The Heroic Victim
Occasionally, people will make comments or respond to comments on YouTube that are reasonable and convincing...but, that’s only occasionally. When sparing with most on the left, the comments are usually variations on “Orange [and white] man bad,” “America bad,” and “Western civilization...bad.”
I have to post my response here to a clown that just railed on my “whiteness” with the usual cliche' leftist nonsense about “white people” living on “stolen land.”
I lost the link to her original comment but it ended with, “This is not your country white man. ...Sit down and hush up squatter.” Of course, if I had written something similar regarding the conjured victim class, YouTube would no doubt remove the comment. Her comment was definitely worthy of an eye-roll but I had to respond with a more objective appraisal of history.
My response to this and similar nonsense:
Which of the over 500 “first nations” are you referring to? The rare peaceful ones or the many who conquered other tribes and held slaves (eg. The Aztecs).
Your aggressive comment sounds more like utterings from an inferiority complex than a strong dignified and objective individual.
The world’s history is full of attacks and defeats. The weak and chaotic are often defeated. There’s nothing heroic about victimhood.
I’ll be more convinced of your view of the “white man” (I assume you mean western civilization since you’re obviously not a racist) when you give up your smart phone, air conditioning, and plentiful low-cost food — none of which are products of unsophisticated and defeated cultures.
