I only read the first sentence of this Teal Dear and I know where it’s going so I stopped.
Dear, Hitler Fan-Club and bigoted Jerks of all stripes; Your “heroes” force millions into chattel slavery over dumb things like skin color.
You steamroll over other countries and cultures so you could get their stuff (when simply co-existing, simply asking and trading would’ve sufficed and been a lot easier).
Then your “heroes” steamroll all over Europe, slaughter MILLIONS of non-combatant civilians in death camps, slave labor camps and mass executions for the “crime” of existing, plus other stuff too numerous to mention….
….and somehow you’re the “victims” in this?!
********
Time and time again….the demographics you hate prove your ethnicist theories wrong and rather than reconsider your beliefs, you double-down by….
* Stealing their accomplishments & taking credit for their stuff (Numerous female scientists, Millicent Patrick and her ‘Gil-Man’ design, etc.).
* Destroying their prosperous towns & communities (‘Black Wall Street’ in Tulsa OK. and ol’ Rosewood, FL.) or doing some City Planning mojo to ruin them economically (One example; The East Side of Buffalo, Originally ‘The Polish Section’ but became ‘The Black Section’ after the Poles got ‘White Flight-itis’. Was still doing okay until city planners decided to build a bunch of roadways in a manner that hurt them….they’ve been ‘The ghetto’ ever since. In fact, many instances of ‘Urban Renewal’ have been this).
* Rejecting their sound science and accomplishments to your greater detriment (Medieval Jew’s cleanliness and lack of ‘Anti-Cat’ superstition in the Middle Ages and Renaissance Era preventing plague, Jewish scientists and scholars in favor of your bogus ‘Deusche Physik’, etc.).
* Ignoring their accomplishments and, being ungrateful bastards by persecuting them for being a “certain way” after they saved your bacon (Alan Turing).
* Persecuting them for being successful in the few careers you allow them to have and building conspiracy theories based on it (Jews and Financial and the Entertainment Industries).
….All of the above proves that bigotry is not based on mistaken belief but a desire to hog, bully, dominate and lord over. Deep-down you KNOW all people are created equal and everyone else is just as good, strong, smart, etc. as white heterosexual gentile masculine males.
********
When that TRUTH is BEFORE YOUR EYES, you do all you can to squash it!
Colonialism wasn’t about the need or want of resources and luxuries, it was about conquering and dominance….same with a lot of wars over resources over the millennia….
* Ghengis Khan could’ve been content with ruling his tribe and doing a lot of trade with the other nations. Instead; “I’m gunna take over the world!”.
* American Settlers could have co-existed with the Indigenous Americans, simply trading, farming and bring together both United States and Indigenous American Nations as one. Instead, there was “KILL ’EM ALL AND TAKE THEIR LAND!”. Similar concerning other lands and the slavery thing.
* Why the wars in Iraq when “Hey, Saddam! Let’s be oil trade partners!” would’ve sufficed? Sticking to hunting down Bin Laden in Afghanistan (where we had him cornered at the time) made a lot more sense.
….In a nutshell; MOST wars in history were unnecessary. War should be a very last resort, life-or-death, self-defense, “all nonviolent options have failed” thing. Instead; It’s a Patriarchal Macho Weenie-Measuring Dominance Contest (even when the people waging war are queens like Elizabeth I or Margaret Thatcher)….An episode of WHO WANTS TO BE A DEITY?!
You uphold your stuff with lies, photoshopping, quote-mining, video re-editing, etc. If you have to that to show “The Truth” then you KNOW IT’S A LIE BUT YOU DO IT ANYWAY BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT TRUTH OR GENUINE FEAR BUT DOMINANCE AND GETTING AN “EDGE” OVER OTHERS!
If you have a poor self-image and/or not much in life, wonk on yourselves. It’s not THAT hard. Don’t drag others down. To the Antisocial Set (Psychopaths & Sociopaths incapable of empathy, guilt or feelings for others), see it as “Be nice to others so people will be more likely to like you”. Kindness & altruism, even if done for selfish reasons, is preferable to being a monster to others.
