I don't see how that line of thinking is helpful at all to your plight.


--------------------------------------------------

And he who is not sufficiently courageous to defend his soul — don’t let him be proud of his ‘progressive’ views, and don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a distinguished figure or a general. Let him say to himself: I am a part of the herd and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and kept warm.

The very first line of this thread was:
White Privilege in the United States, Is it true or not? Do we have an advantage because of our race, or color? Is this the original Affirmative Action? What do you think about it?

The privileged people in America are the Scrooges, who tend to be White, not the Cratchites, who tend to be poor white trash and non-Whites. At the beginning of A Christmas Carol, Cratchit didn't even have a name. He was just 'clerk' until the fifth and final chapter. All of Scrooge's Capitalist thinking was about saving his precious little soul from going to Hell for the previous 4 Chapters, nothing about his clerk Cratchit's welfare. Scrooge is a very privileged guy who didn't give a damn about anybody but himself, which is a very Capitalist way of thinking.

If A Christmas Carol had been steered more toward Cratchit, the poor white trash, Scrooge would have been very upset. How dare that clerk appear in my story, which should be all about me, Me, ME and my Immortal Soul! The privileged Americans of today really don't like being reminded that their Cratchites, either the non-White kind or the poor white trash kind, are kicked around by the privileged American Scrooges, most of whom falsely deny they are privileged or that they kick around their employees.

So, SECONDRATE, you posted that the REAL privilege is wealth, not color. That the problem is sourced in capitalism, not racism. And by extrapolation, BLM. CRT and all the rest are just distraction/sideshow to keep people of all colors fighting each other instead of fighting for a fair system. Correct?

The whole thing is worth a watch, but my reply here starts at 4:30.

Dave gets it. Dave's always gotten it.

You write in abstractions, Signym. I will use an abstraction: You can't build a fair system when the functional components of this system are people with less attractive forms of mental maladies.

The way I see it is that privileged American Scrooge characters -- the ones I am familiar with are as crazy as Dickens' Scrooge was at his very worst -- will say that Scrooge worked hard to become successful, while Bob Cratchit is a lazy, worthless character, therefore Scrooge is enraged against Cratchit, saying something on the line of Why should I pay Cratchit more? Why are my taxes spent on lazy Cratchit? Why does Cratchit's stupid children get into colleges that my smart children can't? Why is Cratchit allowed to vote? Why is Cratchit allowed to walk free? Why does Crachit live in my neighborhood? Occasionally the Scrooges of America stop talking about their anger and actually attack the Cratchits or quietly cheat the Cratchits, then brag to other Scrooges about how dumb the Cratchits are.

In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge becomes a 100% different man, but American Scrooges can't alter their behavior even 1%, which is real life tragedy for America:
Quote:

Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.

Finally being allowed to Name-The-Jew after all those years of frustration is what finally drove Radioman Pirate News crazy? Screeching and Roaring at some old Judge when he got caught with a speeding ticket


Think very hard now what other group or religion might have been making profit off the slave trade back in those days...Let's think back and count some groups... there were Spanish bear those island, the British got to those New Americas islands started putting up Churches, the French...I wonder who else what other merchant class could have been involved ... Fast forward to today....its ok for BLM and Native Rioters and Communist Bolsevik Antifa Looters to smash certain Churches and Statues in the USA and Canada but what of the something else, another religion type were they recently given their own country almost 100 yrs ago and then all this back and forth happened between them and the old crazy jihads...that other group...who could they be now?
some of them are not even really religious they are kinda Atheist and Degenerate at times...maybe they even pray to some other Occult Babylon thing
Would ya look at that Clintons, Bush and Trumps the daughters sold off and all married to 'Greatest Ally'

just as they did in Old Times when beaten Kings sold off their daughters
