Down the Altrabbithole: White Women
Eurochristian beneficiaries have got it all. Like the outrageous audacity that the cultures who introduced the world to damsels in distress, ethnic cleansing in color, nazisploitation, slasher films and rape fantasy fanfic all dressed up as art can now have the nerve after a century of rampant immigration to point a democratic, rights-based finger at the rest of the world and say:
“Hey man, you guys are all fucked up. And we don’t want you bringing your shit here; got enough problems of our own!”
For once, this author agrees: because a plethora of perversion already awaits you here! So immigrants, leave native preoccupations behind; you’re not gonna believe the depths of depravity awaiting you in the oh so decadent and delightful west! Where since you’ll have the option to experience all the worst things imaginable merely virtually, you won’t have to disregard human rights or ruin anyone’s life to get the thrill of yours! Africa and Asia ain’t got shit on the holocaust and Hostel. Attila, Genghis, Timur and Babur notwithstanding.
Besides, only two of them were muslim anyway. So we can’t blame it on that.
Damsel in distress!
Sure, it’d be great to save some scantily clad, forever grateful, sexually promiscuous, milky white girl from dusky immigrant brutes out to do her harm; as long as she’s skinny and hot! But that would also require two deeply troubling preconditions to first be met: Dark complected, foreign male victimizers would have to be ready to rape: thankfully not all are. And a helpless hot chick would have to be in need of rescuing from serious jeopardy.
I wouldn’t wish either of those things on anyone! Although I’m all for a free and vibrant entertainment tapestry, I remain uncertain why people love foul shit like torture, sexual violence and brutal death so much. Guess it’s better on film, in books or url than irl. But why at all? Violent movies and video games may not bear any statistical correlation to actual violence, but there’s not much of an argument to be made for their redemptive power either!
There’s nothing redeeming about the bloodbaths in which we’ve gleefully soaked since the late 70s. And there was still a moment in the 90s around the time Monica was blowing Bill in the oval when liberals like Al and Tipper Gore could find common ground with the family values crowd in totally reasonable opposition to kids murdering each other or pretending to do so. Hate to say it, but faced with the choice to either watch or not watch hillbillies artistically raping a feminist journalist in 1978’s I Spit on Your Grave, America instead chose to remake that shit 25 years later; in a franchise with sequels. Because we apparently can’t get enough rape and revenge. Dress it up as female empowerment and it can even be dubiously labeled art!
Why anyone chooses this revolting shit over the countless thousands of other viewing options is a testament to just how fucking sociopathic our city on a hill has become. Just because something might not inspire dark thoughts doesn’t mean it likely will not; ideas come from somewhere.
Nazisploitation
Actual pulp fiction — semen-crusted pages stuck together of course — existed long before Tarantino’s iteration thereof. It beleaguered a whole generation of vulnerable American boys with the damaging and far-reaching misimpression that their hidden fantasies were ok; fuck man, there’s a reason you had to keep it a secret for so long! Men’s adventure mags for WWII or Korea vets and Nam GIs are the ultimate example of art imitating life. No one thought this shit up on their own. Hell of a market; and what an audience!
Because what self-respecting, red-blooded, virile, cis-white American man doesn’t want to see what the nazi commie black muslims are gonna do to his hometown sweetheart. Cult of the man.
Men’s rights
Then in some blame the victim, she had it coming bullshit they claim rape and murder victim Elin Krantz was the same girl who appears in this Swedish tv parody music video. Laboring under the hideous mistaken assumption that this is not only an actual track laid down by some scummy Swedish rapper instead of satire, but worse:
That the criminal African migrant responsible for the Krantz attack must automatically be muslim. But he’s Ethiopian: a christian country you fucking xenophobe morons; Ephrem Tadele Yohannes is a christian name.
Validate by hearting or following, either here or on twitter cult. I integrate commenters’ insights into new pieces, so thanks for the ideas too! According to stats, this is what the people like my most. Thanks for reading/writing. Peace.
