Victimhood in America

When Adolph Hitler set upon his goal of ridding Europe of Jews, he first had to convince Germans that the Jews were the cause of all of their problems.  He did this by making Germans believe that they were victims; that the sole cause of any and all of their problems was the Jews.    He argued that his policies were not anti-Jewish, they were pro-German.    He wasn’t really motivated by hatred and racism, it was all patriotism and his desire to protect the real Germans.  

"One of the principle reasons for the legislation in Germany is the necessity to combat Bolshevism. This legislation is not anti-Jewish, but pro-German. The rights of Germans are thereby to be protected against destructive Jewish influences. . . . The Jews who formed less than one per cent of the population tried to monopolize the cultural leadership of the people and flooded the intellectual professions, such as, for example, jurisprudence and medicine. The influence of this intellectual Jewish class in Germany had everywhere a disintegrating effect.”

In 1922 in a conversation with Josef Hell,  Hell asked Hitler what he intended doing if he ever had full freedom of action against the Jews, and his response was:

"If I am ever really in power, the destruction of the Jews will be my first and most important job. As soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected, for example, in Munich on the Marienplatz; as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, and they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew!"

In the end, Hitler’s power was given to him by the people of Germany and some 7,000,000 people were ultimately murdered; it is estimated that 70-85 million people perished in WWII.   The people that gave this power to Hitler and allowed these atrocities to happen were for the most part decent human beings and patriotic Germans.  They had been convinced that their problems were caused by a select few; that THEY were the victims, so they stood by as Hitler murdered with impunity.   

Such is the nature of propaganda. It’s easy to manipulate people if you use fear. All of us are victims of our own decisions and lifestyle choices, but nobody wants to hear that. It’s much easier to convince people that their problems are caused by someone else.

The parallels to the current state of affairs in this country are scarily similar.    For two years we have been bombarded with talking heads and fanatic politicians telling us that the pandemic is not true; that it was created as some kind of master plan to defeat Donald Trump, thus making victims of Conservative Americans.  We have been told that masks made us victims because they take away our liberty and freedom; that restrictions on restaurants, open meetings, and theaters were designed to make us victims by depriving us the right to congregate with our friends and neighbors.     Now it is the vaccine that is victimizing us, because its true purpose is not any kind of immunity to COVID, but population control, or magnetism, or satellite tracking, or who knows what else.  

Critical Race Theory is widely condemned by White Americans, not because they understand it, but because they are convinced its teaching makes victims out of White children.   Not unlike the arguments used by Southern Whites in their fight against segregation.  White people would be victims if blacks were allowed to attend the same schools, lunch counters, bathrooms or allowed to drink from the same water fountains.  Segregation would lead to miscegenation and the destruction of Southern womanhood and White culture.   No decent white person wanted to be a victim and the evil black savages were plotting the downfall of the white race. 

It’s time for Americans, especially White Americans, to wake up and understand that they are being manipulated, just as Hitler did the Germans.   We are not victims.  Sometimes life is fair and sometimes it’s not. It just works out that way.  It doesn’t matter which President is in office; we don’t always get what we want, but it’s no reason to blame any one group when life doesn’t go exactly the way we planned.

Why are white Americans so eager to be manipulated and play the victim?

 

Update: 5 Jan 21. Jenna Ryan, the Texas realtor who went to the Capitol on January 6 is now complaining she’s been treated like a Jew in WWII Germany.

In March of last year, she tweeted “Sorry, I have blonde hair, white skin, a great job, a great future, and I’m not going to jail,”

She was later sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Now she likens her situation to Jews in German saying: "And so, that is the epitome of a scapegoat. Just like they did that to the Jews in Germany. Those were scapegoats. And I believe that people who are Caucasian are being turned into evil in front of the media.”

One more poor white American victim! Poor, poor Jenna.
