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.
