Origin Story
the Hubris of Systemic Racism | a sickening double-standard
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? (Romans 2:3, KJV)
Unmitigated Gall – words are too weak to describe this level of hatemongering tradition

Similar measures to the “Sixties Scoop” have happened in other countries as well, such as the Stolen Generation of Australia.
the hallmark of hubris is contempt
Racist Grooming – The Trump administration & its agents used the office of the President of the United States to denigrate Black Lives globally
Grooming is a set of manipulative behaviors that the abuser uses to gain control over a potential victim, coerce them to agree to the abuse, and reduce the risk of being caught. The act of grooming is a multi-leveled strategy, so it doesn’t happen by accident. Groomers are usually people with narcissistic personality disorder or other Cluster B types of disorders that you would probably want to run from because their intent is destruction in your life. Racist grooming is racist abuse, designed to promote and incite racial discrimination. Though grooming can take many different forms, it often follows a similar pattern.
- Victim selection: Abusers often observe possible victims and select them based on ease of access to them or their perceived vulnerability.
- Gaining access to & isolating the victim: Abusers will attempt to physically or emotionally separate a victim from those protecting them and often seek out positions in which they can gain complete control over the lives of their victims.
- Trust development: Abusers attempt to gain trust of potential victims and to train them to keep the secret.
- Desensitization: Abusers often start to engage a victim in ways that appear harmless, and later escalate to increasingly more dominating contact by progressive boundary crossing. They’re hot and cold with their target, meaning that they utilize positive and negative emotions or moments to trick others.
- Normalization: To avoid raising suspicions, abusers attempt to make their behavior seem natural. It can be particularly hard to recognize tactics used in grooming. Be alert for signs that include secrecy, undue influence or control, and particularly ‘playing around in the margins’ of racist ideological boundaries.
Trigger Warning: This episode may include topics such as assault, trauma, and discrimination. If necessary, listeners are encouraged to refrain from listening and care for their safety and well-being.

– 32:00 Racism & grooming commentary, what am I supposed to do? (dazed & disgusted)
Grooming behaviors are not only used to gain a victim’s trust, but often are used to create a trustworthy image & relationship between the abuser & the community at-large. Psychologically, grooming has a huge negative effect on personality, self-perception and the community’s discourse conventions.
the agency of hubris is sadism
Sadism is a term with a long history. Sadists take pleasure in hurting other people. Sadists possess an intrinsic motivation to inflict suffering on innocent people, even when this comes at a personal cost to themselves. This is because, for sadists, inflicting physical/mental pain is pleasurable, exciting, & often sexually stimulating. It is about the pleasure derived from exploiting others, the enjoyment of violation.
Acknowledge & release any hope of changing, “healing,” or “reforming” the sadist. It won’t work, & will only convey another “weakness” to someone who is manipulative, exploitative, callous, cruel & will delight in your continued suffering and humiliation.
How to deal with a sadist: Don’t let what they do or say affect you – or at least don’t show it. Don’t show fear or anger or anxiety about what they do or say, be aloof and apathetic. Do not engage. Do not comply. Sadists like to be “of consequence” to others. Being ”relevant’ is of the utmost importance to the sadist. They often seek relevance by causing the distress / pain / humiliation that they so much enjoy. So if you make it seem like they are of NO consequence to you, they will be deeply threatened. They will doubt themselves. They will feel insecure.
Jew Men Invade Black Lives Matter Protest, Pick a Fight & Then Claim That They Are The Real Karens Victims
THE TIMES OF ISRAEL (31 OCT 2020) Read the full article Jewish men ‘abused’ with anti-Semitic slurs at Philadelphia Black Lives Matter protest (deceitful, the article was changed AFTER this post but screenshots we have, proves my point, lol).
Three Jewish men were ‘harassed’ (/sarcasm) with slurs at a Black Lives Matter protest in Philadelphia this week, where they instigated a conflict with what they called “an adherent of a fringe extremist movement” not affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement. At least one of the Jewish men has shared content from far-right activists.
Neither selfless nor genuine, they did not come to support the victim, Walter Wallace, an African American man, or his family. They did, however, cause additional grief to a community reeling from this killing. One of the Jews, a student at a yeshiva in New Jersey, said he & a friend had come to Philadelphia to visit acquaintances & later came to the protest to see firsthand what they had seen in the news.
The entire incident is a context in which many American Jews are deeply skeptical of, or opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, accusing it of anti-Semitism.
One Jewish man in the video has publicly criticized the Black Lives Matter movement and came to the protest wearing a shirt bearing the OK hand gesture (so, whose the REAL racist?), which in the shirt’s context is a white supremacist symbol, in addition to dogs seemingly making Nazi salutes.
Denigrating, vulgar & disqualifying.
The incident, which was captured in a video circulated widely on social media, happened late Tuesday night, after demonstrations erupted across the city protesting the killing one day earlier by police of Walter Wallace.
