KNOW YOUR ENEMY 2

Okay, so we eagerly embrace ignorance and simplified propaganda to hide our own sins.  We do NOT actually analyze the enemy as it might reflect poorly on ourselves.  We feel bad if we only live in an echo chamber of our own side, and so force ourselves to sip cautiously at the other side of the stream.  “Read the Lefties, to understand your enemy“.  Why?  All you do is elevate your blood pressure and confirm to yourself how wonderful the Right is ( which, ONLY entirely coincidentally I am most sure, also serves to excuse or minimize the problems of the right ).

*

You are bravely sallying forth to confront the enemy by “attempting to understand him”, yet all you do is refute your own sins ( minimizing by comparison ) and reinforce your own wise choices.  Okay, let’s role out the caricatures.  Joe Bob hates Hippy Scum Leftist Pukes.  Joe Bob isn’t your typical redneck-he actually likes to read ( you won’t notice the social stigma by Whites against learning as you do with Blacks-and it does reinforce the tribal aspects for the Blacks, so it is by no means ignorant-but there are always some backlash.  If nothing else, the choosing of Mudden’, NASCAR and watching football over visiting the library ).

*

Joe Bob reads the Washington Post, New York Times Book Review and a few Democrat ghost written autobiographies.  He tries to understand why Black poor people are different than him and other poor White people.  He even tries to read behind the lines on the Civil War ( attempting to give the Gott-damn Yankees the benefit of the doubt ).  Now, what has all of this accomplished?  He concludes that the enemy is illogical and uses straw man arguments to attempt to win the ideological war politically.

*

However, let’s talk about Joe Bob and the War On Terror.  He supports the military Over There, having been a Marine earlier in his life.  He doesn’t believe the Yankees about 9/11, but we are still Doing Good over in the middle east.  He doesn’t believe corporations are out to help him or His, but we also can’t just have a bunch of damn communists running the economy since that would be most unFree. 

*

Any company making extra money off selling poorly made  weapons to the troops are excused because they are free market companies ( and it’s the Pentagon’s and The Officers faults-but Officers are good and there are just a few bad apples.  He isn’t sure why he never saw any good ones, but since Military Good, officers being part of the military must be also ).  He doesn’t recognize his own Straw Man arguments and illogical conclusions, does he?  All he can do is study in depth and conclude that any discrepancies in the system are still preferable to Communists, Lefties, Socialists or Welfare systems.

*

Now, all this is not to say we are all a bunch of Neanderthals, the males attempting to mate while in rut by jousting with their protruding coneheads.  We can very well be quite aware of our own mental gymnastics and blind spots ( training yourself to be self aware consistently might be another thing entirely ).  But is that enough?  As we all know from aging and gaining wisdom, academic awareness and true understanding are very different animals.  And even professionals supposedly studied in different cultures can’t navigate around their own paradigms. 

*

When we are all blinded by a shared culture,  ignorance is a good thing.  That is how we are wired, The Other always being evil is a survival mechanism.  It is NOT natural to walk a mile in another’s shoes.  After all, the shoe owner is the enemy and will wait until the shoe gives us a blister and hobbles us ( cue in Steve Martin’s “Cruel Shoes” ) and then will attack.  And perhaps that is the number one problem with trying to empathize and relate to Lefties.  They want you to NOT hate.  How unnatural is that?

*

We see their very philosophy as an attack on us-not because we can’t share like socialists or give charity like communists, but because anyone who tells you it is bad to hate is stripping you of the defense mechanism against attack.  Hating The Other is mistrusting The Other and that is defending against The Other.  Lefties might as well be telling you not to be afraid of the pitch black savanna full of lions and tigers.  Even attempting to understand them is an exercise in lowering your defenses.

*

The same applies to trying to understand Moslems.  Anyone who attempts to do so is looked at as a Quisling.  Since, supposedly, and we really don’t know because we make no attempt at context or dissimilar culture understanding, they are encouraged and even commanded to hate and kill all Christians, and if you defend them or try to understand them you are part of their nefarious plans at genocide.  Strong inducement to tow the line hating the Muzzies.

*

Do I defend the Leftists or the Other Religions?  No more than what it takes to attempt to understand our own blind spots.   I want to have my cake and eat it, too.  I want to still hate them, as my tribe demands, yet also understand them-although only to the extent of a lab specimen.  Doesn’t that sound logical, or at least familiar?  How can true understanding happen in that kind of atmosphere?  There will always be folks you are fascinated with the enemy.  And perhaps they can shed some light on them to your benefit strategically ( which is a good thing ).  But perhaps not, as the decision makers work through their own bias.

*

Bottom line, more often that not you are not going to understand the enemy.  Don’t try too hard.  And if you do, it will be more mental masturbation than anything else.  Humans are simply wired to hate.  Males hate their own species, other males, but will hump any enemy tribe female, and females hate their own species, other females, but will gladly breed with enemy tribe males.  Hating other males makes eliminating them or surviving their attacks easier.  Hating other females, the same.  The only difference in the genders is that males fight to kill and females fight to dominate breeding.  Hate is good.  Understanding is overrated.
