Superstition: The Folks Who Believed In Witchcraft….

[PoliticalChic]

….they’re still around. Today we call them ‘Democrats.’



1. Here’s what I’m talking about:
”The primary magical issue for New England Congregationalists, at least in the 17th century, was witchcraft. Fischer even says that the Puritans in Massachusetts were obsessed with witchcraft in the 1600s. After quoting from a minister named John Eliot in 1644, Fischer explains that Eliot “had no conception of what we would call an accident. There were no random events in Puritan thinking.”
Colonial Superstitions



2.“If you describe events as random, you mean that they do not seem to follow a definite plan or pattern.” Random definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary

Democrats, believers in superstition, explain certain events based on superstition….claims that have no verification. While these events “do not seem to follow a definite plan,” they may involve numerous conscious or unplanned decisions. We saw this sort of thing in the results of the 2020 Census where the growth or diminution of populations could be described as ‘random:’ movement to or from a particular city in a particular state.

But the superstition that Democrats most frequently rely on is what they call ‘racism.’ It is as fact-based as ‘witchcraft’ was.



3.If one applies the same view to income levels, or educational levels or incarceration rates, as based on “numerous conscious or unplanned decisions,” rather than oppression, imaginary laws, racism, ‘white supremacy,’ then those excuses become as superstitions about witchcraft. And, they are. Neither exist in reality….but both are believed by Democrat voters.

Say ‘boooo!’



4. And there is a deleterious effect of accepting the superstitions of 'racism:'

According to Professor Jonathan Haidt, in the framework of Intersectionality Theory, “America is said to be one giant matrix of oppression, and its victims cannot fight their battles separately. They must all come together to fight their common enemy, the group that sits at the top of the pyramid of oppression [the witches causing all those problems]: the straight, white, cis-gendered, able-bodied Christian or Jewish… male. This is why a perceived slight against one victim group calls forth protest from all victim groups. This is why so many campus groups now align against Israel.”
Jonathan Haidt, “The Age of Outrage,” City Journal, December 17, 2017.



5. To believe the superstition of 'racism' one must also believe that, without “oppression, imaginary laws, racism, ‘white supremacy,” the exact same ratios of men, women, blacks, whites, tall, short, whatever would occur in every occupation, hobby, endeavor, income group and neighborhood.


And would vote Democrat to avoid that witchcraft thing.

hey it exists....i once turned a guy into a toad.....

Did you use 'spellcheck'?

to turn him into a toad?.....no.....

He was lucky you hadn't read Kafka's 'Metamorphosis.'

It's unfortunate you didn't understand Metamorphosis message.

I hurt your feeling reminding of how often you are called a cockroach????


Is it a kind of personality-shaming????

"Race Demagogues Are Poisoning Our Politics
By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Senator Tim Scott is entirely right: “America is not a racist country.” But America has a serious racial problem. Not a racism problem, a racial problem.

We have a party in power whose strategy for remaining in power is to divide the country along racial lines. Democrats calculate that urban-centered racialist tribalism, amplified by media and pop-culture allies and underwritten by cowed corporations, can cast mainstream America as a deplorable bastion of white supremacism."

Race Demagogues Are Poisoning Our Politics | National Review

Our racial problem is getting worse, even as we strive as a nation to marginalize racism.

And there is simply no proof of the claims of racism.

Just like witchcraft.

That is true.

And there is simply no proof of the claims of racism.

Not of their claims, no, but what they are doing is indeed racist.

Well here's another angle to the witch hunt thing. !7th century europe and the Americas had a problem with tainted grain that was affecting peoples minds.. and giving them some disease called
ergotism. Not understanding this, it made it so easy to blame women as being witches , as the ACCUSERS were already in the grips of a psychosis caused by a mind altering fungi

Now ... question is, can a direct parrellel be drawn and connected to todays Liberals? have we actually ran tests on the multi grain bagels and gluten free muffins they sling up at Star Bucks?
While they dont seem to suffer from Ergotism so much.. Egotism seems to be running rampant!
Is there a scientist on this board? Please help!

There is no more proof of racism in America than there was of witches in an earlier era.

7. While my mission is education, I yearn for a scholarly.....at least intelligent.....attempt at refutation of my theses.
Alas....my hopes are unrequited......
Democrats fabricate, and wail 'is not, isssssssssssss nooottttttttt!!!!!!!"


There argument is left for me to provide.


This is what we find as their 'proof of racism:'


“White Privilege is evident in the distribution of wealth and power in America, historically-based and perpetuated via laws, educational advantages, inherited wealth, Good Ol' Boy networks, racial prejudices, etc., but some Whites are disgruntled because they do not believe they share in it.” The Myth Of White Privilege post #77


How stupid: wealth is not distributed, it is earned.....although that is what government would like the dolts to believe.

The only distribution of wealth is the vote-buying scheme called 'welfare.'

And, contrary to what the fool wrote about racism "perpetuated via laws,".......a scurrilous lie of the usual sort from Democrats.
There are no such laws.



So.....where is the proof of racism.....or witchcraft.

6. When you are a proponent of a major political postulation that has no facts behind it….that’s witchcraft in modern times. Racism fits that definition.



Educated folks might think that pointing out the truth would have provided an epiphany for the rubes who believed in Democrat witchcraft. It wouldn’t; we see the same attempts daily in instructing our Democrat pals, immune to truth, logic or experience
….. they simply continue to believe in and repeat the superstitions: racism! White supremacy! Oppression!!!




“That real-world facts are no obstacle to advancing these ideological slanders was demonstrated in July 2017, when a Google engineer named James Damore wrote an internal memo addressing the assumptions behind such programs, specifically the claim that women were blocked from entering STEM fields because of patriarchal oppression. His memo, which he called “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” examined the many factors besides possible anti-female bias that might lie behind the lower number of women programmers.”

Damore included biological factors leading to psychological differences between men and women that might influence the latter’s choice of fields to enter.

Guess how Google responded.



They fired him for providing the antidote to superstition, ……truth.

There is no such thing as "White Supremacy" and there never was! Am I right?
