“Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
“There’s something good for everyone.”
Our grandparents see such a scenario and decide correctly that visitors at their doorstep will not get answers or invitations.
“Catch more flies with honey than vinegar.”
“Always give the benefit of doubt first.”
Some of them sound like good advice to you, right?
But are they actually good advice? Are these true truths sufficient moral guidance for children? Is that all they need to know before you send them to jump out of the nest?
The danger of strangers
Or do they need to hear these too?
“Don’t talk to strange adults.”
“Beware of anyone looking at the suspicious person until you deem it safe.”
“Don’t automatically open the front door just because someone knocks.”
“Don’t forget that there are wolves in the sheep’s clothes.”
The West, particularly the United States, has been the subject of psychological manipulation projects for at least 60 years. We have succeeded in dulling our God-given natural instincts. It not only ignored us, it convinced us that we actively distrust our intuition.
This was done by reconstructing the usual instinctive responses as “prejudice” and “coolness.”
Big lie
I am not proposing any grand, conscious conspiracy from governments or shadowy organisations. I don’t think this project is completely “planned” by criminal masterminds.
Instead, I think that cultural forces (activist groups, politicians, media, universities) collectively acquired cultural promotions that will benefit their interests at your expense. They make money and give you cultural empowerment from your cooperation with their projects to convince you that you have to be “nice” and “empathetic” to the groups they like to promote. It doesn’t matter if this is financially, emotionally or physically safe.
In short, you lie and now you believe it.
When you cross the street to avoid a group of five young black men at night, you think you’re a “racist” and “bad person.” If an illegal alien is deported and you don’t want to live in the motel next to your daughter’s school, you’re “Xenophobe.” If you don’t want a man who has grown up through a public bathroom or a daughter’s college locker room, you’re “transphobic.”
This is the left-wing idea, but not only Torment the left. Just as the majority of today’s women, including many on the right, see the world through a feminist lens (men are responsible for women’s problems), many on the right can erase intuition from fear of being considered “despicable.”
Who’s going there?
Let’s take a look at real life examples. To understand this, you need to do so Watch this short video Doorbell camera. It’s only 40 seconds long, but you’ll need to see it to follow where you’ll go next.
The scene is a front porch in a well-maintained suburban neighborhood. A black woman and her young daughter walk to a porch and ring the bell. The woman speaks to the camera and insists that she wants to borrow some sugar. No response, she speaks more:
“You don’t need to answer, but um, I know you can hear me. I can hear you inside.”
note that.
There is no response yet, so the woman stops pushing the doorbell and starts to physically wrap around the door. The video ends at this point.
Variations of how people react to this video have something to do with me. It’s obvious that something’s off about this woman’s behavior, but many seem to believe it is “rude” or “strange” because it doesn’t answer the door. It is a direct reversal of reality.
Just one glass of sugar?
University professor and podcaster Wilfred Riley (disclosure: I know Will online, appearing on shows with him, I like and admire him), Responded to the post It shows that the video shows “the most sane and traditional interactions” and that right-wing people who respond badly to it are “panic” with something completely benign.
“This is literally a neighbor who wants to borrow a cup of sugar,” writes Riley.
No, it’s not. And there was nothing “sane and traditional” about this situation.
Through this 40-second video, check out “Tells” and alerts to potential dangers.
- The neighborhood seems to be middle class. The woman who appears is wearing pajamas, a T-shirt and has a shower cap on her head. She claims to be the “neighbor” of the homeowner, which is unlikely (and unlikely). Yes, the fact that she is black, and that she is dressed like that, makes her less likely to live in the neighborhood. It is not “racism” that we notice this. That’s just obvious common sense.
So we already have reason to believe that door knocks are not honest.
- Will the “neighbor” who has never seen before come to your house to rent sugar? Really? For onlookers like Wilfred Riley, this seems normal. For me it seems to be the old cliché use of ham fist by someone who is angled.
- Beware of the attitude and implicit aggression of qualifications to what the door knock woman says. “I know you can hear me” and “I can hear you inside.” Does it sound like what a kind neighbor would say if you wanted to get a favor from you? I’ll do it you Do you take that tone with a stranger you’ve been seeking help? It’s not just incredible, and in honor of my friend Will, this should not be difficult to identify.
- It’s possible that the woman really had to stay home alone with her daughter and take her to ask for sugar to make cookies. But that’s not the case. This chick is likely to have an angle for money, and she uses her daughter to make her look harmless, melting her heart. While none of us can know for certain, the interpretation “I am sure she means well” is not a reasonable choice in this scenario.
Intuition of being castrated
There’s no point in writing this column decades ago. Because the majority of people had common sense.
They were not convinced that their instincts were false and their instincts were nothing more than prejudice. Our grandparents see such a scenario and decide correctly that visitors at their doorstep will not get answers or invitations.
However, modern Westerners castrated their own intuition. IQ has nothing to do with that. We all fear being accused of being “discriminatory,” so even the brilliant, the average, and the dimly lit people have shut down their gut responses.
It is worth thinking about how “discrimination” simply means “choosing multiple options.” Modern Western culture – awakened culture – does not want you to make judgments or make choices. Do you really think that’s for our profit?
Of course, this tableau on a suburban porch was not truly dangerous or remarkable. But it may have. And the attitude taken by people who think homeowners were wrong is the same as taking advantage of or killing nice people.
“A gift of terror”
It’s the easiest to see in extreme cases. Travis Lewis, a black man, killed Martha McKay’s mother and cousin in 1996 (McKay was white). Under the spell “There’s something good for everyone,” Martha McKay becomes friends with her mother’s murderer.
26 years later, Lewis also killed Martha McKay. In the same house where he killed her mother.
The naiveness and ease of cheating of the terminal will hurt you, exploit or kill you and your family. Modern Americans, especially white Americans, suffer very badly from this. Some will only learn at the last moment when you realize that the lovely guy they wanted to help is trying to pull the trigger on their face.
You don’t have to be one of these people. I have a prescription for treatment: Reading the groundbreaking book by Gavin de Becker.A gift of terror. ”
Growing up in a violent and unstable home, De Becker has become a personal security expert at the world’s premiere. “The Gift of Fear” takes readers in real-life scenarios, shows you the “tells” you need to be careful about, and guides you from the idea of self-invasion that shuts down your gut instincts.
Read it before it’s too late.
