The White Man's Burden

[exploited]

[John Galt]

the white man has such a problem with anything coming close to being self congratulating and labels it narcissism and claims all narcissism is bad, and so the rest of the world then just gets lowered expectations and we refrain from judgement. when someone does start judging other westerners get really mad and then start yelling at that person and trying to find out ways they are a hypocrite and then ignores how islamic people the world over overwhelmingly support the beheading of people for "crimes" like apostay, or how they perform genital mutilation on girls. we end up talking about how some fat bitch on tumblr got triggered by someone holding the door for her

post modernists think of lack of objective space in which to judge. post modernists should live in hobbit holes and never use transportation because there are truths that are not subjective, like gravity, but they refuse to believe in such nonsense. i think a lot of the world, namely, africa and the arab world, is barbaric. but what should we even do about it is the question you're asking. the western world has done it before, bringing civilization to the uncivilized. it was called colonialism, and it was a smashing success at the time. we should do it again

When person A and person B are not operating with the same information, bad things happen. You can't really legislate the aftermath away

None of you have actually answered any of the questions.

Humanism is one of those things that sounds great on paper, but can get pretty damned fascist pretty damned fast.

The white man's burden in general is pretty much the most racist thing going. Make excuses for others. Set them lower standards. Have lesser expectations of them. Generously congratulate them for their little victories, as if they are children learning how to shit in a toilet for the first time. Don't hold them responsible for any fraction of their plight, as if they were adults, but take the blame upon yourself, because you subconsciously (or consciously) believe they are children and must be protected, and cannot be held responsible for their actions.

Its sickening. But, you have to play along with this massive, odious, entrenched, and culturally cemented display of racism...in order to not be a racist yourself. Thus the conspicuous displays of white guilt, the overblown internet faux *NOT RACIST* self recrimination and self flagellation; but only of course where there is an audience to see just how conspicuously *not racist* you are. Because of course racism is the default condition. You were born with it, white devil.

Those white people who preach loudest about the evils of white people are probably the most deeply racist people in the room. And they might not even realize it. Its been buried so deep in their heads its become reflexive to automatically castigate themselves because they're white and should therefor know better and make excuses for others because they aren't and therefor shouldn't know better.

Hell, dollars to donuts I'll be called a racist for this post. That logical inversion has simply been built into societal awareness.

it's more interesting when white people claim things like "truth and reconciliation commissions" are better than bringing about justice. because we thought about it in our towers made of ivory that we got from the colonial days and we think that perhaps instead of producing blame we should come together, like what john lennon said, and it would be like, absolutely beautiful

and then northern ireland says, f**k you white people i do what i want
