Why People Act Cruel
Why does the great reset exist? Indifference to the suffering of other people, methinks
Something that happened many years ago percolated up in my head. I remembered the moment when I was sitting in a car, handcuffed to two terrified, desperately screaming Chinese girls, while the officers up front were laughing at our suffering and “roughing” us by driving in such a way that our helpless, restricted bodies were hitting the walls of the car.
I was playing it tough out of the last remaining drops of my habitual Russian strong person pride. I was playing it tough but I was also terrified. And hurting. And terrified. And hurting. And terrified. And the bastards, the grown men taking sick sadistic pleasure in the suffering of three scared, hurting young girls, were laughing and saying various slurs.
What exactly was under the skulls of those men? Probably goo of some sort because it’s impossible to have anything but goo under one’s skull and do something like that.
I suppose it was another day in the office for the officers. I suppose they went home to their wives or whatever, had dinner, watched TV, complained about filthy immigrants, and felt like they were doing their job.
I have no idea about the fate of the two other girls and what got them there. In my case I was set up by an abusive ex, a story I have written about before.
Now, let us put it in a larger context. It was the post-911 world. My in-laws were a conservative family--but at the time I had no idea about American politics, I was focused on my work, personal life, etc.
In 2023, the Russians are the dangerous animal of “the left,” while “the right” are fine with my people and don’t mix us in together with other immigrant filth. Back when my horror story was happening, as I reckon now, the Russians were a suspicious animal to the right, and without a doubt a part of the immigrant filth. Which didn’t help my cause.
My abusive ex—whom I’d fallen for out of sheer loneliness—was calling me “Russian shit for brain.” Yes, I was independent, uppity-educated, had a respectable job, and at the time of marrying him I was getting my “papers” though work etc. Didn’t matter. My abusive ex kept telling me that I should be grateful that he, an AMERICAN man, had married me. That I was less than him because America. In addition, whenever I objected to the mad post-911 anti-Arab rhetoric (“show ‘em Arabs, bomb them all including children who are obviously future terrorists,” you know the drill, it’s the same today), he would frown and tell me that I should apologize, pledge my allegiance, and so on.
As he was getting ready to implement his project to deport me in hopes of preventing me from ever mentioning the abuse (which I was not doing anyway because I was too scared), he kept talking about my need to love America more, by which I suppose he meant deleting my heart and rejoicing in the suffering of “them.”
Just like the officers in the car.
And then he reported me, and I went to jail, where I spent a month, being treated horribly. You know the rest. It ended well.
My abusive ex is still practicing law. His enlightened and proper family members—who were seemingly fine with what he did to me—are okay, too. They are going about their lives as respectable lawyers, professors, writers, etc.
Which now brings us to the situation in Gaza.
As the “human animals” are getting annihilated in cold blood in tens of thousands, including the obvious devils—the terrorist kids—we are, thank goodness, us—and not them. Not our filthy terrorist kids over there. Not our reset.
Here is a video from my friend Kevin Nathaniel. I have nothing else to say right now.

I’m new to your articles, Tessa, and I had no idea that you had an abusive husband. Hugs to you. And I’m sorry you had to endure “ugly Americanism” so intimately with him and his family.
It’s sad how we’re being split into even more factions with the awful genocide in Gaza. I have a couple childhood friends who I “tracked” with through COVID, got a little crosswise with when I didn’t accept the Ukraine narrative, and now have nearly burned a bridge with by calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and speaking out against all the harm done to all of those children having been killed in Gaza over the past 2 months. They seem to not be able to see Gaza kids as being worthy of a chance for a peaceful life. These kids that are the same age as their own kids. As if it’s normal that their kids get to safely attend hockey tournaments and drink clean water but that Gaza kids have dirty, unsafe water and certainly don’t have the energy at this point to play ?soccer? with a ball made out of old rags. This lack of sympathy for Gaza kids is almost as horrifying as the bombings.😢
Tessa: The veneer of civilization is paper thin. Psychopaths are drawn to power. The current U.S. administration is now run by them, thus one or two generations of Ukrainian men slaughtered for no reason. But the horror in Gaza is the worst I've ever seen in my almost 75 years. In that case it is the religious extremists who control the government and their savagery. But it is American weaponry murdering all the innocents. Because civilization is so fragile we must redouble our efforts to spread goodness, love, and kindness in all our interactions, and refuse to do harm except in self defense. Our government has become a nightmare of venality and corruption, and can't be trusted for anything more than delivering the mail.
