AITAH for hating the way my bf jokes abut his future?

2024.05.11 04:38 Mental-Bedroom224 AITAH for hating the way my bf jokes abut his future?

I (25F) and my bf (26m) are coming up on two years together but we’ve known each other since high school. In HS I was the honor roll student and in the top 10 of my class while he was a sophomore year and vocational school dropout. We both come from similar backgrounds where poverty and struggling are the norm. However it’s been my mission to escape that lifestyle since I was old enough to comprehend it. As you can assume it’s shaped the woman I am today, I’m extremely driven and ambitious, I work and go to school 7 days a week. My boyfriend on the other hand?… Well he struggles to even keep a job and when I ask him questions about his future he can’t give me an answer (which is a red flag I’m already aware of.) But he wasn’t like this when we got together so before you ask why I didn’t leave, I’m already in love so that’s easier said than done. Things changed after he lost his job, he just seemingly became a man with no drive. Now the jokes that bother me aren’t your average jokes. It’s things like when we’re crossing the street and a car starts to turn he says “hit me so I can get paid” which isn’t a groundbreaking phrase but he says it every time anything like that happens and half the time it’s not even with expensive cars, it’ll be with beat up ones like bro that’s a Nissan with one hubcap and mismatched passenger door, aim higher. Or he’s also said things like “I’m a DGK at heart” for those unaware of what that is, it’s a skateboard brand that stands for “dirty ghetto kids.” 😒 This plus his lack of ambition just annoys me to no end. I don’t find it cute as I want to shed this life not wear it like some badge of honor. He also talks about how as a kid he wanted to be a “scammer” and “card cracker” and he laughs like it’s funny but I find it so fucking sad and.. icky. Because it’s like as a kid I wanted to live a privileged life (vacations, stability, flexibility.. still want that) and you wanted to live as a criminal. The problem is that these jokes just give me such a big ICK and even when he says he’s joking I believe there’s some truth in what he says/wants. I believe part of him wants to be the old dude still on the block with a gold tooth (another “joke” of his) that thinks he’s mister cool guy but in reality he’s just an old loser with a drinking problem, hence the gold tooth. While I want to be the beautiful, successful, independent woman that lives a life she truly loves. I just feel like such an uptight bitch for hating these “jokes” so tell me, am I the asshole?
Additional info: we are an interracial couple, I’m black and he’s Mexican. I think this also adds to it as I want to get away from everything that’s “expected” from people like us, impoverished minorities.

2024.05.07 18:14 Gorillainabikini Zionists denying the genocide? Here’s is all 10 steps of genocide with sources of them being committed

Classification – The differences between people are not respected. There’s a division of ‘us’ and ‘them’ which can be carried out using stereotypes, or excluding people who are perceived to be different.
https://m.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/the-second-intifada-a-defining-event-that-reshaped-the-nation-642644
Symbolisation – This is a visual manifestation of hatred. Jews in Nazi Europe were forced to wear yellow stars to show that they were ‘different’.
https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2017/11/18/the-colour-coded-israeli-id-system-for-palestinians
Discrimination – The dominant group denies civil rights or even citizenship to identified groups. The 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of their German citizenship, made it illegal for them to do many jobs or to marry German non-Jews.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-system-of-apartheid/#:~:text=Since%202002%2C%20Israel%20has%20adopted,separate%20Palestinians%20from%20their%20families.
Dehumanisation – Those perceived as ‘different’ are treated with no form of human rights or personal dignity. During the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Tutsis were referred to as ‘cockroaches’; the Nazis referred to Jews as ‘vermin’.
https://theintercept.com/2024/02/07/gaza-israel-netanyahu-propaganda-lies-palestinians/
Organisation – Genocides are always planned. Regimes of hatred often train those who go on to carry out the destruction of a people.
את"צhttps://www.idf.il › ... › Mini SitesTraining and Preparation
Polarisation – Propaganda begins to be spread by hate groups. The Nazis used the newspaper Der Stürmer to spread and incite messages of hate about Jewish people.
https://theintercept.com/2024/02/07/gaza-israel-netanyahu-propaganda-lies-palestinians/
Preparation – Perpetrators plan the genocide. They often use euphemisms such as the Nazis’ phrase ‘The Final Solution’ to cloak their intentions. They create fear of the victim group, building up armies and weapons.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_invasion_of_the_Gaza_Strip_(2023%E2%80%93present)
Persecution – Victims are identified because of their ethnicity or religion and death lists are drawn up. People are sometimes segregated into ghettos, deported or starved and property is often expropriated. Genocidal massacres begin.
https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/12/05/does-israels-treatment-palestinians-rise-level-apartheid#:~:text=The%20oppression%20is%20most%20severe,rights%20under%20Israeli%20civil%20law.
Extermination – The hate group murders their identified victims in a deliberate and systematic campaign of violence. Millions of lives have been destroyed or changed beyond recognition through genocide.
https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/disasters-and-emergencies/world/whats-happening-in-gaza-humanitarian-crisis-grows
Denial – The perpetrators or later generations deny the existence of any crime.

_______Choices________
Hello areslash conspiracy. I'm out of my hibernation with another important message for you all and I know that just makes you so fucking happy and excited.
I can't see the moderators of this community from where I'm staring, but I wanted to say, "hey, what's good, fam?" Please keep this place as one of the last bastions of free speech that is left in this god-forsaken place.
Alright, now that I have officially tongued the mods assholes to the point where pleasure turns to dysphoria, allow me to present to you: total bullshit!
...and some other things.
Let's talk about choices. We make them everyday; life is all about them. This is a somewhat true statement - because life is really all about making sure you don't wake up - and choices play a significant role in this operation. Probably not so big a role as language, however, because language is the most deceptive tool in the arsenal of the ones with the power, so it is important that we choose our words wisely.
For example, I keep hearing the phrase "forced vaccinations" or "mandatory vaccinations" being thrown around conspiracy forums, and this phrase, in itself, is an example of the deceptive power of words. We need to be honest with ourselves - because through honesty the truth is exposed - and the truth is the most well hidden part of this experience because the ones in power work to keep the truth hidden at all costs... because the truth will "set you free". But I digress. No one was forced to get vaccinated - not yet, anyway - so let's be honest about this: you might have chosen to take the jab, in order to keep your job, or you might have chosen to take the jab, in order to participate in society. This is a choice that you are making. Perhaps the stakes are high and perhaps you felt coerced because you had a lot to lose if you chose not to take the jab; but until they are breaking down your door, holding you down, and sticking that needle in your arm - until that time - you are giving your consent to take the jab.
This distinction is an important one to discern because we should be paying attention to the parts in life that are forced upon us and the parts in life that we are choosing to consent to. For example, no one forced us to wear masks for an entire year, but we all (for the most part) consented to doing so, in order to participate in society. We all chose to stand on the circles on the floor, in every checkout line, of every store. We made this choice for many different reasons - but in this community - many of us simply did this for other peoples "perceived well being". In other words, we were catering to the people that make up the majority and aren't as far along in the process of "waking up" as we are... although, many people seem to be choosing to remain asleep - for many different reasons - far from the most insignificant being "fear based programming".
Allow me to share my perspective: for an entire year, we all wore masks in public: an action which is gradually weakening our immune system. Also in public, we practiced "social-distancing": an action that is also gradually weakening our immune systems. Many people - the drooling masses - took this social-distancing b.s. very seriously, for their own "perceived well being" (while virtue-signaling online that they were doing it for everyone else). So, the government asked us to all make a choice: to wear masks and social-distance for a year and - oh - almost forgot! Hand sanitizer - all over, suddenly - some so strong that it seems to be pure rubbing alcohol - killing all germs - and, well... gradually weakening our immune systems! The government had us all compromising our immune systems and overall health, in preparation to get vaccinated with something that sounds... frankly, batshit insane. Do you think this was all an accident? An innocent faux-pas on the part of our dear leaders? I think this was done intentionally. I've also prepared this meme, to help illustrate the conspiracy in question:
The inspiration for this actually came from a post that was written by someone who is, by no means, an anti-vaxxer, and overall still happy to be vaccinated... because the debilitating side-effects, self-replicating spike proteins is nothing compared to the constant onslaught of fear-based programming.
"Trust the science". That's the last thing I think I'll do; thank you very much. Science is a bullshit factory specializing in limiting beliefs, which uses language to support any point of view that it chooses to support... and of course the point of view we are inundated with, in excess, is that of the ones in power. So please know that if you choose to educate me in the comments, about why the science behind social distancing, face masks and hand sanitizer is to our benefit then I'm either going to think you are being intentionally deceitful, or I will feel sorry for you because you have sincerely become this invested in the wrong direction of practices that are to your benefit.
The moral of the story is that the words we use need to be chosen carefully, because when we choose words such as "forced" and "mandated", we are only working to deceive ourselves further away from the truth. The truth is that we are consistently bombarded with propaganda and manipulation, from the many resources available to the power structure, with the goal of getting our consent. The internet has been a great resource for the power structure to use for minimizing the power of consent. We must constantly "agree" to the terms and conditions that are made to be intentionally agonizing to read and understand. We are being trained to believe that consent is of little value or importance - consent is nothing more than a single click - in order to get to the prize on the other side. The truth may be that our consent is far more valuable than we realize: our consent is one of our most valuable assets.
We need to pay attention to the effect that our consent has on our shared reality - because if there is one thing I learned, after experiencing psychosis - it's that the greatest sin is often committed by very kind people: the kind of people who are timid, helpful, and generous to a point where others take advantage of their kind, benevolent nature. Everyone knows someone who is in a relationship with a manipulative, controlling narcissist that walks all over them. Everyone knows someone who is kind, meek, and respectful of others... because they have no backbone. Someone who has lived a life of avoiding any and all conflict, at all costs, and chooses instead to allow others to take advantage of them. When you habitually allow others to walk all over you, this is your consent that "it's ok for others to do this to me". You are a worse person that the one who is violating you, because you think that it is ok for this to happen to you.
Alright - that was just to set the mood for the actual post - which will begin..... ........ ......... now.
CHOICES: PATRIOTIC EDITION
In the spirit of (shudder) "the most free country on Earth" we're going to (I had a bad reaction to typing that just now, I find the idea to be suffocating and repulsive) talk about choices in red, white and blue. To be perfectly honest, I don't know that much about topics like "color programming", or the exact science and reasoning behind it; I just know that this color palette is used with enough frequency and in a way where there is likely some intent behind it. Perhaps it's as simple as feeling patriotic about democracy, constitutional rights, and other deceptive concepts that are total bullshit - or maybe - the meaning behind it goes far deeper, into the psychological manipulation that is induced by this particular color palette. When I saw that the magnet shared the same red/blue color palette, I realized that these colors are likely being used in order to put each individual into a state of polarization.
CHOICE # 1
https://preview.redd.it/5hrmdbcw9iyc1.png?width=250&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e8ffb35db15de791e14f2677852c98f523cd8f6
Games are fun. Games are based in conflict. Manufacturing reality by making conflict the biggest source for entertainment.
Being alive involves the near constant activity of making choices. We are indoctrinated with the idea that having more choices is desirable. The power construct that is manufacturing reality has recently gone into overdrive in the manufacturing of choices. As the information age progresses through time, the amount of choices is becoming an ever increasing burden on the collective consciousness. The choices are presented using many different angles. A popular example is beliefs, which are currently being exploited by the manufacturers of choices more than any other time in the collective memory*...* which is always followed closely by the collective amnesia. Choices are deeply rooted in the DIVIDE AND CONQUER strategy, an all time favorite of the power construct. Choices are now being utilized in another favorite strategy for maintaining control: ORDER OUT OF CHAOS. Choices have an important role in the MANUFACTURING OF CONSENT, which is highly valued by the power construct. Consent is the oil that keeps the reality machine running smoothly, which is why so much effort is put into the illusion that consent has very little value. This illusion is concealed very well within the fabric of the intangible idea of reality that is overlaying the physical, material reality and has been so successful that consent is given almost instantaneously and without a second thought. Meanwhile, the illusion of value that has been given to currency is as strong as ever: remaining in its long-held position as one of the "pillars of control", which supports and maintains the power construct. The other pillar of control: the illusion of legitimacy, which several institutions within the power construct rely on, has been under maintenance, as a new version is being installed. While the anticipation for this new update slowly builds, the grand master illusion behind the power construct: FEAR BASED PROGRAMMING, - that's it - I'm giving up on this now. They're fucking plastic robots that hit each other until one of their heads... pops a boner?
CHOICE # 2
A theme that seems to always accompany color-based choices emerges: everyone on the outside, looking in, sees an absolutely pointless rivalry. These dudes are victims of mind control.
Well, after choice # 1 resulted in a train wreck of disjointed abstractions trying way too hard to be deep, meaningful observations, I am troubled by the thought of how many readers have probably given up on this. I want everyone that is still with me to know that, due to irrational fears about what anonymous online profiles might think about me, I will now focus primarily on "fitting in" and being likeable, by employing a strategy of trying very hard to not express any more ideas that might be considered "out there". Obviously, this is just the result of growing up poor and uneducated in the ghetto. I mean, who is crazy enough to actually believe that this is somehow connected to other rivalry's that use... very similar hues of red and blue. I mean, they are two of the most popular colors out there - both primary - and... realistically, there aren't that many colors; especially that complement each other like red and blue... ahh, blue and red: the colors of rivalry. There's no deep conspiracy here. Obviously, these guys wear these colors so they know who their enemies are... because, otherwise, there is no reason to kill each other. This is all about the colors. It would be completely pointless otherwise and these guys would probably get on well and hang out in each other's back yards... and then the cops would have nothing to do, which would be a waste of tax payer dollars. Can't have cops just standing around eatin' donuts and getting fat.
CHOICE # 3
Coke & Pepsi. A classic rivalry that makes me proud to live in a free country, where great ideas like capitalism can flourish. I know that they are made by the same company, but I don't really think that matters, ya know?
We are presented with choices. Our choices shape our opinions. So, if I choose red - I mean - Coke, then I will get along with others who choose Coke and we will agree that we chose correctly and that the people that prefer blue - I mean - Pepsi, chose incorrectly. Well, the people that chose blue think they chose correctly and that it is, in fact, the red people that chose incorrectly. This is a conflict of interests, and conflicts create division. People who are divided require a non-biased mediator so that order can be maintained and, because this mediator cares about the safety of both the red and the blue groups, it only makes sense that they should be given the authority to decide what is ok and is not ok for both groups. This is the most rational and logical option because the authority isn't biased towards red or blue, which means they will know what's best for everyone's interests. The police are there to make sure that all red and all blue people are all following all of the all-inclusive rules, mandated by the mediator, and all this is done for the greater good of society. I - I'm gonna get all choked up over here, just thinking about how nice the government is to do all that it does for us. They protect us from those fucking freaks that drink Pepsi. God I fucking hate those sub-human blue-tards! Red people generally have more money and are more successful, which means they are smarter. What started as a small neighborhood feud between Coke and Pepsi is actually how the gang warfare between the Bloods & Crips originated. That's right, they got the colors from Coke and Pepsi, which obviously is a lot more likely than a vast conspiracy involving powerful people manipulating reality in order to maintain control and power over the uninitiated masses. Fuck poor people. Oh, and how about those people that make their preference for Coke or Pepsi an aspect of their personality? They don't seem to understand that the color of the can is the only fucking difference. That's why I stick with Tab Cola, for those unmistakable metallic flavors and the uncomfortable, sticky feeling all over my body the next day.
CHOICE # 4
They're the exact same store except for the fact that one is red and one is blue... and yet, you have a preference for one over the other. You made up some reasons for why they are different in your head, because you are under an immense amount of mind control.
Ahh... consumerism: the arena of pointless choices. Why does only one company manufacture all the different brands of eyeglasses? Perhaps... to have control over the market? No - to have control over you, stupid - and no: this isn't a joke. It's a desperate plea, urging you to wake up and see this shit for what it really is, while you have this opportunity - this window - into the illusion. You see, they are getting desperate - and lately, the world seems like it has gone mad - which is part of their strategy, which is preventing you from seeing it. Why do you think there are suddenly twenty new M&M's flavor combinations? All these new Reese's Peanut Butter Cup's with minor alterations of essentially the same fucking thing? Let me guess: they're just having fun... right? Trying to stir up interest in candy bars? Or maybe for profit... right? This is just a business strategy to get your money... right? No... no... I'm afraid you're thinking way too small... with your logic and reason and all the other LIMITING BELIEFS that you have been - and are being - indoctrinated with: every fucking day! These are all pointless choices (brought to you by consumerism) that are trying to keep you distracted. Trying to keep your mind occupied. Why is Netflix trying to induce option paralysis? Why are the high-tech gadgets we use for entertainment purposes bombarding us with a constant onslaught of ads, new articles, stories, and a maddening amount of pointless bullshit?!?!?! They want you to be overwhelmed*;* they want you to freeze. They want you to have no sense of identity. They want life to overwhelm you with an endless list of pointless shit that has to get done in order to maintain... in order to maintain... to maintain what? THE ILLUSION, IDIOT. Ok: that was uncalled for. I don't think you're an idiot. I think that you know, in the bottom of your cold, gray heart , that the crazy shit I am saying sounds right (for some reason). They are manipulating reality in order to keep you under their power and control. I don't exactly know why, but I do know that they care a lot more about you being distracted than they care about worthless green paper. You know what? I bet the 1% doesn't give a shit about money: they simply have all of it just to piss you off. Why is all this corruption in the news all the time? The next fucking scandal that everyone can talk about? WHY is the news telling us to wear masks, get vaccinated and then, the following week, admitting COVID-19 is a bio-weapon? TO KEEP YOU DISTRACTED. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO THEM. Oh, and Walmart and Target's LOGOS both contain some occult symbolism. Yep: Target's logo is the astrological symbol for the sun and Walmart's logo is the Star of David... with the hexagon in the middle. The hexagon is symbolic of the cube. Once you understand that you can't not see the cube*.* It's fucking weird - but also a conversation for another time - when we can discuss why all of these well-known corporate LOGOs are symbolic of Saturn:
OH NO NOT muh REDDITS
CHOICE # 5
You know what? I think I should devote a large portion of my life to watching a bunch of overpaid, mentally compromised, grown-ass men chase a ball around. I also think I should be passionate about the team that is closest to me in geographical proximity. This is not mind control, but as a conspiracy realist, I do like to point out that MK Ultra really did happen, and the CIA really did experiment with mind control back in the 1950's, but the program ended decades ago. I like to go on online conspiracy forums, and help people understand the reality of conspiracy theories, so they don't get sucked into lies like Q-anon or lizard people or THIS POST, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY THE WORK OF A MENTALLY UNSTABLE INDIVIDUAL.
Watching sports makes me feel safe, and comfortable, because it distracts me from all the bullshit of everyday life. It's good to have a nice distraction - and fill my mind with useless sports stats - or talk endlessly with the bro's about individual players strength's and weaknesses - in a boring, monotonous tone of voice - while I sip domestic piss-water beer. I don't want to think too deeply about things because it starts to make me really uncomfortable when I have to confront reality. I'd rather just not worry about it and see what happens. Who am I but a lowly speck of insignificant, worthless dog shit in this giant, scary universe, where I am completely powerless to do anything but take whatever beating the world feels like dishing out to me that day? I dunno. Maybe Jesus will come back and good will win out in the end. Good always wins in the end - that's just the way it works - so I don't really have to worry about anything. God is good. My little brother doesn't like sports at all. He likes to put on girls makeup, and is always depressed and confused and obsessing about some dumb shit. We're lucky to live in the modern age, with advancements in science that will allow my brother to medically transition into the woman that he always should have been - and always truly was - on the inside. Some assholes don't think that trans women are women. They just don't understand how science works, and don't care to learn. They are just misogynistic, transphobic assholes. That's right: if you don't think that you can be born a man and then change into a woman that means you are transphobic. You hate trans people because you don't want to believe that a man can change into a woman. Anyway - that's my brother -not me. I like guy shit... because I'm normal.
CHOICE # 666
The choice of the beast
Oh NO! This isn't "allowed" on this forum - which is why I hid it at the end - because I know nobody is still reading this. I've alienated myself from the audience, with all the confusing switching between dialogues of seemingly different people and JUST BECAUSE I BET there will be some DIP-CLIP that says "every post here is just about politics." HA! Nice try, but this isn't about politics; this is a meta-analysis of WHY it's NO POLITICS. The short answer is that participating in this is as pointless as those people above, participating in gang warfare against their fellow man. "THOSE PEOPLE?" What do you mean, those people? Black people? THIS GUYS RACIST. No, even worse: HE'S INTOLERANT. The human race has become far too soft, weak and emasculated by the pesticides and environmental toxins that get dumped all over us, every day! GET VACCINATED for other people, you SELFISH CONSPIRACY THEORIST. This is why we aren't going to reach herd immunity and we will have to deal with COVID-19 for years to come: because of people like you. WHY WOULD I trust a RANDOM, intolerant asshole on Reddit, who watched a YouTube video about lizard people, over EXPERTS who WENT TO SCHOOL for years to become indoctrinated, believe everything the MSM tells them, and completely LACK the ability to critically think?! All my life I heard that I "need to go to college", and today I couldn't be happier that I am not of a "higher education" because, from what I've gathered, they are some of the most CLOSE-MINDED people on the planet. LIMITING BELIEFS. That's what trendy these days.
I'm not done yet! Yes, I'm gonna talk about the donkey and the elephant: not only are politics bullshit; those who participate in politics are participating in a terrible, evil practice. Why would you affiliate with a political party and tell people what you think they can and cannot do? Can't you see that's the crux of the problem? I know things are fucked when the majority of people are of the opinion that we need to FIX the government (change it, drain the swamp, bureaucracy, etc.) They don't get it - we don't need to change the government - we need to END the government. Government is the single biggest threat to humanity. "But they protect us from the BAD people." Guess what? "The bad people" are there because of the government. The government needs the bad people to be there, in order to maintain their "illusion of legitimacy" (credit - Jim@EOI) and make themselves seem needed. THE BAD PEOPLE are the people who protect us. The sooner you understand that, the better off you are. And people on are still talking about election fraud because they think that the Orange Man is GOOD. Can't you see the mind control? How are these people this BLIND to reality?
Manipulators of reality.
Look... it's the superpowers. The greatest countries in the world! But why do they have the exact same color scheme as all the pointless choices? How can they be united? This is the divided states and the divided kingdom, and they have conquered. DIVIDE & CONQUER. Oh, wait... some patriots went off to find a new home and fight for freedom from the oppression of the taxation of the royal bloody palace? Only to go and make a new country even more oppressive and with higher taxes, some two-hundred odd years later? Are you SURE that it wasn't actually to commit GENOCIDE against all the indigenous BROWN PEOPLE, whose genetic makeup allowed them to have a far deeper understanding of spirituality? CoUlDn't bE Th*@*T....
I'M DRAWING A LINE IN THE SAND
I am so sick of the average Redditor - who thinks they're smart because they're an atheist who understands science - arguing with me, using all their SUPER-BELIEVABLE LIMITING BELIEFS. I know on Reddit it's hard to tell who is real and who ... isn't real - but these people are seemingly the majority now - and they're fucked. They don't even actually understand what science is. Science isn't chopping off your dick to be a woman. Let's talk about the actual scientist who performed many series of actual scientific experiments to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that people are able to control material reality with only the use of their minds. Why doesn't anyone ever want to talk about THAT science?
What it seems is that every thing in this world - every institution, religion, and academic study - has been corrupted to keep us under control. The people that are in control of this world have access to esoteric knowledge that they have hidden from the masses to keep for themselves. This knowledge involves the ability to manipulate reality, which they use for power and keeping the rest of us down and powerless. From what I can tell, the thing they don't want us to know is that we are powerful beings, with capabilities that have been hidden and unused. Every person needs to understand that they are a powerful being that doesn't need any help or anyone to save them. WE have the power to control our own destiny. If the majority would start believing in their power and themselves, we would have a chance at ending this shitty reality manipulation and living as non-dual beings of love - as the true source of creation made us - powerful, independent beings with everything we need, and no need to evolve or learn shitty lessons about suffering. Unfortunately, it seems like most people would prefer to keep their creature comforts, believe that this isn't as bad as I am making it sound, and remain here, in the safety of familiarity... away from the fear of the unknown. And that makes me so fucking sad that it brings tears to my eyes.

2024.05.01 09:52 Chas-- The History Textbook of the Commonwealth Where I Was Born

The History Textbook of the Commonwealth Where I Was Born

Virginia: Land of my Birth and Identity, in the Early 1950s.

As we proceed merrily through a process of book burnings of modern textbooks [critical race theory!] ... and then bringing back the replacement histories presented in textbooks of the past ... it might be interesting to visit what was: from the Washington Post (unlocked article):
The lies our textbooks told my generation of Virginians about slavery - State leaders went to great lengths to instill their gauzy version of the Lost Cause in young minds
This was the Virginia state history textbook for decades:
Virginia: History, Government, Geography (1957), the state-sanctioned seventh-grade history textbook that was written with the express intention of presenting a Lost Cause view of slavery as a benign institution. https://encyclopediavirginia.org/how-the-negroes-lived-under-slavery/
I was curious enough to find this textbook in the Link+ library system and check it out with an inter-library loan. It's an amazing collection of outright white supremacy myths, and enormous blocks of missing history, such as:
  • what happened in the deep South after the cotton gin made productivity soar
  • selling family slaves South to be worked to death
  • the Klan surge after Emancipation and Reconstruction and their suppression by Federal troops
  • the Jim Crow deconstruction
  • the second Klan surge in the early 20th century as African Americans slowly emerged from Jim Crow
  • etc., ad nauseum
Here's a few pages of an interesting chapter of the history of the "Old Dominion":
A pleasanter voyage than their arrival ...
Free training, overseers to take care of them and free housing ...
Free health care and mingling with the master's children ...
Happy religious and social life ...
So well treated, like carefree children ...
This 1807 picture from the Library of Congress casts some doubt upon that narrative ...
Let's have a look at the specifics of the history of legislation regarding racial identity in my birth state, the Commonwealth of Virginia. First, some precise definitions beyond the mixed-race term "mulatto":
In the colonial societies of the Americas and Australia, a quadroon or quarteron was a person with one quarter African/Aboriginal and three quarters European ancestry. Similar classifications were octoroon for one-eighth black and quintroon for one-sixteenth black.

1822 Virginia "Mulatto" Law

... an 1822 Virginia law stated that to be defined as mulatto (meaning at that time, multi-racial or colored), a person had to have at least one-quarter (equivalent to one grandparent) African ancestry."
Subsequently, that same year and 4 years before Thomas Jefferson died, his two adult children by his quadroon slave Sally Hemings: his octoroon daughter Harriet Jefferson and son Beverly Frederick Jefferson, were allowed to leave without being legally freed, as reported by his younger son:
Madison Hemings later reported that both passed into white society and that neither their connection to Monticello nor their “African blood” was ever discovered.
I suspect that there is no coincidence between Thomas Jefferson's notoriety, the Virginia law being passed and the immediacy of the departure of Jefferson's not-yet-legally-defined mulatto children. The mixed race "problem" was beginning to make itself known by their abundance and prominence, and also in general there is a principle being evolved: White Supremacy Requires White Authentication.
However, with only a few generations since slavery had begun in the colonies, the offspring of miscegenation was effectively a third generation mulatto problem. Hence, overreach was to be deferred until later.

1910 Virginia "Quintroon" Law

Virginia's one-fourth standard remained in place until 1910, when the standard was changed to one sixteenth.
This law would legally define as mulattoes, Jefferson and Sally Hemings four octoroon children: Harriet, Beverly, Madison and Eston's and their quintroon children who became adults near the end of the 19th century (1900,) but not their grandchildren ... yet.
Pursuant to Reconstruction later in the 19th century, southern states acted to impose racial segregation by law and restrict the liberties of blacks, specifically passing laws to exclude them from politics and voting. From 1890 to 1908, all of the former Confederate states passed such laws, and most preserved disfranchisement until after passage of federal civil rights laws in the 1960s. At the South Carolina constitutional convention in 1895, an anti-miscegenation law and changes that would disfranchise blacks were proposed.
Apparently, the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the constitution were not enough!?
Actual laws had to be passed to give citizens on the United States the right to vote. Strangely, the ratification of the 19th Amendment by the states allowing women's suffrage required no other laws to be passed to be effective for white women, but that was not sufficient for the enfranchisement of women of African descent in the former-Confederacy slave states. White Supremacy at the Supreme Court is such a fine tradition.
First, racial identity laws became widespread:
This fractional, blood-borne approach would remain in some states until the twentieth century. At different times,
Alabama and Arkansas defined anyone with one drop of "Negro" blood as Black; Florida had a one-eighth rule; Georgia referred to ascertainable non-White blood; Indiana used a one-eighth rule; Kentucky relied on a combination of any appreciable admixture of Black ancestry and a one-sixteenth rule; Louisiana did not statutorily define Blackness [but] did adopt via its Supreme Court an "appreciable mixture of negro blood" standard; Maryland used a "person of negro descent to the third generation" test[;] Mississippi combined an appreciable amount of Negro blood and a one-eighth rule; Missouri used a one-eighth test, as did Nebraska, North Carolina, and North Dakota; Oklahoma referred to "all persons of African descent" adding that the "term 'white race' shall include all other persons"; Oregon promulgated a one-fourth rule; South Carolina had a one-eighth standard; Tennessee defined Blacks in terms of "mulattoes, mestizos, and their descendants, having any blood of the African race in their veins"; Texas used an "all persons of mixed blood descended from negro ancestry" standard; Utah law referred to mulattoes, quadroons, or octoroons; and Virginia defined Blacks as those in whom there was "ascertainable any Negro blood" with not more than one-sixteenth Native American ancestry.
Ian F. Haney Lopez, "White by Law: The Legal Construction of Race (1996)"
Note the subtle difference in the de-facto racial identity laws in Kentucky ("a combination of any appreciable admixture of Black ancestry and a one-sixteenth rule") and Louisiana (an "appreciable mixture of negro blood" standard): these small crevices in the identity laws in the non-de-jure states would become a magnet to the border regions of those states. The border regions are easier to flee, when laws are suddenly changed (see Melungeon... below)
Then, at the turn of the 20th century, there had to be a bulwark erected against human desire polluting the "purity of the blood" of the white stock. It might be too little, too late to forestall the extant multiple generations of mulattoes. However, it meant that colored children would pay the price and there would be legal regrets for any mixing of the races ... thus punishing the white parents for and by their relations: their children would lose basic American rights in certain states (a new form of slavery.)
Pursuant to Reconstruction later in the 19th century, southern states acted to impose racial segregation by law and restrict the liberties of blacks, specifically passing laws to exclude them from politics and voting. From 1890 to 1908, all of the former Confederate states passed such laws, and most preserved disfranchisement until after passage of federal civil rights laws in the 1960s. At the South Carolina constitutional convention in 1895, an anti-miscegenation law and changes that would disfranchise blacks were proposed. Delegates debated a proposal for a one-drop rule to include in these laws [which was not passed at that time.]

Virginia Racial Integrity Act of 1924

Where literate whites have a need for rationalization to further their exercise and retention of slave power, pseudoscience will always give them the intellectual crutch supporting their racist views and raising to a fever pitch, the necessity of action based on "reason".
The eugenicist Madison Grant of New York wrote in his book, The Passing of the Great Race (1916): "The cross between a white man and an Indian is an Indian; the cross between a white man and a Negro is a Negro; the cross between a white man and a Hindu is a Hindu; and the cross between any of the three European races and a Jew is a Jew." As noted above, Native American tribes which had patrilineal descent and inheritance, such as the Omaha, classified children of white men and Native American women as white.
[In an interesting aside, this Northern European purity view is inverted in Brazil, there any white background makes you white and only pure African background makes you black. So, this supremacist purity view is not universal in racial identity: citizens of Spain, Sicily and Malta possessing some Moorish descent are white.]
It is no accident that the Ku Klux Klan, federally banned during Reconstruction and put down in its immediate aftermath by the deployments of federal troops in the former slave states, would as Reconstruction waned, began to rise up again at the turn of the 20th century under dozens of different names and banners, as mixed-race progeny became more abundant and visible in the former slave states. As the Klan surged in the 1920s, action was demanded of the Virginia legislature: "there ought to be a law!"
In 1924, the Virginia General Assembly enacted the Racial Integrity Act. The act reinforced racial segregation by prohibiting interracial marriage and classifying as "white" a person "who has no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian". The act, an outgrowth of eugenicist and scientific racist propaganda, was pushed by Walter Plecker, a white supremacist and eugenicist who held the post of registrar of the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics.
The Racial Integrity Act required that all birth certificates and marriage certificates in Virginia to include the person's race as either "white" or "colored". The Act classified all non-whites, including Native Americans, as "colored". The act was part of a series of "racial integrity laws" enacted in Virginia to reinforce racial hierarchies and prohibit the mixing of races; other statutes included the Public Assemblages Act of 1926 (which required the racial segregation of all public meeting areas)
But that discrimination was not scary enough, you really wanted to make the mulattoes tremble in fear.

Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924

Persons of color had to be targeted:
In an 1893 "open letter" published in the Virginia Medical Monthly, Hunter Holmes McGuire, a Richmond physician and president of the American Medical Association, asked for "some scientific explanation of the sexual perversion in the Negro of the present day." McGuire's correspondent, Chicago physician G. Frank Lydston, replied that African-American men raped white women because of "[h]ereditary influences descending from the uncivilized ancestors of our Negroes." Lydston suggested as a solution to perform surgical castration, which "prevents the criminal from perpetuating his kind".
In 1924 the political will for that kind of legislation was finally prevalent in legislatures of the former slave states. However, to get around the 14th Amendment, it had to be written carefully to avoid identifying a special class racially in the text, and yet to still have the effect of being targeted racially in its application:
The Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924 was a U.S. state law in Virginia for the sterilization of institutionalized persons "afflicted with hereditary forms of insanity that are recurrent, idiocy, imbecility, feeble-mindedness or epilepsy”.
And to get this past any court challenge required a white test case, and that person was Carrie Buck:
Carrie became pregnant when she was 17, as a result of being raped by the nephew of her foster parents. To hide the act, on January 23, 1924, Carrie's foster parents committed the girl to the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded on the grounds of feeblemindedness, incorrigible behavior, and promiscuity. They did not tell the court the true cause of her pregnancy. On March 28, 1924, Buck gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Vivian. Since Carrie had been declared mentally incompetent to raise her child, her former foster parents adopted the baby.
On September 10, 1924, Albert Sidney Priddy, superintendent of the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded and a eugenicist, filed a petition with his board of directors to sterilize Carrie Buck, an 18-year-old patient. He claimed she had a mental age of 9. Priddy said that Buck represented a genetic threat to society. While the litigation was making its way through the court system, Priddy died and his successor, James Hendren Bell, came on the case. When the directors issued an order for the sterilization of Buck, her guardian appealed the case to the Circuit Court of Amherst County. It sustained the decision of the board. The case then moved to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, where it was upheld. It was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in Buck v. Bell, which upheld the order.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote the ruling. ...
Holmes concluded his argument with the phrase: "Three generations of imbeciles are enough".
I previously wrote about her abuse and tragedy at the hands of all levels of racist and misogynist government, here.
This 1927 decision provided the hammer, and the Virginia legislature brought that hammer down hard:
Jim Crow laws reached their greatest influence during the decades from 1910 to 1930. Among them were hypodescent laws, defining as black anyone with any black ancestry, or with a very small portion of black ancestry. Tennessee adopted such a "one-drop" statute in 1910, and Louisiana soon followed. Then Texas and Arkansas in 1911, Mississippi in 1917, North Carolina in 1923, Alabama and Georgia in 1927, and Virginia in 1930.

1930 Virginia One-Drop Rule

In 1930 [Virginia], even the one sixteenth standard was abandoned in favor of a more stringent standard. The act defined a person as legally "colored" (black) for classification and legal purposes if the individual had any African ancestry.
Now all those racist codes could be applied to the children who had passed for white and must now separate themselves permanently and hide far from home and their families under assumed identities to survive.
The one-drop rule was not made law until the early 20th century. This was decades after the Civil War, emancipation, and the Reconstruction era. It followed restoration of white supremacy in the South and the passage of Jim Crow racial segregation laws. In the 20th century, it was also associated with the rise of eugenics and ideas of racial purity. From the late 1870s on, white Democrats regained political power in the former Confederate states and passed racial segregation laws controlling public facilities, and laws and constitutions from 1890 to 1910 to achieve disfranchisement of most blacks. Many poor whites were also disfranchised in these years, by changes to voter registration rules that worked against them, such as literacy tests, longer residency requirements and poll taxes.

Melungeon Migrations And Plecker Versus A Liberal Court

The racially oppressive efforts of these local governments caused migrations away from the former slave locales and states. Although the racially more purely African descendants of former slaves could move North into the ghettos of the cities to provide cheap labor without raising the alarms of miscegenation, the mixed-race families who were evidence of miscegenation had to migrate to border regions of states having marginally less defining racial identity laws and thus were more remote, less populated and typically more seriously impoverished.
The Melungeons are a group of multiracial families of mostly European and African ancestry whose ancestors were free in colonial Virginia. They migrated to the frontier in Kentucky and Tennessee. Their descendants have been documented over the decades as having tended to marry persons classified as "white". Their descendants became assimilated into the majority culture from the 19th to the 20th centuries.
It is the actions of local officials in the former Confederate states, which by their furthest overreach, make it clear that the frenzied white supremacist hunts pursuing mixed race citizens back then (similar to the frenzied misogynists hunting women seeking medical care now) as a movement cannot be tolerated by the federal courts when the Constitution is actually read and honestly interpreted (that excludes the Roberts Court).
Through the 1940s, Walter Plecker of Virginia and Naomi Drake of Louisiana had an outsized influence. As the Registrar of Statistics, Plecker insisted on labeling mixed-race families of European-African ancestry as black. In 1924, Plecker wrote, "Two races as materially divergent as the White and Negro, in morals, mental powers, and cultural fitness, cannot live in close contact without injury to the higher." In the 1930s and 1940s, Plecker directed offices under his authority to change vital records and reclassify certain families as black (or colored) (without notifying them) after Virginia established a binary system under its Racial Integrity Act of 1924. He also classified people as black who had formerly self-identified as Indian. When the United States Supreme Court struck down Virginia's law prohibiting inter-racial marriage in Loving v. Virginia (1967), it also declared Plecker's Virginia Racial Integrity Act and the one-drop rule unconstitutional.
Certainly, the Earl Warren Court of 1967 was a very excellent Supreme Court in the English Liberal#History) tradition:
They [English Liberals] favoured social reform, personal liberty, reducing the powers of the Crown and the Church of England (many Liberals were Nonconformists)), avoidance of war and foreign alliances (which were bad for business) and above all free trade. For a century, free trade remained the one cause which could unite all Liberals.
Kind of like the Libertarians and Republicans of the 1980s.
However, in those days the Protestants and Republicans (who approved of abortion rights and freedom for women) had not yet been radicalized (by Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority and further by Robert Jeffress' First Baptist Dallas megachurch) and so the conservative Burger Court (Burger was appointed Chief Justice by Nixon) passed Roe v. Wade in 1973 by a 7-2 vote, including Chief Justice Warren Burger in affirmation.

We Moved to the West Coast In the Middle 1950s When I Was Little ...

... to the People's Republic of California, where liberalism gradually became the rule and not the exception. So I was not touched much by all this, although I remember being surprised that I could not drink at the water fountain reserved for colored people back in Virginia and Maryland, which discrimination is the earliest white person memory of my life. I could not understand the logic of it, and why a thirsty little kid couldn't just have some water without people getting upset.
I grew up, studied a lot of STEM, joined the NSA/SGI in 1970 at 19 as a hippie-flake student division member, ended up as an engineer, did lots of things in many places around the world that only the Gohonzon and Buddhism made possible, had a life, and grew old. I became interested in the mystery of where my father's father came from and finally decided to find out, joining 23andme.com and Ancestry.com/DNA as a Christmas present to myself late last year to compare the two.
Surprise, surprise! As you can see below, on my mother's side, I have a fifth great grandmother born in the 1700s (18th century) who was a 100% pure blooded Bantu African woman. (23andme.com screwed up the analysis due to a zygotic chromosome crossover event they didn't handle properly, Ancestry.com/DNA untangled that correctly.)
From 23andMe
From AncestryDNA
Since the only interracial sex in those days was "slave sex" (ignoring the Mandingo crap fiction) sex was only between European men and African women. That went on until my second great grandmother Mary, who apparently could pass for white as an octoroon (1/8th African) as she was (legally or illegally) married in the later 1830s to a Welsh farmer in Missouri (a de facto "one-drop" law state) well before emancipation in 1865. Mary was listed as being born in Kentucky ... where the Melungeons ended up, but no other details. My mulatto mother (1/64th African, described here for her musicality) was a spectacularly beautiful and brilliant woman, and very talented, and my father worshiped the ground she walked on his whole life. So that chain of women leading through her father's quintroon mother Sarah (my first great-grandmother,) must have really been something to behold.
Getting back to the purpose of my story, I was born a mulatto in Virginia more than a decade before the One-Drop Rule laws were declared unconstitutional and thus the declaration of myself as "white" on my birth certificate was legally fraudulent. It should have said "colored" or "mulatto", according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the early fifties. That means that unlike Obama's birth certificate, mine is an fraudulent document, or at least open to legal challenge by the white supremacy autocratic government that might be elected in November. Of course my opinions, big mouth and religious views put me in far greater jeopardy than a potentially fraudulent birth certificate.
Fortunately, my trust in the Gohonzon is absolute. I would be dead thousands of times over, were it not for the Gohonzon. I trust nothing, more than I trust "the Gohonzon, the supreme object of devotion in all of Jambudvīpa."
If we have to have a white supremacist autocracy and end democracy in the United States as the only path to Kosen Rufu, I welcome that challenge. Given a choice, however, I would retain democracy as an expedient means to Kosen Rufu, following Martin Luther King's rule "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." As Francis Bacon said in 1617: "Swift justice is the sweetest."

2024.04.30 08:36 Infinite_Split_9263 Dad-Lore: Growing up Cult-ish

For context, my kids ask me regularly about "Dad-Lore" where I tell them about my childhood and they stand there with mouths agape and ask "how are you so normal?"
I grew up in a cult.
Think of that wild evangelical friend/uncle/cousin. Got them in mind? This was crazier. Like a lot.
I grew up in (what I thought was) a perfectly normal white, suburban, Canadian, Christian family. We were fairly happy. It was me, my brother, sister, mom, and dad.
We went to church every week. Church was a fairly "high priority" in our life.
You know, like everyone goes to church. Once on Sunday morning (for 3-4 hours), once on Sunday evening (evening service is where Pastor Len gets into the real issues - another 2-3 hours).
Oh, and small group on Wednesday evening (25-30 of our closest friends singing along with an acoustic guitar and half a dozen tambourines - anywhere between 3-5 hours).
And then there's the "Intercessory prayer" meeting on Thursday (a group of mostly women gather together to pray for all of their friends and family - each kept a spiral notebook as a prayer journal to make sure that all of the specific details of the friends' needs can be brought before almighty God that He might do a MIGHTY WORK IN THIS SITUATION!!!!!) (this was usually 3 hours or so)
Pant. Pant. Pant.....
I may have gotten carried away there for a moment.
Apologies.
To continue. Friday night was Youth Group (where your parents would encourage you to spend as much time as possible with THESE FRIENDS - in the hopes that we might meet a nice Christian girl who is deeply aligned with Purity Culture) (Friday nights were 4-6 hours)
Saturday morning was usually volunteering to help - so as to be "servant leaders" in our community - to help point the way to Jesus. This could be helping a family in our small group as they move, or shoveling other peoples' driveways ( 3ish hours )
Saturday night was often a second youth group event. Sometimes, it would be a fun "party type" event. Occasionally, this would involve "outreach", where we might do any number of things to advance God's heavenly kingdom here on Earth. (anywhere from 3-8 hours)
We may:
These nights were considered some of the best youth events. We would sing and dance for hours. We would "pray in Tongues" at the top of our lungs. We waved flags with embroidered phrases like "Prince of Peace, Mighy God, Holy One".
In short, these were good nights because we felt like we could feel God right here among us.
This is where I get to call out something that I am particularly proud of: I have memorized the lines, blocking, and movement of every single character in Carmen's "The Champion". (for context, this is allegorical retelling of the Passion Story in the form of a boxing match. It features such characters as the old testament names Jeremiah, Enoch, and Job. Along with Hitler and Napoleon just to balance things out. This song is every bit as weird as it sounds and we would act this out in real-time with a ghetto-blaster belting this rock opera out in the background)
Then Sunday would start it all over again.
Now, not every week was like this. Sometimes, there might be an itinerant Apostle or Prophet in town. It would be the job of one family in our church congregation to host this individual at their home. It was considered an honour. And it wasn't super expensive, they usually only ate breakfast (and maybe a packed lunch) at your house.
In any case, if there was a prophet visiting, there would certainly be an additional evening or two where everyone could come to get a "word from the Lord".
This would involve getting up from your chair (in a revival tent style, there would be musicians playing on the stage to crank up or down the emotional tension as needed). You would then make your way to the front of the room - just in front of the stage. I say stage, I mean "platform raised 12 inches and covered in a thick carpet". You would face forward with your arms raised to about nipples height (think, carrying a flat screen and trying to raise it onto a counter. Take away the TV and you've got the position perfectly. If you want to be particularly demonstrative in your spirituality, you'd shift your hands out like it was a widescreen so that the whole congregation behind you could see your hands waiting to receive good things from God).
And then you would stand there.
Your hands held up in gentle supplication, your head bowed respectfully in patience. If the spirit moves you, you could quietly speak in tongues (it's your heavenly prayer language - a direct line of communication with the Holy Spirit - too bad you have no idea what's being said in either direction)
The prophet would eventually work his way down the line of penitents. He would place his hands on your shoulders, or gesticulate with them as if to punctuate the words and phrases of his glossolalia. Then he would pause.
He might say something like, "The Lord is looking at you child. He is waiting....... He waits for you."
Then he would pause.
His eyes, though shut, would squeeze tighter. His face would become pained (imagine a guitar soloist picking out a particularly high lick - that facial expression)
He, might then open his eyes and touch your face to look into yours. He would smile. He would say, "your heavenly father is so proud of you. While he hasn't told me the specifics, he wants me to tell you 'I'm here. With you. Tonight.' He has a plan for you. One to prosper you, and keep you in health. His eye seeks all across this land and his eye is on YOU. Let me pray for you"
Then, you would once more close your eyes. He would place his hand on your forehead (often with some scented "anointing oil" - this could be purchased in the shoppe in the lobby alongside more tracts). He would begin to speak loudly and with authority.
"I declare THIS DAY that God's hand of BLESSING be upon this child. I BIND all powers of darkness with regards to this child of God, and I LOOSE heaven's blessings upon him"
This would often wrap up with a "thank you JESUS" and a small push.
Now.
This was the point were people would be "slain in the spirit".
It was never really explained to me. It was kind of, just, part of what happened at church.
Presumably, when the PastoProphet/Healespeaker gave that small push, God's Holy Spirit would overwhelm you and you would collapse. Generally backwards. Generally, into the waiting arms of a couple of burly ushers who would the gently lay you on the ground. If you were wearing a skirt a small cotton sheet would be layed over your legs to preserve your modesty.
After several minutes of laying on the carpet (more than 2 less than 5), you would sit up, feeling the joy of the lord as your strength. You would stand up, thank the usher, and go sit in your seat once more.
This is a light taste of the weirdness I grew up in. I will say, for anyone concerned, I was never physically or sexually abused. I am also no longer in that world, though some of my family still is.
I have more and weirder stories, but I've been tapping on my tiny keyboard for way too long, so I'll wrap up my rambling summary of a relatively typical week growing up in a cult.

2024.04.23 02:16 X_the_Wolf My (18M) girlfriend's (18F) best friend (18F) is probably in love with her. How do we reject her without her trying to self-delete?

This is my very first reddit post so I'm sorry if it's weird. The people are also slightly oversimplified to make it shorter and keep everyone mostly anonymous so please keep that in mind. My girlfriend, I'll call her Berry, and I have been in a relationship since we were sophomores. We've made other people in and out of relationships jealous because of our commitment and love for each other. The reason we are the way that we are is because we came from very chaotic backgrounds, me having undiagnosed ocd, depression, and autism since 8, growing up in a ghetto where there could be a gang fight and no police would come, and an absolutely insane family with all types of mental issues with me being the healthiest one, and her coming from a very toxic and manipulative family minus a few and unfortunately growing with toxic friends, including this friend. This makes us very mellow, and we both have 100% faith in each other, I would even let her in a room with her celebrity crush (if she had one) and trust nothing to happen. There have been creeps on the internet that thought they were in a relationship with her, one threatening us after she saw that Berry was actually happy with me, so I made sure to train kickboxing and wrestling. I've learned enough to defend us, but I'm no master. We've both rejected people that have pursued us after we got into a relationship, me rejecting two girls after they saw my better physique and Berry rejecting a guy who was about a week too late, and now going to reject her best friend who we'll call Judy. This had cemented us as the untouchable couple that would go on to get married, as that was often what we said we'd do as we had both helped each other out of our insecurities, traumas, and depression. At the beginning of and before our relationship, Judy was taking a serious toll on Berry's mental health, constantly complaining to her and expecting Berry to soak it up like a sponge, but when Berry would go to Judy with her problems, Judy would ignore Berry and just talk about her problems. When I was with Judy at lunch to get to know her, she would try the same thing with me. Instead of listening and not saying anything back, I would listen and offer solutions, those of which she would try to skirt around, but ultimately failed as I am a very logic based person and would think of other ways to help. She would constantly go on about her sob story until I told her about mine, making her realize that I had a worse one. The way she denied my help and kept complaining to Berry anyway made me realize that she wasn't looking to help herself and instead looking to victimize herself, and I'm not interested in people like that being my friends. Judy left me alone, and I told Berry not to let her get you down as much, thinking that it was fine as long as she didn't get her down too much. Berry started confiding in me with her problems since I gave solutions and comfort rather than telling her to deal with it and other people have it worse. Judy was still there for Berry because everyone else left her, but Berry and one or two others. They continued in this limbo until our current senior year, where Berry tried to push Judy away. Judy didn't understand that Berry wanted nothing to do with her for a long while and was under the assumption that they were still friends. Now, the next part came out of nowhere for me and Berry, but it started when a YouTuber announced their retirement from YouTube. On the next day, Judy was sent to the hospital from school after telling her counselor that she wanted to self-delete. This was very sudden, because after about a decade of knowing Judy, she has never expressed an interest in said YouTuber. This wasn't the only reason that she wanted to self-delete, of course, but was a very bizarre one, especially because the more hurtful thing is that she came from neglectful parents who left her with her mentally abusive extended family, causing her to gain weight and be bullied by them further. After the hospital visit, her father started to care about her a bit more and helps every now and then. I talked with Berry before about getting cps involved, but she had already asked, and Judy said not to, so I didn't ask further. After the hospital incident, Berry was there to comfort Judy, and I supported her fully, not knowing how to support Judy myself. At this time, Judy texted Berry almost every day, and Berry had to convince Judy not to self-delete. Judy started to get better, and after a month, she was becoming better. She started bombarding Berry's phone with pictures of this YouTuber, voice messages, and random blurbs of letters to make sounds. Berry was a bit disturbed with the random sounds as they were strange, and so was I, but we figured she's mentally ill, so it checks out. She started hugging Berry out of nowhere, too, which I was also fine with as she was depressed and never had any problems with hugs. I started to become suspicious when Judy gave Berry a little brochure with random phrases they usually used, but one of the inside ones was just filled with the word gay written about 300 times. I asked Berry jokingly if Judy was projecting, and Berry said that Judy was bisexual I said, "oh," and got a little voice that smelled suspicion, but I ignored it. I ignored it until we went to the school play together and Judy had her arm around Berry like I usuall have it with an annoying smile, I held my tongue until one of my friends mentioned in a casual conversation the next week that Berry had been to the school play twice, assuming that I knew. Since our sophomore year, we had gone to the school play together when it was time, I have all the tickets from when we went to remind us when we get older. This hurt me deeply, and I let Berry know that, in which she said that she forgot to tell me about it since it was very out of nowhere and assured me that nothing happened, which I believed. She then asked if I was mad at her, but I was not, I was mad at Judy. A few weeks after that, Judy decided that her and Berry should prank me by walking out of the school together while laughing at me. They did this until I got mad, walked in front of them, and kicked open the front door of the school. I calmed down and told Berry that I was mad at Judy. The things that Judy has done so far over the course of a month are: keep bombarding Berry's phone (ok), taken Berry to the play just with each other (ticked off about that at first, but ok), guided Berry by the hand across the gymnasium (it was probably chaotic, ok) moved Berry by her hip (WHAT THE ACTUAL F?), tried to prank me by kissing Berry (our relationship would've been over as we both don't deal with cheaters and have agreed that kissing is cheating if it's not with family on the cheek, and Berry said no to that), tried to kiss Berry's hand twice (she didn't let her), complained that Berry and I are too close in the hallways and she thinks I'm clingy (you didn't care about this in the start of our relationship, we've been a year and a few months past setting boundaries, and why are you bothered about what we do if it's our relationship?), touched and brushed up against Berry's thighs with her hands multiple times (Berry assumed these were done in a playful spirit, cue more WHAT THE ACTUAL F?), accused one of my close friends of liking me and being too close with them (they're non-binary and I was helping them talk with their crush, I'm a straight cis-male) and moved Berry by her hip and arm just recently again (I'm about ready to fight this girl). During these encounters, Berry had told Judy if she went too far and made her uncomfortable, and at first, Berry denied Judy had any attraction towards her, but saying it all had let her realize that Judy is most probably infatuated with her. She has already tried to lightly bring it up, but Judy deflected and didn't let the topic stick. She has also kept disrespecting Berry's boundaries after each expression of discomfort. Berry's ready to tell Judy that she can't have her and that she's never been interested in her, but doesn't know how without Judy threatening to self-delete. We would like to know how to let Judy down easy without her making everything explode and blaming Berry and me.

2024.04.22 22:40 ZealousidealBagel47 My (18M) girlfriend's (18F) best friend (18F) is probably in love with her. How do we reject her without her trying to self-delete?

This is my very first reddit post so I'm sorry if it's weird. The people are also slightly oversimplified to make it shorter and keep everyone mostly anonymous so please keep that in mind. My girlfriend, I'll call her Berry, and I have been in a relationship since we were sophomores. We've made other people in and out of relationships jealous because of our commitment and love for each other. The reason we are the way that we are is because we came from very chaotic backgrounds, me having undiagnosed ocd, depression, and autism since 8, growing up in a ghetto where there could be a gang fight and no police would come, and an absolutely insane family with all types of mental issues with me being the healthiest one, and her coming from a very toxic and manipulative family minus a few and unfortunately growing with toxic friends, including this friend. This makes us very mellow, and we both have 100% faith in each other, I would even let her in a room with her celebrity crush (if she had one) and trust nothing to happen. There have been creeps on the internet that thought they were in a relationship with her, one threatening us after she saw that Berry was actually happy with me, so I made sure to train kickboxing and wrestling. I've learned enough to defend us, but I'm no master. We've both rejected people that have pursued us after we got into a relationship, me rejecting two girls after they saw my better physique and Berry rejecting a guy who was about a week too late, and now going to reject her best friend who we'll call Judy. This had cemented us as the untouchable couple that would go on to get married, as that was often what we said we'd do as we had both helped each other out of our insecurities, traumas, and depression. At the beginning of and before our relationship, Judy was taking a serious toll on Berry's mental health, constantly complaining to her and expecting Berry to soak it up like a sponge, but when Berry would go to Judy with her problems, Judy would ignore Berry and just talk about her problems. When I was with Judy at lunch to get to know her, she would try the same thing with me. Instead of listening and not saying anything back, I would listen and offer solutions, those of which she would try to skirt around, but ultimately failed as I am a very logic based person and would think of other ways to help. She would constantly go on about her sob story until I told her about mine, making her realize that I had a worse one. The way she denied my help and kept complaining to Berry anyway made me realize that she wasn't looking to help herself and instead looking to victimize herself, and I'm not interested in people like that being my friends. Judy left me alone, and I told Berry not to let her get you down as much, thinking that it was fine as long as she didn't get her down too much. Berry started confiding in me with her problems since I gave solutions and comfort rather than telling her to deal with it and other people have it worse. Judy was still there for Berry because everyone else left her, but Berry and one or two others. They continued in this limbo until our current senior year, where Berry tried to push Judy away. Judy didn't understand that Berry wanted nothing to do with her for a long while and was under the assumption that they were still friends. Now, the next part came out of nowhere for me and Berry, but it started when a YouTuber announced their retirement from YouTube. On the next day, Judy was sent to the hospital from school after telling her counselor that she wanted to self-delete. This was very sudden, because after about a decade of knowing Judy, she has never expressed an interest in said YouTuber. This wasn't the only reason that she wanted to self-delete, of course, but was a very bizarre one, especially because the more hurtful thing is that she came from neglectful parents who left her with her mentally abusive extended family, causing her to gain weight and be bullied by them further. After the hospital visit, her father started to care about her a bit more and helps every now and then. I talked with Berry before about getting cps involved, but she had already asked, and Judy said not to, so I didn't ask further. After the hospital incident, Berry was there to comfort Judy, and I supported her fully, not knowing how to support Judy myself. At this time, Judy texted Berry almost every day, and Berry had to convince Judy not to self-delete. Judy started to get better, and after a month, she was becoming better. She started bombarding Berry's phone with pictures of this YouTuber, voice messages, and random blurbs of letters to make sounds. Berry was a bit disturbed with the random sounds as they were strange, and so was I, but we figured she's mentally ill, so it checks out. She started hugging Berry out of nowhere, too, which I was also fine with as she was depressed and never had any problems with hugs. I started to become suspicious when Judy gave Berry a little brochure with random phrases they usually used, but one of the inside ones was just filled with the word gay written about 300 times. I asked Berry jokingly if Judy was projecting, and Berry said that Judy was bisexual I said, "oh," and got a little voice that smelled suspicion, but I ignored it. I ignored it until we went to the school play together and Judy had her arm around Berry like I usuall have it with an annoying smile, I held my tongue until one of my friends mentioned in a casual conversation the next week that Berry had been to the school play twice, assuming that I knew. Since our sophomore year, we had gone to the school play together when it was time, I have all the tickets from when we went to remind us when we get older. This hurt me deeply, and I let Berry know that, in which she said that she forgot to tell me about it since it was very out of nowhere and assured me that nothing happened, which I believed. She then asked if I was mad at her, but I was not, I was mad at Judy. A few weeks after that, Judy decided that her and Berry should prank me by walking out of the school together while laughing at me. They did this until I got mad, walked in front of them, and kicked open the front door of the school. I calmed down and told Berry that I was mad at Judy. The things that Judy has done so far over the course of a month are: keep bombarding Berry's phone (ok), taken Berry to the play just with each other (ticked off about that at first, but ok), guided Berry by the hand across the gymnasium (it was probably chaotic, ok) moved Berry by her hip (WHAT THE ACTUAL F?), tried to prank me by kissing Berry (our relationship would've been over as we both don't deal with cheaters and have agreed that kissing is cheating if it's not with family on the cheek, and Berry said no to that), tried to kiss Berry's hand twice (she didn't let her), complained that Berry and I are too close in the hallways and she thinks I'm clingy (you didn't care about this in the start of our relationship, we've been a year and a few months past setting boundaries, and why are you bothered about what we do if it's our relationship?), touched and brushed up against Berry's thighs with her hands multiple times (Berry assumed these were done in a playful spirit, cue more WHAT THE ACTUAL F?), accused one of my close friends of liking me and being too close with them (they're non-binary and I was helping them talk with their crush, I'm a straight cis-male) and moved Berry by her hip and arm just recently again (I'm about ready to fight this girl).

2024.04.21 13:11 NotAMasterpiece I (28f) am not close with my mom (56f) and It makes her mad but I don’t care. How do I have a friendly relationship with her as an adult? TLDR

Growing up my mom always used the phrase “I’m your mom not your friend.” And when I say used it I mean abused it. It was a go to line for everything. That being said I grew to not talk to her openly about things that bothered me or just trust her with my personal thoughts or feelings. Anytime I did it would backfire in the most hurtful or embarrassing ways.
Now that I’m older, she hates that I don’t keep her in the loop with everything or text her or call her all the time. In my defense, my life is plane and simple and I love it. So I generally don’t have much to share but she’s up to date on anything major.
We have some pretty traumatic history as well. She kicked me out right at 18 over something that I really need her support and comfort on and we haven’t been the same since. When she kicked me out, she got mad that I actually left. It was confusing and hurtful. I wanted to go to college and she didn’t support it. She showed up on move in day and was mad and mean the whole time. We have had lots of disagreements over time that have never really been resolved and she was always right and I was wrong. No apologies were ever attempted just pretending like it never happened. If I tried to talk it out she was immediately defensive or “I never said that”
Anyways, now that I’m older I really don’t feel comfortable sharing intimate details about my life with her or anyone really. And it bothers her. I occasionally get passive aggressive tests along the lines of “well you never tell me what’s going on in your life” sometimes I want to tell her it’s because she’s my mom and not my friend, like she told me so many times. But I’m sure she’d say she never said that. I don’t understand why parents get to use that line and then magically get to be your friend once you become an adult
I don’t know how to have any kind of conversation with her that she doesn’t immediately go on the defenses and start attacking.
How do you handle these types of relationships without going totally no contact?
Sometimes I feel guilty that we aren’t closer and then I remember why.
Any advise?
TLDR; growing up my mom was “my mom not my friend” now that I’m an adult she’s mad that I don’t treat her like my bff.
Update:
I’ve gotten a lot of good advice here and I appreciate it! A lot of what you said about keeping it breezy and light with her is typically what I try to do but it doesn’t seem to be enough for her, she wants all the details. We typically talk about cats. I can’t really talk about work with her because it’s confidential stuff.
Some additional info: My brother is currently no contact with her because he made a very reasonable request and she took it personally and went nuclear. Between calling him “ghetto”, telling him he needs to go to AA because he smokes weed occasionally, threatening to call CPS, and taking him to court. (He’s a really good dad btw) he decided to cut contact. She has emailed and texted him from random numbers saying “she never did/said that” even though it’s all in texts. She even showed up at his house and dropped something off and then told him it wasn’t her. It was on camera.
Every time I talk to her she complains or talks crap about anyone and everyone. Her family and the people she calls her friends and my brother. He told me she talks crap about me to him also. She talks about herself all the time.
Just things like that make it hard to have a conversation at all- it’s always just a negative vibe and it’s exhausting.
But I’ve seen some good suggestions I haven’t tried so I will do that!

2024.04.20 16:10 Ava166 40,000 DEATHS: DISSECTING TURKEY’S “BIG LIE” AGAINST KURDISTAN’S GUERRILLAS

By Dr. Thoreau Redcrow
On Apr 17, 2024
With oppressive military occupations, state accusations serve as confessions.
Since 1984, Kurdish guerrillas of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have been fighting an asymmetric resistance war against the Turkish military. Consequently, anyone who has ever read or watched Turkish state media (which at this point is the only press allowed to freely operate in the country) has undoubtedly come across the often-parroted line claiming that the PKK is “responsible” for the deaths of 40,000 people. Variations of this phrase appear at the end of all PKK-related news reports in Turkey, whether they are sycophantic screeds by Daily Sabah or Yeni Şafak, disinformation posing as press releases by Anadolu Agency, or slicky-produced video segments by TRT World. As a result, the robotic repetition of “PKK” and “40,000 deaths” begins to resemble a meditation mantra, where Ankara’s Presidential Palace stenographers seem to be trying to convince themselves of its accuracy more than anything else.
But because indoctrination is like a drug, where you need an increasingly stronger dose to gain the same intoxicating high, Turkey’s media often laces other incendiary elements to their obligatory phrasing on the PKK, such as “terror campaign”, “terrorist organization”, and suggesting that most of those 40,000 deaths were “women, children, and infants.” However, when you investigate the reality behind this number, such as where it came from, who it refers to, and who is culpable, you realize that the truth has been flipped upside down. At that point, it becomes clear that the “40,000” death figure attributed to the PKK—which is often inexplicably echoed by more reputable Western news sources—is a deliberately crafted falsehood, a manipulated and weaponized statistic for the purposes of justifying the continual mass murder of Kurds by the Turkish state. But, to add insult to injury, the victims are then accused of committing homicide in relation to their own deaths.
Peace First Requires Truth
Before the PKK even existed, the renowned Kurdish poet Cigerxwîn (1903-1984) explained the Kurd’s historical position in his 1973 work Who Am I?, authoring the lines:
“I am not blood thirsty, no, I adore peace. Noble were my ancestors, sincere are my leaders. We don’t ask for war but demand equality, but our enemies are the ones who betray and lie. Friendship I seek and offer my hands to all friendly nations. Long live Kurdistan; death to the oppressor!”
Such a desire for peace was still evident several decades later in the remarks of the PKK female commander Dilan, who joined the guerrillas after her brother was killed by Turkish security forces and told reporters in 2015: “I don’t like carrying or using a weapon, but do you think as a woman in the Middle East I could survive without one, under these circumstances? It’s a need, not something I relish.”
With regards to the “lies” Cigerxwîn wrote about, it should be noted that it is actually the PKK and their imprisoned leader Abdullah Öcalan who have called for a truth commission, while supposed democracy and US NATO ally Turkey have refused such a request. In their defense, Turkey’s trepidation is justified, as the formation of a truth commission would publicly reveal Ankara’s vast apparatus of death, which has been deployed against the Kurdish people. Any truth commission would unearth all the ways that the Turkish military, secret police, and death squads murdered thousands of Kurds while also burning down over 4,000 Kurdish villages throughout the 1990s. Likewise, all of a sudden, the violence by the PKK (including the excesses they have admitted to and expressed regret for) would be placed in its actual context and begin to look more like self-defense or desperate acts of survival against a depraved enemy with no limit to their cruelty.
This is why the Turkish press always starts or ends any article with the fictitious “PKK death total,” which is used as a qualifier to give the reader the impression that any war crimes by Turkey that are mentioned must have been justified. The obfuscation is not simply a domestic issue in Turkey however, nor a recent phenomenon, as the international Western press has been consistently derelict in their duties since at least the 1990s. Harold Pinter with PEN International described the situation in 1999, by observing how:
“Every time the name of Öcalan occurs in the British press it is accompanied by the figure ‘30,000 dead in the last 14 years.’ The implication is that Öcalan has brought about these deaths. The PKK has certainly killed, and has also committed atrocities, but the overwhelming number of these 30,000 deaths, not to mention widespread mutilation and rape, are the responsibility of the Turkish military.”
With respect to that often-cited number of ‘30,000 deaths’ in 1999—a number which a decade later was usually quoted by the press as 40,000—“the fact that most of the deaths were Kurds is not mentioned”, nor is the fact that the killer in the vast majority of those cases was Turkey, not the PKK.[1] While anti-Kurdish propaganda is to be expected within Turkey, it is acutely peculiar to see Western newspapers repeatedly open or close articles with some variation of the sentence, “The PKK terrorist organization has been fighting a war against Turkey since 1984, in a conflict that has killed 40,000 people,” without any explanation of exactly who is culpable for the vast majority of those deaths. Obviously, your average reader is left with the implicit impression that the ‘terrorists’ must have been the ones who killed most of those 40,000 people and not Turkey. However, with relation to the earlier figure of 30,000 for instance, the Turkish state admitted how they derived that figure and who exactly it was referring to when utilized.
The Birth of a Flexible Number
According to Turkish General Staff Colonel Bülent Dağsali, of the 30,000 at the time in 1999, only 5,238 of those deaths were military personnel considered to be killed by the PKK, a figure which Turkey broke down as: 3,256 conscripted soldiers, 243 officers, 221 noncommissioned officers, 1,115 village guards, and 157 policemen.[2] While it is true that Turkey has been accused of drastically undercounting their own casualties and exaggerating those of Kurdish guerrillas, even when using their own figures for arguments sake, only a total of around 1/6, or 5,000 members of the 30,000, were considered Turkish military victims of the PKK. Likewise, in 2005, Turkish President Süleyman Demirel asserted that from 1984–1999, 23,938 PKK had been killed by Turkish forces, in comparison to his estimate of 5,555 members of the Turkish security forces.[3] Again, based on Turkey’s own claims—whether true or not—the Turkish state was responsible for nearly 5 out of every 6 fatalities.
Although the PKK disputes these figures and says the Turkish casualties are much higher and theirs much lower, that makes little difference to my overall point, which is that when the PKK are mentioned, the impression is always given that they are responsible for killing the 40,000 themselves and not being the victims of 75–80% of that casualty count. Unfortunately, it is just another example of how reality is purposefully skewed to hide what is truly taking place. In the spirit of accuracy, the earlier mentioned sentence could also read something akin to: “The PKK have been fighting a guerrilla war against Turkish occupation since 1984, in a conflict where the state of Turkey claims responsibility for 83% of the reported deaths.”
A further issue calling the accuracy of the 40,000 number into question is the difference in reported PKK death totals by the Turkish Parliament and Gendarmerie (rural police). For example, in 1997, following two large-scale invasions into Southern Kurdistan (north Iraq), the Parliament reported that 3,419 PKK guerrillas were killed, while the gendarmerie said it was 8,234. I should mention one important caveat with relation to alleged PKK casualties: in 1995, Human Rights Watch reported that it was common practice for Turkish soldiers to kill Kurdish civilians and take pictures of their corpses with weapons they carried specifically for staging the events, so that murdered civilians could be displayed to the press as PKK “terrorists.” So, it is not even possible to determine how reliable their definition of “PKK” was. In situations where Turkey could not stage their ‘victories’, they may have just made them up, as during some large-scale operations they would claim unrealistic ratios of guerrillas killed per every soldier they lost. In response to the inflated numbers that Ankara reports on slain PKK, in January 2016, a human rights activist in Amed told the Crisis Group: “Our cities in the region would be flooded with corpses and we would constantly hold funerals if the number the state announces for PKK members killed was correct.”
Why Lying Requires a Good Memory
Nonetheless, with regards to the cumulative figure of all deaths, the scholar Noah Arjomand’s research on the issue outlines how the figure itself has jumped around over the years. For instance, in 1997, Turkish Prime Minister Süleyman Demirel claimed 37,000 people had been killed; in 2005, then Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan said the PKK had killed 40,000; in 2008, the chief of general staff said it was 44,042; while in 2013, a parliamentary commission report estimated the death toll at 35,576. A basic glance at those numbers shows that somehow, from 1997 to 2013, following sixteen years of armed conflict, the total number of deaths magically decreased by 1,424 people. A feat only surpassed by the ‘miracle’ that in the five years from 2008 to 2013, 8,466 people were apparently resurrected from the dead.
As Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute argues:
“Policymakers should take the 40,000 number with a grain of salt, though, for two reasons: First, it includes all victims of the PKK insurgency, including villagers and other civilians killed by the Turkish Army. Second, a survey of newspapers going back to the beginning of the insurgency suggest the Turks crafted the figure out of whole cloth.”
In a rundown of the various press figures given, Rubin shows how the number has shifted from 4,500 in August of 1992 (Toronto Star), to 15,000 in April 1995 (Associated Press), and to 17,500 in August 1995 (Irish Times). Then in 1998, the number suddenly jumped to 38,000 based on a statement by Turkish military official Erol Ozkasmak to a military exhibition where he claimed, “The PKK is coming to the end of the road.” The fact that twenty-six years later, the PKK is arguably larger and stronger than ever, tells you most of what you need to know about Mr. Ozkasmak’s credibility, but I digress.
Nevertheless, once that 38,000 figure was put into circulation, Agence France-Presse repeated it in an April 1998 article, allowing it to take on a life of its own. Curiously, the same article also quoted Aydin Arslan, the governor of the occupied Kurdish areas in Turkey, contradicting that figure by claiming that 9,100 people had been killed from 1984 to 1998. Still, only one month later, the German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur cited “official figures,” claiming the total was now 40,000 dead. But again, even a total number does not answer who the dead are or which side they were killed by? The reason that important detail was left out of the equation is because most of the victims were killed by Turkey.
More recently, research by the Crisis Group shows that from 2015 to March 2024, the death totals available in open sourcing amounted to 4,612 PKK, 1,479 Turkish state security forces, 622 civilians, and 226 with unknown affiliation, for a total of 6,939 people. However, even though Turkish state forces make up less than a quarter of the total and are responsible, by their own admission for killing the majority of that total, Turkey pins the entire nearly 7,000-person death count on the PKK. Though, curiously, they have not updated their mythical ‘40,000’ number from prior to 2015 to ‘47,000’ now in 2024, further showing the absurdity of utilizing this figure. Which is exactly why academics and media should not just be blindly regurgitating figures released by Turkey, metaphorically letting the serial killer assign blame for their own body count. Then again, that would be fitting, considering a 1992 report by Human Rights Watch found that:
“Instead of attempting to capture, question and indict people suspected of illegal activity, Turkish security forces killed suspects in house raids, thus acting as investigator, judge, jury and executioner.”
When Fighting Terrorism Only Requires a Mirror
“Kurds were being killed for fun. We blew up a little girl because she wouldn’t tell us the location of PKK fighters. We also saw a fourteen-year-old girl herding sheep, my commander ordered us to shoot her, we rejected. He picked up a gun and killed her. When I go to sleep, I can still hear the scream of the little Kurdish girl we blew up. She was begging us in Kurdish. We didn’t understand.” — Sirac Kilic, an ex-Turkish soldier who served in 1994 Since the 1970s, the European Court of Human Rights has condemned Turkey for thousands of human rights abuses against the Kurdish people. The judgments are related to systematic executions of Kurdish civilians, forced recruitment, torture, rape, forced displacements, thousands of destroyed villages, arbitrary arrests, and murdered or disappeared Kurdish journalists. As for the Turkish state, a crucial component to maintaining this collective sociopathology is the specious—though powerfully intoxicating—notion that the Turkish Army is merely killing “terrorists”, who must be destroyed because of the “terror” they inflict upon the population. However, since the PKK generally carried out their armed struggle while attempting to avoid civilian casualties against those they were trying to win support from, the Turkish state often carried out mass atrocities themselves, which they then falsely blamed the PKK for in order to justify their ‘terrorist’ designation. As Paul White explains in his work The PKK: Coming Down from the Mountains:
“The Turkish state itself, have consistently alleged that the PKK during those two decades [80s-90s] was guilty of perpetrating widespread atrocities against civilians, including liquidating entire villages. As the present author has shown, several of these acts were actually perpetrated by Turkish Special Forces. One well-known case is that of the massacre of 12 July 1993, in which at least twenty-six villagers (including fourteen children) were murdered at Giyadîn (Diyadin) village in Van province.”[4]
In the same year, Turkish special forces also burned alive Mehmet Ogut, his pregnant wife, and their seven children (ages 3-13) in the family’s home near Mûş. Following the mass murder, the state blamed the PKK and refused to investigate the case for seventeen years, until public pressure forced them to in 2014, resulting in thirteen of the perpetrators being convicted. Turkey’s behavior was similar a year later, during what became known as the Kuşkonar and Koçağılı massacre. In this war crime on March 26, 1994, Turkish F-16’s and helicopters bombed two Kurdish villages and murdered 38 civilians. Initially, Turkey blamed the PKK and disseminated pictures of the dead children in the press. However, once the truth was revealed, the European Court of Human Rights condemned Turkey to pay €2.3 million to the families of the victims.
The aforementioned Professor White further notes how “The Turkish state’s portrayal of the PKK as wantonly violent terrorists was facilitated by the rigid censorship of events in Kurdistan and the obliging attitude of most of the Turkish press.”[5] Likewise, security expert Gareth H. Jenkins at The Institute for Security and Development Policy explains how the Kurd’s claim that the Turkish Government was “recruiting Mafia hit men, running death squads and releasing convicted terrorists to conduct extra-judicial executions, now seemed to be an irrefutable reality.”[6] For his part, the academic Serdar Kaya cites the activities of the notorious Turkish death squad JİTEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence and Counter-terror Unit) as “allegedly responsible for thousands of extrajudicial executions and assassinations of PKK sympathizers and supporters.”[7]
Because it takes a large civilian body count if you are going to continually accuse a group of “terrorism” to justify your occupation, the Turkish state decided that in the absence of the PKK giving them one, they would not only create their own, but in an extreme act of audacity, blame the PKK for the Kurdish sympathizers they continuously assassinated. A member of the Human Rights Association in Amed described this practice in the mid-1990s, recalling how:
“Approximately 98% of the people killed by unidentified persons have served prison sentences [for Kurdish resistance] or were thought to be supporters of the PKK. We do not believe that the PKK has any reason to kill them. There is a ‘Hizbollah’ here, not like the one in Lebanon, but established by the state. We can show you some of the killers walking down the street in Diyarbakir (Amed) when they should be in jail. Just four days ago an accountant friend of mine was killed just seventy meters away from a police station.”[8]
As the following remarks show, there indeed were people committing terrifying acts in occupied Kurdish areas, such as Turkish commandoes massacring villagers, JİTEM hitmen operating with kill lists, and Islamist anti-guerrilla Hizbulkontra openly killing PKK supporters with Ankara’s blessing, but somehow all of these death totals were being added to the ever-flexible “40,000” figure and blamed on the Kurdish resistance.
An issue of Foreign Affairs from December 2000 addressed this by quoting former French ambassador to Turkey Eric Rouleau, who stated:
“According to the Ministry of Justice, in addition to the 35,000 people killed in military campaigns, 17,500 were assassinated between 1984, when the conflict began, and 1998. An additional 1,000 people were reportedly assassinated in the first nine months of 1999. According to the Turkish press, the authors of these crimes, none of whom have been arrested, belong to groups of mercenaries working either directly or indirectly for the security agencies.”
Turkey’s Goebbelsian Big Lie
Adolf Hitler coined the phrase “Big Lie” (große Lüge) in Mein Kampf (1925) to refer to a gross distortion of the truth as a means of political propaganda. His argument was that people were inclined to believe colossal lies because they find it hard to comprehend that someone would so brazenly distort the truth. Relatedly, American psychoanalyst Walter Charles Langer’s 1943 psychological profile of Adolf Hitler for the US Office of Strategic Services, described the Führer’s use of the Big Lie as follows:
“His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”
It is hard to read these words and not imagine the Turkish dictator Erdoğan’s obsessive scapegoating of the Kurds and frequent blaming of the PKK for all of his own government’s failures. And within that process, the repetitive Big Lie is the false claim that the PKK are responsible for 40,000 deaths. Moreover, there is an often-cited apocryphal quote attributed to Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels (though there is no record that he ever said it), which perfectly encapsulates the way that Turkey deploys its Big Lie regarding the PKK death count. It goes as follows:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” In Turkey, where Kurds are often arrested and given long prison sentences for “denigrating Turkishness,” which typically means accurately reporting on the crimes the state is committing or has committed throughout history, those words ring so prescient as to be prophetic.
It is worth mentioning that one reason why analogies involving Nazi Germany can be revelatory and instructive, is because they represent one of the few historical events where the majority of people can deploy moral clarity. For example, it is hard for most people to imagine a concept like “terrorism” being committed against the Nazis, as most people recognize their intended victims were justified in using any means necessary against such a monstrosity. Such lucidity, in particular with regards to the righteousness of resisting one’s extermination with violence, can be a helpful ingredient in producing the necessary cognitive dissonance one requires to realize that in the battle of “good versus evil,” their side may actually be the “bad guys.”
With that in mind, imagine for a second, that following the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto uprising against the Nazis, the Third Reich took the death totals of both sides from the month of fighting—the 56,000 killed or captured Jews sent to death camps by the Gestapo and the 300 German soldiers that the Jewish resistance estimates they killed in self-defense—and combined them into one number: 56,300. Now, continue on with this exercise and imagine that the Nazis then created a mandatory line that appeared in every Der Stürmer article stating: “In its 1-month terror uprising against the German Fatherland, the Jewish separatists listed as a terrorist organization by the Reichstag, have been responsible for the deaths of more than 56,300 people, including women, children, and infants.”
It is not hard to see that such an action would be such a blatant distortion of reality that the reader is almost embarrassed by its breathtaking shamelessness. But this is essentially what the Turkish state media continues to do every day with regards to the PKK. So, the next time you read a news source citing the “PKK death total” as if it has any basis in reality, do them a favor and send them a link to this article, so they might stop embarrassing themselves and those of us who know the real history.

No More Lies. My Grandfather Was a Nazi. Jonas Noreika (with commentary).
No More Lies. My Grandfather Was a Nazi.
In Lithuania, he was celebrated as a hero. But we can’t move on until we admit what he really did.
[The comments are in italics and square brackets, followed by BalticSSRs signature at the end. The rest belongs to Silvia Foti, unless otherwise specified. - BalticSSRs]
Silvia Foti’s grandfather Jonas Noreika. Family photograph.
By Silvia Foti
Ms. Foti is a journalist and the author of the forthcoming “The Nazi’s Granddaughter: How I Learned My Grandfather Was a War Criminal.”
When I was growing up in Chicago during the Cold War, my parents taught me to revere my Lithuanian heritage. We sang Lithuanian songs and recited Lithuanian poems; after Lithuanian school on Saturdays, I would eat Lithuanian-style potato pancakes.
My grandfather, Jonas Noreika, was a particularly important part of my family story: He was the mastermind of a 1945-1946 revolt against the Soviet Union, and was executed. A picture of him in his military uniform hung in our living room. Today, he is a hero not just in my family. He has streets, plaques and a school named after him. He was awarded the Cross of the Vytis, Lithuania’s highest posthumous honor.
On her deathbed in 2000, my mother asked me to take over writing a book about her father. I eagerly agreed. But as I sifted through the material, I came across a document with his signature from 1941 and everything changed. The story of my grandfather was much darker than I had known.
I learned that the man I had believed was a savior who did all he could to rescue Jews during World War II had, in reality, ordered all Jews in his region of Lithuania to be rounded up and sent to a ghetto where they were beaten, starved, tortured, raped and then murdered. More than 95 percent of Lithuania’s Jews died during World War II, many of them killed with the eager collaboration of their neighbors.
Suddenly, I no longer had any idea who my grandfather was, what Lithuania was, and how my own story fit in. How could I reconcile two realities? Was Jonas Noreika a monster who slaughtered thousands of Jews or a hero who fought to save his country from the Communists?
[Even "moderate" bourgeois nationalists use self-contradictory phrases like "save the country from the Communists" which sounds as stupid as "saving people from food", "saving people from a happy life" or "saving them from the defeat of nazism". The Soviet Union destroyed 85% of all nazi forces and played a key role in uncovering and investigating the Holocaust. The Socialist Revolution of 1940 transformed Lithuania from an agrarian fascist state into a highly-developed and industrialized country. But the nationalist nonsense about "saving the country from communism" is now state ideology in the Baltics. Credo quia absurdum. - BalticSSRs]
Those questions began a journey that led me to understand the power of the politics of memory and the importance of getting the recounting right, even at great personal cost. I concluded that my grandfather was a man of paradoxes, just as Lithuania — a country caught between the Nazi and Communist occupations during World War II, then trapped behind the Iron Curtain for the next 50 years — is full of contradictions.
[Again with the neo-nazi "double genocide" Holocaust denialism. So who's better? Those who perpetrated the Holocaust and served the German fascists? Or those who put an end to these atrocities and punished those responsible? Truly, a paradox. The nationalists, as usual, are too cowardly to deny the Holocaust and the Nuremberg Trials openly. So they hide behind this "double genocide" nonsense. And the Lithuanian people overthrew the fascist government of Smetona all by themselves in 1940, by declaring a general strike. So the Lithuanian people occupied themselves too? - BalticSSRs]
In this way, perhaps, Lithuania is like many other countries that spent 50 years under Soviet occupation. During this time, there was a deep freeze on the truth: Lithuanians were only allowed to talk about how many Soviet citizens were killed during World War II. References to Jewish victims were scrubbed away by the occupiers. I would like to think that if Lithuania had been a free and independent nation after World War II, it might have acknowledged its own role in the Holocaust.
[This is a damn lie. The Soviet Union has always acknowledged the systematic mass murder of the Soviet and European Jews by the fascist invaders AND the nationalist collaborators. Towns in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have Soviet memorial plaques in memory of the Jewish residents that were mass murdered. The Soviet people were united - the Slavs, the Jews, the Balts the Romas, the Greeks - all were subjected to the Holocaust. The hitlerites wanted to exterminate the SOVIET PEOPLE as a whole. Silvie Foti's demagogy vilifies the Soviet people by giving one targeted group mention, while omitting everyone else. And then she accuses the Soviet Union of doing what she just did in the article. The last sentence is a gem. "Free and independent" as Finland, for example, a known nazi ally and a Holocaust perpetrator? We know how West Germany "acknowledged" its role in the Holocaust - by sheltering high-ranking nazis and giving them cushy jobs. - Baltic SSRs]

[the West "acknowledging" its role in the Holocaust - BalticSSRs]
Correcting historical memory turned out to be dangerous. When I publicly questioned the official story of my grandfather’s life, I was vilified by the Lithuanian community in Chicago and in Lithuania. I was called an agent of President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Lithuanian leaders still believe their country’s identity depends on holding onto its heroes, even at the cost of the truth.
[The snake is eating its own tail. But Foti had it easy. Compare that to Rūta Vanagaitė who actually lives in Lithuania. She published detailed research on the Lithuanian nazi collaborators and their leading role in the Holocaust in Lithuania. Vanagaitė was immediately declared a "threat to national security". Her book (How Did It Happen?) was immediately withdrawn in Lithuania - now de facto banned - and she was forced to publicly "apologize" for her "misleading claims" to avoid prison. - BalticSSRs]
The twists and turns of Jonas Noreika’s short life made it easier to hide the bad by accentuating the good. And yet there was so much bad.
[If serving the nazis and murdering Lithuanian peasants and workers is "good", then we have to question Foti's definition of good and perhaps her sanity, as well. - BalticSSRs]
In 1933, as a young soldier in the Lithuanian Army, he wrote “Raise Your Head Lithuanian,” Lithuania’s equivalent of “Mein Kampf,” which incited hate toward Jews as a solution to Lithuania’s problems. In June 1941, he led an uprising against the Soviets, even as he was collaborating with the Nazis. In July, he ordered the murder of all of the 2,000 Jews in Plunge, the town from which he led the uprising. In August, the Germans welcomed him as the new district chief of the Siauliai region, and the same month he signed orders to send thousands of Jews to their eventual deaths. Under his watch, roughly 8,000 Jews were killed.
[Organizing fascist uprisings against the Soviet government IS helping the nazis. These nationalist groups never, ever fought against the nazis. Only the Soviet partisans did. Any Baltic anti-Soviet movement was affiliated with the nazis and/or recruited by the Abwehr - the nazi military intelligence. - BalticSSRs]
In the version of history that is now celebrated by Lithuanians, my grandfather and others like him were forced to sign those documents by the Germans. But when I dug deeper, I learned that becoming district chief brought him the best house in the region, about 1,000 reichsmarks each month and a job for my grandmother. That sounded to me more like temptation than coercion.
He did stand up to the Nazis, not by saving Jews but by trying to stymie recruitment for the SS. In March 1943, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp. He was released in January 1945, then conscripted by the Red Army. Later that year, he began organizing the revolt against the Soviets, who had turned from Lithuania’s liberators to its occupiers. The Soviets captured him the next March. He was executed in February 1947 at the age of 36.
[This is another big lie used by the Baltic fascists. They are trying to paint the nationalists sent to the concentration camps as "victims of nazism". That's exactly WHY they were sent there in the first place. Realizing that the war is being lost, the nazis formed organized groups of collaborator fronts cleverly disguised as "independent/democratic patriots". Sending them to a concentration camp was a legend to create a convincing sob story of a prisoner who "miraculously" "escaped". In reality, these Baltic and Ukrainian nationalists were known as "honorary inmates". They virtually didn't work, enjoyed full rations and even received allowances to buy additional food, cigarettes and fresh newspapers. The Stutthof and Sachsenhausen camps had many "honorary inmates" acting as nazi spies and "patriotic" fronts, like Stepan Bandera and Bruno Kalniņš. By the end of the war, the average survival rate of death camp inmates was 1-2 months at best. If Noreika had been an actual prisoner, he would have most likely died. His "stymieing the recruitment" is just a part of the same fairy tale. The nazis recruited 36,000 Lithuanian auxiliary troops. "Stymieing" alright. - BalticSSRs]
Transforming a Nazi collaborator into a national hero requires four steps of manipulation. One step shifts all the blame to the Nazis, even though my grandfather, like many Lithuanians, willingly participated in slaughtering Jews. The second step creates a victim narrative, asking how a Jew killer could be sent to a Nazi concentration camp. The third step discredits counternarratives by labeling them as Communist propaganda told by enemies of the state. The final step refuses to accept that two seemingly contradictory truths can coexist: Noreika bravely fought against the Communists and shamefully participated in killing Jews.
[That is correct, but not entirely. Foti doesn't ask the question WHY the Lithuanian nationalists are doing this. The answer is based on class. The German fascist invasion gave chance for the defeated Lithuanian bourgeoisie and landowners to reclaim their former property - the fields, the factories and resources - the means of production that they lost during the Socialist Revolution of 1940, which they did not anticipate. The Lithuanian nationalists, in a typical nationalist fashion, are willing to whore themselves out to the devil himself if it means reclaiming at least some of the private property. Even if it means being a German/British/American slave and selling the people of Lithuania for pennies. A nation is a bourgeois concept. It is the essence of bourgeois domination over the people, especially so during the age of imperialist capitalism - the final stage of capitalism - BalticSSRs]
After researching his life for the past 20 years, I’ve dared to call my grandfather a Nazi even though he never officially joined the party. He worked with the Nazis, acted like them, was paid by them, hated Jews like them and, like them, facilitated torture and murder.
Did Lithuanian officials actively hide the truth because it would make the country look bad? Or were they in genuine denial in a democracy too fragile to face its own history? Unfortunately, this isn’t just about my grandfather. He is a microcosm of the entire national story, and that national story echoes across Eastern Europe.
[Our previous note makes it obvious that this is deliberate. It is a lie. And it doesn't matter whether it's a fabrication or a "convenient" lie by omission. The fact that the Baltic governments have to rely on these damn lies just to exist shows the essence of bourgeois nationalist hegemony in the region - it is a continuation of the same capitalist class, the same imperialism. In a sense, it is a continuation of the German fascist project, under a different guise. - BalticSSRs].
The passage of time has created the space to speak about the truth, but also increased the urgency of doing so before remaining memories fade and another generation passes. Analysis of a dark past is always traumatic. But we will never achieve clarity and healing if we base our history on lies. Although later generations might not know the details, they will still experience the emotional pain passed down from parent to child to grandchild.
[Again, the Baltic nationalists "stretch" it out deliberately, so that the last living witnesses would die. Otherwise, they could seriously harm the nationalist myth-making. - BalticSSRs].
I have made my peace with my grandfather. I have vowed to reveal his crimes by giving witness to the truth, and I have vowed to try to correct Lithuania’s memory of the Holocaust, in part by asking for honors bestowed on him to be stripped. This can lead to reconciliation between Lithuanians and Jews as we remember what happened and learn from it to ensure it never happens again. Perhaps acknowledging this truth will allow Lithuanians to have a healthier national identity and a pride in our poetry, our language, our food — but not our dark past.
[The workers of the world are already reconciled by their shared class. We need not any nationalists who are trying to teach us "sympathy" for the oppressors and killers. It is obvious that two Lithuanias exist - Lithuania of the working man, where the people, regardless of their creed or nationality, can live and prosper in peace. Lithuania of Marytė Melnikaitė, Petras Cvirka and Antanas Sniečkus. That is the Socialist Lithuania. And the bourgeois Lithuania - the realm of terror, hatred and lies. "Lithuania" of Jonas Noreika and Adolfas Ramanauskas. The two can not ever reconcile. Because such "reconciliation" demands total surrender of the Working Lithuania to the bourgeois Lithuania. This means "reconciling" with a python that will eat you alive. That is the capitalist Lithuania of today. And it is obvious which Lithuania the honest working people should be proud of. Being proud of your revolutionary past, present and future. That is what acknowledging the truth really means! The article itself is a rather clumsy attempt by "moderate" nationalists to sit on two chairs - to demonize the Soviet Union AND to distance themselves from fascism - the latter is the logical continuation of a capitalist dictatorship. The petty bourgeoisie want to have their cake and eat it. - Baltic SSRs].

2024.04.07 18:13 Fair_Needleworker_22 Should I break up with my boyfriend

I 18f have been with my boyfriend 20m off and on for two years. The both times we separated happened because I decided to break off our relationship. The first time we broke up I left him because he'd use really vulgar phrases around me even though he was 19 and I was a minor. I expressed many times that I was uncomfortable with his way of speaking but he disregarded my complaint and continued to use his vulgar language, so I left him. We got back together after a while and I left him for a similar reason the second time. Since we've gotten back together I've realized that I just can't stand him anymore. Not only does he refuse to change the ghetto lifestyle that he was raised in but he's also so very lazy. I've been telling him for a while to go and work at a security firm as it would help him with his smoking problem and also keep him out if trouble. But he only refuses making up some lame excuses to try and forget the matter. He only wants to work at this construction gig with his friends that only comes once a month for about three days for two weeks. And then he just sits at home telling me that he's looking for a job. And whenever I try to tell him about his laziness he Just accuses me of bringing him down and tells me that everything takes time. My friends and family are trying to convince me to break up with him but I know from our school days together, that deep down he's a nice guy. So should I breakup with my boyfriend?

2024.04.04 15:04 kitchenwitch16 "Snowflake Generation" - Amateur writer attempting short story. Any critique much appreciated! Thanks!

She sends him the snow from her bedroom window. Shallower in phone screen filter blue, lightly pixelated, delivered. They were nothing more than a flutter, not particularly impressive but sweet all the same. She punctuates the image, not with words but a handful of little yellow faces, offering clear indication of her feelings, an economy of data.

It must’ve been several inches deep by now. Out there. She could look. Why bother? The clouds had burst earlier this morning, letting rip with a gust of freakish freeze, little enough to document. She’d rushed to grab a handful of insurance photos at first sight, saving it for the threat of a moment when there was nothing else that felt worth talking about. She had sent a fresh one, seventh attempt. The forecasts told her it wouldn’t have reached him yet.

She waits for reply, soundtracked by a puncture of harmless pings, too clumsy and emotional to form a melody. Messages to her phone were constant. Always. Everyone had a place, a rank, somewhere in the list, advantages, behaviours, projections, shapes to take. She scrolls down. Waiting. There were the regulars of course, the routine friends she’d tolerated persistent communication with for years now, interactions ever wordless, announcing themselves with snapshots of faces from only the eyes up, familiar pets, tidy arrangements of everyday activities, slightly staged but mostly real, dispatched en-masse, cool. Waiting. There were the friends in high places she didn’t really care for, club promoters, dealers, moderate influencers, could get someone killed for you in seven different countries and all that, velociraptor smiles. Waiting. Swarms of unopened messages from the ones who breached contact far less frequently, but usually with something to say, or seek; another name to the guest-list, donations for the charity race they’d enlisted in, reformed, resurrected, reborn or desperate bids to show off all the diet masochism, worthless, accomplished in pursuit of photos they had one day hoped to show their kids. Waiting. Further down, old school friends, transformed, those a little too old to still be doing nothing, the people who didn’t go home with other people, apparently. Cousins she wished she was closer with. Household siblings she knew better through the videos with which they chose to populate the internet. The boy who’d died in the car crash. Her mother. Waiting. Some yellow notifications landed as welcome as dead canaries. These were the names to which a mere glance of would’ve formally inspired fear, loathing, soft pain. Ex-whatever. Numbness was their new home, less than nothing at all, barely meriting a blush through their digital ghettos, no check ins, looming, unanswered, other people as a relapse of your old self. She couldn’t open any of them, no matter where they fell in the bottomless scroll. She wouldn’t jinx it.

In and out of patience at the absence of immediate reply she forwarded her snowscape to a further seven, a landscape dumped, feeling even more disappointed when none of whom she had hoped would respond did. She left the pair who had bothered to do so unanswered in return, having become someone who people didn’t really know or see all that much anymore but still worried about regardless. In that sense, she was in control.

Tossing the phone across the bed, light frustration, exhaling, feeling the urge to reach for it, and in this repetitive cycle of same, glaring up to window yet again. Restless. Flakes flailing, supposedly unique but from this vantage point so similar that she was doubtful to whether there was any point to them falling at all. It was like capturing a portrait of a city over one hundred years, a timelapse set to a day per second, bird’s eye view, focusing on the little figures, as real as toys, zipping back and forth along the grid. They were always in a rush, always doing the same things they always had; walking, working, fucking, saying everything, saying nothing, together, apart, alone, finding themselves, losing it all, heartbreak, again, again, again, laughing about it afterwards, fighting, healing, loving, but all the time seeming completely inseparable from one and other in their little lives oh so similar. Generationless, their differences washed away in the blur. Death reduced to but a seemingly imaginary force, invisible, anyone slipping out of frame, unseen, replaced without pause by another who would lead a completely identical life before it all happened to them too. Each was burdened with the consciousness of an individual when they were so clearly a piece of a collective, living as one. It didn’t have to be this way but it was. No harm.

A day prior she had awoken beside him, for the first time, in his sheets, devoid of urgency, tall gentle stranger, soft body, still dormant, curled in embryonic pose, twitching through sleep as if he were broken, yet at peace. Naked and uncomplicated. Snoring. Still.
Parts of them were still touching, flesh colours collide, joy on joy. She was unaccustomed to his smell. She wanted to get closer to it, to be held by it, to know it but to nuzzle was to collide, to disturb, to crack the full perfect image she was doing her best to prolong. She could have fainted but she yawned. In the early stages of the afternoon, as her family and friends undoubtedly sat down to their cartoon Sunday roasts, gravy and all the trimmings, she rose, beaming, donned in the t-shirt of a hip-hop group who had long since disbanded, forgotten, and looking down to him, she froze, poised with all the well rehearsed sweetness of the girl next door. You can miss someone when they’re right in front of you. Their connection, even if it had lasted but a fragile nine minutes, was now concrete, fixed in their past, unchangeable, together. Shared and ahead, an unknown number of minutes reaching forwards. Wet with potential, endless with possibility, stem cell specialised, magic, real. This could be the first turn on a path to something that resembled happiness, togetherness. Fuck. It was her own personal delusion, we are all entitled to one and as far as they go, hers should be mostly harmless.

Darts of light, skinny enough to make it through cracks in the curtains, exploded all around the room in a rush, touching everything, like little boy gaining entry to a forbidden part of the home, uncovering oversized things until now hidden. She could see objects had fallen to the floor. Reflected in the mirror opposite, rearview, overturned as easily as warning signs not correctly bolted in place, neither of them finding the time to return them, having been focused solely on making their way into his boyhood bed before the room swam even weirder. You could trace their trajectory via the debris. Criss cross. Tumbling. His was a living space populated solely by discount catalogue decorations, modest flatscreen, celebrity self-help books, an inherited acoustic guitar, seldom played, everything limp, as if furnished by a blind man wishing only to reduce trip hazards, riskless, straitjacket, mute. She wouldn’t let it bother her.

Reflecting on the night before, she ran over all the things she wishes she could have said differently or not said at all, constantly blurting out exactly what she meant when it’d keep things far cleaner and simple if her lips had remained sealed. There were no cops in her head, she was not self policing like other people and words forever stumbling through, escaping her, as if propelled by hormonal thrust, well meaning, true, but knowing only how to break things. Futile. Life as quest to become unafraid of living. Like the last building burning. Does a hopeless person get a resolution?

She knew her self. Once boys were caught in her gaze, she could inflict blinks like bruises. You could feel them wince. Sometimes she did it to those she had no intentions with at all, the men of coma patient politeness, plain clothes agents who wanted the same thing as everyone else, even if they attempted to talk their way around it, the nice guy, the modern man, not like all the old dogs. He, who if given the opportunity could attempt only to operate her body like a piece of heavy machinery. She would lay there in a private fate, lonely, hidden, alive and waiting for the end. She always thought of death during bad sex. Frequently. After all, the space between orgasm and infinite void was tricky to fill. They were the kind of boys who’d believe anything you’d tell them and she could make up stories of a thousand lives never lived. In nights previous she’d studied neuroscience, English lit, mechanical engineering, air traffic control and alligators. She’d read all the books. She’d written questions for daytime quiz show hosts, been the heir to a moderately successful warlord, family friend, and worked for the Ministry of Defence, blowing up worms, as a means of testing new top secret chemical warfare, not to be discussed further, shhhhhh. She was born with four colour receptors, raised speaking flemish but had forgotten it all by now, whoops, and was once assaulted by baboon, a fight in which, of course, she’d won. So many to choose from. Pointless but there in lay the fun, a game of evasion, undetected, never suspecting, a bullshit artist of epic proportions, gold medal records, top seed, everyone’s a winner.

As a teenager of early internet relationships, the game had higher stakes, just like all else in youth. Then she had told lies. Right at the offset, throwing down a bed of mistruths, as forward as first message, staged suicide attempts, pantomime villains, choreographed flights of same sex frivolousness, nothing more than landmines, primed and ready. Deadpan. Months later, as she inevitably saw it all approaching conclusion, it always would, she could pull one random fib lose, bear witness as the comprehension that nothing had ever meant anything to her splintered across brain, shattering face, and all she had to do was step back, letting the blood pool as they left her for the last time, up the driveway, without fuss, disappeared. Those days were behind her. Far far away. Now, fabrication had been honed into no more than playful distraction, disciplined, never serious, nothing more than a misspent evening on the hunt, wasted, victimless. Like they hadn’t suffered before. What doesn’t kill you…

But with him she’d almost been honest. She didn’t know why. He wasn’t particularly good looking, a touch feral if anything, a handful of rough features, close knit, recovering, messy as if assembled in haste. Perhaps he was a victim of the national inbreeding epidemic a thousand years prior. Easy done. But then there were eyes, eyes of a different blue, ricocheting, surreal, eyes that hushed everything, eyes that lived outside of their own head, not attractive necessarily, but catching her, off guard, like the slush you slip and slide through post winter’s storm, eyes that gave the feeling they were somehow yet to see the face from which they were beaming, eyes of boyish unconcern allowing him to shed the rest of himself, careless. He was misdirection. Never had she been so taken by such uninteresting mysterious skin. Heat seeking. Like an arsonist. All the best boys bypass rational thought. She was no longer affected by the long term, the futures often discussed on nights like these, irrelevant, the plots hatched, the promises of great lives we made to ourselves that would be procrastinated away, never kept. Groups were senseless clots of social terror. They left. They stayed. Once she’d had enough fun, she cared only of where they would be in one hour.

It was a sixty minute saunter, spent in his company, this charming doll, where she pulled a string and he spat out one of the same six expertly programmed phrases. Rehearsed. We all have our little stories. He had such a perfectly recycled collection of quips and anecdotes, stuff to relate to, pruned from his own personal history, well oiled, road tested, reliable enough to toss aside whenever in the company of a new compatriot, never the fear of social rejection, safe, danger only of smiles all the time as number thirty seven falls victim when he tells you once again of how he believed “lettuce was the collective name for a group of icebergs”. Funny. Try again. Stupidity, delivered with such god-like self esteem that it was hard not to let it wander all over your skin until it found the spot in which to dig itself for a later date, like a tick, biding. She knew. She didn’t care. He made her laugh. There was a spark. There was something. They vibrate. The distinct sense of a person, somewhere beneath the seventeen different personalities a man fires through upon first encounter, like chimps flinging fluids at walls, trying to figure out which version of himself will stick. He paid in cash. Impressive notes. He held the door open. Heroic. He was a child. Young again. Naive enough to view life as an equal opponent, ambitious, relentless, but when he brought her back, he was kind, he was sweet, he was calm, cliched but okay, and it was with the breed of acceptable chivalry which can be induced only through drunkenness, on both sides, that they felt together. Maybe he was wrong for her, but he was hers.

Now, in the fear of day, emotions oscillated even more haphazardly. She tiptoed around his room to the bathroom, en suite, cool, safe from any extended family altercations, phew. If she showered it would be real. You couldn’t shower in their home and not see them again. She studied herself in the mirror, meticulous, all imperfections unhidden, the last details; stretch marks from a past life of yoyo weight gains, face losing it’s decoration, hair without spray, feet, freckle bordering on mole below left shoulder, tanning booth enhanced, ultraviolet. With one false eyelash already missing, folding index and thumb into delicate pincer, she prised the other free, careful, edging her face another half inch closer to symmetrical, better. She flushed the accessory away, thinking of all that had been done in the last sixteen hours, every tiny decision, how it would reverberate, the choices already made, creating who he thought she was, so far, like years of early adulthood stress organically materialising down the line in physical form as tumour, locked to brain, ready to execute an entirely different person, one who was utterly powerless to have done anything to stop it. It kills to be so unsatisfied.

She practiced smiling. She rehearsed the first things she would say to him. She spoke her new last name. In the end, we are all the same. Blank slates. Everybody dreams of pretty girls and ugly boys and good food and good sex and people we can fix, floating warm but not without a lack of direction, waiting for us until we finish, until we’re ready, dreaming of dead relatives, and moving to bigger cities and bigger titties and cats and dogs and a life by the fire and then, eventually, a life that is anything better than throwing a bag of cats and dogs onto that warm fire, collecting pea sized bites of happiness from an existence of small mediocrity, that just five years ago would’ve made you sick. We dream of things changing quickly and we dream of them ending quickly, painless. We dream privately, we dream of being a person, a better one, we all do and most of the time it’s just as well we can’t remember because we tell ourselves that dreams can be phased into reality, day by day, month by month, year by year, like little girls assuming the faces of their mothers, but they can’t. That’s why they’re called dreams. Duh. She was back in his bed, watching the wall, bugging out, fearful of relapsing into sleep, eyes wide. Batshit.

She let him awake naturally, without fuss, shrugging off the awkwardness, obviously in her head and her head only, self-conceived, dressing in full view as he tried not to look, soft hand retrieving stale underwear, knotted beneath bedsheets. Then, lingering in the doorway, striking a pose mimicking the memories of sitcoms from childhood, idyllic. We imitate. He rose, perfect blonde bedhead, baby blues and generous, she waited, for him to assume his character, go full method, dive headfirst into kiss but as they parted it was with a hug, not soft nor hard, not really anything, leaving her to descend his stairs, feet barely touching the floor, trying desperately to massage this momentary setback into an altered version of the narrative she had been constructing for herself over the last hour.

Outside, bright surface streets of roaring ugliness, rushed up to meet her like all her bad habits at once, all the cannibal pavements, lobotomy headache, stuttering with people who walked faster here as if they had somewhere more important to be, something worth doing. Dilated. It wasn’t like this where the bus would take her, the towns and villages, untouched, yet to be disturbed by the money, the crude, the oil raping of a once peaceful city.

The next departure wasn’t due for a while, Sunday timetable, heavens opening, edgeless grey clouds, a spray of light afternoon drizzle coming to rest upon her impact day hair. She should have showered. Her face of the night before was mildly smeared, still hiding most of the things which form underneath. Lock and key.

Watching the passing strangers speaking in tongues, the young mothers and the wives and the widows and those without anyone at all, sailing by. She pictured herself at their point in life. Soon. She thought of them with fuller lips and better teeth, white and new looking, and the same age but younger, hair actually styled, appearance with thought, pasting the version of herself she fantasied working toward atop them. She had so many faces left in her back pocket.

Back again, two days later, in her own room, creating more mental lists of responses as she waited for every potential reply. She imagined them taking turns lying atop one and other. Stood by window. Snow falling heavier, it would’ve made a better picture. She knew what he would say.
She bore an obsession for the boys who wished only to die like cowboys. Last action heroes. They were the men she always loved, those she was pulled to, in the same way she was drawn to bad news; burning skyscrapers, sleeper cell terrorist attacks, the perverse beauty of a car crash captured in 120 frames, slowed down, sped up, reversed, undone, repeated over and over, for as long as you wanted, unreal, broadcast worldwide, like an oasis, everywhere. The spectacle. The good stuff. She enjoyed the boys’ simplicity, no untidiness of complicated emotions, juggled like fire. To her, their’s was a world of absolutes. In it she was a visiting German tourist complete with rucksack, camper van and a foreign language they couldn’t speak and would never bother to learn. Her own consciousness was but a swell of unproven elements, all psychiatric in nature, highly reactive, so far nameless, but requiring precise allocation to the shelves of her chest, shelves neatly labelled; fear, shame and anger, inflamed stomach tightening, slimming, attuning to the added weight, unbalanced still but holding. She took pride in her strength. Flesh beneath skin and presumably, if she dug deep enough, bone. At least it would all be over before anyone had time to notice. This was what she told herself. Some things will never be different.

***

He closed the door, exhausting, two hours of pretend eyes, closed, waiting for her to leave, followed by a weak mimic of faux hungoverness. He would finish it later if needed. He would be nice. He was just glad she hadn’t tried to touch him better. He really hoped she wasn’t pregnant. Condoms were only 98% accurate. The TV taught him that. He would have laughed.

2024.03.27 05:12 burnerr1712 Is the word "ghetto" okay to say?

My girlfriend has lately taken to describing things as "ghetto". For example, we hung a sheet over our bedroom doorframe because we rent and can't put doggy doors up, and she immediately said it was ghetto. She mostly uses it as a synonym for "trashy", "low quality", "shitty", etc.
For context, we're both white, from low class childhoods, and living low income/class adulthoods. We both lived in the country however and it's not a common turn of phrase where we're from, she just kinda picked it up one day.
I know the history of the word, and yeah, fact is, some people are just from the ghetto, but it really seems to stand out from her typical vocabulary. And I also know it can be used as a racist term. Is it okay for her to say that?

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. - John 8:32
 
This text was originally intended as a follow-up to “My Message to All” and is not necessarily intended to be read first. If you are unfamiliar with this topic, please consume any or all of the following media first (in the following order): Welcome Video, My Story, Educational Essay on Satanic Ritual Abuses, Is Jordan still telling the Truth? and Update 2024: Tell The Truth
This essay is divided into three parts:
  1. My Predictions
  2. The New World Order / The Antichrist
  3. Disclaimer
In the first part, I’m gonna delve into the predictions which I’ve made in “My Message To All” and explain their long overdue reasoning. The second part is the one most important to me, the one which I want you to read. In the third part, I’m gonna make some necessary clarifications with regards to my sources.
I have suffered from OCD for about 10 years, plus a wide range of other disorders which could potentially speak for a personality disorder. This has made me both hyper-vigilant as well as hyper-reflective. I’m highly intra- and interpersonally intelligent, score exceptionally high in agreeableness-trait compassion (> 96 out of 100), as well as exceptionally low in politeness (< 0). I’ve watched a ton of Jordan Peterson videos, read a book on OCD and gathered bits and pieces of knowledge on psychology throughout the years. I’ve been my own therapist for the past 10 years, and I know through experiences which I’ve had both in real life, as well as on Reddit, that I can outperform many therapists both in terms of deductions, as well as the ability to help.
Having had some experience with the underworld, I’ve had my share of experiences with highly narcissistic, machiavellian or psychopathic people, this mind control system, the deceitful strategies by Luciferians, as well as the disinformation tactics by the IC. The following deductions are based primarily on pattern recognition and intuition. I can try to provide as much rationale as I can make myself conscious of, but ultimately, they won’t tell the whole story. I can’t vouch for these with 100% certainty.
 
My Predictions
Outsourced due to character restriction
 
The New World Order
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. - David Rockefeller, “Memoirs of David Rockefeller” p.405
When you hide one eye, you effectively block half of your vision. In symbolic terms, you become half-blind to the truth. By hiding one eye, celebrities symbolically “sacrifice” a vital part of their being for temporary material gain. And, since eyes are the “windows to the soul”, this gesture symbolizes the partial or total loss of one’s soul. – The Vigilant Citizen
What is he referring to? (The beginning alludes to Pizzagate, the symbols are symbols of pedophilia)
 
I would like to start this essay by referring to the hexagram. In occultism, it’s an ancient magical symbol used in rituals and in practical terms stands for “As above, so below” (One triangle pointing upwards, another downwards), an important dictum which’ll be outlined more broadly, shortly. Fiona Barnett, one of the main sources for this essay, asserts that it represents the Goddess “Astarte”, who she calls “the goddess of child prostitution”. Little about that can be found, however, she’s certainly the goddess for love and war, sacred prostitutions have been made in her name, and like the goddess Ishtar, she could be interpreted as the female equivalent to Lucifer, both standing for the planet Venus, the morning star.
The bible seems to have condemned the hexagram. There is a verse each in the old, as well as the new testament, which say:
 
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.Amos 5:26
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.Acts 7:43
 
In my eyes, the probability is high that either one of those alluded to the hexagram. That is because the symbol obviously represents the number 666: Six points, six triangles, six sides comprising the hexagon. Although one may argue that any geometrical shape could theoretically be assigned any number through any arbitrary means, I’ll happily argue that you won’t find a two-dimensional symbol which could possibly represent the number 666, as well as the hexagram.
The number 666 is condemned in the bible:
 
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.Revelation 13:18
 
So, this hexagram, which arguably represents the number 666, was possibly mentioned in the Bible alongside Moloch (god of child sacrifice), stands for Astarte according to Fiona Barnett, for “As above, so below” in occultism and was used to stamp out Jews during the Nazi Holocaust…
… what the hell is it doing on the Israeli flag?
You might say: “Well that’s easy. It’s the star of David,” however, as you’ll find with a little bit of research, it doesn’t actually have anything to do with King David, though some may ridiculously claim that it was the shape of his shield, or for whatever reason a representation of such. The best explanation that I could find is the following, and it doesn’t make matters better considering that it perfectly reflects the coded practices of the occult:
 
In Hebrew, it’s referred to as David’s shield, not Star of David.
In any case, David in Hebrew is actually written as D-V-D, the letters Daleth Vav Daleth, or דוד. The letter “Vav” in Hebrew - ו - the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads (including Phoenician, Hebrew and modern Arabic), is used from ancient times as a grammatical conjunction, meaning 'and'. So basically, if spelled out loud, one can pronounce the name “David” in Hebrew as “Daleth” and “Daleth” (Or in Hebrew “Daleth Ve Daleth”).
Now the original way to write Daleth in ancient Paleo-Hebrew, is pretty much identical to the Phoenician form, which is a triangle. Attach two triangles together, and you got yourself a hexagram, which is the geometric shape that describes the Shield of David / Star of David. - Quora
 
Even if one was to believe, that such a coded reinterpretation of the letters, is not emblematic for the true origins of it, it is still in my opinion, a bit of a stretch. A far better explanation lies right in front of our eyes. The term “shield” can also be found in the family name “Rothschild” (German for “Red Shield”), who’ve been of primary importance for creating the state of Israel, and are according to my main sources, the head of the Illuminati. According to Wikipedia, that “shield” is actually Yiddish and stands for “coat”, as in “coat of arms”. A hexagram can also be found on the Rothschild coat-of-arms, and just like the British coat-of-arms (to which the link will be mentioned shortly), it features a lion and a horse, the primary symbols for the goddess Astarte.
According to my sources, the Rothschilds, just like the rest of the Illuminati, are Luciferians. “Lucifer” means “The Light-bringer” (while “illuminate” means “enlighten”). Lucifer in Christian mythology, is synonymous with Satan. However, what differentiates Luciferianism from, and makes it more sophisticated than satanism, is its dualistic nature. The Vigilant Citizen writes:
 
“The Devil—Lucifer—is a force for good (where I define ‘good’ simply as that which I value, not wanting to imply any universal validity or necessity to the orientation). ‘Lucifer’ means ‘light-bringer’ and this should begin to clue us in to his symbolic importance. The story is that God threw Lucifer out of Heaven because Lucifer had started to question God and was spreading dissension among the angels. We must remember that this story is told from the point of view of the Godists (if I may coin a term) and not from that of the Luciferians (I will use this term to distinguish us from the official Satanists with whom I have fundamental differences). The truth may just as easily be that Lucifer resigned from heaven.” - Max More
Modern Luciferianism takes its roots from Gnostic teachings as well as ancient Egyptian and Babylonian paganism. God of the material world is seen as a stubborn and sadistic figure who seeks to keep mankind into perpetual darkness while Lucifer is the savior of humanity by giving it the gift of knowledge. If we reinterpret the Adam and Eve story through Luciferian glasses, the serpent is actually the “undercover savior” who defied God and gave humans the opportunity to become gods themselves. He is credited to have unleashed man’s awesome potential.
“Luciferianism represents a radical revaluation of humanity’s ageless adversary: Satan. It is the ultimate inversion of good and evil. The formula for this inversion is reflected by the narrative paradigm of the Gnostic Hypostasis myth. As opposed to the original Biblical version, the Gnostic account represents a “revaluation of the Hebraic story of the first man’s temptation, the desire of mere men to ‘be as gods’ by partaking of the tree of the ‘knowledge of good and evil'” - Raschke Luciferians seek during their lifetime to reach a higher level of being by obtaining illumination (often represented by a torch). An illuminated person or (Illuminatus) has gained enough mystic knowledge and spiritual attainment to reach a god-like status. Ancient Mystery religion promises the:
“opportunity to erase the curse of mortality by direct encounter with the patron deity, or in many instances by actually undergoing an apotheosis, a transfiguration of human into divine“. -Raschke 26
Luciferians do not necessarily worship “the Devil” as a metaphysical entity. Lucifer symbolizes the cognitive powers of man, its potential to reach godliness by its own means. Luciferians believe that those attributes will eventually dethrone God and bring humans to their rightful place, as deities. This doctrine is fully embodied by humanism and its technological counterpart transhumanism. Clothed in an acceptable phrasing inside a Judeo-Christian context (“humanist” sounds less threatening and evil than “Luciferian”), these philosophies are now part of popular culture. Through technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs, extremely wealthy figures like Ray Kurzweil are publicly seeking to reach technological immortality. Transhumanist intellectual Max More has stated in his essay:
“God, being the well-documented sadist that he is, no doubt wanted to keep Lucifer around so that he could punish him and try to get him back under his (God’s) power. Probably what really happened was that Lucifer came to hate God’s kingdom, his sadism, his demand for slavish conformity and obedience, his psychotic rage at any display of independent thinking and behavior. Lucifer realized that he could never fully think for himself and could certainly not act on his independent thinking so long as he was under God’s control. Therefore he left Heaven, that terrible spiritual-State ruled by the cosmic sadist Jehovah, and was accompanied by some of the angels who had had enough courage to question God’s authority and his value-perspective.
Lucifer is the embodiment of reason, of intelligence, of critical thought. He stands against the dogma of God and all other dogmas. He stands for the exploration of new ideas and new perspectives in the pursuit of truth.” - Max More
 
I have previously mentioned that Luciferianism is extremely similar to communism, which I found interesting for two different reasons: One, both of my main sources state (implicitly or explicitly) that The New World Order is a “Nazi-Communist” ideology, and especially Fiona Barnett went in-depth about the links between Luciferianism, Communism, Naziism, transhumanism and eugenics. Secondly, it’s written all over the internet and in one of my sources that the Rothschild’s original surname was in fact, “Bauer” (“Farmer” or “Peasant” in German). The oldest source that I could find, is this (1887). The Rothschild’s website originally simply stated that Jews were not compelled to have surnames during that time. And here’s the parallel to communism which I found so intriguing - it seems too cinematic to be true: Jewish peasants who’ve been oppressed in the Frankfurt Ghetto swear revenge on mankind and to become Gods. But I suppose this ideology had to originate somewhere.
That Illuminati have been white supremacists (and eugenicists) becomes apparent just by looking at them. That they invent something such as DEI on top of that only encapsulates their cynicism. Naziism is inherently tied to the origins of modern Monarch Mind Control, which’ll be explained shortly. “But aren’t the Rothschilds Jews themselves?” you might ask, and the answer is: Actually - no, not quite. Fiona Barnett writes:
 
“Ronald Bernard said the financial hierarchy he worked for originated in Holland. The Dope Inc. (1978) authors agree. The British Crown employed the Hofjuden (‘Court Jews’) to financially manage their drug operation. (…) The Rothschilds are Hofjuden. The close ties between the London-based Hofjuden families and the British oligarchy trace back to the founding of the Bank of England, and before that to an alliance with the pirates who financed post-Renaissance Genoa in North-West Italy. (…) The three Jewish authors of Dope Inc. (1978) asserted the Hofjuden are not true Jews. (…) The Rothschilds flooded Palestine with people whose Jewishness is determined via the maternal line. This contradicts the Torah which clearly says the male bloodline establishes Jewish heritage. (…) Research indicates the Ashkenazi maternal line is mainly European, while the male line is predominantly middle eastern.
 
Wikipedia states, that:
 
As a proportion of the world Jewish population, Ashkenazim were estimated to be 3% in the 11th century, rising to 92% in 1930 near the population's peak. (…) Israeli demographer and statistician Sergio D. Pergola implied that Ashkenazim comprised 65%–70% of Jews worldwide in 2000, while other estimates suggest more than 75%. As of 2013, the population was estimated to be between 10 million and 11.2 million.
 
Another author (who I won’t name, as I suspect him to be a Disinfo Agent) says:
 
These people knowingly lie to the world with their claims that the land of Israel is theirs by birthright, when in actual fact their real homeland is over 800 miles away in Georgia. So, next time you hear an Israeli Prime Minister bleating about the so- called persecution of the Jews, consider this, every Prime Minister of Israel has been an Ashkenazi Jew. Therefore when all these Prime Ministers have curried favour with the West for their re-establishment of a Jewish homeland, they have knowingly and deliberately lied to you, as they were never from that region, and they well know it, because it is they who call themselves Ashkenazi Jews.
 
Personally, I think they’re entitled to live there. They’re simply not entitled to their systemic racism.
I have been mentioning Monarch Mind Control a lot recently, and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should read my other essay first, for a proper introduction. I’ve been reading into Fritz Springmeier & Cisco Wheeler’s “The Illuminati Formula to create an Undetectable Total Mind Control Slave” recently, and it’s the saddest and most horrifically violent thing I’ve ever read.
It is important to understand when reading the books, that whenever they talk about demons and demonic forces, the proper lens through which to look at it (like with any religious matter) is spiritual, meaning patterns of being. Fritz Springmeier himself writes:
 
Many will scoff at the concept of demons being layered in, but whatever name one wants to call these forces, they are being layered in, and exert a powerful force behind the programming. (…) The entire phenomena will be gone into great detail and explained in rational terms in the course of this book.
 
Here is a compilation of the most memorable passages to me, so far:
 
The Illuminati Formula To Create An Undetectable Total Mind Control Slave - Passage Compilation
 
I know I’m not the only one to whom the Watergate Scandal never made sense (see also: Mere 10 search results (assuming we see the same)). I assume, I’m neither the only one to whom the alleged backstory of “The Cranberries - Zombie” never seemed congruent? Well, watch and listen again, keeping in mind what I wrote here. Do the same also with “Britney Spears – Hit Me Baby One More Time”, keeping in mind that she’s a Monarch Slave (see a similar glitch also with Katy Perry). There are many more such examples throughout the Music and Film industry, and if you keep an eye out, you’ll find them. Lots of them.
It was only after I read the passages above that it all finally made sense to me. The hate. The loathing. The condescension. The mockery.
It’s revenge. They have been betrayed by God – many of them in the form of pretend plays - but also in the sense that, God seemed to have turned a blind eye to their suffering. There’s criticism in it which is borderline legitimate. If we weren’t so weak, if we hadn’t allowed ourselves to get blackmailed, bribed and exploited, if we weren’t so ignorant and naïve, we could’ve seen through it, we could’ve prevented it.
Though of course, it’s them who’ve been perpetuating the secrecy and deceit. Understandable. Reputation aside, the Luciferian Elite has more everything than everyone: Power, money, sex. The way to the top has evidently been to play the most deceitful and vicious game that anyone could’ve possibly imagined. If it was only stable, sustainable, or would actually make for a life worth living. If it only wouldn’t cause so much suffering.
If I were them, I’d hate people too. Although probably most because I’d hate myself.
No one believes in lies as much as Luciferians. They might still want to make the ultimate traitor out of me, but that is literally impossible. Because there are no greater traitors than them: Whether it’s politicians betraying their populace or fathers betraying their children. But instead of owning up to it, they create a culture where it’s forcibly accepted - except if it’s against “the group”, i.e, anyone above yourself in the hierarchy - the as-per-usual egoistic pragmaticism.
Ever since contending with the system, I’ve had the feeling that every way in which it acts is purely pragmatic. There are no morals, there are no rules, everything serves it’s desired ends. And I came to understand that the same is true for Luciferianism: For example, their use of symbolism. It doesn’t matter what exactly their original meaning, it doesn’t matter if this sign stands for “ILU (I Love You)” in ASL or for the "Devil's Horns", if the pentagram is upside-down or encircled right-side-up, what matters is that that which is intended to be communicated is successfully communicated to the intended recipients. Along the same lines, the cinematography employed by the system and the rituals conducted by Luciferians serve practical purposes: So long as their intended effects of entrancement and tyranny are fulfilled, they function as effective methods of control within and outside the coven.
In short, what happens at festivals such as these are illusions. The puppet masters aren’t nearly as infatuated with the ceremony as one might believe - their „magic“ is in making everyone believe that there was something demonic going on - regardless of the actual truth of the matter. While „demonic“ is still the term best describing the event, the mind uneducated of these matters makes supernatural associations without understanding their rational explanations.
By extension, Monarch Mind Control is the ultimate objectification of human beings. People are treated like computers, which fits the cold materialism within transhumanism, which stands in juxtaposition to the hot ecstasy in satanism. And like anything high-contrast, it momentarily gives you the thrill of your life. But you also destroy your life for the sake of the moment.
And now, Luciferians want to enslave the rest of humanity, just as they’ve been enslaved their whole lives. To flip the table and become God instead. For them to be free and for the rest to be slaves. To turn everything upside down.
 
Over thousands of years of history, the Western world wrapped a dream-like fantasy about the nature of evil around its central religious core. That fantasy had a protagonist, an adversarial personality, absolutely dedicated to the corruption of Being. Milton took it upon himself to organize, dramatize and articulate the essence of this collective dream, and gave it life, in the figure of Satan—Lucifer, the “light bearer.” He writes of Lucifer’s primal temptation, and its immediate consequences:
“He trusted to have equaled the most High, if he opposed; and with ambitious aim Against the Throne and Monarchy of God Raised impious War in Heaven and Battel proud With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power Hurled headlong flaming from the Ethereal Sky With hideous ruin and combustion down To bottomless perdition, there to dwell In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire…”
Lucifer, in Milton’s eyes—the spirit of reason—was the most wondrous angel brought forth from the void by God. This can be read psychologically. Reason is something alive. It lives in all of us. It’s older than any of us. It’s best understood as a personality, not a faculty. It has its aims, and its temptations, and its weaknesses. It flies higher and sees farther than any other spirit. But reason falls in love with itself, and worse. It falls in love with its own productions. It elevates them, and worships them as absolutes. Lucifer is, therefore, the spirit of totalitarianism. He is flung from Heaven into Hell because such elevation, such rebellion against the Highest and Incomprehensible, inevitably produces Hell. – JP
 
Several of my sources mention how the New World Order is to arise as a consequence of a World War (which we’re undoubtedly already in) - like a phoenix out of Its ashes. This had me puzzled for a while. Why would they want to destroy the world, first? But then I figured: It’s an attrition tactic. The actual process is supposed to be slow, elegant – you don’t want people to rebel of course. You want them to stay complacent. You want them to be wound down, not knowing what hits them, and out of the terror, out of the despair, out of the abuse, you want them to become brainwashed and confused, conditioned step by step like a Pavlovian dog, trauma-bond with the Antichrist and look towards him as their savior, pathetic on their own. The end-product is a completely subservient human race, victims of their own ignorance and lack of spirit – seeing light in the darkness while walking astray.
As the final outcome, the human race will die – as victims of their own productive, spiritual and moral insufficiencies, they will be wiped out by any number of great filters: Climate change, an asteroid strike, AI takeover, you name it – we will have failed as a species, if not due to the tacit acceptance in turning a blind eye towards the monarch mind control, on its own. People have become so accustomed to the happy life that they forgot how to give their life for something. I never forgot how Fidel Castro asserted that MTV was an apparatus to brainwash the youth – Now I don’t doubt it anymore.
While some religious people will work hard, Luciferians will laugh and continue to prostitute, rape and torture children in the underground. You think you can impede that just by setting a good example? Think again. Their production through breeders, is cheap. The money you rake in by prostituting them, is high. More money equals again, more power. And the power you gain by compromising the elite is extraordinary. Through their systemic rape and torture you can create human robots entirely subservient to your will – ready to take on any job which any normal human being with a conscience is unwilling to. In the world of power politics, child abuse is everything. It’s the entirely rational thing to do.
If it only wouldn’t be so degenerate.
Luciferians have spent hundreds of years and millions of tortured children, and what have they achieved? An utterly corrupt world not even close to its true potential, and a parasitic mind control system which shall be mankind’s demise, if we cannot speak about it. Jordan spent ten years telling the truth and has changed the world more than anyone else in the last thousands of years – for the better. Lending millions of people meaning and orientation in their lives, while everyone’s been walking astray for the past hundreds of years. People coming up to him every 10 minutes and telling him how he’s saved their lives? That’s power. But child trafficking, child abuse and Monarch Mind Control will inevitably continue without being addressed and confronted directly – without being stopped.
It goes without saying that there needs to be put an end to this. Trusting them is a mistake. It’s only something you’d do if you were weak and unwilling to risk the same pain that they’ve gone through.
I know that our values are transcendent and carved out by the pursuit of truth. This isn’t supposed to be comprehensive, but: Evil is deceit, betrayal, the creation or infliction of undue or unnecessary suffering, i.e. “the ends justify the means”, or for other selfish reasons. Jordan said several times that, it is comparatively difficult to make a case for the existence of good, but I don’t think the answer is that complicated. Here is a value map that I drew on my whiteboard, intuitively, five years ago (ignore the obvious bads and my schedule on the left): https://imgur.com/a/6hd8BH7. All of these values are simply good. Excesses aside, you can’t argue with those.
These values are transcendent because everyone around the globe can coexist peacefully with them, without undue suffering, in an iterative, long-term game. And I’m not making a case for my values specifically, those I simply derived from my unconscious. I’m making a case for the notion that there is such a thing as transcended values and ethics, which will be found out individually and collectively by people deciding that truth is their highest conscious value (while God - by definition that, which inhabits the top of everyone’s actual, unconscious value hierarchy, is best not over-defined – limitless and thus impossible to frame (further ideas relating to God, I have explained here).
Monarch Slaves are put under a spell. They’re possessed by the Luciferian spirit. They’re born into it – can’t break out of it.
And I don’t care.
If the natural course of history without anyone taking action, is the continual emergence of the New World Order, I couldn’t give less of a fuck. If being silent means the continual “production” of MK slaves, I want to have no part in it.
As I mentioned here, I am no advocate for eliminating them (if otherwise possible), not even for prosecuting them. They need therapy. Should a world order with free speech arise, the system can hopefully help with that. But I’m not gonna trust them one bit until then. I conceptualize our situation similar to a war - It’s do or die, kill or be killed. Only that in our case, it’s metaphorical, while for the enemy, it’s literal. I can’t spare any niceties if I know that it gets exploited. At the current state of things, Luciferians and the system will forever try to gain your trust, only to prey on you, once they have it - like sexual predators.
Sometimes I wonder, if any Luciferian should get prosecuted at all. If possible, I would like to avoid it, but that’s probably unrealistic. At least, whenever I see anyone advocating for the Illuminati, I still hate it. And I tend to feel a particular hate towards those who haven’t been victims of Monarch Mind Control themselves, but have been perpetrating and perpetuating it as a science in the CIA’s basements. But I also know that, playing this game of finding any one party to hate is dumb. I know that at the very least, everyone has been a victim of their own ignorance. If I hadn’t discovered Jordan, I wouldn’t be remotely as committed to truth and integrity as I am today. So, I can’t blame anyone for choosing the path which seemed to make most sense to them, given the options which seemed to be available.
Similarly, I’m going to continue treating all multiples, largely as single entities. I’ve had my fair share of experience dealing with psychotic people, and through those and through my experience at the psychiatry (watching how the nurses treated the patients), I came to the unwavering conclusion that if you don’t treat them like they’re normal, you lose your own sanity. I am under no illusion that I can fix them, and I’ve gotten to know Luciferians enough to know that if you submit to them instead, you’re gonna get exploited (Basically, they intend to use some alters as human shields against my words (if one was to buy into it) - and I’m not gonna give a fuck. That doesn’t mean that I’ll suspend all nuance).
Any Monarch Slave who truly thinks or feels otherwise should sacrifice themselves telling the truth. I’m not acting any differently.
 
The Antichrist
As I mentioned in the beginning, a while ago, I became more and more convinced that RFK JR is the Antichrist. That is, until I got a hold of this list (the last chapter): http://whale.to/b/sp/app1.html
While he certainly remains a false savior and while the first few points apply to him in a fairly obvious manner, the rest of the list would clearly, potentially, fit Jordan like a glove. Jordan was even born in 1962.
But I’m not convinced. At all. To me, the chance is like 50/50. I’m saying that because I know you (to some extent) and you’d create such hints, only to have them be somewhat universally applicable to anyone who’s a leader, eloquent and understands the true depth and meaning behind religious myths, including obviously, the bible.
That Jordan has been in the know since a while, is easily verifiable through this short excerpt from the third-oldest video from his YouTube channel (see also: NWO mentioned at WEF). The thumbnails and titles of those videos are coded. Thinking back, 10 years ago was also probably around the time that the system first manifested itself in my life – I suspect, even 2 years before that, at the start of all my mental disorders. But certainly, at latest, around 8 years before now, where when listening to “Love on a real Train” for the first time, I felt an intense feeling of love like never before or after, not even on drugs. Thinking back, the system must’ve triggered or co-triggered some of my neuroses like OCD, make me interested in DID, get saved by Jordan, and “train” me for this situation.
The true answer is that it’s a No-Win situation. He might’ve been the Antichrist, he might’ve not been. But me trusting him or not trusting him, it doesn’t matter. Because he would become the Antichrist either way.

2024.03.15 03:53 Penguiye (MF) The Beauty

CHAPTER ONE - THE BEAUTY OF CATS
My bathtub is overflowing. The water's seeping into the
little cracks in between the black and white tiles. How have
I let this happen to the tiles? They don't deserve it.
But I'm more important than the tiles, so who cares?
Insecurity and arrogance, apathy and concern are in a
constant battle in my mind. All sides have dug trenches,
waiting for the others to give out.
What a life.
Could be worse. My lovely cat's staring at me from the
corner of the bathroom. I always wonder what he's thinking.
I doubt cats judge us as much as we think they do. They have
their own insecurities as well. I know because I was a cat
once. At least I think I was. Who can really be sure? In any
case, I appreciate it's company. And it must really be an
outcast to need mine.
I bought a baguette for my dinner and decided to take it in
the bath. A surge of sudden madness must've come over me.
Now I've got no dinner.
How sad.
The disintegrated pieces float around me. Like ghetto rubber
duckies.
I'm so desperately hungry, I wanna take a bite. Do I do it?
I can't resist.
I immediately spit it out.
My cat's still staring at me. But now with a somehow even
more judgmental expression. I'm having trouble convincing
myself it's all in my head this time.
But back to the overflowing bathtub. I must do something
about it. I surely can't let this insanity continue. But I
feel bullied by the never ending flow of water coming from
the tap. It's urging me to just let it be, exist in it's own
right, give it food and boarding, know what it's like to be
cared for. I'm sorry tap, you beautiful tap, but it can't
be.
I'm working up the courage to turn it off. Any second now
and I'll be free. I'm more important than the tap's
feelings. That makes two things I've declared myself more
important than. I may be getting a little big for my
britches at this rate.
But there, I've done it. I've turned it off.
I keep my hand on the faucet handle and feel my fingers
around the little rivets, cleaning off the dirt.
CHAPTER TWO - THE BEAUTY OF SANDY STOOPS
I've been thinking of having fun recently. I'm not quite
sure how to go about it. I don't want to have too much fun,
I'm only one man. But then again, not enough fun and I'll
have wasted my precious time.
I have an idea, I think I'll make a friend named George.
Surely there must be a plethora of deserted Georges out
there, just waiting for someone to take them under their
wing.
I could even start my own store for Georges who are
hopelessly in need of companions.
But now I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'm walking out my door, I'm actually doing it. There's a
wonderful array of indescribable smells and colors. Even the
concrete looks especially amiable today.
I can either turn right or left. I always turn left. My
life's full of bullies, first the tap, now the direction
left. Just as I've stood up to the tap, I'm turning right,
defying the beckoning of Ms Left. I think I'll take a nice
walk in the park.
Christ almighty, I've already gone 500 yards. How
exhilarating. But wait.
Now I remember why I never go right.
Speaking of bullies, here's a girl who always sits on her
apartment building's stoop. Threatening to hurt herself if
people don't hang out with her. I suppose she's quite a sad
girl, if she has to do that.
What a bitch.
She's calling out to me. Waving her hand towards herself.
What shall I do? Allow myself to be manipulated, to be guilt
tripped? Maybe so.
Although if I actually do end up saving her, we'd
unfortunately have to be "friends". I wanted friendship with
a man named George, not her. I'd settle for a Terry at this
point, or maybe even a Don.
If only I were a fast runner, I could get out of ear shot of
her voice before she could start.
I'm allowing my concern to gain a few feet of no man's land.
I've been practicing my fake smile in the mirror during my
free time. There we go, I think I'm acing it.
What am I being asked? Ah. Just complimenting my new tie and
insulting my stubble. I always wear a tie these days over my
t-shirt. I saw it in a cartoon once. Or maybe it was a
dream.
What else does she want? My company, it seems. Perhaps I'll
lend it for a while.
Yeah yeah, the weather's fine and all that. Not too humid?
Actually, it's a bit muggy for my liking, but I'll keep that
to myself.
Maybe if I turn the conversation uncomfortably deep it'll
scare her away. I'm asking why her self esteem is so low,
and if it has anything to do with her father.
Oh no. Great, now she's sobbing in my arms and letting it
all out. God.
There there, it's alright.
Can't be seen with a crying girl, it'll give people the
wrong idea. What that idea could be, even I don't know. I
say "even" as if I know everything. Which in a way, I do, if
you think about it. Or rather if you don't think very hard
about it at all.
I suggest to her we go to the park to get some green in our
eyes.
CHAPTER THREE - THE BEAUTY OF GRAVEL
We're sitting on the grass, beside a gravel path. I
frequently treat myself by rolling around in the gravel when
no one else is around. The way it scrapes and massages you
like a psychotic masseuse has always amused me. The smell is
also somewhat therapeutic, nothing can replicate it.
While I'm focusing on the gravel, she's babbling about
whatever trauma she's got and how grateful she is she
finally met someone who understands her.
Just give sympathy, that's it, understanding. Ought to do
the trick. What else am I supposed to do in scenarios like
these? Can't quite remember if offering solutions is bad or
not.
Well looks like she's done now. We get up and walk to the
other side of the park.
I was pulling up some grass while she was talking, so I'm
throwing it up in the air to make surprise confetti. I'm
unlucky in that I can't seem to be surprised easily, so I
like to try and simulate it.
Why am I still walking with this girl? Why did I care?
What's even her name? It probably doesn't matter. I'm happy
to be looking at the overcast sky.
Most people think cloudy days are depressing, but to me it
looks like the sky has put a blanket down on us and tucked
us in for bed. Either that, or it's smothering us with a
pillow. My opinion changes based on how optimistic I decide
to be when it happens. Today though, it looks like a
blanket.
I finally think to ask her name. She says it annoyingly
softly and shyly. I'm not bothering to ask it again. I
slightly smile and say what a lovely name it is, which
elicits an irritating giggle.
Everything about this girl pisses me off. But I don't want
to leave her company yet. After all, something interesting
might happen.
The sound of a hobo begging for change fills my eardrums.
What should I do?
The patch of concrete he's sitting on doesn't seem as
amiable as the rest.
I'd be a bad person if I didn't give him anything. But then
I'd only be giving to ease my conscience.
So maybe I should just kick his cup away and spit in his
face.
I'm overthinking it.
I hand him a few coins. Hopefully they weren't rare. I
Should've checked.
He mutters some blessing towards me and looks down at the
floor.
I wonder if Saint Peter judges you based off of how many
blessings from hobos you received. It'd be an interesting
twist.
There's a public bathroom over yonder. Might as well use it.
The girl's having a conversation with the guy about
something, so I don't trouble myself to say anything.
I like the smell of the hobo's coat. It reminds me of
something.
CHAPTER FOUR - THE BEAUTY OF ULTRAVIOLET
The outside walls of the bathroom are made of that type of
grainy rock that flakes off if you rub something against it.
I'd wipe my hand on it but I don't wanna get stained by the
graffiti.
I'm considering adding to the art, but nothing comes to
mind. I go in and step into the cleanest stall.
Funny, I can't see my veins under the blue light.
When I wash my hands I can only get cold water to come out
after I yank the crusty tap handles hard enough. I have to
smash my hands against the soap dispenser a few times to get
any. And I need to press a greasy, silver button for hot air
to dry my hands.
Somehow, I feel dirtier after the whole process.
I study my reflection in the mirror. It looks strange under
the light.
I'm wracking my brain, trying to think of something witty to
write on the walls.
All the profanities, names, snarky observations, mixed with
a sickening amount of colors is making my head spin.
I have a strong urge to lick them.
CHAPTER FIVE - THE BEAUTY OF SEAWEED CRACKERS
When I step out the girl's gone, and the hobo's lying down,
asleep.
What a bitch.
Who cares?
I'm starting my stroll out of the park, passing the hobo
now. The smell of his coat hits me again. I go around him
and crouch down to see his face.
Oh. So that's why it smells familiar. It's my father.
I kick his ribs to wake him up and wait for him to get his
bearings a second, then ask him what he's doing.
He was bored today so he decided to mess with me.
Alright.
For the first time in my life I ask why he always smells
like seaweed crackers when I've never seen him eat any. He
says it's genetic.
Cool.
We're on our way to a pretzel stand we decided to go to and
he says he wants to discuss either philosophy or the
weather. I say it's a bit muggy for my liking, but other
than that it's a wonderful day.
Oh look, there's the girl from earlier at the pretzel stand.
I order my dad's favorite pretzel for him and ask why she
left. Apparently I abandoned her without a word.
Yeah, I guess that did happen.
Wow, what a surprise, her and my dad both got the same type
of pretzel. My father and her lock eyes and take a bite. A
pastor walks by and they beg him to marry them.
After they both say "I do", I throw some grass at them I
still had in my pocket in place of rice.
I'd congratulate them but my mouth's full of pretzel.
My father pushes her away when she tries to kiss him, he
never kisses on a first date. Offended, she begs the lawyer
walking by to divorce them.
They decide to just be friends.
I feel a little disenchanted.
Now with my father and ex-stepmother, we think better of
sitting in silence and talk about something. She's asking
what I think of the weather.
The evening's come. A faint hue of light is all that remains
in the streets. It's perfect, I say.
Perhaps the silence was better. But wait, now I'm thinking I
don't even want to be here anymore. I suppose suicide's the
quickest way, but I'd ruin my tie, and besides, I have to
feed my cat.
Ah yes, my cat. A perfect excuse. Should fool them.
I say I don't feel like being here anymore and hop on the
bus home that's luckily just arrived.
CHAPTER SIX - THE BEAUTY OF STYROFOAM
As I contemplate my actions I take my seat across from a
tall, slender, elderly man. He's drinking tea from a
Styrofoam cup.
Each time he goes for a sip his hands shake so much, he
spills a little on his pink sweater. The sweater's littered
with a graveyard of what seems to be rooibos.
Why did I get on this bus? It was convenient I suppose. But
it's going the opposite direction of my home. I'll just
press the red button then. But wait.
The old man's staring at me. What for? I look at myself and
find there's nothing to stare at. He holds his hand forward,
offering me some of his tea. Now that the tea's in the harsh
fluorescent light of the bus, it looks like more of a Hong
Cha.
I shake my head no thank you and hold up my palm.
He nods in acknowledgment, never breaks eye contact. And
then collapses. Right in the hallway of the bus. His red tea
trickles down the aisle.
The man looks more fragile than the crushed Styrofoam cup
still clutched in his hand.
Should I do something? What can I do?
He seems to be evaporating into thin air, his sweater
becoming baggier by the second. A man being shrunk into...
What? Nothing?
Maybe it's his soul leaving, going to swim in the night and
listen to the odd voices from ten thousand strange millennia
ago.
All I can do is look. Just look. I ride to the end of the
line. No one else ever gets on. I slowly stand up and walk
out the doors at the back of the bus.
Drudging home.
I enter my apartment to find my cat sitting at the door,
waiting for me. He looks hungry so I open a can of cat food
and dump it in his shiny, silver food bowl. The meows and
purrs sooth my mind.
Well, I wanted to be surprised. To know the feeling.
And here it is.
CHAPTER SEVEN - THE BEAUTY OF COOKING
Funny, I can't sleep. I'm in my living room, in an armchair
sitting across from another armchair. I forget the other
armchair's even there most days.
The chair in front of me is golden and red.
Why is it golden and red? I'm not quite sure. Perhaps Motley
Crue knows.
But why is that chair there?
A man from long ago probably sat in it.
Why did he do that?
Maybe he was tired after a long day of working.
What was he working on?
A new cookbook displaying all the joyous cooking he can
offer the world? I'd like to think so.
But what happened to the cookbook?
No one knows.
It's a mystery.
So it's possible that the cookbook was useless after all, if
no one was going to read it anyway.
But maybe it helped the man forget about something terrible.
What was terrible? What troubled him?
Even if I could ask, it might be better not to. He may not
want to talk about it, whatever it could be.
I feel sorry for the man that he had to go through that.
But he found solace in the cookbook.
And without the chair, there is no cookbook.
Ah, the chair. Of course, the chair.
The chair.
The splendid chair.
Golden and crimson, hints of amber and maroon on the faded
areas where the man rested his arms the most.
I love that chair. It may not know it.
Or worse, it may not love me back.
But it doesn't matter. I love it all the same.
The beautiful chair.
The chair in front of me.
Another funny thing is, I've never sat in that chair. Even
though I bought it, I feel like it belongs to someone else
and it would be rude to use it without asking.
The park. May be time for a gravel massage. If I'm lucky I
can get myself mugged, what fun.
I can't tell if my apathy is washing over me or if I'm just
numb. Unless they're the same thing, which has a strong
chance of being true based on how things usually go.
Surely that girl won't be out at 2 AM?
CHAPTER EIGHT - THE BEAUTY OF STOOP DUST
Nope. There she is. Waving at me. Either she forgot about
what happened earlier or she doesn't care.
I decide to not struggle and take a seat next to her on the
stoop.
My tie's rapped round my shoulder so I pick it up and gently
lay it along my left side.
I'm cynical enough to think she's just using me as free
therapy. And realizing I'm lonely enough to not complain.
She's different though. What she's saying is especially
different.
No more past traumas or tragedies anymore. Just nostalgic,
rosy statements and speculations. But everything has a
strange hint of sadness to it.
Not quite sure how to describe the mood.
We sit for an eternity. I can't imagine life beyond the
stoop. Its comforting hard surface. I place my palm against
it, when I lift it up again I see it's covered with dust.
I take a napkin I always carry with me in my pocket, dab a
corner of it on a step, and fold it back into my pants.
Each phrase, each reflection, each remark I say to her she
responds with a reply that opens a key in my head.
The sky's the same color as when I got on the bus now.
I'm constantly analyzing my mind. What emotion has taken
control? Apathy? Insecurity? Arrogance? Concern? Surely I'm
capable of more than just that. I've always thought of those
things as being at war, a never ending war.
But maybe they're not at war. Maybe they're all partying
together, just enjoying themselves.
I happen to catch a lovely thought she says under her
breath.
And suddenly I understand it all.

2024.03.03 01:02 spiritof87 A consideration: abandoning the model of “gender dysphoria”

I.
I am tremendously invested in the emancipation of individuals born transsexual from the third-sex prison of special “gender identity.” Put shortly, it is possible to change sex, and live on. There are few compelling reasons to use the word “gender” — it is a term that originates from describing grammar (like how nouns and verbs are gendered in romance languages) and now exists somewhere between a soft synonym for “sex” on paperwork and in polite conversation, and a shibboleth for a blurry, often contradictory ideology.
The term “social sex role” more precisely conveys what “gender” means to express, and anyone born transsexual understands the nuance here: the way society receives you, the way you are treated and the expectations mapped onto you, follow largely from your perceived sex. For better or worse (and often much worse) women and men are treated differently by women and men.
For someone living in a mixed-sex or wrong-sex body, being slotted into the wrong social sex role externally is an extension of the internal ongoing body horror. This wrong-sex social slotting is what “gender dysphoria” would best describe, but that’s substituting a symptom (or more accurately, a component of the experience) for the disorder in itself.
“Gender dysphoria” (while still rejected by the most self-important navel-gazing egg-types who also think people can simply choose to enjoy “having” debilitating conditions like DID and OCD) has also lost all meaning in the old tru-sc** spaces, as heaps of ‘dysphoric’ non-binaries/genderfluids/run of the mill queers stake their claim to it despite … well, despite being cis in all ways other than self-ID. Honestly: are they wrong?
Let me explain — this is a big reason why “gender dysphoria” doesn’t work: making it the standalone diagnostic criteria for being somehow ‘trans’ presumes that only a minority of people have negative emotions regarding the very experience of living in a society where so much of your life is determined by sex/“gender.”
But it’s extremely common for even so-called cis people to find puberty/becoming a man/being sexualized as a woman/whatever to be a tumultuous and disturbing time, and I know almost zero of them, even those who appear stereotypically gender-conforming, who feel fully at ease with the social meaning of their sex and the repressive quality of their socialization. Of course, these individuals are not “trans.”
“Gender dysphoria” is presumed to come in shades of severity that is resolved by different levels of “treatment” — from pronouns and a haircut, to supposed low-dose HRT, to full on transition. “Sex dysphoria” is slightly better, more precise. But it still feels like an extraordinary understatement of the need to change sex, and with it, to change sexed socialization/social perception.
It also ignores and deemphasizes the point that transsexualism is not located strictly in the body/genitals — for many, life before HRT is a hell wrought not only by a horrific disconnect between what’s in the mirror and what should be in the mirror, but also by a disregulated/mismatched endocrine system, where the hormones produced by the body are at odds with those expected by the brain. The brain constantly receiving insufficient hormones from the body leads to a daily life that resembles something like permanent withdrawal, similar to the bodily and psychological need for HRT experienced by men who have lost testes or some women post-menopause.
II.
The liberation of men and women from the most repressive constraints of sex roles, the project in which the actually radical (as opposed to ‘cultural,’ trans-exclusionary) midcentury feminists were invested, is one that has moved me since I was a teenage anarchist. It is also completely separate from the medical necessity of transition.
These struggles only overlap on concerns of bodily autonomy and the ghetto of women’s healthcare (which all transitioning people experience from one side or the other.)
Take the endlessly repeated holophrase “trans women are women.” If this is true, and it generally is, a woman born transsexual transitioning into the correctly sexed body says nothing about the untethering of ‘woman’ from ‘gender’ or ‘sex’ — so why is it so commonly implied that trans women are automatically and irrevocably these brave frontline warriors in the radical fight to “abolish gender?” Something really ugly is hiding in the presumed connection between ‘trans identity’ (ugh) and ‘gender radicality’: it’s because this nearly hegemonic attitude that conflates the two actually takes trans women for daring men who exist to subvert and defy gendered expectations. Something similar occurs, perhaps even worse, for transitioning men. Straight up fuck all that.
And the people who most embrace or personally relate to that conflation … well, I won’t say the quiet part loud here, but the fight for the emancipation of all people from repressive social sex roles and the treatment of the rare disorder of cross-sex brain/body development are two very different struggles.
III.
What do we mean when we say gender? When we say dysphoria? I use way too many quotation marks to offset ideas here because the common phrases used to talk about this are all undergirded by an ideology that does not grasp the reality of those born transsexual, or anything about sexed society. I’ll stop rambling… but I think the slippery semantic ambiguity of both ‘gender’ and ‘dysphoria’ does a disservice to anyone who would like to see the treatment of transsexualism divorced from self-sabotaging culture wars and the corresponding essentialist identitarianism.

2024.03.01 08:24 _Lost_Paradise The Story That Won't End...

Hello. Here's my insight + story (if you care enough to read it)
WARNING; A FUCKING NOVEL
(I tend to write too much because I literally never speak in real life, so I massively overcompensate in written form... I guess? Or it's just years of pent-up feelings never ever expressed, one of the two... either way, Apologies for all that, I genuinely don't know where else I can express all of this aside from therapy, but you know... I hope it's not too much, and even more so; I hope someone, somewhere, somehow gains something of value out of this ocean of verbal diarrhea... that's more than I could ever ask for in my little blip of nothingness)
TL/DR; Not having a family or anyone that gives even the slightest amount of fucks about you, including yourself, kinda sorta sucks. Also, shitty luck doesn't exactly help. I still have hope, for better or for worse... I Hope...
First things first, I must mention that I've literally never done something like this ever... as in express my ""feelings"" or ""emotions"" (whatever the fuck those are) at all... to anyone... ever. Let alone in a whole ass novel online for random people, but... I'd like to think this particular community is but the slightest bit more understanding of the fact that with enough time, and not enough 'grit', or willpower- whatever the fuck you want to call it- after a while... this shit just breaks you down... to nothing, and that's not even the beginning.
I must express my overwhelming gratitude and appreciation for this community and subreddit for even existing in the first place. To have somewhere to share and shelter in some level of understanding and dare I say... love, of even the most basic- and I do mean - basic kind, well... from the way I see it; I believe it's like trekking through the Sahara Desert for 12 months, living off tears, hope, bullshit and dreams... and finding fucking Wild Waves or something. Maybe that's a slight exaggeration but, who can say?This will take a lifetime to read as it is, so I'll just shut up and get to the point: Here's my shitty """little""" insight, just because... I have nothing else to do.
I've never had a family. Not that 'real' one I'm sure we all dream of and picture in our heads, see in movies, all of that. That entire 'love' nonsense... simply does not exist. If you ask me or anyone in my 'family' it is an absolute guarantee that not one of us could give you a respectable and even remotely accurate response on what the fuck 'Love' even means, and furthermore why the fuck they decided to have a kid in the first place if all it is ever going to be(at best) is some useless background item that you occasionally feed and shove off to school and work and call it a fucking job well done.
Because I don't think I could properly express how automatic my life is and has been, and that I feel is just the best word to use; Automatic. Like a damn assembly line, another click of the clock. Day after day after day of just... nothing in the exact same way. Again and again and again. No love. No compassion. No understanding, and most of all; no attempt to do any of that in the first place. And from what I've come to understand after so many years, I think that I've concluded that this is in fact... not normal. Quite the opposite... in fact, some normal folk out there may even observe this and say things like; "What the fuck?" and /or "Why the fuck?" and so on. But this is, of course, all said and dry. I can't speak for everyone obviously, I can only assume that this is at the least the baseline of most, if not all neglect in families in some variable degree, that which unites us all, our extremely shitty God as it were: Absence.
The absence of everything that we are TOLD that makes family so special... people that genuinely respect and care for you as you are, so and so, this and that and... that little thing called Unconditional Love (whatever the fuck that means, i.e. Is like the point of existing apparently, who knew?), and we are only left to idle and contemplate... everything that we have, but significantly lack - or simply just do not need - and the nothing that we don't have and don't know we truly need... until it's too late and the damage is already done. Something that you couldn't even understand that you've had yet, a lifetime of trust is shattered before a life is ever even lived. Thus I've, through rigorous experience, in a virtual paradise of absence have been left only to fabricate and ignore. Not even fill the void of emotional connection but ignore it altogether.
I've never ever even thought about using drugs or being a delinquent little bastard, or anything of the sort. My story is the much more boring type. In fact, that is the precise reason why I've never once thought to share anything about myself with anyone: because there is literally nothing interesting to say. I sit, shut down, and be silent. At any hint of adversity or unprompted attention of ANY kind, I just close down and shut up. That + a lifetime of severe social anxiety + a good 'ol dash of perfectionism + a grand arsenal range of self-hatred brought upon by neglect compounded by yet even more self-neglect, cook that for about 24 years and you got me... Nothing. I literally do not exist to the world, and it's a struggle for me to even attempt to exist in it. I have nothing and I am nothing. Believe me, I know all too well how that can just be construed as simple mindless self-depreciation and self-hatred. I am very much aware. I know that. The hardest part is truly believing everything otherwise. After all, how can a few simple, seemingly bullshit statements, like: "You deserve love, unconditionally.", "You do matter.", or "You do have a purpose.", yadda yadda fucking yadda, possibly stack up against a 24-year-long - and still going - fucking overwhelming amount of evidence that clearly debunks all of that. I can't fucking stand these phrases, these self-love mantras, whatever they are- they're fucking bullshit.
Riddle me this, friends; If we all, or somehow, I "deserve love", then where is it? Or more accurately, where was it? Apparently, not everyone got the memo because my family has yet to learn the concept. There is no love, there never was, and never will be.I guess that should be the sign to finally put it all into picture (better late than never, right?)
Here's my story:
Hello again, my name is Alex. I am 24 years old(M), and if you couldn't tell by now... I am very, very, very alone. One could even say completely alone. A full and true entire absence of love, family, everything. You name it, I don't have it... yet, I have a roof over my head, I'm fed (most of the time) and I'm almost sometimes cared for financially so clearly, I must be one of the lucky ones? Right...? I should be grateful! That is certainly what I convinced myself of... maybe a little too well.For reasons I can't explain, I've always, always tried my damnedest to prove myself thankful for what little I have, to appreciate every single goddamn crumb of the enjoyment of life I could as if it were the greatest gift that could be given. I wish I could tell you why exactly... but I can't. I just did. To explain what I mean, I'm talking about all the little things in life. The rainy, quiet days. That which all that I enjoyed in video games, art, everything. Every single second of peace and quiet, every single moment of enjoyment that I, myself, truly loved, that which made me... me. Even if I knew for an absolute fact that all I was doing was distracting myself from reality yet again, ignoring everything that needed fixing, I just didn't care. I still don't. Because at the end of the day, at least for me... It's really, really... really fucking hard to care about yourself when no one else ever, ever has. And that there is no guarantee that anyone ever will. That's the part that needs a lot of love to fix... well shit, therein lies the problem.
As for actual family... I don't have a real father figure, never did, or better put I just don't have a dad so yeah, that's always fun. The best I ever had was my Grandfather. He was my one and true only friend. The one single person on this planet that I could genuinely call my family. It's not too far off of being five years now since he died in my hands. That was not a fun day, that much I can tell you.
Ever since then, it feels as if each and every day has delved deeper and deeper into this mire of absolute absence, now more than ever from myself. Even typing this right now, I can't express how loud that voice is, in the back of my head that constantly screams at me, on a never-ending loop that "No one gives a fuck about you. No one. No one ever has and no one never will." it's become so everpresent, so commanding that I've all but abandoned any attempt to ever prove it otherwise. Even right this moment... I'm fighting not to just delete all of this. Why would anyone waste their day reading all this autistic rambling from someone they never have and never will know..? Why would anyone care about me at all..? No one has before, ever, in my entire life. There do not exist memories of someone telling me I matter to them, that I matter period. That I offer anything to anyone. And the worst part is... it's true. It really actually is. At least I really believe it so... why else would everything be like this?! Why else would throughout all my years of school and homelife be nothing more than dead silently sitting in a corner for several hours completely alone, invisible, and never interacting or being interacted with by anyone, come 'home' and receive the exact same treatment, do nothing, sleep, wake up and do it all over again with mind-numbing alternation for year after year after year?!?!
...And then there's my mother... the author of all my pain. The one who has dragged me through her landfill of a life and tied to a pole with nowhere else to go, and so there in my palace of garbage, I claim my kingdom. To keep it as simple and clear as possible; She is about as textbook definition of what is called "Cold Mother Syndrome" as you can get. I am an invisible item in the background of her life, nothing more. Unless I do something wrong, of course... or just didn't effortlessly succumb to the conveyor belt life that was apparently planned out for me already. As much as it disappointed them I'm sure, and at the time me, especially. Despite being the only one in my family line to actually graduate high school apparently, I didn't do too well in college(it was art college haha) turns out that not ever being asked what you actually want out of life was not in fact considered for me. Not fucking once, ever. Key example; My mother(without asking me whatsoever at all) signed me up for driving school, and believe it or not... I did not want to drive a car. It simply does not interest me, and frankly a little too scary for a little bitch boy like myself who is easily distracted by his own thoughts and can trail off at a moment's notice... and as for getting a job? Forget it. Believe me despite everything I've been trying, unsuccessfully mind, but even then it doesn't matter, I never hear the end of it anyway as that's the top priority for me apparently... I know we all obviously dream of labor but unfortunately, I guess I could never dream that big. I thought I wanted to be an artist originally... I was wrong. I was very wrong, did I ever receive support then or now?.. I think you know the answer. My interests and my passions never have and never will mean anything to her, but the second I ever fuck up anything, then all of a sudden she's there and present but anything else? I might as well just not be here. It would not - and I cannot stress this enough - make zero difference. Hell if anything, she'd have more room to live her life because it's more than evident that that's what actually matters. I can't even attempt to count how often every single interaction we've ever had will, I repeat WILL, become about her, always. The does not exist a day where she will make the day about herself, or deviate any other topic back to her. And that's when she's not out somewhere living her life, gambling like there's no tomorrow, restaurant binging, movies, work, all of that... and where am I in all this you may ask? Well, isn't it obvious by now? I'm home alone. And If it wasn't specified already, I have zero siblings whatsoever. It's just me and a small ass house that's maybe just a little too cramps... oh yeah, did I also forget to mention that she's basically a professional hoarder in training? I literally have to climb over shit to get to my gaming chair in the living room which is so ghetto that I couldn't even begin to describe it... just know that she doesn't allow me to play games in my room. Why? I have no fucking idea. She just doesn't allow it. How I wish I could understand even of the slightest degree the state of her mental damage, but at this point I don't that would offer me any form of closure. Other than further irrefutable evidence that I shall be doing the universe an eternal favor by removing this cursed, broken bloodline from existence... you're welcome everybody:)
Even still, after so much, and yet so little time... I've more or less given up... on suicide that is. Death seems like too harsh a 'solution' to all this if you ask me. That doesn't get me anywhere. I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of never living. And even now, I'm still not...
I'm trying to get help, really, I am... but apparently, the universe doesn't like that. At different times at two different locations, I've tried to make an appointment to see a counselor, and guess what? They were canceled as I arrived. And never once informed me beforehand causing me to completely waste my time. As if I was going to do anything of value with it in the first place but still... that's two for two I've genuinely tried to reach out and ask for help just to be punched in the face both times and told to fuck off and fuck you. And would you believe that the second time just happened today..? Not that's to even mention the millions of little setbacks that plague me each and every day just for the irreparable crime of continuing to exist.I want to live life so... so badly. If there have been any positives whatsoever in all this... I've got a lot of time to myself to think... maybe, a little bit too much... but the point is; I have a vision, a dream even... I have an actual idea of what I want my life to be but fuck me... were it so easy... but then I guess it wouldn't be life, would it?
Oh yeah, I didn't even at all mention the whole longing for a relationship of literally any kind, or the fact my mother also decided to marry an abusive shitpile of a human who I'm stuck living with but that's its own story hahaha, and at this point... I think I've said enough as it is. A thousand apologies for the rambling, there's few things I hate more than feeling like a complete waste (which is really saying something lmao) but again, I hope someone gains something out of all this... and even if not... I REALLY needed to vent all that out so... if anyone has actually read all this... how I wish I could hug you right now, I do regardless... cause well, I think you know the problem there too, but alas, life goes on... just another day. Just another day...
Just Keep On Moving.
Take Care of Yourself, and Take Care of Somebody Else.
