You can't have a victim if you don't have a villain. You can't be oppressed if there's no oppressor, can you?
Who would have thought that I would be born into the most hated group of people in the world. White, heterosexual, Christian and male. You know, broad strokes and all of that. How did it get to this point? Are we really that bad or have we just become an escape code for other people's circumstances, behavior and misfortune? Have we allowed it to happen by not standing-up against social-justice worriers who are doing exactly what they blame us of doing?
The targetting of white males, has changed from race to ideology. The funniest thing I've ever watched is where Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens walk out of a coffeeshop and an antifa group awaits them outside, calling them racist and fascist. When the police pitched up they where also told they were racist and fashists. The irony is twofold. Firstly Candice and a huge majority of the police weren't white, but the antifa group was as pale as milk. Secondly, antifa was shouting pigs in a blanked, basically calling for violence against the police officers who where majority Black and Hispanic. This slogan was made famous by Black lives matter because they believed black people are targetted by white police officers. This was the other way round.
Just to show I did do some homework on this subject, let's quote and authority on the matter. Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D. wrote in an atricle in Psychology today about peoples tendencies to "play the blame game" attributing this to five main reasons. She states that blame is an excellent defense mechanism. It is a tool we use when we’re in attack mode. We’re not very good at figuring out the causes of other people's behavior, or even our own. It’s easier to blame someone else than to accept responsibility. People lie. This seems to be a theme discussed by the mojority of articles and research papers.
Let's talk about the word fashism and its meaning since its being thrown around like a basket ball. "A tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control", sounds like antifa doesn't it. "A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition". If you remove race from the equation and change this to the ideology of the far left, the picture changes. The left is trying to force there believes onto others in a dictatorial manner suppressing any opposition or individual thought. Sounds like fascism to me, what do you think?
So where to next? Some say war. I would argue we are already at war, it's just not faught with guns, yet. Webster dictionary's definition of war is "a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism" or "a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end". That does sound like were we are at this moment in time politically, socially and ideologically. The political pendulum has moved so far to the left that conservatives are being called far-right, we have centrist and moderates being called racists, sexist or homophobic.
Looking at the changes in voting paterns accross the world for the past five years, there's a huge divide between people. The nationalist-populist voting patern isn't limited to one country. Most common is Brexit in the UK, Donald Trump in America, Matteo Salvini of Italy, Brazil with nominating Balsonaro and an actor from Hungary named Victor Orban to name but a few.
In short we see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear, believe what we want to believe and use other groups as an escape code doesn't matter what race, religion or ideology. This eventually leads to two sides of the coin refusing to backdown. Its sad to say but we are there, so lets see whats next.
