Apparently, according to people I don’t know, whose opinions
hold zero value to me, I am guilty of being a racist, misogynist, and whatever
else labels they’ve got that they think would make people upset.
Why? Have I done
something really wrong? Have I been mean
or abusive to people? Do I engage in
behaviors to put people down and take advantage of them? No.
And the huge majority of people in the world, many of whom are being
tarnished with these labels, haven’t done these things, either.
Most people are good people just going about their
lives. They’re not hurting anyone. In fact if anything they’d give the shirt off
their back to help their neighbors in need. They’re not racist. They’re not misogynist or any of these other
labels. They’re just people living their
lives – apparently in a way that irritates other people who should be minding
their own business. That’s not
mean-spirited or oppressive, it’s just different people doing different things.
But apparently that’s enough to bother a small group of
people who have appointed themselves judges of what is and isn’t good behavior
and who are and aren’t good people. But who cares what these people think?
Well, that’s the thing.
Grounded, well-adjusted people who value their self-worth DON’T care
what self-appointed feminists or experts on “race relations” (which looks more
like conflict than relating, but apparently grammar is also racist) think. If you value yourself, you strive to be a
good person and you don’t get caught up in nonsense about whether some crazy
person on Twitter with a blog thinks you’re “woke” or not.”
If society was filled with mostly high-self-esteem people,
the feminists and race baiters would be flat out of a job. But it’s not.
There are a lot of good, decent people who listen to these people – not because
these people are good resources on how to live a good life, but because these
people remind them why they should feel unworthy.
America doesn’t have a race problem. America doesn’t have a misogyny problem. America has a self-esteem problem. It’s not that there aren’t enough Americans
who love women and love people regardless of the color of their skin, it’s that
too few of the people who are good, decent people are willing and able to
accept themselves as good people. And so
they listen to the manipulators who try to convince people that we are all bad. And unfortunately, some of them take it to
heart and become bad – not because they really are bad, but because they
completely devalue themselves.
We’re not bad people.
Yes, there are a few genuinely bad people. They’re about 1-2% of the population, and
they really are just evil. Then there
are a few more who are just ignorant.
And there are some on top of that who aren’t bad but who have some “anger
management issues.” They’re at the far
end of the low-self-esteem spectrum. Calling these people “bad” doesn’t really
help.
And none of those people even know the social justice manipulators
even exist. Probably 90% of the “bad
things” are perpetuated by a group of people that is either hopelessly evil,
really ignorant (and these people are mostly harmless, though they get a lot of
attention and shame), or unable to control their harmful impulses. Railing about social justice does absolutely
nothing to deter the bad behavior from this group. You know what does help? Policing, intervention, basic education. In other words, the things society does
already, but maybe not effectively enough.
After that we have two broad groups of people – those who
know they’re good people, and those who are good but doubt their
worthiness. Both groups run the gamut of
political opinions and social status. The first group isn’t going to listen to
the social justice people, because who is going to take advice from someone who
obviously has more personality issues than they do? They may get annoyed/ be amused, but they’re
not affected. This covers “most people,”
and pretty much all the people who go about their lives and really don’t have
much to do with politics outside of casting votes every so often – you know,
those “disengaged voters,” or people who don’t even vote.
Then you have the “sheep.”
These are people who are good, but for whatever reason don’t accept
their worthiness as human beings on this earth.
I know far too many people who fit this category. They want to be good,
they try to be good, because deep down inside, they believe they are not
good.
And as such, they are easy marks. Every charlatan, every race baiter, every
feminist hones in on these people like flies to dog business. They’re the people who provide the money to “personal
coaches,” PUA’s (pick-up artists), social activists, you name it. Because they don’t believe they are good,
they believe they have to “do something” to achieve worthiness.
It’s no surprise that the most manipulative, dishonest and
toxic feminists I’ve come across are also aligned with the PUA community. They’re attracted to weak, wounded men. They smell the fear like sharks smell
blood. And they attack without mercy.
If you look to social justice people – or personal coaches,
or PUAs – to give you worthiness, you will be broke, unhappy, and forever
unworthy. You will be a sheep, and they’ll
just keep fleecing you over and over.
Because the problem isn’t that you are a racist. You’re not.
You’re not misogynistic, either.
And you’re not a pussy, or any of those other things. You’re a human being, a spiritual being of
infinite value who has lost connection with their inherent worth. You’re not a bad person, or unattractive, or
boring, or shy or whatever you tell yourself.
You’re a good person whose a little lost. You’ve forgotten how to be human and how to
be happy and you’re trapped in an unhappiness loop.
Yes, there are bad people in this world. And if you’re reading this, there’s almost
zero chance you’re one of them. Yes,
there are ignorant people in this world.
If you’re reading this, you’re not one of them. And there are people who have lost their
way. And there’s a good chance you’re
one of them. And the first step to
finding your way out of being lost is to stop listening to the people who stand
to gain from keeping you lost and confused.
You’re not racist.
You don’t hate women or men or anyone else. And it’s time to stand up for yourself.
Yes, the people who seek to manipulate weak people would say
I’m racist and misogynistic. That’s good – they hate me because I’m a mortal
threat to their existence. I know who I
am, which makes me immune to their BS.
And I empower others, which means I have the power to destroy their
audience. Because once you connect to
your true self, you’ll have nothing to do with people who accuse good people of
being evil.
