Anti-White and Anti-Male White Guy

Colonel Mark Wooten of the USAF Civil Air Patrol says the only guidance he puts out there for (them) is to “stop hiring middle aged white people…especially dudes.” pic.twitter.com/KF52Q8tWIH

Dave Griffey at Daffy Thoughts gives us an example of anti-white and anti-male bigotry, with ageism tossed in, hilariously peddled by a middle aged white guy who most definitely is not volunteering to give his job to someone who is not white, male or middle aged.

Ever since John Lennon sat in his multi-million dollar English estate with a custom decorated Rolls-Royce in the driveway and asked the world to imagine no possessions, proxy martyrdom has been all the rage.  What is proxy martyrdom?  That’s my term for people willing to latch on to a righteous cause that demands sacrifice from anyone other than the people latching on to that righteous cause.  Consider wealthy celebrities flying in their private jets to the latest Climate Change conference. Or a rich and famous musician calling for a world with no possessions from the midst of his mansion.  Or anything to do with population control. Has anyone ever sacrificed for the cause of thinning the human herds? 

In fact, much of our modern activism is rather light on self-sacrifice while being heavy on self-righteousness.  Like the bold hero above.  And no, going out and looting, stealing televisions and laptops does not count as sacrifice.  

It is worth noting that the cause he is advocating is becoming common.  There is a growing number of activists calling for things like ‘hire fewer white people’, or ‘don’t hire white men’ or ‘don’t this or that with this or that group.’  Often it is called for by people in those very groups.  For example, notice when white liberals beseech organizations to hire fewer people who look like them.  In many cases, those same white liberals have noticeably white hair.  Meaning their careers are comfortably in the rear view mirrors.  Whatever hiring changes come as a result of their pleas might impact millions of white people, especially young white people, but it won’t impact them.  Proxy martyrs. 

The best way to approach this is to ask yourself just what they sacrificed when you see someone bravely facing the applause over something like antiracism, or gender, or causes dealing with sex, or climate change, or anything for that matter.  Ask yourself if anyone will have to sacrifice.  Then ask if the individual banging the drum for the cause is one who has, or will, have to sacrifice for the cause.  If there are people who might have to pay a price for the cause, but it’s not the one boasting about supporting the cause, then it’s best to walk away and ignore.  Find a real hero, because it ain’t them. 

Go here to comment.  Colonel Wooten is a military bureaucrat.  They are usually terrified of saying the wrong thing and losing the status they have gained by climbing the bureaucratic ladder.  Wooten casually expresses his bigotry because he assumes that is what his superiors want to hear, and in the woke military he is totally correct.  That such bigotry is immoral and illegal matters not a whit to Wooten or his superiors.
