How did we get here? This is a result of Democrat race-hustlers and academic communist agitators teaching young people that being a permanent, professional victim is the highest calling in life. After all, being a hero is dangerous. It takes effort. It actually helps others. But being a fake victim is easy. It’s selfish. It’s not dangerous–unless you spill too much bleach on yourself. Or drop your half-eaten Subway sandwich on the frozen sidewalks of Chicago's MAGA Country.
As Chesterton said, “It’s as easy as lying. Because it is lying.”
It’s a real epidemic. Not a fakey, inanimate “Gun Violence Epidemic”, but a real epidemic that real hoaxers are suffering from in droves. There are far more fake hate crimes than real ones at this point. A century ago, people valued gold and would go as far the Yukon to get it. Today we value Glamorous Victim Status and will go even farther to have it. And if we can’t have that, we’ll settle for Associate Victim Status. And the less racist society becomes, the tighter they cling to victimhood. It’s weird–and pathological.
Remember Mattress Girl? Yeah–neither does Kirstin Gillabrand. Duke Lacrosse? Rolling Stone’s UVA Hoax? Tawana Brawley? The Starbucks Harvard Business School Scholarship Program? Clock Boy? The list goes on and on. And on and on and on and on. And always in one political direction.
It’s crazy how people will stab, punch, bruise, assault, shave, graffiti, pose and perjure themselves to get it. They’ll smear feces on themselves, rip their clothes, start fires, lie to reporters and e-mail themselves blackmail and threats just to obtain it.
But the payoffs can be huge: fame, fortune, celebrity, scholarships, endowed chairs, tenure, Pulitzers Prizes, instant street cred, magazine covers, grants, federal laws bearing your name, famous people fawning over you, actors portraying you in Hollywood blockbusters, book sales, movie rights, rock stars singing your song, the moral high ground, trips to DC, get-out-of-jail free cards to riot and burn down your town, the ability to discredit, silence or even jail your opponents–and that’s just a partial list.
When you think about that way, you’d be kinda’ crazy not to.
I don’t like “hate crimes” because no one has ever explained to me what a love crime is. Besides Corey Booker’s love life, I mean. Seriously, it creates “important” assaults and unimportant assaults. If it was someone you loved, would you want your identical crime treated as much more important?
And for the record, a hoax hate crime is itself a hate crime.
