Western Guilt Western Guilt Western Guilt, or White Guilt is a theme favoured by communist subversives. It is part of Cultural Marxism's attack on civilization, the proposition that White Men colonized Africa and other places and did the natives down. It uses our compassion, our feelings for the weak, the down trodden while our victims are Noble Savages. Therefore it follows we must help them, forgive them their idiosyncrasies, import them, treat them better than Englishmen and generally pander to them. We must Atone for evil done by our fathers. Our Altruism is a character defect being abused by Zionist crazies, by unscrupulous rogues. They turned it into Pathological Altruism. They did the same to Russians; their character defect, their weakness was vodka. R. W. Johnson is an emeritus fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, who lives in Cape Town explains guilt about slavery, colonialism, and the mistreatment of people of color It is rather like the idea of Original sin, that we are born guilty. The counterpoint is black rage, the hatred often incited by Jews to manipulate people using front men like Nelson Mandela & Martin Luther King, which leads to power, for Jews of course. It is a theme advanced in universities throughout Christendom, in all humanities departments, the soft options. The main stream media push it too. Like all good propaganda stories it has elements of truth. The men who left England and went out into the big, wide world were adventurers. Fame and fortune were the objectives in the main. Fortunes were carved out as well as an empire. It was not always pretty. Imperial objectives changed. In its middle to latter days it was more of a civilizing mission. We took Christianity and decent government to Rhodesia. Now it is run by Robert Mugabe, a vicious black Marxist thug who was marketed by the BBC precisely because he was a black Marxist. The left have little to say about him, his murders, his thieving, his Racism and his destruction of the country. He is part of their agenda. But communist subversives hated Ian Smith when he was its prime minister. They broke his government by using sanctions. Subversives look at places where there were natives and it is easy to claim that we treated them badly. India is one such. We gave it a system of law which was often totally incorruptible; very much a first. We outlawed Suttee, the custom of burning new made widows with their husbands. It seemed a reasonable thing to do but it left a lot of women poor by Indian standards. Indian poverty means very poor. This may be why suttee still happens. Interference can mean unintended consequences. Brits in India discovered, outlawed and suppressed Thugee. the secret murder of travellers by strangulation in order to rob them. The Wikipedia admits that QUOTE The defeat of the Thuggees [ sic, try Thugs ] played a part in securing Indian loyalty to the Raj UNQUOTE. They also worked against Dacoity, which is armed robbery by establishing a police force known as the Thugee and Dacoity Department. Our departure from India led to separation. It is now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Partition of India led to migration by millions and 'only a million' or so dead. The Wikipedia settles for a lower estimate. Nobody knows within the odd few thousand. But the left wanted it so the killings did not matter. One blot on the imperial record was the Opium trade. Poppy was grown in India, made into opium, transported on to Hong Kong, thence the Chinese mainland and an enthusiastic consumer base. It was a growth industry in its day, making Jardine & Matheson rich. They were Scotch rogues. The firm is still in business although it has cleaned up its act. Opium dealing was taken over by David Sassoon, a Jew from Baghdad who did a runner when he became very unpopular. The Wikipedia does not tell us why he was hated but excessive greed is a distinct possibility. His dominance of poppy farming and the opium trade tells me that he was more interested in money than morals. Perhaps the major point to consider is who is telling the story and why. Consider some major issues and their media treatment:- The huge Jewish influence in the Bolshevik Revolution. Almost totally blacked out. German treatment of Jews up to 1945. Maximized. German treatment of Jews after 1945. Minimized - pandering to Jews running the Holocaust® Industry has cost German tax payers billions. Jews' treatment of Germans after the war with some 1.7 million murdered - blacked out - see Eisenhower's Death Camps Jewish treatment of Palestinians from 1948 to the present. Minimized. The huge Jewish influence in breaking the government of South Africa - blacks won - we were told. Jews still control gold and diamonds. Blacked out. Jews Trading in Black African Slaves - see The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews. Jews were the perpetrators. We get blamed. In each case Jews are involved as victims or more often as perpetrators. You might ask just why they have been kicked out of so many places, some 109 of them in the last 1500 years - see Jewish Expulsions on the point. The Occidental Observer Explains Altruism Being Abused Courage Courage overcomes Fear. It matters, especially Moral Courage. It is helped by an understanding of the evil arrayed against us. Guilt Taps into deep emotions and drives. Someone explains. It is not as simple as it seems. Jews Use Western Guilt Western guilt is a psychological tool used by Jews to destroy civilization. A simple idea. Believe it? Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. Shame And Fear, Two Emotions Being Used To Destroy UsQUOTE A correspondent from the UK recently wrote: I am still very fearful and very programmed…to the extent that I still cannot stomach supporting outfits like the British National Party (I’m English). I’m not saying this to you as a criticism of the BNP, but as a psychological point in that, I am totally committed to a lifetime of fighting for our cause. I see it. I’ve seen it all. But so intensive has the propaganda been in my own country about parties acting there, that I am still, sort of, compartmentalized….in that if my mind turns to the BNP I start feeling shame and fear. Shame for thinking ‘fascist’ thoughts, and fear for being found out. Fear and shame. Fear because of the very real threat that people who publicly support organizations like the BNP or ideas linked with them will be victimized by losing their jobs, their families, their friends, and their place in the world. And shame-the emotion that wells up because so many of us have internalized attitudes of guilt about having a racial identity or pursuing (entirely legitimate) racial/ethnic interests. It’s a problem that seems especially acute for White people: We tend to create moral/ideological communities where the ingroup is defined in moral terms. To violate these norms is to remove oneself from one’s social moorings-evolutionary death in the environments we evolved in....... The links among Breivik, contemporary European nationalist political parties, and Nazism are pretty much entirely a creation of the media. These parties have uniformly condemned Breivik and National Socialism; they have eschewed racialist rhetoric in favor of cultural arguments, and many have done their best to be seen as philo-Semitic. But it remains a very effective tactic-effective even among people who have “spent a lifetime fighting for the cause.” The media remains a very powerful source for defining the boundaries of the moral ingroup.UNQUOTE Western Guilt is a weapon being used against us with great success by cunning rogues who run politics, politicians, education, the media etc. This is a Culture War run by the Invisible Enemy.

That is the first step toward an answer. What, who, how, why - are the questions to start us on the way. Truth is a weapon; so are lies. Black Guilt - a counter pointQUOTEWe did not start the slave trade in Africa. It was thriving long before we got near the place. Buying them from blacks and exporting them to somewhere nicer in America was major trading. Jews were heavily involved even if they did not have de facto monopolies. See The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews on the point. That was written by Tony Martin, a black man. Alex Kurtagić, who wrote this article reads as fair minded. His reference are genuine.UNQUOTE George Orwell said:- I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.

The Tyranny of Guilt - An Essay on Western Masochism QUOTE In a critique of the West's postcolonial self-flagellating tendencies that is both fascinating and repellent, prize-winning French novelist and essayist Bruckner ( The Tears of a White Man: Compassion as Contempt ) offers a broad defense of neoliberal democracy as a force for progress, enlightenment, and emancipation. In polemical tones, the author identifies how the aftermath of WWII and postcolonial liberation movements spawned a pathology of remorse and guilt corrupting the European self-image that was maintained by its own intelligentsia and by a variety of immigrants, Islamists, and Arabs. Though the book offers insightful analyses of how discourses of guilt and self-hatred can serve to mask self-glorification and assertions of cultural superiority, it is marred by a monolithic, often Franco-centric view of Europe, a tendency toward overgeneralization, and an almost total disregard for how global economic concerns and practices are linked to international dissatisfactions with the behavior of Western democracies. Nonetheless, as a work that takes seriously the challenges posed by multiculturalism and the changing face of Europe, it is a worthy attempt to resuscitate the ideals of progressive enlightenment, political action, and civic pride.

Review Mr. Bruckner cites literary figures, journalists and intellectuals throughout the Western world making the case that whatever punishment the West has been made to suffer--e.g., the horrors of 9/11--are merely well deserved. -- Wall Street Journal That Bruckner's talents defy classification might help to account for the relatively understated reception of his work on this side of the Atlantic. This situation is likely to change soon: along with The Tyranny of Guilt, Princeton University Press will also publish Perpetual Euphoria. . . . Bruckner is a bold and eloquent and important thinker. -- Richard Wolin, New Republic When it comes to the sweaty metabolism of guilt, Bruckner is perhaps the most accomplished anatomist since Nietzsche. (He is also, like Nietzsche, an extraordinary stylist, commanding a sinewy, memorably epigrammatic prose.) . . . Ferociously intelligent, passionately argued, stylistically brilliant. -- Roger Kimball, National Review Bruckner's book is controversial at times, but he does a wonderful job of combining passionate writing with a well-argued critique of modern Europe. -- Library Journal[Pascal Bruckner's] angry book could change a whole civilization's opinion, if only that civilization had sense enough to pay attention. -- Robert Fulford, National Posting the end, Bruckner's real theme is something deeper and broader: Western guilt and the resulting lack of self-belief. Again, he sees the origins of this in a guilty conscience, and there is an echo here of debates sixty or more years ago over Communism. -- Geoffrey Wheatcroft, National Interest[M]agnificent. -- Standpoint Magazine These provocative statements undergird Bruckner's brilliant polemic arguing that European remorse for the sins of imperialism, fascism, and racism has gripped the continent to the point of stifling its creativity, destroying its self-confidence, and depleting its optimism. -- Daniel Pipes, National Review Online Bruckner shows how selective we are about teaching history and how our media is obsessed with only one struggle (Israel/Palestine) while ignoring others (Sudan/Darfur). The essay, translated into clear American English, is provocative, scholarly and accessible. -- Julia Pascal, The Independent In Pascal Bruckner's recent essay The Tyranny of Guilt, we finally get an argument that should move those ready away from the masochistic acceptance of blame for every bad thing in the world. -- Stanley Crouch, Daily Beast Bruckner's originality lies in taking the narcissism of Western guilt and using the old distinction between repentance, where one resolves to find absolution by doing better, and remorse, where one wallows in perpetual penitence, to create a synthesis of great explanatory power. -- Nick Cohen, The Australian The Tyranny of Guilt is one of the landmark books of our time. With humour, depth, breadth, restraint and great insight Bruckner diagnoses an infuriating era. . . . Pascal Bruckner's short book is one of the most vital published in recent years. If the civilisation which it explains survives then I suspect his book will have played as important a part as any piece of writing could in determining that outcome. -- Douglas Murray, Literary Review As the Obama administration and congressional Democrats work to make the United States a more European-style society, The Tyranny of Guilt arrives at the right time (and kudos to Princeton University Press for publishing such a bracing, politically incorrect book). Pascal Bruckner, who remains a man of the left in some sense, recognizes the true genius of the West--and the capacity of its brightest minds to forget that genius or, worse, condemn it. -- Brian Anderson, New Criterion[The Tyranny of Guilt] is a work of bracing lucidity and exhilarating perception. . . . Europe needs to rethink its attitude towards its past if it is to build a more inclusive and dynamic future. As this exceptional book so emphatically shows, guilt is a luxury we can no longer afford. -- Andrew Anthony, The Observer[Bruckner's] basic thesis is that the entire western world is addicted to wallowing in guilt about the past, and that the root of it all is roughly religious--stemming from the notion of original sin. Bruckner's most vivid illustration of our addiction to guilt is that so many thinkers and commentators could greet the murder of 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, with cries of 'we had it coming.' -- Irish Independent Bruckner, a French intellectual, argues brilliantly if controversially it's high time the West lighten up, bring historical perspective to itself, celebrate its more prosperous institutions, and stop hamstringing its relations with other groups. -- Miriam Cosic, Australian As a result of his literary background and immersion in the fiery French essayist tradition, he writes in a sparkling prose, captured well here by his translator, Steven Rendall. The resulting tone is redolent for Anglo-Saxon readers of an earlier era, when social critics like Marx or Nietzsche conveyed their ideas with combative gravitas. Beneath Bruckner's eloquence is a serious message: we remain prisoners of a white guilt whose victim is its supposed beneficiary. . . . [T]his is a stirring and important book. -- Eric Kaufmann, Prospect Western Guilt - PJ Media Lord Multiculturalism. For forty years critics have attacked Western culture in general and its American brand in particular for an assortment of perceived sins. pjmedia.com/victordavishanson/western_guilt - Cached Red Deer Advocate - Western guilt trip Lord Multiculturalism For forty years critics have attacked Western culture in general and its American brand in particular for an assortment of perceived sins. Minority groups have alleged America was singularly racist. Radical feminist have charged that it is sexist and male-dominated. Gays have complained about homophobia. Hard-core Leftists argued that the United States is exploitive and in thrall to a few elite capitalists. All these critiques shared a common philosophy and a shared purpose—other than trying to achieve cosmic victim status as recompense for individual disappointment. First, the charge was that our culture was inordinately dominated by white, heterosexual Christian men, who had systematically oppressed others to maintain their own privilege. Second, the solution was to enact affirmative action, change attitudes, pay fines, create new government programs to remedy the sin, and, in general, to begin ensuring that race, gender, and class “matter” more in American life. But one doctrine united them all—multiculturalism. It preached that America is not a melting bowl of different races that are to be a… truncated (7,467 more characters in archive)
