THE BASKET OF DEPLORABLES: REALISM IS OFFENSIVE TO THOSE IN REALITY-DENIAL

by Brett Stevens

NWO/XOG zombie Manchurian candidate and Parkinson’s suffer Hillary Clinton shrilly declared, and then apologized and revoked, the sentiment that half of Donald Trump’s constituency are a “basket of deplorables,” specifically those who embrace non-Leftist thought:

"Hillary Clinton took aim at supporters of Republican rival Donald Trump by saying half of them belonged in a 'basket of deplorables' as people who were racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, or Islamophobic.

But Clinton, in a statement on Saturday, walked back the remarks, saying she regretted using the word 'half' and seeking to refocus on what she described as episodes of 'deplorable' behavior by Trump and his campaign."

ENTER THE MUSLIMS

According to a series of Pew surveys, Islamophobia is on the rise in Europe:

"Pew’s 2014 Global Attitudes survey, 26 per cent of us have ‘unfavourable’ attitudes towards Muslims in this country; compare that to 46 per cent in Spain, 53 per cent in Greece and 63 per cent in Italy."

The leftist BBC self righteously took pot shots at Greece as Athens was the only major city in all of Europe that refused to permit the construction of a Mosque. It seems that this will no longer be the case as plans for a new Mosque are being discussed.

As I watched the video in the above link I couldn’t help but notice that this hostility to Muslims stems not from religious prejudice, but xenophobia. This brought me back to an excellent point Bay Area Guy had made a while ago about how Muslims had become a legitimate target for pent up anti-immigrant frustration. I suspect this is also the case in Europe. Muslims are bashed especially hard because North American Whites and Europeans are not allowed to bash any other group for fear of being labelled racist.

WHITE ETHNOMASOCHISM AND BORDER INSECURITY

Ethnic chauvinism is an irritating and at times repulsive trait, but ethnomasochism is a thoroughly contemptible affliction. If the former tendency runs the risk of dehumanizing those outside of one’s own group, and ignoring crucial commonalities due to the horseblinding effect that accompanies the inculcation of extreme prejudice, its antithetical opposite proclivity leads a person to feel unreasonably righteous by hating his own kind. That is, it causes one to feel morally upright by embracing treachery, a trait universally regarded as morally loathsome in nearly any other context.
