Ruled by Victims
March 11, 2019
IMAGINE you have just been robbed and beaten. As the robber runs away on the street, he stops and starts to scream hysterically: “Help! Help! I’m in pain. I’m in pain. Oh! Oh! He hurt me! He hurt me!” The police show up. They automatically believe the thief is the victim. The hysterics distract them, and the robber has passed the loot to a friend.
That’s exactly what last week’s House Resolution 183 represents: hysterics by defenders of criminals. “Oh! Oh! They have hurt us! They have hurt us!” Criticizing Jews is supposedly tantamount to committing genocide. “Help! Help! I’m in pain!”
How is it possible that the most privileged group in America, the group that has brought us excessive mass immigration, indebtedness, multiculturalism, racial politics, unjust foreign wars, legal abortion, staggering financial crimes, ethnic networking that has crowded out others from top colleges and jobs, Holocaustianity, fraudulent evolutionism, psychiatric quackery, same-sex “marriage,” exhausted working mothers, pornography, the drug epidemic, sex for teens, transgenderism for tots, media monopolies that have near total control over the flow of information — and more, gets away with claiming to be the victim?
It’s the chutzpah of the robber crying out. It’s so outrageous it stuns normal people into submission. The screaming, hysterical victim has moral status. He is so loud, so aggressive, so insistent, he prevents clear thought. Victims rule.
There’s another trick the robber plays. The police show up. The robber points to his victim and he says, “This man is claiming I robbed him. I can’t believe it! This man is sick! He’s irrational. He’s deeply irrational and he’s filled with hate. He belongs in a mental institution! Take him away!… Oh, I’m filled with pain! I’m in pain! The hate is killing me! Oh no! Help me! I’m going to die from hate!!”
And the real victim is taken away to be rehabilitated.
