** 03-Jun-2020 World View: Pariah
Every time you post something, it's more idiotic than the last time.
I don't know how you keep it up.
You wrote, "LBJ and MLK allied for the black vote. Nixon started the
Southern Strategy as the obvious response."
In your child-like mind, you apparently thought that describing
something as "obvious" was all you need to do, without further
justification. So you imagine me thinking, "Oh, Butler says it's
'obvious,' so it must be true." You're like the Bellman in Lewis
Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" who says, "What I tell you three
times is true." For you it's "What I say is 'obvious' is true."
You're making a claim that's ridiculous on its face. For over a
century, the Democrats through the KKK were lynching, raping,
torturing and killing blacks in the South, with all the powerful
emotions that go along with those activities. But oh, according to
you, all those powerful emotions dissipated when LBJ and MLK made a
deal, and OVERNIGHT, the Southern Democrats no longer held those
powerful emotions. And you're saying that's "obvious," because of
Nixon's Southern Strategy. That narrative is so patently ridiculous
that only an idiot could believe it. A century of powerful emotions
do not disappear overnight because of a piece of paper. Those
emotions haven't ended today, as we can see in the case of Derek
Chauvin, who is clearly possessed by those emotions today.
I have a big advantage over you. You're completely baffled by what
I'm thinking, and have no idea about it. But I know exactly what
you're thinking, since I try to watch CNN for a while every day. I
just have to hear what idiotic thing Don Lemon is saying, and I
automatically know what idiotic thing Bob Butler is thinking. Fox
News has analysts from all sides of the issues, but CNN shuts out any
analyst that doesn't follow the Democratic Party line. So people like
you have no clue what's actually going on in the world, while I do.
That gives me a big advantage.
Well, I'm really not familiar with Nixon's Southern Strategy, so I
decided to check it out. I ended up linking to:
*** The myth of Nixon’s ‘Southern Strategy’ - Dinesh D'Souza
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/402...n-strategy
However, I'm not particularly "enamored of" Dinesh D'Souza as you
claim. I'm actually just vaguely aware of him. He's one of dozens or
perhaps hundreds of analysts across the political spectrum whose views
I hear all the time on Fox News, BBC, Al-Jazeera, CNN, MS-NBC, RFI,
and others. And if I recall correctly, the few times I've seen him on
TV, I haven't always agreed with everything he says. Generational
Dynamics successfully analyzes historical and current events and is
right pretty much 100% of the time, while ideological right-wingers
and left-wingers are usually wrong around 50% of the time. So D'Souza
is not particularly special to me, and certainly not always right,
although your child-like brain is pleased to think he is.
The reason that I linked to that document is because of its content.
It described the history of Nixon's Southern Strategy, gave all the
relevant facts, and responded to your "obvious" claim, which "obviously"
was ridiculous, as I explained above.
Apparently I was very successful. That article seems to have freaked
you out completely, as I've noted a while ago when I described how
Leon Festinger's Cognitive Dissonance was completely deranging your
mind. The D'Souza article must have challenged your entire "obvious"
world view on multiple levels, because you never even referenced the
content of the article. NOT ONE WORD.
Instead, you desperately tried to defend your deeply held beliefs
(which is what Festinger happens when deeply held beliefs are proven
wrong by reality), and you went on a wild personal attack spree,
attacking D'Souza and of course me. You use phrases like "blind
ideology" (or was it "ideological blindness" - I forget which) to
describe me, since that's exactly the phrase that applies to you.
You're like CNN, rejecting any view that doesn't match the Democratic
Party talking points.
I'm not like you. I try to evaluate content rather than ideology,
although as I've said you've posted crap so many times that I have a
hard time evaluating any of your content.
Let me give you an example. A couple of days ago, I wanted to get
further information on the history of the KKK, and I came across an
SPLC document:
*** Ku Klux Klan - A History of Racism and Violence
https://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/...Racism.pdf
Now if I were like you, then I would automatically reject this
document completely, since the SPLC is a far left hate group, one of
the worst. But instead I took the time to read through it and learn
from it, and decided that despite the left-wing bias and selection of
topics, it contains a lot of interesting historical information that
fills in a number of blanks. I can use that information to compare
against other sources, and develop a complete non-ideological picture.
I would treat the D'Souza article the same way. So that's how I
operate, completely the opposite of how you operate.
So I'd like to take this one step further and address the personal
attacks that you have directed at me, because I found them to be
particularly interesting personal attacks.
I find this very amusing. I have no idea whether D’Souza is
considered a pariah, but you seem to think that his views are rejected
by Republicans. This doesn't surprise me in the least, but it does
contradict your previous claims that he's a right-wing ideologue.
You also call me a pariah, which is true. You say that I'm eccentric,
which is also probably true. But it's for exactly the reason you
reject -- that like the Biblical Jeremiah and the mythical Cassandra
and historical Winston Churchill -- I'm hated and shunned because I'm
eccentric and because I'm accurately foretelling events that you don't
want to hear.
I've previously talked about this. My very first Generational
Dynamics analysis on May 1, 2003, when president George Bush published
his "Mideast Roadmap to Peace," which described the details of a
two-state solution, and I predicted that it will never happen. The
Generational Dynamics prediction was that the plan would fail because
the Jews and the Arabs would be refighting the 1948 war that followed
the partitioning of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel.
I was ridiculed for that prediction, in e-mail, in person, and on the
TFT forum. And since it was my first major prediction, I knew that it
could be wrong, and that within a few months Yasser Arafat and Arial
Sharon might be shaking hands on a two-state solution deal. I had
said that wouldn't happen, but if it did, then I would have abandoned
Generational Dynamics, and led a much happier life. And of course I
was right, and all the people who ridiculed me were wrong. Dead
wrong.
That kind of thing has happened over and over -- I'm right and the
people who criticized and ridicule me turn out to be wrong. If that
weren't happening, you can be sure that I would have given up
Generational Dynamics long ago. But I'm obsessively driven to
continue down this "extremely eccentric" self-destructive path because
I'm always right, and everyone else is always wrong. If you want to
psychoanalyze me, start from there. And then I have to watch as
people, even people that I've known for years, hate me and shun me.
That's the Life Path that Fate has chosen for me.
In 17 years, I have over 6,000 articles on my web site, making
thousands of predictions and analyses for hundreds of countries and
societies, and they've all turned out to be right. If that weren't
true, and if my analyses started turning out to be false, then I'd
give up Generational Dynamics, and probably live a happier life. But
I haven't been so lucky as to be wrong. Instead I'm always right,
which is extremely unlucky.
You, on the other hand, are much luckier than I am. You're wrong all
the time, so you're much happier than I am. You have absolutely no
clue what's going on in the world. That's "obvious" every time you
post something. Your ignorance is so vast it could fill the Grand
Canyon. I know what your level of knowledge is because I know that
you live in the CNN bubble, and CNN is a total sewer.
So let me at least make this clear to you: We're headed for a major
global financial crisis and WW III with China, no matter who wins the
election. This is 100% certain. You can live in your fantasy world
where you "anticipate much noise between Trump and China" but no war,
but you're dead wrong. But unlike me you're happy, and that's all
that's important.
And I have some other good news for you. By the time that I'm proven
100% correct, I'll almost certainly be dead, so you won't have to
apologize to me for being wrong.
