Middle Nation Content Talks: Blame-shifting

Okay. It's thirty five. So, inshallah, I will start playing the video and, you know, people will join along the way. So enjoy.

Yeah. You know, we had this guy in the in the chat last night, in the live chat, who came on talking about, you know, the normal thing saying, well, you know, the real problem is there's this certain group of people that now has a state and they didn't used to have a state, but it's this certain group of people that's always making trouble, you know, that's always causing a problem. And of course, knew immediately what he was trying to say, what he what group of people he's talking about, and he's talking about the Jews. It's the same old conspiracy theory that the that the West is always trying to make us believe in and that many of us do believe in. I was a little bit harsh with this particular man and immediately ejected him from the Chad because we wanna have an intelligent conversation.

And I'm not about to try to help you shift the blame for the actions of your own so called civilization Because, you know, either you don't know your own history, which is entirely possible, or you think that we don't know your history, or you don't want us to know your history. But we have to confront the truth, raw and unfiltered. The crimes that were committed by the West against the rest of the peoples of the earth are their crimes and no one else's. No one forced them. No one tricked them.

No one controlled them. And we won't allow you to blame shift and put all the responsibility for your actions at the feet of other people, at the feet of anyone else, not the Jews, not the nations, not the Illuminati, not the Rothschilds. No. You did what you did, and you do what you do. The pope who lost the crusades wasn't the Jewish pope.

Stop lying about yourselves, and stop lying about your history. You were responsible for the Transatlantic slave trade that ripped millions upon millions of people from their homes, from their families, from their cultures. And you invented the whole concept of white supremacy to try to justify your barbarity, classifying your fellow human beings as subhuman. It was westerners that raided that whole continent like savage beasts, chaining free people, packing them into ships like cattle, transporting them across the ocean to lives of unimaginable horror. Over 12,000,000 souls were uprooted.

Their lives were stolen. Their spirits were broken. To build the wealth of the very people who were dehumanizing them, that was you, not the Jews. Even though you retroactively try to pretend somehow that the Jews forced you to rape and pillage Africa, that they forced you and your founding fathers to force Africans to work your fields and build your economy. That was all against your will.

Right? Every degenerate plantation owner had a gun to his head, didn't he? Jews forced him to buy human beings and treat them like animals. You were tricked into it. Right?

It was I pack all along. And when the Berlin conference was convened in 1884 where European powers sat around a table and carved Africa up like a piece of meat, The Jews told you what to do. Right? The Congo was turned into a personal plantation for king Leopold of Belgium, where 10,000,000 Africans were worked to death, mutilated, and murdered for the sake of rubber and ivory. I guess poor king Leopold must have been hypnotized by the Jews.

Yes. And every single vicious commonizer who inflicted that savagery on the Congo, I guess they were all forced or tricked into it by all of those all powerful Jews who you were at the same time prosecuting in Europe. No. The French, the British, the Germans, the Portuguese, all of them imposed their will on Africa, draining its resources, enslaving its people, and crushing any resistance underfoot. But you want us to believe that you were only doing that because you were under some kind of a spell by the Jews.

And really, you're just kind hearted innocent do gooders if only those nefarious Jews would let you be. You must really think we're fools. The British Empire flooded China with opium, turning millions of people into addicts just to satisfy the British lust for profit. I guess that was all for the Jewish cabal, wasn't it? Those proper English gentlemen would never do such a thing.

When the Chinese resisted, the British responded with vicious force, waging the the opium wars to secure their right to poison an entire nation. I guess that was all under duress from the powerful Jewish rulers of the world, wasn't it? For over two centuries, those same British exploited India's wealth and turned that prosperous civilization into a land of famine and poverty. They massacred anyone who dared to rise up just like in Amritsar where British soldiers slaughtered hundreds of unarmed men, women, and children in cold blood. Winston Churchill starved tens of millions of Bengalis, but I guess that was all just to please his Jewish masters.

That's the way you tell it. You colonized The Philippines, first the Spanish and then the Americans. You murdered over 200,000 Filipinos in a brutal war of subjugation. But we've got the wrong guy. Yeah?

We've got the wrong guy. That couldn't have been you. That couldn't have been you, wonderful peace loving Anglo Saxon Christians. Right? No.

I guess the Jews were controlling you all the way back when you wrought havoc on the indigenous civilizations of the Aztecs and the Incas and the Mayans. That couldn't have been you. Those must have been Jewish conquistadors who brought death and destruction and wiped out entire cultures, enslaved the survivors, and imposed a brutal regime of exploitation that continues until this day. From Guatemala to Chile, from Nicaragua to Haiti, the people of Latin America, so called Latin America, have suffered under the weight of American imperialism, and their struggles for liberation are always met with bullets and bombs and death squads. But again, that wasn't you, was it?

You're as innocent as a baby. Right? I guess it was the Jews who landed on Plymouth Rock. Right? It couldn't possibly have been white European Christians who committed one of the most massive and longest genocides in human history against the native Americans.

That must have been Jews too, right? The systematic campaign of extermination must have been executed on the orders of the Jews. From the Eastern Seaboard to the plains of the Midwest, from the deserts of the Southwest, to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the indigenous peoples of America were hunted like animals. Their lands were stolen. Their cultures erased.

The trail of tears, The wounded me massacre. The countless broken treaties, over 500 broken treaties, all bear witness to the genocidal intent of those invaders. But we've got the wrong guy. That's what you'd like us to believe. It wasn't you.

It wasn't white Europeans. And, apparently, the diabolical machinations of the Jews reached all the way down under, didn't it, all the way to Australia, where the aboriginal people who lived for sixty thousand years in harmony with their land. Well, they were declared as nonhuman by British colonizers and hunted down and killed like animals. Their children were ripped away from their arms in a policy that they called assimilation. They sought to erase their culture, erase their identity, and erase their very existence.

But I guess that was the Jews too, wasn't it? Just stop with this nonsense. We all know you. We know your history. We know it all too well because your history derailed our history, and it turned countless lives into a catastrophic nightmare.

I mean, how do you imagine that we can look in your eyes while you're assaulting us, and then you try to convince us that someone else is doing the beating? And, yes, like I said, bear in mind that all of these crimes you've committed and that you wanna blame the Jews for, all of these crimes were committed during a time when you were also simultaneously persecuting the Jews themselves in your countries. You wanna tell one group of your victims that another group of your victims is the one that victimized them, or you insult our intelligence. Your hatred of the Jews is exactly what has led to the whole problem that we have right now in The Middle East. That's all your fault, and it's all because of your hatred of the Jews.

Your persecution of the Jews led to Zionism, and that led you to support relocating all of the Jews out of Europe and sticking them in Palestine. Your holocaust against the Jews has been the fuel for the genocide that the Palestinians have suffered for the last one hundred years. And now you come to us like you're giving us sincere advice, like you wanna explain the source of our problems to us. And all you come with is the same anti Jewish conspiracy theories and hatred that started all of our problems in the first place. Why even now, Israel itself wouldn't have any power if it wasn't for you people.

And you're only supporting it now precisely for the same reason because you still hate the Jews now just like you did then. I'm telling you, you're sick. And you come to us with that same old sickness, and you try to tell us that it's a medicine. It's not America, it's IPAC. It's not The UK, it's the Jewish bankers.

It's not Europe, it's the Rothschilds. Oh, you must be out of your mind. You know that Jeff Bezos could eat the entire Rothschilds family for brunch, the Waltons, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, they have more money in their couch cushions than the whole Rothschild's family possesses today. It's not 1917. Wallachia is just embarrassing.

It's embarrassing to see people using, literally using nineteenth and 20 and and twentieth century European anti Jewish propaganda in 2024. And they're saying it like they cracked the code. Your whole ideology is an antique. It's like you want me to stop using a smartphone because you just discovered two cuffs connected by a fishing wire, and you think it's an update. You'll do anything to avoid responsibility for your own actions.

You'll shift the blame to whoever you can. Like I said, it's IPAC. It's the Jewish lobby that's holding everyone hostage in congress. It's not Boeing. It's not Lockheed.

It's not Raytheon. It's not General Dynamics. You know? If it wasn't for those pesky Jews, you wouldn't dream of funneling hundreds of billions of dollars into the weapons sector, would you? No.

You'd never do that of your own volition. No. We're not stupid, and we have a memory. You've always been like this, and you've never changed. This is the only experience we have with you.

And look, we have a memory of the Jews too. Jews lived in the Muslim empire for centuries, and we never had an issue. Your psychotic hatred is the issue. Your psychotic hatred of the Jews, of us, of Africans, of Asians, of anyone and everyone who isn't you. And the truth is you even hate each other.

Your first colonizing experience was against the Irish, and they look just like you. Never mind the fact that you've actually been vicious to your own people in your own countries all along anyway even when they look like you and follow your same religion or your same beliefs if they aren't rich, if they aren't landowners, if they're serfs. Because, yes, it's not really even about Christianity. It's not really even about whiteness. The Irish were disqualified from being considered either one according to you at one time.

Even forget about religion. In fact, there's a direct correlation between your so called enlightenment and colonization. When you supposedly left the dark ages, you went on a mission to extinguish the lights everywhere else. From Africa to Asia, from Latin America to The Pacific, all the peoples of this world have suffered under the the yoke of western aggression. And this isn't just history.

This is our reality. This is our legacy, and this is our struggle. And it's a struggle that continues to this very day. And one of the reasons why this struggle continues is precisely because you continuously lie about this history. You lie about this reality.

You lie about this legacy. And you try to misrepresent and confuse the nature of this struggle by blame shifting and scapegoating and never ever just acknowledging what you have done and what you are doing even though everyone in the world knows.

Okay. Brothers and sisters who just joined, so let us start inshallah. So In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, all praises due to Allah, word of the world. Peace and prayers inshallah be upon the noblest of the messengers, our master and our beloved prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, and his companions and those who follow them, inshallah, in goodness until the day of judgment. So welcome everybody to today's engaging session inshallah, which is basically titled in the same fashion as the video, which is the West blame shifting does not fool us.

Okay? So inshallah, in this discussion today, we, you know, we'll try to correct many historical narratives. Right? And we'll try, in Allah, to look at these different roots of these characteristics of the Austrian civilization. Right?

We'll essentially try to reveal, you know, what this consistent pattern of blame shifting tells us. Right? It mirrors something about the society. Right? So inshallah, we'll travel and try to cover all of this.

And, you know, there is also behind it, right, there in this, like, materialism and sense of entitlement, right, that actually shaped the civilization. Right? And, you know, it often refuses to acknowledge its own failings and atrocities elsewhere and even in their own country. Alright? So, you know, in the video we just heard and to everybody who joins, maybe hasn't watched the video, I'll just try to quickly you know, brother Shahid essentially ridicules this notion, right, that, you know, the Jewish people are behind every evil in the world.

Right? And especially those evils that were actually, you know, quote, unquote, perpetrated by white Christians. Right? Of course, brother then explained that it's not even about color. It's not about, you know, religion.

But mostly, the crimes that were done by these people were blamed upon the Jews. You know? And this kind of antisemitism, which, you know, brother Shahid has mentioned many times, right, in different videos, is somehow deeply ingrained, right, in the roots of this Western civilization. Yeah. They've always, you know, found ways to blame them for anything.

Right? Even when there was some famine or some sickness. Right? It was the Jews. Right?

And this is not just about the Jews. Right? They're always the West's found escape goat for, you know, every societal issue that they have suffered and even are suffering. Right? So for example, today, it's the minorities.

Right? It's the black communities. It's, you know, the Hispanics. It's whatever. Right?

But, you know, is this somehow justified, or does it even reflect reality? And, of course, the answer, you know, presented by our brother is that no. Right? And he illustrated this absurdity of the Western excuses, right, when it comes to their own accountability. Okay?

And, of course, brother Shahid, you know, mentions different historical instances, right, of this germination and exploitation that was essentially blame shifted. Or, like, it wasn't even blame shifted. Right? But he was just trying to present this point where we know what you did. Right?

And, you know, no matter what you say, we know who you are. Right? We know who we are dealing with. So it's just, you know, this facade of, like, trying to blame someone else. It's really, you know, kind of crazy.

So without further ado and trying to think over here, let us start, you know, try to connect all of these dots and, you know, try to somehow uncover this manipulation and deepen our understanding, InshaAllah. So it begins, right, by, you know, essentially, brother Shahid sets the stage, right, on you know, based on some interaction in the live chat. But it is a view, you know, held by many people, and we even fall for it nowadays, right, which is essentially the there's this specific group, right, that influences all global affairs. Right? And we know who we are talking about.

And, basically, what brother Jared tries to convey is that this is just like some diversion technique, right, used to essentially misrepresent facts. Yeah. So, you know, I would maybe just try because since we are talking about this antisemitism, you know, I would maybe like to ask my speakers if, like, why do you think that it was especially, you know, the Jewish community that was designed, like, that had this role of being the scapegoat for, you know, whatever societal or economic problems. Like, why was it specific with them? Right?

What did they do? Like, why has Europe historically been so antisemitic? Right? So, you know, do you like, the anything comes to mind, historical or cultural or even religious, right, in the western civilization that has contributed to this specific targeted blame against the Jewish community?

In my opinion, the the the reason that Jews have been targeted and scapegoated is it has its own evolution over the history of Europe. I think that it started because Christianity itself when it spread in Europe, it it was already a very corrupted version of Christianity that had lost completely. Had completely lost the really any true monotheism in its belief and in its practice. And this in and of itself is contradictory to Judaism. Judaism is a strictly monotheistic religion.

Or anyway, by that time it had become really strictly monotheistic. I mean, there's a there's a long complicated history with their flirtation with shirk and polytheism, but we don't need to get into that. There's a, there's a, a, stark contrast between the idea of the trinity and the idea of the son of God and saints and mother Mary and so forth. And all of the intermediaries that exist in Christianity between the worshipper and God. And of course the entire legal framework of Judaism.

Christianity completely threw away the laws, and basically threw away monotheism. And I think that this it was an initial reason for the friction between the the Judaic community and and Christianity. I mean Christianity of course itself developed as a sect among Jews and and heretical sect that became a, you know, even a blasphemous sect regarded that way by the Jews. And then as I say, as it spread through Europe, it just incorporated pagan practices in order to spread through Europe. And I think that this this created the initial conflict.

And then I think the religious aspect of the animosity between Christians and Jews, Europeans and Jews, they use the the religious pretext for the animosity, whereby Jews were regarded as so called Christ killers. That they were responsible for the killing of the son of God or of God himself, and they were, you know, regarded in this way, and this was used against them. But I don't think by that by the time that was really being used, I don't believe that that was the real reason. I think that was just trying to give a a kind of a religious pretext for the animosity. I think by then the animosity more had to do with the fact that the Jews were what's referred to as a middle man minority in Europe, and that they they sort of occupied an intermediary position in in economies in Europe as such as traders and as merchants, you know, money lenders and so on.

And they tended to prosper financially by facilitating trade between producers and consumers in societies where others were maybe less involved in commerce. They were middlemen. And this their financial success often provoked resentment from the broader population, especially during times of economic hardship with Europe saw quite a bit of that. So these types of communities, and the Jews aren't the only ones who who have occupied that time, that kind of a position as middlemen, so called middlemen minorities. But they're they're viewed as outsiders who disproportionately have a control over wealth and resources, leading to envy and hostility among other, you know, the broader community.

Their economic success, which is undeniable, was was compounded or the or the animosity was compounded because of, the combination of their economic success and their cultural distinctiveness that made them different from the rest of the community, rest of the society. And it was easy to scapegoat them and to discriminate again against them and to be violent towards them. In the case of Jews, I think they also their historical role as bankers, which is actually by the way a position that they got into precisely because of discriminatory practices in Europe and so called anti Semitic practices in Europe, And and became, know, bankers as I say, and merchants and so on. And this was then again combined with the religious and ethnic differences between them and the rest of the Europeans. And this just made it very easy.

They made it made them very easy targets for prosecution. And and the same type of thing, this is why I say it's important to note that they're not the only people in the world who have occupied that kind of a position as a middleman. And that they've they've found that their their that was their best opportunity for prosperity was to act as middleman. The same thing has happened in other or or or has been done by other communities around the world such as the Chinese in Southeast Asia, in places like Indonesia, and Vietnam, and Malaysia, and so on. Indians in places like Uganda, and East Africa generally, even the Lebanese to a certain extent in West Africa.

So and and they are and and they also have faced considerable hostility in those parts of the world. There's there's has historically been a great deal of hostility towards the Chinese in places like Indonesia, where there's even been violence against them. Places like Vietnam and so on. And of course, we know what happened with the Asian community, the Indians and so on. What happened with them in Uganda under Idi Amin.

So there's there's a there's generally speaking, this phenomenon of hostility towards any group of people who is a minority who act as middlemen, and they generally become middlemen because as a minority, those are the, that's the only opportunity that they can find for financial prosperity. And yet even once they find that prosperity, then they get punished for being prosperous in that particular, activity because it's regarded as parasitic. Because they're not creating, they're not manufacturing, and so forth. They're just facilitating between the producers and the consumers, which seems like a superfluous role that they have sort of created for themselves, which may be, may well be the case. But nevertheless, it's it's the way that they have found for success, and it can tend to, cause resentment and, hostility against them.

Because as I say, they're, regarded as that that role, that middleman role can be regarded as parasitic even though it actually does lubricate the movement of goods throughout the economy.

Brother. Yeah. Exactly. Like, I really probably have nothing to add. But, like exactly.

Like, as you know, mentioned right there, we're different minorities and different groups. I it's not only related to the Jews. So maybe I wanted to ask because, know, brother Adi is from I think he's from Europe. Right? And now there are these exactly, like, trying to, again, put the blame on immigrants.

Right? Put the blame on, you know, foreigners, right, somehow. So do you have any ideas, Ali, that you would might share with us? Like, how now it's taking shape this, you know, again, trying to find the scapegoat and blame shift on someone else?

Yeah. Well, the video by brother Shahid was a was a masterclass on how to use sarcasm properly to drive a strong point. But I'd like to actually show better or not better, more precise examples of of the blame shifting since the beginning of of The US. I am I am from The US, although originally from Syria. So I have a little more view on The US tactics.

And it began from the very inception of The US, from the very genocide of the native population. The way they were depicted to everyone was that they were savages, that they were to be subjugated, that they need to be subjugated. They were viewed viewed as subhuman and that a superior race has appeared to show them how they're meant to live. And in return, all that race asked for was their entire continent. As a matter of fact, Winston Churchill himself was quoted to say, I do not admit for an instant that a great wrong has been done to the red Indians of America or the black people of Australia.

I don't admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race and a higher grade race, a more world, wise race, to put, to put it that way, has come in and take their place. Even cartoons like Bugs Bunny normalized that they are just savages. So they genuinely victim blamed in this situation. Or whether the slavery in Africa. They blame the continent of Africa itself for the entire idea of slavery as if the Africans taught them how to lynch and how to hang from trees or how to breed mandignos and fight them to the death.

Even recently, when Kamala Harris visited Ghana, she had the audacity to speak on the so called atrocity of their history of slave trading, never mind the fact that if not for the demand of a market, this wouldn't have been the case. Or the communist, the baby eating monsters bent on world domination. From depicting Captain America as the commie killer to every headline saying the reds want you all dead. America engineered coups all across the world under the guise of communism as if the reds forced them to topple the Syrian government, not their desire for a trans Arabian pipeline to pump Saudi oil across the region. It was those darn commies that forced The US to overthrow Musabdak in Iran to install the shah.

It had nothing to do with the fact that Musabdak was nationalizing Iranian oil and trying to better life for his people. It was communism. Or the Guatemalan president, Jacobo Arbenz, who was trying to nationalize the fruit industry against the United Fruit Company. America's private interest couldn't have been the reason to tell for his government. It was the communist.

And, of course, let's not forget how the communist forced America to rain napalm all across Vietnam in one of the most disgusting and indiscriminate war campaigns you've ever seen. Communism was just so evil that poor America had to just go out and fight it all across the world. The fact that its private interests somehow always managed to be the end result was just a happy accident. America's entire policy, domestically and internationally, starts with assigning blame to the victim, not just America, the West, then feeding that blame until it turns into bloodlust, then quenching that bloodlust with the most atrocious atrocious actions without any responsibility. America's basically like that rapist that will tell you his victim was dressed in a way that was just simply asking for it.

But I'll stop there. And if you want me to touch on on the immigration in Europe, I can come back to that, but I'll

give you a chance to speak, brother. No. Thank you very much. You I think you covered every point, brother Shaykh. You know, in the video where I see, like, mentions exactly this partitioning of Africa.

Right? You know? Exactly. And, again, in the sarcastic manner. Right?

Yeah. Of course, it was, you know, this cabal, right, behind you, the puppet masters. Right? You know, pulling the strings of your brutal conquest, right, of even, like, Latin America. Right?

The Aztecs, the Incas, you know, in The Philippines. Right? Like, everywhere. Right? Always, it must have been someone else.

Right? And, you know, I think that brother Shahid, like, greatly underscores this in like, the importance of recognizing, right, that the European powers, they acted independently. Right? And it was, you know, with full agency. Right?

And it was just in their what was like, imperialistic endeavors. Right? So, you know, I think we need to get a big, you know, step back, right, just to understand, like, you know, this blame shifting is just a way to somehow justify these atrocities. Right? Like, they they try to divert the attention onto someone else.

Right? Even, like, the opium wars, you know, robbing India of its wealth. Right? So, essentially, you know, we can see that in between all of these aspects and you mentioned, right, the Iranian oil. Right?

Like, always, it's something materialistic right behind it. Like, it's always that they're trying to get something from you and, you know, then they blame you for atrocity so that it's able to so they are able to justify stealing from you, basically, right, or doing whatever terrible stuff they did to everyone around the world. Right? So maybe I would just, like, try to ask a bit, like, if we can link it somehow. Like, in my opinion, I see a connection, but I would ask, you know, our speakers if they see this connection as well.

Or I think it has been, you know, emphasized by brother Shahid in many different videos. But, essentially, how has this materialism, right, and this western world view, which I will get inshallah, you know, in a bit also, like, contributed to this blame shifting tendency? Right? Like, what is this psychological background kinda, right, that allows them to justify this blame shifting? Right?

It also, of course, is connected to how they view, you know, humans. Right? You know, like, that we are just merely from animals. Right? We are, you know, basically animals with a brain.

Right? Again, I I think that this view of humans is very easy to then normalize, right, this material superiority over someone else and, you know, blame them for it. Like, it doesn't matter. These are not humans. They are animals.

Right? We see it time and time again. Right? This rhetoric. Yeah.

So how do you think that this materialism and this blame shifting are linked?

Well, I mean, to be honest, you you see this you see this coming in different forms throughout so many, so many areas and so many, so many sectors of the society. So many layers of the so called civilization. I mean, in this in this instance, and what I was talking about here in in that video is blame shifting. But it's another form of blame of blame shifting or or just deviousness in generally advertising and marketing. If you just look at at at how consumerism is really driven, it's driven by trying to inculcate in the consumer a sense of inadequacy of himself or herself.

That the person himself or herself, isn't doesn't have value and doesn't have worth, and can only have worth and value if they buy my product. This is just another form, a a more subtle and nuanced form of the same phenomenon of of blame shifting in a way that you're trying to, for material gain, for material benefit, for yourself, for profit, trying to impose a a kind of unworthiness on the one who you want to get their money from. The one who you want to profit from. You need to trick them in some way. So it's a it's a it's a similar, but adapted form of the, of the same thing.

Now with regards to the actual blame shifting, well, obviously you can't take the blame because then you'd have to stop. You'd have to stop what you're doing. That's accountability. That's self accountability. If you'd if you actually take the blame for what you yourself are doing and take responsibility for what you yourself are doing, well, you can't continue doing it anymore.

So you need to find someone to shift the blame to, otherwise you're going to get, identified as the culprit. You will self identify as the culprit, and then you can't you have to stop your crimes. And if you have no intention whatsoever of stopping your crimes, and you have every intention of continuing your crimes, then the only thing you can do is try to shift the blame to somebody else. I mean, it's a it's just a very basic logical maneuver, a very basic and logical strategy to try to place the blame on somebody else so that you can continue committing the crimes. I think it's it's fairly straightforward.

Yeah. It is. Especially even, like, related to it again, this aspect of, like, dehumanization. Right? Making them seem like it's, you know, not just about shifting the responsibility, but even, like, how you then portray them.

Right? Because, you know, otherwise, you wouldn't be able probably to shift this accountability onto them. Right?

Exact exactly. And and this is this is exactly what what drove colonization all along. It's the it's it's in in fact, it's exactly the same principle as is now used in consumerism, as is now used in marketing and advertising. It's exactly the same, strategy, where they're telling now, consumers on mass that you're not worthwhile, you're not you don't have value, enough, you're inadequate unless you buy my products. That's just a, a a capitalism version of the so called white man's burden of these are all savages and we have to go there to civilize you.

In other words, we're saying that your entire culture, your entire, so called race, your entire nation is uncivilized, is savage, is backwards, is primitive, and you need us to make you better. That's exactly the same mindset, the same mentality that's employed in all consumer marketing. It's the it's the same idea. Just to try to divert and and misdirect attention away from what's actually going on here, which is that I'm trying to sell you worthless goods that you don't need because your money has worth and your your wealth has value. And I want that value that you have, so I have to make you think that you don't have any value and you need my worthless goods to give you worth so that I can have the money that you have that actually has a value.

It's very tricky.

It is. And especially, I like, I feel, you know, the effect is, in two directions. Right? One is to the, you know, the others, right, who are not, you know, the victims of this thing, right, that essentially they are in consensus on your side. Right?

But then even, like, to the targets that you are essentially, you know, the the the victims of your, you know, heinous acts suddenly feel, like, inferior, right, to with respects to, you know, essentially, this inferiority complex, right, comes to set in. Right? So, you know, it's crazy as you mentioned. And, again, it's in the same in consumerism. Right?

Like, give you this inferiority feeling that you essentially need this, and, you know, we are here to give it to you. SubhanAllah. Maybe Yeah.

And and again yes.

And and again, you see it you see it time and time again in various forms. Just like now, if if you look at if you look at Gaza, for example, we we bombed this hospital because it's a a hub of terrorist activity. It's a it's a terrorist headquarters buried under the underneath Shifa Hospital. That's why we did it. You have to you have to, impose some kind of, farfetched guilt and and, menace against your victims so that you can justify victimizing them.

And exactly the same thing goes every single time a police officer, shoots an unarmed person from a so called minority group or even just any average citizen who gets shot by the police in America, an extrajudicial killing by the police, what do they always say? Well, we thought he was armed. We thought he had a weapon. We thought he was a menace, although he wasn't a menace. But he but he must by definition be a menace because we killed him.

That's what determines whether or not you're a menace is whether or not they'd have decided to victimize you. Because you can only be, the the the only way that you can be a victim, of the the power structure is if you're a menace. By definition, whether you are a menace or not.

The

the your status as a menace is determined by the fact that they victimized you. It's the same thing. It's a again, they just it just plays out over and over and over again in various forms.

Yeah. So, there was a point I wanted to add to what, brother Shahid and Ali and Karim were saying is that, not only is that, apparent in in their, acquisition of wealth of the of the conquered peoples or the colonized peoples, but they it also it was extended to to arts. So for example, European museums are renowned for having stolen arts from the world over. Right? And when they were asked back then, in the nineteenth and '18 in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, they would say, we took it.

It is a symbol of our power, and we will keep it because we are able to cherish this civilization, your civilization, you colonized peoples, better than you because we simply took it from you. Right? So you you can't preserve them well because we took it from you. We stole them from you, and so you don't deserve to have them. So we will keep it at our side.

And when colonization was over and the the the arts the artifacts were still in the museums, and there were calls for, like, we have to return stolen art because colonization was not only colonization of land. Colonization was also colonization of a heritage. You know, we they didn't only steal resources. They only they also stole history, culture, arts. And so, again, the the the museum the the the administrators of the museums all over Europe said, we can't send them back because we don't know how they will treat their goods.

We don't know how how they will treat their heritage, their culture. They're not fit enough to to to to preserve them. Again, it's it's it's it's blame shifting because we won't give it back to you because you simply can't have it. You have it. You can't you you simply can't preserve it.

We are able to better preserve it than you ever will. So it's it's it's it's more like a way of life. It's not just con concerning, you know, money and no. No. Everything.

Everything is blame shifted.

And now domestically, I mean, with with America's the larger the largest importer of of opiates to make their drugs, and and they have turned Mexico into their own personal form. Well, a lot of Latin America. And and Mexico is now under the the mercy of these, drug cartels. While everybody is flooding into America, hoping to get away from from the iron fist that the drug cartels are running this country, America is sitting there and calling these people the Mexicans are sending us their worst, calling them criminals, once again, making them subhuman. They created the condition that they're living in, and and they have turned them into subhuman people that need to be ejected, labeling them as illegal, as if you are illegal as a human being.

And and none of them. It's now becoming the biggest talking point in American politics despite inflation, despite the war and all the wars happening around the world. The biggest talking point is illegal immigrants, which were a result of America's need for all these opioids. And once again, at the opioids internally. America is either the only country or one of not many, I'm sure, that direct that have direct to consumer advertising for pharmaceuticals.

Every American from when they're a little kid, they're seeing these commercials about drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, and they have the highest opioid crisis and the highest addiction crisis. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Yeah. That's probably not right. Thank you, brother Ali. Thank you, brother Omar. Yeah.

Brother Shaykh, do wanna add something?

I was just I was just gonna say it's it's one of the most, it it it's amazing that this that that phrase can be said unironically, about, Latin America saying they're not sending us their best. When did the West ever send their best into the global South? They sent their murderers, and their rapists, and their pillagers, and their oppressors, and their tyrants, and their pirates. That's all they ever sent to the global South. And now when you get a little bit of the same, just a little bit, just a small minority, a small percentage of the people who are trying to escape from the pillage and the crime that you created and the poverty and the deprivation that you created in the global South, when they're trying to escape and jump some small percentage of those people, commit crimes in your country, you say that they're not sending their best.

Well, why should they send their best to you? You never sent your best to us.

Yeah. Exactly. It's really, like, eye striking. Right? You know?

Like, I I don't get it. Right? And, of course, like, it needs some, you know, decolonization to be able to see it. But once, you know, a person, inshallah crosses a bit the other side. You know, it's just example after example.

Right? Just the reality keeps on hitting. I mean, you

you don't you don't throw a boomerang out and get a Frisbee back.

Yeah. I don't know who's the boomerang and who's the Frisbee. I understand it, of course, since I love this analogy. So maybe, you know, I will try I would like to somehow shift it a bit to our Islamic perspective. Right?

So, you know, I think that we have to view this from, you know, from this point of view. Right? And, essentially, like, when, you know, we hear about this blame shifting, I it it reminded me, essentially, like, on this, you know, day of judgment, right, where essentially the disbelievers will keep on trying to blame each other for their sins, right, for their misguidance. He's the one who misguided me. He's the you know?

And I feel that, essentially, exactly, this is, like, this behavior present even in today. Right? But I feel that this is essentially, you know, the key of the behavior of Ibris or Shaytan. Right? Like, you know, cannot be possibly me who is wrong.
