The "Allies" are Deceivers

I woke up in the middle of the night last night because my unconscious mind had a message to deliver. Hey, punk, it said, when are you going to come up with a word to describe the "Allies"?

My unconscious mind was talking about what lefties call "Allyship" and I call "Ally-ism." It is the notion, as described by Matt Taibbi, that there are three kinds of people in the world.

It sees the human being as locked into one of three categories: members of oppressed groups, allies, and white oppressors.

So, the Allies are the Chosen, the valiant knights riding their chargers through the forest rescuing damsels in distress.

Or not. 

But if the Allies are not Allies, what are they? I think the answer is that they are Deceivers, deceiving both themselves and the "oppressed peoples."

After all, what is an "oppressed people" in the real world? It is a people that is friendless, helpless, naked before its enemies: the kulaks in Soviet Russia; the Jews in German-occupied Europe in 1944; the freed slaves in the Jim Crow South. If noble Allies are out there peacefully protesting for the "oppressed peoples" and the oppressed peoples get to demand their right to e.g., receive welfare and Medicaid, and Directors of Diversity and Equity are bashing "white oppressors" over the head even including a dumb Yale Law School student that invited people to his "trap house" for a party, then the term "oppressed people" does not apply.

Notice how our liberal friends, the self-described Allies, are deceiving both themselves and their clients.

When you are running around doing "activism" and you learned your activism in a government school, then whatever it is you are doing has the approval and the imprimatur of the ruling class. So if you are an Ally, you are an Ally of the ruling class, first and foremost. You are deceiving yourself if you imagine yourself an Ally of the oppressed.

Not only that, you are also deceiving yourself also because you are using the wrong way to help "oppressed people." The wrong way is to rile up the oppressed into street mobs and resentful serfs. The right way is to teach them how to get out of the oppressed class and become ordinary middle-class commoners. I'd say that "the science" and "the facts" are in on that.

Then, of course, you are deceiving yourself into believing that ordinary white middle-class Americans, the Commoners, are in fact a monstrous cabal of oppressors. In fact, of course, ordinary white middle-class Americans are the victims of progressives politics in the era after the Civil Rights Acts. It is the white union members that lost their jobs to globalism; it is the white lower-middle class that have lost their firefighter and police jobs to quotas and Affirmative Action, and ordinary white and east Asian youngsters without connections that have lost places at elite colleges to "diversity" students. It is ordinary white guys like James Damore that are losing their jobs to the "cancel culture."

But above all, lefty political help for oppressed peoples is deceiving the oppressed peoples themselves. It Makes Things Worse. Lefties taught the white working class to believe in unions -- but the day came when union labor was overpriced, the global elite sent the union jobs to China, and the white working class were screwed. Lefties taught the newly enfranchised blacks to protest in the 1960s so they thoughtfully burned down their cities. In 2020 lefties taught blacks that was injustice, straight up, for a police officer to restrain a black robbery suspect that resisted arrest and was high on drugs. I'd say that Made Things Worse. I'd say that lower-class people that believe in the lefty agenda today are people that have been deceived.

What the lower class needs is a culture that encourages them to get an education, to get a job, to get married, and follow the rules and obey the law. For sure, the culture needs to be understanding and accept that there will be many that are not up to the challenge. Fine, but they are not oppressed peoples, and not really helpless victims. They are just losers.

So let us turn the lefty Ally narrative upside down. Let us say this:

In America we see three kinds of people. There are elite Deceivers; the subordinate Deceived peoples, and ordinary Americans.

Of course, the Deceiver narrative is rubbish. But it is no more rubbish than the Ally narrative.

The real problem with the "oppressed peoples" narrative is that, while plenty of people have been oppressed down the ages, there are plenty of people who are quite content to be subordinate serfs. Back in the Middle Ages, a serf could even apply to his lord to become a slave, "head for food" they called it. There are millions who become government employees for the lifetime employment and a pension. There are millions who work for .large corporations hoping for lifetime employment and a pension. All fine and dandy. But those people are not oppressed peoples. They are just people that are content to be subordinate and live at the pleasure and under the patronage of the powerful.
