Prejudice is bad energy

Corporate talking points are nonsense but prejudice is bad energy, and that is the real reason why acting on prejudice is grossly unhelpful to the cause of "defeating the great reset"

Let us talk about prejudice, shall we?

What I mean is the emotion that we feel about a “type” or a “group,” the feeling that goes something like, “I don’t like those people, I don’t trust their kind because they don’t like or respect me and my kind, and I fully expect them to mock me, betray me, hurt me, and let me down. And because they are the kind of people who would do that kind of thing to me, it is rational to put them behind my emotional firewall and label them as the other, this is fair and needed to protect myself from being let down.”

If you want to know about my take on various exclusivity myths and different flavors of ethnic prejudice, I wrote about it in some picturesque detail here.

An excerpt:

I was born and raised in the USSR. As a result, I have a very thick skin when it comes to stupid talk. I can very easily deal with the people who are prejudiced in the grumpy, everyday, theoretical sense (“look at those other people, they are obviously worse than us but if you are one of them, hey, come on in, have some tea, not your fault you were born this way—and personally, you are alright”). The Moscow culture during the Soviet time was the opposite of politically correct when it came to ethnic opinions, so to this day, when it comes to empty stupid talk, I mostly filter it out with a lament and an eye roll—as long as the person doesn’t salivate over a prospect of a genocide. That is true when people trash “the Russians,” too, and there is no lack of that.
Here is a recap of the half-spoken ethnic prejudice of your average Russian Muscovite circa late USSR (it’s gonna to be crude, you’ve been forewarned): “The Slavs are obviously the best, and Moscow and St. Petersburg are the cream of the crop (with a bitter competition between the two). Everything outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg is provincial. Those provincial people constantly swarm Moscow with their funny accents and take what belongs to us (jerks, they need to go). The Asians are second class, except for maybe the Japanese (the Japanese are cool, they make cool tech). The foreign darker skinned people are barely off the tree and are uncivilized, except for the Indians (Indians are super cool). And the Jews are, well, the Jews, they are arrogant and have no respect for our kind. None the less, even if you belong to any of those inferior or arrogant groups, please come to my house, and I’ll give you tea, and cookies, and vodka, and we’ll have the most intimate conversation about the meaning of life, and you’ll be my friend for life, and I’ll defend you from my heart. Other members of your clan may be horrible people, and I am still suspicious—but you, I like. The caveat: if you are from Africa, listen, I may get used to you and become your friend but first, let me double-check if you know how to flush the toilet because they probably don’t have toilets in Africa, right? And if you are a Gypsy, just get out, you despicable horse thief. I don’t care if I don’t have any horses, you’ll steal something, it’s in your blood. GET OUT!!!”
So in practice, everyone was mostly getting along (except for the pariah Gypsy who were not welcome anywhere at all)—but simultaneously, the people harbored extensive prejudice against “the other kind.” I was occasionally called “a dirty Jew” by strangers in the street but snubbed for being non-Jewish by friends of my close friends.

I wasn’t particularly traumatized by either, I merely filed those things under “Jesus Christ you people, gimme a break … but look, what am I having for dinner tonight? Potatoes and fruit pie? Hooray!” etc.)

Fast-forward to today

Things in life evolve, and I no longer eat fruit pie. With that out of the way….

When it comes to “COVID,” some good-hearted people agree with me on the rationality and ethics of being a "COVID dissident," while other good-hearted people believe that VACCINES-SAVE-LIVES, that “antivaxxers” are horrible human beings who get in the way of SAVING-LIVES—and therefore, deserve to be censored, punished, mocked, abused etc. I know both kinds. While I am quite disheartened by the latter opinion, I can have sincere conversations with both kinds.

Some good-hearted people think that the current takedown of “Western freedoms” is about "the democrats" or "the Chinese," and some good-hearted people think that their horrible suffering is all because of Hitler-Trump (see the grotesque illustration below but please keep reading, this artistic display in my hood is merely an amusing example of people swallowing a carefully crafted scapegoating bait, not the focal point of this post)

Some good-hearted people are sincerely zionist because they have swallowed the carefully crafted bait and attached their feeling of dignity to the state of Israel. Some good-hearted people have swallowed another carefully crafted bait and sincerely think that all problems of the world are because of "the Jews" (not their Jewish friends but “the Jews” as an abstract group). I have had equally frantic and mostly unfruitful intellectual debates with friends adhering to both opinion camps. Like I said, I have seen every opinion under the sun and don’t generally define people by their ideas, and so I don’t write people off based on their opinions I don’t fancy. That said, I do lose interest and a huge chunk of respect when people enjoy actual abuse or murder of human beings. That, I don’t respect.

Unlove

My observation is that this emotion, the emotion of withdrawing love from all people of a particular “kind,” is a product of metaphorical “bad magic,” put forth by highly-perched people with not-so-good intentions. It gets internalized by good people if they swallow the bait and start believing that the very real lack of respect their soul feels is because of “those other guys,” as opposed to because of the wicket magicians in high chairs. (I think that even the super ridiculous supremacists of different flavors are really just trying to plug a hole in their soul—trying to connect with the sacred part of their ancestry that had been stolen from them—but they don’t know how.)

How do I feel about that unloving emotion when it is expressed in my presence? I handle it case by case.

A much more fragile version of me once cried like a baby seal at a party (and then entered a long-term relationship with a consoler) after a Christ-looking, extremely prejudiced Russian lad called me a "dirty Jewess," probably based on my prominent nose (of which I am proud even though, I think, it was a result of me falling face-down on a skating rink as a kid). He inquired with my friend, who is officially Jewish but doesn't look it, how she could even be friends with me, given my “Jewishness,” etc. I didn't wail for myself, I am thick-skinned about myself. I wailed for the tragic state of the world and for how stupid and just real idiotic it is to pick on a human being based on a real or imaginary ethnic beef. Then a consoler entered the scene, and I focused on more appealing things….

At the same time, I remember how when my Soviet expat friends who were in love with their Israel (it is theirs how exactly?) referred to Arabs as "dirty animals," something on the inside of me quietly died. I was disappointed in my otherwise very smart and good-hearted friends who had done amazing things for me that at the time more or less saved my life...

In 2024, I accept the fact that, due to the metaphorical “bad magic”created by the people in high chairs, many people stay tribal in a negative sense—sometimes very stupidly so—unless they are forced to let go of the artificial spirit carefully crafted to trick their own kind. People stay arrogantly tribal with particular fervor when being this way is beneficial to their comforts, or when it feeds their sense of pride.

Most human beings don't want to just drop everything and do the spiritual work that inevitably leads one to a place where one feels the love that connects us all. (I am not talking bullshit love. I am talking the cellular-level, physical-spiritual feeling of love that grows the soul.)

When I personally encounter expressions of loveless prejudice (loveless is the keyword), I mourn the part of the human being that does not see how we are all related, and feel love for their real soul. That is what I do.

(This is a different situation from dealing with dark-hearted individuals who create pain on purpose, they are also on their way to love but they chose a very dramatic, complex route to love.)

Whichever group we look at, their leadership typically throws their own under the bus

No matter what demographic we look at, there is a tremendous difference between the bulk of the people and their leadership. Cheap talk aside, leaders are usually very happy to throw under the bus not just the foreigners but their own as well.

Leaders call on patriotism and invoke "domestic" exclusivity myths to win their wars—but once their war are won, they sacrifice their own with ease (just like they do for the sake of winning their wars.)

Here is my take on the current situation.

In the everyday, all exclusivity myths are annoying
Everyone is certainly special
Yes, there is a group of extremely dark-minded individuals who more or less run the world. Their defining feature is their spiritual choice to walk on the dark side, not their ethnic label or the brand of theology under which they make their spiritual choice.
A metaphorical vampiring spiritual agenda is behind the founding of most recent state machines (be it America, or the USSR, or Israel). Founding of America had nothing to do with we the people, founding of the USSR had nothing to do with liberating workers and peasants, founding of Israel had nothing to do with the well-being of the suffering Jews—who were, in fact, lured into a trap with a long “incubation period” and thrown under the bus very treacherously by the very people who were claiming to come to their rescue and offer them a surrogate land of dignity, etc.
Methinks that the people with not-so-good intentions are extremely happy when peasants focus on their ethnic labels or on the logos printed on their spiritual books. Peasants can’t touch them—they don’t mind it when peasants fight with each other—and any ethic prejudice leads to bad energy, which puts energy straight into their pockets and away from love. They are metaphorical vampires, remember? They feed on unlove!
What is happening in Gaza is awful for universal reasons and is not about “Arabs” or “Jews.” What is happening in Gaza is slaughter of trapped human beings who have been on the receiving end of giant abuse for decades now, and it is deeply ungodly, heartbreaking, and very wrong. It is wrong because it is deliberate slaughter of trapped human beings—for resources and to inflict pain—organized by metaphorical vampires.

Personally, I choose to ignore any and all artificial spirits created by metaphorical vampires to trick good people. We, good people, don’t benefit from internalizing any stories created by metaphorical vampires. Even if it seems like we benefit when “our tribe” gets to be top, we really don’t. It’s a lie, it’s a trap, it’a game of musical chairs. In the long term, no one wins in the game of musical chairs.

If we want to win, we need to find the courage and spit out the spell that had been crafted for “our kind” by metaphorical vampires. They don’t love us. They are the actual culprits who don’t love us, who would mock us, betray us, and let us down.

Now is a very good time to spit their spell out because it is not a part of us. It is a very good time to reject the energy enjoyed by metaphorical vampires. Yes, now is a very good time to do that. It may be the most difficult thing in the world but that is what gives us life. We deserve love. We deserve life. We stand for life.
