Snobbery – The Stratospheric Nose

The following posts are based on those most of us cannot understand (as most of us don’t have our noses so high up in the air they are pecked at by flocks of wild geese or get ventilated by wind turbines).

Silver Spoon Nastiness

2016

Pointless nastiness towards strangers is otherworldly for most people whose heads are properly screwed on. Whilst within relationships of some sort one might engage in it to settle scores, with no axe to grind it’s quite bizarre.

To give an example (which sounds like  a caricature but is real), years ago, when I was part of the cleaning team servicing the headquarters of an oil company, I had a very odd – almost amusing – experience with a social ladder climber; one of their executives. This woman, from her cosy position, high salary and what not, would take the time to complain almost daily, seeking to get us (minimum wage workers) into as much shit as possible. She would take note of every imperfection and even set traps for us to make mistakes. In one of their boardrooms, she drew attention to the fact that from a different angle, with the sunlight hitting the table differently, she could (barely) notice a stain on it. Another time – it amazes me she never damaged her spine – she contorted her back to look under the urn, which was attached to the wall, to notice a few minuscule coffee stains. This nasty piece of work didn’t even feel ridiculous being the only one in the building to constantly moan. This went on for months. She probably still does it now, if she still works there.

It didn’t matter to her that she could get someone fired over her petty grievances. Some financially secure people have that particularity of not understanding the effects of their actions on the lives of others. It’s me, me, me, all the way.

A simple look at the monotonous landscape of today’s most famous social justice warriors shows they generally have an economically privileged background. Not privileged in every sense, obviously – the best privilege in the world is having someone explain to you, as you grow up, how the world really works, so you don’t end up thinking you’re saving it by cross-dressing.  In fact, I’ve noticed a few other similarities:

• They are mostly women;
• They are mostly young;
• They are attendants or former attendants of posh schools and universities, preferably with degrees in gender studies;
• They suffer from some mutation of Marxism.

The typical modus operandi  of these packs groups  is going after someone’s reputation for a controversial statement, as inconsequential as it may be, preferably by descending en masse on their workplace – preferably online, as they don’t have to leave their comfort zone and everything remains impersonal enough; they can feel like victorious knights without ever leaving their armchairs. A lot of them  don’t even use their own words, but only “like” or “support” such actions. I click, therefore I am.

Listing the cases of them damaging careers (without remorse) would amount to an archive as thick as an old phone book. They target anyone, from students  with a different view to people who have taken unprecedented steps in science. Their callousness, accurately described on this blog with plenty despicable details, can hardly be associated with modern day principles and implicitly with human rights. It’s a tribunal held inside an asylum; it’s anti-bullying activists bullying people until they crack. The fact that they don’t realise the paradox means their intelligence is below sea level.

The luxury of mainly operating with abstractions in one’s everyday life means said everyday life is not too challenging in its basic aspects; one can become disconnected with reality in the raw form others experience it – particularly with online activism, which allows people to harm others from a distance, based on ideological disputes. If they were to consider the practical implications of their actions (people going on welfare, not finding new jobs, not making their mortgages and having to give up their homes, their families’ level of comfort decreasing overnight, their mental health declining etc) they might be more empathetic – or some might, anyway.

Yet being mind slaves to abstract concepts and labels, they seem all too detached, or at least confused. Here you can read an article about how acceptable it is to reveal people’s identities online as a bullying tactic, written for a feminist readership, presumably. It excuses doxxing… as an equitable answer to the horrible act of being doxxed. Or threatened (even when the threat is hardly plausible, as previous examples demonstrate). A few comments are somewhat out of this world in terms of not grasping the concept of a person’s life being severely affected by another’s ego and “principles”.

Compared to their ways, Satanism, condemned as it is in popular culture, is far superior in terms of morality. No, seriously.

“11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.”

Unlike satanists, who at least employ some prudence, these people go straight for the jugular; they move to the ”destroy” phase straight away. Even blatant, shameless lying is employed as a tactic to stand up for morality, for instance by falsely claiming copyright violations to get completely original videos taken down by YouTube because of political views.

When the church of Satan shows more kindness to other human beings than social justice warriors, you know something is seriously wrong.

It seems to me to, Maria, that some SJW’s, high up on the social ladder, casting about for something or someone to be offended by, personally or by proxy, focus way too much on gender ‘imbalance’.

They seem to be clueless about real crushing issues of wage disparity, vanishing jobs, minimum wage and the like. I have my own stories about minimum wage jobs I had and the lack of respect I received, not from men — but from other women.

You can bet that the woman who worked for the oil company, as well as some of the sweethearts all of us have had to endure, while having the life beaten out of us on minimum wage, wereare radical feminists.

Also, started reading about ‘rape culture,’ a couple of months ago, quite worried that universities in my country had degraded to the point that earnest female students were being dragged off the streets and gang banged in frat houses.

I was astonished that the definition of rape (in the minds of sjw’s) has extended to a dating couple who get drunk together and end up naked, in bed, the following morning. The fact that no struggle has taken place, no resistance is remembered, is apparently immaterial. The fact that the girl could not give informed consent, because she was drunk, makes it rape.

Gender this, gender that. I am so f’g sick of it. Common sense should dictate that getting falling down drunk might expose the sjw to worse hazards than ending up in bed with their boyfriend. Being run over by a car, choking on their own vomit, for starters.

Yes, the so-called rape culture (which somehow fails to discuss some countries in the east…) is out of this world, and I fully agree with those arguing it’s nonsense, as the west is the most respectful (even fearful) of women nowadays.

Drunken sex with the boyfriend or husband cannot be considered rape; it’s crazy. Is it on a basis of “what if I actually said no…?” They can’t remember anyway, but what is more likely?

You just described the serial false accuser and completely worthless human being Peru from psychopathfree almost perfectly – born with every advantage in life and thinks it is oppressed.

Despite claiming to be a socialist, this middle aged baby sitter can only talk about how wealthy her friends and social circle are. They all live in stately homes and so on. I recall one conversation with her in which she said that she respected Jackson McKenzie (Peace) because he comes from a wealthy New England old money family and then 45 mins latter called me a ‘Dublin Gutter Snipe’.

This article could not be any more perfect in your appraisal of these things.

That is such a horrible thing to say and only speaks about the person saying it.

There seems to be something about these people. It’s hard to feel sorry for them although psychology claims they must be very insecure to cling to these details. Maybe they don’t realise how quick money and status can come and go. And it’s so funny that they claim to be socialists as socialism is all about deposing the rich of their wealth and power. They probably embrace it just because it’s the trend of the moment; if society was religious they would jump on that bandwagon right away. Or any bandwagon.

It’s difficult to understand where they’re coming from; what they actually think. For me it’s impossible to think that someone’s inner world can be that narrow.

Lying seems to come natural to them. A few months ago a guy posting videos on YouTube (making a living from that) was attacked by a rich transsexual activist for his views, this person got some of his videos taken down with a false claim . He/she thought it was a fair thing to do to anybody who didn’t agree with his/her views. It didn’t matter that everyone knew it was a lie. There’s no better way to stand up for the underprivileged than trying to take their only income away. Very moral.

The people from wealthy families that become hardcore activists/socialists tend to be the ones that didn’t have the smarts to go into the family business, they then turn against their parents lifestyle and carry around some serious anger because of it.

That’s a plausible explanation for the fact that they seem stuck in anger and negativity.

There is something odious about those who seek higher social standing or status by claiming to be socialist. It’s a bit of a contradiction. Not that every person who places some value in collectivism should wear a Mao jacket and endure revolutionary struggle sessions — But lionizing wealthy friends, due to their wealth? How gauche, Daaaahhhlings! To be betrayed by two bit frauds, as most of these people are, hurts so much, though the betrayal is a badge of honour.

You reach emotional equilibrium when you realize you are dealing with obsequiousness to power, coupled with viciousness to any perceived assault, wrapped in the thin skin of faux compassion. Life IS a masquerade to this type– a drama, a show, a play, a self-deception.

They enjoy playing games and complaining about things like smudges on boardroom tables, or crying ‘rape,’ when they get it on with their boyfriend, but can’t remember. It’s only the lives of others, after all, and how can that compare to their need for entertainment? Really… we have to keep our perspective. Their drama requirements trump the lives and livelihoods of others.

It’s odd because you’d think they were aware (at last to a degree) that their actions are reprehensible to most people. But they seem to lack that awareness.

Maria,

The SJW probably figures those who find them reprehensible have somehow been duped by ‘the enemy’ or have blinders on. It’s a crazily irrational exercise in solipsism, played out in an echo chamber of fellow histrionic types.

Another example of a manhunt which doesn’t seem to belong in this day and age. A person who prolifically replies with logical arguments to SJW propaganda was targeted by a collective effort to get him fired and even call the police about him. All for having different opinions and expressing them efficiently. Hearing them talk so naturally about how fair this is… well, it’s creepy. Especially since there are so many out there with the same mentality.

This post is about right wing snobbery, the most prevalent nowadays (unchanged throughout the centuries in spite of human and social evolution).

Nosferatu Eats The Daily Mail

2017

In case the title reads a bit odd, the comparison between the mythical un-dead and avid consumers of this publication seems increasingly warranted. In this section of the food chain, Nosferatu gorges on Daily Mail articles, in his unsatisfied craving to in fact consume other humans – and it, in turn, gorges on the small remnants of his brain, without which it could not survive. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

The far-right press, for some time, has had to at least nudge its audience in order to draw out racist, xenophobic or generally spiteful attitudes in relation to an event. That is no longer the case, apparently.

Its faithful disciples exhale contempt to the point of no longer seeing beyond their fixations, regardless of what the discussion centres on.

Gentrification has been intensely discussed in recent weeks, after the tragic fire which engulfed Grenfell Tower in London, as a result of the disparity between the very rich and poorer residents of the area. After an announcement was made that survivors would be housed in flats they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to afford, some people’s reactions were indeed very surprising and reminiscent of past centuries, rather than our current year.

It’s not often that the worst manifestations of snobbery are freely displayed in an open space, given the values the west pretends to espouse. In this case, it occurred in the most unexpected of circumstances, namely the imperious need to rehouse victims of a fire as soon as possible.

“My service charge bill – and it’s a low one this year – is £15,500. I would feel really resentful if someone got the same thing for free. I feel sorry for those people but my husband and I work very hard to be able to afford this. And for someone to get it for free, I would move.”

One has to wonder what is, concretely, being done to this woman. How would her fine life be affected exactly? How would it benefit her if she left her home? The only conclusion is that A, the insult is so extraordinary her mind cannot cope with it, or/and B, she can only mingle with her own social stratum, even if no one would actually force her to mingle but merely to breathe the same air, from a comfortable distance.

And if one does give her the benefit of the doubt for feeling some injustice because of her hard work, by reading subsequent comments one sees without a doubt that some people do, in this day and age, simply refuse to mingle with those who are not as rich as them. These are people who benefited from higher education, who presumably traveled around and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. And yet, all these possibilities were not enough for them to fully develop as sentient human beings. Sifting through the comments was fairly disturbing yet sobering at the same time.

All these comments scream “those people are lower than us; we know them to a tee; they are a different breed and do not deserve to breathe the same oxygen as we do”.

1. I’m sure the residents of these super-posh developments are just itching to take in a large, loud black mama JUST like Diane Abbott! Wait ’til they all start playing their music loudly and their kids make loads of noise! Watch the fallout!

2. I fear the entitlement attitude will only get worse due to constantly having those in the media and socialist left that everyone is equal. Housing such people in these luxury apartments will end in tears as they become more and more disconnected  from a community than bears no resemblance to their background  or social position, alienating both the private and social housing occupants.

Translation: they will alienate the rich just by existing in their proximity, as they are a different species. Apparently, there is no chance under the sun that people can coexist in the same building unobtrusively or get along very well in this situation.

3. It has nothing to do with not having as much money, that is so simplistic. It is to do with these people not sharing in the same culture background. Many can hardly speak English, many are Asylum seekers, refugees and worse still illegal immigrants, who come from third world countries who will be living next door to people who are paying for the privilege of living in such an area. Surely everyone when buying a home eventually choose a home by doing research on an area, types of neighbors, crime rates etc…And it appears it’s wrong that one should want to be able to choose when they’re spending money out of their own pocket.

Needless to say, these are pure assumptions. The only thing this person knows for sure is they were paying a lower rent and were not as well-off as the other residents of the area. Which by definition must mean all of the above, in their view.

4.To put it simply this Country is overloaded with immigrants to the point where the identity of white British people has and continues to be wiped out. Therefore its time all immigration was halted for the time being to allow the rightful owners, the white British people to recover their numbers.

Using an event of this type, corroborated with racial stereotyping, in order to rant about immigration.

5. To people who are criticising this woman including this radio person.  What would you say if all of these moved in next door to you for free?  Nothing at all, and you would welcome them?  Yeah right!

6.They are deserving to be rehoused permanently in suitably sized accommodation, but not necessarily in the same Borough ….. in any Borough where there is accommodation and where social housing rents are similar to Grenfell.  Otherwise, who’s going to take up the slack with the substantial increase in rent for Kensington Row?  The public purse of course and not just for a few months, but permanently.

7. Where is the heart – to have true heart you need to be able to understand that not all people are the same or equal, this does not mean they are not entitled or should not receive compassion, empathy and a caring approach to help re-build their lives again, but by suggesting we are all the same, when “realistically and logically” we are not, demonstrates we have a long way to go before we resolve the real problems and issues in our country.

8. Because £15.5k per annum is the going rate for service charges.  A block I know in SW11 charges £18,500 p.a. – that’s for 24 hr concierge, private refuse collection, someone at Reception all day to take parcels in for the residents and ensure no stranger just walks into the building, gardener, maintenance,  and many other services. Are you suggesting that the Grenfell people should also get this service?  You cannot be serious …… for what reason?  It is divisive to promote a better standard of living for migrants who have not yet contributed to the Exchequer above your own population.

9. And after years of working for very wealthy people I learned this:  Wealthy people want to be amongst other wealthy people only. They do not want to be part of a mixed socio-economic try-out ,especially at such close quarters which I believe would be next door to their prestigious apartment block.  Why do you think such prestigious blocks are built in expensive areas such as W14 in the first place?  Shelagh Fogarty is being more than usually dim.  Let’s not mix up the personal tragedies suffered by people from Grenfell with their eligibility to live in Kensington Row.

“Eligibility to live…”  Perhaps this person would admit they were not “eligible” to live in a death trap, but for Heaven’s sake, not “eligible” to move ranks that much! These people seem so sure of themselves, when nothing is guaranteed in life, not even the continuation of life itself, not even for one day. They must not spend an awful lot of time contemplating how short life is and what really matters at the end of the day.

10.This has nothing to do with people shouting racist or snobbery, but can we truly alter the demographics of a whole country, small community culture beyond all recognition where people who have worked to be able to choose where they want to live, the type of community they want to live in, the type of people they feel they relate, share the same values, outlook and commonality with. I find many people overlook the fact that many communities are being changed so much, than when the media film or interview people the community could easily be a third world shanty town. This is fact, NOT a ridicule of the people, we all revert to who and where we come from, and you cannot change an Asylum seeker’s or illegal immigrants background, the way they live by installing them in a luxury flat in Kensington.

The issue to this individual doesn’t seem to be the one at hand, which is a crisis, but somehow, as a goal in and of itself, to transform those people, making them suitable for a posh area. You just can’t make some of this stuff up.

11. Totally agree with the lady on the phone. I don’t even understand why the poor are living in the most expensive districts of the country. The past generations must have sold the right to live there for £££’s. Just being born in an area doesn’t automatically entitle you with the right to live there.

Paraphrasing someone who replied, partly to serve the rich, who might be forced to wipe their own behinds in every way, were it not for the poor who provide them with needed services. Of course, one might argue the poor can always commute. They don’t have to live, what an outrageous notion, right under those snooty noses. They spoil the view.

Although to think of it, the acrid comments were still more polite than those of these thoughtful readers, renowned for their intellectual capacity, since they read The Sun.

Another suggestion might be to build a new block of flats where the ruins once stood and then decant them all back although I wouldn’t like to see the state of some of the luxury flats then.

What’s wrong with trailer parks, certainly an upgrade to a bombed out piece of rubble in the desert.

These people have basically won the lottery, they’ll never have to work again and all the rules no longer seem to apply to them.

Out of pity for the laptop I might vomit on I will stop pasting quotes, undecided which ones were more despicable – the pure venom written by intellectually challenged individuals or the cynicism and snobbery of the well-to-do.

You might wonder what is wrong with these people. Is there something in their water?
