Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the pushover is always pushed over. Remember when you were a kid, and there was a boy on the playground who got picked-on mercilessly? He might have been able to beat up his tormentors easily, but refused to. Probably because on some level he believed he deserved the punishment. So he put up with it. Think about how many times we have been told, “All you need do is stand up to a bully.” Yet the innate civilization in us stands in the way of such aggressive behavior. Meanwhile, the bully has no such ethical boundary. The bully will cross every moral and civilized line without a care. This is because the bully is motivated by the thrill of grinding another down. That’s the paradigm we find ourselves in, with the elite and Muslims as the bullies and we are the scrawny kid.
The picked-on kid may be three times as tough as the bully but if he never lifts a finger to protect himself all his strength is irrelevant. As long as the picked-on are willing to take it the bullies of the world are willing to dish it out. This means the more the victim takes then the worse it will get. Have you ever seen a bully self-limit? That would be like a cocaine addict given unlimited amounts self limiting… it doesn’t happen. The only limitation when morality fails, is the threat of punishment. It’s that threat of punishment that keeps bullying from getting too far out of hand, on the playground. The teacher, principal or law enforcement may limit the physical damage a playground bully can inflict, but the mental harm can last a lifetime.
The picked-on will often absorb the ridicule and update their self-image. This makes them all the more willing to accept ridicule. It increasingly becomes part of their mindset. This is most effective when the victim is attacked as the villain. The bully might grab the hand of another kid and force him to hit himself, as the bully says, “Stop hitting yourself.” The lesson is that the bully is the good guy while the victim is the bad guy. Moreover, bullies over time will justify their villainy. “They must deserve it since they don’t do anything about it,” becomes a worn track in the bully’s mind. In this way the bully considers himself the hero and the person he destroys as the villain. Pretty soon, everyone agrees the victim has it coming for being such a bad person.
Once the reality is fully inverted, everyone agrees the victim has it coming. Their meekness isn’t a virtue it’s proof of villainy. The aggression of the bully then becomes justification for his crimes against humanity. At that point civilization spins off the rails. This paradigm operates at all scales. From the individual to a nation. Once someone or group is targeted, they either stand up for themselves, or eventually their torment becomes justified by their lack of response. We can recognize this in our own actions when it comes to our present circumstances. People of European descent are targeted as racists for merely existing. Moreover, our lack of response to rape gangs hoovering up little girls tells the criminals we deserve to be victims, because our meekness says we agree to it.
In this way, every act of terror that happens to us is further proof we deserve to be replaced. Our meekness is no virtue, it’s seen as acceptance of our inferior status. Just as our turning the other cheek delights the bullies of the world. Our refusal to stand up, then, is validation of their bullying. Meanwhile, we are treated to serious allegations of heinous crimes by the elite against children… and we sit on our hands. The problem isn’t the bullies… they will always exist. Our problem is our own meekness. Our refusal to act in the face of the outrageous makes us victims who deserve to be victims. When we are slandered and say nothing, that is agreement with the slander. Seething in anger and doing nothing about it only makes it worse. Good, decent, and wise people would stand up and tolerate it no more.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
