Ed Sheeran Macklemore Controversy Analysis
The controversy between Ed Sheeran and Macklemore just revealed
the moral color code. I have been studying this for
two years now. Once you see it, you will never see anything with the
same eyes again. Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour.
All of a sudden, everybody's dropping out in solidarity.
Let's take a look at the profile of all the people who are on this side of the
controversy. You have Macklemore, you have Ms.
Rachel, and you have every single act that dropped out.
What do all of these people notably have in common?
All of these people claiming this is all about free Palestine
and solidarity with
the oppressed, they are all carriers of WG, white
guilt. I separate the pathogen from the carrier
because none of these people are
actually guilty of anything. But culturally, psychologically,
they have been
made to inherit this feeling of guilt, of shame, of complicity for
Western history. And how does the shamed self
absolve itself? Enter
the moral color code.
For the shamed self to seek redemption, it must first replicate
the exact dynamic that caused the shame, white on
brown oppression. This is called premium tier one
suffering. Palestinians represent the brown
oppressed.
Israelis and Jews represent the white oppressor, even though Jews
are not actually white. And you need to hold onto
that because I'm coming back to
it. When this dynamic, fictional dynamic, white-coded oppressor
on brown-coded oppressed is replicated, it triggers the
shamed self's opportunity to redeem itself by performing
solidarity with the brown-coded oppressed and distance
with the white oppressor. When it performs distance with the white
oppressor, it
proves "I'm not guilty." And so the shame is
alchemized. Tier two, you have brown-coded oppressed,
brown-coded oppressor. Here's where we have Iran, Afghanistan,
Lebanon, Yemen, Cuba, Venezuela.
Nobody cares when the brown codes are being oppressed by the brown codes.
Why?
Because there's no opportunity for redemption there.
Same with white on white, Russia and Ukraine.
Now you have the lowest tier, no value suffering.
So this is high value suffering, this is low to moderate value suffering,
and this
is no value suffering. So guess who goes here?
Of course, the coded white oppressed. This is Israelis.
This is Jews. If Israelis are being killed by the brown oppressor,
that
didn't really happen. They never got raped.
They never got massacred.
It was all a lie. These are just heroic freedom fighters.
Now let's back up a minute. You said that Jews aren't actually white, so how is
white guilt being absolved through them?
Enter René Girard's scapegoat theory.
You see, the shamed self is never gonna kill itself.
No civilization is ever gonna kill itself. So what is it going to do?
It is going to find a repository, a vessel, a scapegoat to
project all of that shame onto and then eliminate the scapegoat.
And what happens when it eliminates the scapegoat?
It feels like it's killed the shame in itself.
Now, what are the properties that that scapegoat has to hold?
Similar enough to hold up a mirror, but different enough
to be other. Now what is devastating about Jews,
why do they keep
fitting this scapegoat model over and over again throughout history,
is because
once they were dispersed out of their ancestral homeland through conquest,
through
Roman conquest, through the Arab Muslim conquest,
they were dispersed into
all of these different countries around the world, and they inherited admixture
from those lands, from Europe, from the Middle East.
So they looked enough like those societies to be a mirror, but
different enough to still be other.
And now the anti-oppression fighters of our time have
mysteriously found the exact same vessel.
Once they eliminate the Jews, once they eliminate Israel,
they're gonna feel
like they've eliminated that shame and guilt in themselves.
Plot twist, they are the oppressors.
Free Palestine doesn't actually mean free Palestine.
It means death to Israel, and everybody understands this, which
is why every
time the bullet leaves the barrel to kill another Jew, to kill another
Israeli, what do they say? "Free Palestine." And so this whole
time, Macklemore and Ms. Rachel and all of these opening acts
tell you that this is all about protecting the oppressed.
It is all about protecting the source of their absolution.
How can they redeem themselves without premium grade
suffering? Where is the standing in solidarity with
the millions and
millions and millions of oppressed people in the world? Nowhere to be found.
True humanity does not have a fucking tier system.
True humanity cares about Palestinians and Israelis and
everybody else in between. This is why I tell you that humanity
is the greatest lie of our time.
Now you understand why.
