One of our good folks pointed out to me that the thing that really worried him about my long article describing the SPLC attack was that I sounded panicked.
My reply was, “I WAS panicked. Look, man, I stopped being John Wayne before you were born.”
I have been through a LOT of shocks. When I hit one, I go to my friends and share it with them. That’s what I did with you.
This is the way I have gotten through a very hard life and a very bad set of shocks. I was raised around The Weakest Generation, and I heard a few thousand lectures about how they were heroes, “Scared, of course, but all soldiers are scared.”
Every word they said sounded a lot more like John Wayne in the movies than the terrified kids they actually were.
Nobody made the reality clearer or more often than the Duke himself, “I wasn’t in those battles. I was acting.”
John Wayne was the opposite of Tom Brockaw. Yes, he made a lot of money on the World War II generation’s image of itself, but unlike Brockaw he never did it by patronizing them.
I have learned the hard way that if I try to put on an act when I’m scared or under pressure, it costs me effectiveness in DOING what must be done.
John Wayne was a professional actor. Tom Brockaw is groveling lickspittle.

Way too much respect is given to the influence of fear.
It is the ease in taking offense that matters.
This operates both on the individual and personal levels. For example, the police have all these red lines that are enforced regarding the amount of disrespect they will tolerate. It is institutional. It is formal. And it is a matter of policy.
For a Mantra thinker this makes them fools. As an opponent, they have provided clear information on how they are STRUCTURED to respond, so they have given good information on HOW they can be defeated.
Individuals pretty much STUCTURE themselves the same way. Real fighters, however, are never so reckless.
When I run into someone who seems immune from being provoked into taking offense, I know I am dealing with a skilled opponent.
Understanding this is Mantra thinking and of importance, especially with a group that is committed to provoking confrontations.

provoking confrontations?…

The purpose of the Mantra is to attack the post WWII conditioning that white people are inherently evil and have no right to defend themselves as a race lest they are Nazis.
When you confront people that what they are actually doing is sanctioning genocide, that is provoking a confrontation.
There is no way to spread the Mantra other than to provoke confrontations.
That is what we are doing.

I liked this blog. I tell friends that it’s hard enough for me to just live up to being myself, without pretending to myself or to others that I’m someone else.

Making a point, even an extreme one, is different from a Confrontation. Can’t say I agree Dave.

Bob, if you end up being financially ruined, I’m an expert on that lifestyle and will be willing to tutor you for free!

Erwin, you don’t realize how good you are at this.
Before mentioning genocide, you introduced your short say with these word:”The purpose of the Mantra is to attack the post WWII conditioning that white people are inherently evil and have no right to defend themselves as a race lest they are Nazis.”
You could have said that alone to somebody and shaken their world in a way AMPW ever could.

Have we got a ww2 section in the “BUGS Buddy”?
All this talk about John Wayne gets me thinking about his ww2 prop movies bashing the Nazis for their wicked racism while depicting the Japs as bestial untermenschen.
Coach is only human? Shocking.

What the non–Whites actually feel is envy. They are envious of our accomplishments. That is where all that drivel about White PRIVILEGE comes from. This envy, on the part of non–Whites, is most irrational.

Epiphany, the most monomaniacal hates come from truths.
Many Brits hate Germans, not because Germans claim superiority, but because they honestly believe Germans ARE superior to them
If you read the definitions of White Privilege in a Mantra way it just says that whites are aware of a superiority everybody secretly assumes for them.

And African Americans usually imagine that Whites are richer than themselves!

Whites are already being oppressed! They simply pretend not to realize it. The Reds, Browns, Yellows, and Blacks routinely mistreat us, and by a strange form of Freudian projection, speak as if we are oppressing them instead of the other way about.
The Jewish people, are of course, too smart to literally believe that they were Chosen to rule over the rest of us. They want us to believe they are, or at any rate, they want us to believe that they believe they are. And none even read the Talmud, except anti–Semites. In a way, the Jewish people are quite cunning, albeit in their evil and twisted way.
