TORTURING WHITES FOR THE EVIL IN AMERICA IS A SMOKESCREEN

 TORTURING WHITES FOR THE EVIL IN AMERICA IS A SMOKESCREEN

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

An albino person is born white although most are considered white or black, depending on the parental skin color. In the past a person born to one black and one white parent was called “mulatto” although this term is rarely used any longer as it is a political advantage and “cooler” to be considered black. Race is not a black or white issue, it is grey.

 

The identification of being white or black is politically arbitrary, not scientifically defined. In the south before the Civil War individuals with 1/8th black blood were considered black. Many individuals with white skin and features “passed for white” although they had more black ancestors than allowed by the 1/8th formula. Few can claim to be 100% of any race as migration has existed from the beginning of time.

 

When immigrants from other nations arrived in the U.S., they generally defined themselves as Kenyan, Mexican, French or Haitian, not as black or white. Most people are of mixed blood lines. For example, people from the Philippines might be of Spanish or Asian ancestry but often identify as Filipino not as a race. In America, we define people by an imprecise pseudo-science construct like race, while overlooking the unique self-definition.

 

Anytime we categorically accuse people of any group that they are the cause of evil acts we are scapegoating those members. This has happened throughout history. In the Spanish Inquisition people were executed for not being “Catholic enough”. In the Salem Witch trials, any person who did not conform could be identified by the children as witches and killed. Today whites are being targeted.

 

 Many new sociological concepts are being introduced into our culture to shame whites into taking responsibility for the historical exploitation of blacks. Structural racism, privilege status, white supremacy, diversity training and now Robin Diangelo, Ph.D. has introduced her book, White Fragility. She hypothesized through hostile questions that white discomfort and defensive reactions are indicators of guilt for racism. All whites are systematically evil and must change their entire being. She has asserted a new concept of preaching that whites should change their thinking to be “less white.” If they deny they are racist or accept blame for their past thoughts or feelings, all scenarios make them a racist. 

 

Dr. Diangelo was surprised to find that her white subjects did not view themselves as white but instead as their ethnicity such as Irish-American or Puerto Rican-American even when they appeared to be white. Many families of island nations have siblings of many different physical characteristics and appear different racially.

 

This irrational rage against all whites for causing social injustice does not make sense. The progressive elites want to transform America into a socialist-communist, top-down dictatorship by reeducating our children in government schools and management in our international corporations through diversity training. The elites are punishing all non-progressive whites into being apologetic people to accept the guilt of being racist.  Other resistant patriotic whites who refuse to take the blame for prospering by the sweat of their efforts and innovations are ridiculed as racist. This tactic of divide and conquer has traditional whites on one side and progressive, converted whites on the other side.

 

Today some pseudo scientists, sociologists, psychologists, legal experts and politicians have targeted whites (supposedly a definable race) as the individuals that have used systematic racism against blacks and indigenous natives in establishing this country. Every non-black group that arrived after the founding of our country is somehow also included and guilty for the evil treatment of these two racial groups: blacks and Indians, although these individuals were not even here yet. 

 

The racist issue between so called black and white is more complicated than simply a spectrum of the shade of one’s skin color on a chart. The issue of racism has many nuances (variables) that impact the person’s attitude and assessments toward racial groups. 

 

Placing the blame on all whites may be good politics for one political party but it is horrendous for America. A divided nation is a weak nationOur nation is not structurally racist. The melting pot is still producing a wonderful soup that is nurturing for all Americans regardless of their previous nationality or skin shade. Everyone has the freedom to contribute and elevate themselves economically and socially.  Martin Luther King Jr. wanted all Americans to be color blind and to advance by merit rather than the color of their skin.

 

A meritocracy ends the nonsense of structural racism and equity returning to our patriotism to our constitution and free market economy.

WHY CAPITALISM IS HATED BY THE ELITES

 WHY CAPITALISM IS HATED BY THE ELITES

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

Capitalism unleashes opportunity and freedom. It provides citizens the ability to succeed or fail. It is a personal choice for one to decide what to do with one’s life, to provide for themselves and their family. It is often liberating. It is about the challenge and opportunity to obtain the economic goal improving their station in life and the freedom to do it their own way.

 

The freedom of focusing one’s energy unleashes the potential to climb to the highest rung on the socio-economic ladder. It allows the individual to overcome self-imposed, physical limitations and fears. Instead of wallowing in the past and present difficulties they can struggle to create a greater future. 

 

The personal initiative of the entrepreneur can be contagious family members, friends, employees and other contacts to follow. They see the concentration, vitality and decision making in successfully achieving self-imposed obligations. This happens more efficiently and effectively through self-training without a single word of complaining or resentment. One’s business is the mission and blessing. By the power of decision making and commitment this self-made person produces the best product at the most economical price. The self-made individual has joined the ranks of a capitalist. 

 

Too many politicians have never run a business or produced anything from start to finish. In other words, many are parasites that have never experienced the self-gratification of creating something from scratch while learning how to do it successfully. Yet these sycophants have obtained great amounts of money and power by doing what they need to do to elevate themselves. They become adroit at lying to their constituency while keeping a phony front to other high profile public figures. These individuals want to be adored by the Average Joe Public but are not like them. They are a projection of what they want to be, rather than who they actually are. Money and power become their creed over all other motivations, although they desire veneration above all else. 

 

Many political elites start out in a privileged class. Through social and political networking they imbed themselves into the politically elite class. Regardless of how they arrived at being a political elite of either party most will have to learn how to wheel and deal to advance their career and certainly to stay on the good side of the democrat media and social media stage. 

 

There are few exceptions to this rule, although some independent, honest politicians eventually get recognition for their unwillingness to compromise their principles. Politicians with personal integrity are exceptions to the rule. When they get attacked by both sides of the aisle you know they stand up for what they believe. These individuals earn respect not by “kissing up” to the powerful politicians or using political babble to sound important but by accomplishing specific positive results for their constituents. 

 

Many of the capitalist public have their own sense of worth from accomplishing things in their lives. Many citizens have honest, fulfilling lifestyles and positive experiences succeeding in the capitalist system. They are proud of honestly earning their own comfortable lifestyle with no jealousy or submission to others. This is one of the reasons that many of the elites want to limit the economics, social and world travel of the deplorables and other U.S. citizens. The godless  elite parasites want to control the peoples’ freedom so they can maintain the heightened sense of self-importance of having special privileges. 

 

Only by limiting success to individuals they choose will the politician’s power, wealth and status increase. It is the only way these egotistical politicians can receive the adulation they crave and to which they think they are entitled.  Dictatorial power and rewards attract them to a Marxist type society where the masses are poor and powerless. This would be horrifying to most Americans but inspirational to many progressive politicians like John Kerry. Perhaps it is too repulsive for the average citizen to view our elite politicians as so narcissistic, shallow and evil that they cannot consider the will of the people.

 

These politicians do not believe in any citizen rights except their own. Evil does not think about caring and loving of others but only about exploiting them for their own benefit. It is disgustingly evil for any person to treat another in this manner. Unfortunately for anyone living under a dictatorial society, this is reality.

 

People living in a nation with individual rights and freedoms are living under the guidance of 
God’s love. This is why selfish, devious leaders naturally gravitate towards the communist ideology or attempt to establish one.

 

We the People need to fight for our unalienable rights or we will suddenly wake up to an evil, sneering political dictator.

EXTINGUISHING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY IS RAMPANT

 EXTINGUISHING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY IS RAMPANT

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

We are living in the time when people are not encouraged to be responsible for their actions. There are many excuses for every misbehavior from early childhood to death. Every choice, no matter how predictably destructive to one’s life, has built in excuses to allow the person to blame someone or something else. 

 

On January 4th, 2001 a federal lawsuit was filed asking for damages for school principal, Mary Williams, who was dismissed for a supposed alcohol addiction. The suit stated that the school district discriminated against her because of her disability not addiction. The ultimate question is whether her excessive drinking is because of her addiction or a disability caused by mental or physical reasons beyond her control. Mary William’s alcohol abuse was well documented. The denial that an individual’s life is not affected by bad choices undermines the American value of individual responsibility. 

 

Practicing personal responsibility should be promoted in school. However, children rarely pay a price for doing shoddy work or not bringing in their homework. Grade inflation is an attempt to pass below grade material and incoherent essays as acceptable.  Homework has become passe. Appropriate behavior, correct and comprehensive learning have been replaced by social and emotional learning. 

 

This “anything goes” behavior is evident in our political interest groups. Recently the progressive leaders are openly stating that criminal acts should be overlooked. Even fines and jailtime should be decreased or eliminated. The progressives are blaming “white supremacists” who should be punished for their privileged backgrounds while blacks are supposed to receive “equity” through reparations. Neither example of white privilege or black repression has to be specified or verified for reparations to be received by blacks and punish whites for their ancestors’ unfair behavior towards those blacks. This formula for equity is an injustice to both races. This is an injustice to many other American citizens who worked hard to accumulate their assets. 

 

Rewarding destructive behavior is also advancing injustice. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is praised for “peaceful demonstrations” by the democrat media while looting and burning inner cities and physically attacking citizens is overlooked. BLM demonstrators are reported to be advancing “social justice.” The pretense that they are committed to social justice for blacks while they are destroying black neighborhoods is ludicrous. The self-proclaimed mission of BLM, by its three female Marxists founders, is to replace the free market with government control of the economy. Incredibly BLM has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize after a summer of destructive rioting while receiving billions of dollars from corporate donors. 

 

During President Obama’s first term, he went on an apology tour throughout the world. He made it clear that the U.S. was a selfish, corrupt and racist nation that had to change. He did not get any concrete agreements from any foreign leaders to ensure peace in the world. Yet, he received a Nobel Peace Prize for his promised Hope and Change. On the other hand, President Trump negotiated with middle east leaders that produced a signed peace initiative. President Trump did not receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his concrete results produced by his straight business approach.

 

Citizens who believe in old-fashioned justice, according to the progressive elites, are deplorable fools.  Mainstream Americans that believe in good and evil, God and Satan, and freedom and opportunity based on right and wrong behavior are being cancelled for their traditional beliefs and need to be “de-programmed” according to media celebrities. Our past traditional values are now anti-American according to democrat and social media.

 

Democrats are turning our culture upside down by supporting irresponsible behavior. People who excessively drug, drink, eat, or abuse are given excuses for this self-destructive behavior. Many use pharmaceutical drugs that relieve the symptoms but do not correct irresponsible behavior. Adults and children’s inappropriate behaviors are labeled to excuse their actions or drugged to control but not to correct the behavior. It is no longer acceptable to identify causes as it might offend the adult who is complicit as well as the perpetrator.

 

Without appropriate societal punishment or rewards it is not possible to establish immoral or moral standards. When everything is equal regardless of its outcome, evil is encouraged to run rampant. When good and bad are strictly defined and enforced, stability and goodness reign supreme.

 

The idea that people are responsible for their actions encourages them to understand that they have the power to determine their own destiny.

 

When elites dictate to the people through reeducation (brainwashing) and cancelling their means to survive, people will either fight back or submit to a life of tyranny. If personal responsibility and freedom are extinguished, we are left with brain-dead sheeple.

ONLINE INFLUENCERS ARE CORRUPTING WHAT IS “NORMAL”

 ONLINE INFLUENCERS ARE CORRUPTING WHAT IS “NORMAL”

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

 

Most parents have a love and hate affair with online media. They intuitively are concerned with the impact of computer games, music lyrics, movies and online personalities that their children are exposed to without their personal approval. Yet, they are between a rock and a hard place. 

At least their children are safe in their homes, or are they?

 

Often conscientious parents attempt to monitor what the child is doing on the Internet, but it is virtually impossible to do this effectively. The reality is the child becomes more sophisticated in navigating the Internet and is being educated by peers as to the more popular, provocative child sites. On these platforms their minds are more often altered by “influencers” that are beyond the parental knowledge and experience. 

 

Today’s parents love their child as much as any other generation. The difference for them is time. They have little time to devote to their own children after meeting all their professional and domestic obligations. This leaves many parents exhausted and unenthusiastic about life. To disguise their lack of devotion to their children modern parents tend to appease them instead of instructing them. They choose to deflect problem issues by stressing conciliation instead of confronting them until a comprehensive solution is developed.

 

Often parents have less power to train their children how to act than do today’s online “influencers.” These influential individuals are unusual people who stand out specifically because they are outside the norm. Influencers attract youngsters and young adults because they act and appear different than most of their peers. James Charles is an American Internet personality. He is the first male ambassador for Cover Girl Makeup on his YouTube channel. He is an Internet “influencer” along with Ian Jeffries: Instagram pop star, Katie Perry: pop singer and many others known to most youngsters that spend their time sneaking onto their electronic devices to be “cool.”

 

The “influencer” is a “people person,” friendly, unusual, outgoing, who enjoys being the center of attention. These “influencers” are outside the norm of normal behavior. They have to be unusual to capture the attention and interest of their young followers. Their “schtick” is to be almost absurd but not cross the line of being a total freak. Just freaky and intriguing enough to be followed by millions of youngsters. 

 

Most circuses have been “cancelled” by animal rights and other activists. The unusual circus people: the giant, fat lady, tattooed lady, midget or other freaky individuals are gone. These individuals were interesting due to their unusualness. They stretched the boundaries of what was normal. Now the absence of the circus has been replaced by YouTube bizarre videos and unique, strange influencers. 

 

These Internet personalities should be a concern for every parent who have traditionally been the most influential people in raising their children. One of the most important function of the parent was to teach the child what conformed to normal and what was outside the boundaries. This helped the child better navigate the real world and unite with a number of others. The understanding and appreciation of behaviors in particular situations was one of the primary responsibilities of the parents. This assisted the children to be seen as fully functioning adults.

 

The 1960 cultural revolution, schools relaxed standards, Hollywood’s sexualizing movies and television and social media have blurred and transformed our moral values and expectations. Currently added to this list are the Internet influencers who are targeting one of the most vulnerable groups in our society, youngsters. 

 

Most young children are vulnerable to famous, young Internet super-stars. They are easily directed to follow the directives of the “star.” Many of their young viewers believe it is the perfect path for them to follow for their own future. These youngsters already are addicted to the Internet, playing games and think they potentially will be paid millions of dollars for living their dream. The problem is few will develop a platform that has sufficient number of followers to provide an income based on 3-5 cents for each view. These over-inflated-ego youngsters have an unrealistic view of their future.

 

Yet these influencers could never have had an impact on these youngsters without their parent’s complicity. The parents have to be more demanding of children to contribute to the family and face reality head-on to learn life’s lessons. Only by being educated in pragmatism can our children learn what is realistic and what is fantasy. 

 

Parents: do your job and bring back reality! The earlier you start, the better for your child’s future.
