That’s entirely fair actually. I have zero doubts I would be rejected by a large number of peers, even in increasingly narrow circles. I don’t deny it at all.
People can think I’m evil, crazy or stupid. It’s fine, it rolls off my back. I’ve been called worse, I’ve had people threaten to murder me for saying things far tamer than I’ve said on KF.
But don’t call me a liar or a poser. Maybe I am just so weird that not even the craziest radical CHUDs would accept me. Okay, then I walk alone in this life.
But what does that prove? That I am an anti social freak? Fine. But what I am not, is a dishonest man.
And honesty matters far to me than social acceptance much less status. That is what separates me from most people, I just don’t care and have never cared about tailoring myself for social inclusion, or playing silly status games. I’ve always spoken my mind right or wrong and I’ve always been willing to bare the cost of isolation and reprisal.
It’s not much, but honesty and integrity are virtues I aspire to uphold. Regardless.
There is no virtue nor integrity in any view you have articulated. Hate doesn't have either of those. Be hateful all you want (as you admittedly are), but don't try to dress it up or try to fool yourself it's virtuous. Just own it as an un-virtuous thing.
I actively or passively "hate" maybe a couple of people in the world I know or am proximate to, for harms done to me or my loved ones specifically, and I know that it is both understandable and also a moral failing on my part to harbor that hate.
I also "hate" what some people I don't know do or have done, and I think some of them are useless, horrible people for whom I have nothing but contempt. I don't feel bad for having contempt for an horrific abuser or killer (though I well know it is objectively not a noble feeling on my part), and I don't feel particularly bad about a Dahmer or Ramirez getting prison justice, for example. But if I were walking around with such a seething rage about them I had to make a point to inject it in every third comment I make in x context, I'd be pretty sure that I'd have lost my own plot and needed to turn my attention to being better.
If you're petty, narrow, bloodthirsty, jingoistic, seething, irrational, or hateful (or at root scared, lost, displacing, attention-seeking, compensating, or unwilling to make or incapable of making even medium-fine distinctions), or just congenitally (euphemistically) a small, nasty person, don't try to dress it up as "virtue."
You have certain lazy views that you may consider principles, but all principles are not virtuous merely by being doggedly clung to by a powerless little person seeking to elevate fear of impotence to a righteous moral scheme.
As far as I have observed there is little-to-nothing you have said about this or anything else that is noble, righteous, virtuous or indicating integrity. As for honesty, it's impossible to characterize self-serving leaps of logic in order to make your indulging of your basest fantasies as "honest," because your starting point is lack of honesty with yourself.
I am amused that you took my point about the fact that your ideas are stupid and irrational (using some rough, and favorable-to-you, math) as an occasion to mentally elevate your apparent resentment and possibly sociopathic tendencies to being some Romantic loner-figure, living according to virtuous principle, rejected by the swine and know-nothings around him. Two thoughts:
1. There is no inherent virtue in the mere fact of being an outcast. It's neutral. And if it's because you have odious fantasies, it's a negative.
2. You fantasize murderous white domination, as though you have a tribe that would claim you. How feasible is it if virtually no one will claim you? And so OK, stay mad for the next 60 years, I guess. You'll suffer the most.
Call it Christ-likeness, or racial solidarity or a refusal to be swept away by herd gyrations.
What it is, is love and care.
There is ZERO in your views that is Christ-like.
This is where you are a liar. You have "compassion, love, kindness, and care" because he is white, he's a boy, and because you fantasize he's
just like you. Your compassion is disingenuous. It's all about you.
It's the height of arrogance and delusion to claim your views are virtuous or Christ-like. Claiming to be Christ-like is the antithesis of it.
As for the virtue of your arrogance,
one source pulled it together:
The words
arrogance, arrogant, proud, and haughty are mentioned over 200 times in the NIV Bible. And in practically every occurrence, it is a behavior or attitude detested by God. The Bible tells us those who are arrogant and have a haughty heart are an abomination to Him: “Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished” (
Proverbs 16:5). Of the seven things the Bible tells us that God hates, “haughty eyes” [“a proud look,” NKJV] is the first one listed (
Proverbs 6:16-19).
Jesus Himself said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him,” and then goes on to list the thirteen characteristics of those who are outside of God’s favor, with arrogance being considered alongside sexual immorality and murder (Mark 7:20-23).
There are two Greek forms of the word arrogance used in the New Testament, essentially meaning the same.
Huperogkos means “swelling” or “extravagant” as used in “arrogant words” (
2 Peter 2:18;
Jude 1:16). The other is
phusiosis, meaning a “puffing up of the soul” or “loftiness, pride” (
2 Corinthians 12:20). It is incumbent upon believers to recognize that being arrogant or having a pompous attitude is antithetical to godliness (
2 Peter 1:5-7).
Arrogance is nothing more than an overt display of one’s sense of self-importance (2 Timothy 3:2). It is akin to that “it’s all about me” mindset that says, “The world revolves around me” (Proverbs 21:24).
Instead of arrogance, the Bible teaches us the opposite. In writing to the church in Corinth, Paul describes the love. Of the many facets of God’s love, arrogance is the reverse: “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant” (
1 Corinthians 13:4; cf.
Romans 12:3). Being boastful and
having that “I’m better than you” attitude reeks of intimidation and destroys our relationships with others. However, Jesus taught us to put others before self: “But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:43-45).
The apostle
Paul echoed these same sentiments in his letter to the church in Philippi: “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). This is a vast contrast from the “dog-eat-dog,” competitive nature of our world today.
The Christian’s behavior towards others should imitate that of Christ who taught us to wash one another’s feet (John 13:14). Where the world pushes us to strive to reach the top and says that “he who has the most toys wins,” Jesus commands us to be different: “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (
Luke 14:11; cf.
James 4:6).
Regarding our attitudes towards God and our fellow-man, God gives us two promises. First, that the arrogant will be punished (
Proverbs 16:5;
Isaiah 13:11), and, second, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (
Matthew 5:3). For, in truth, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (
1 Peter 5:5; cf.
Proverbs 3:34).
