If You Don't Know Why 'They' Hate 'You'
February 22nd 2008 08:12
Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine your country is controlled by a foreign power, if you can't imagine such a thing because obviously you belong to the strongest nation on earth imagine a bunch of Aliens in huge spaceships one day decide to start floating over your cities. Then instead of blowing you sorry lot away with their clear superiority (though threatening to do so on their news channels) they instead decide to stick plungers in your pubs and various alcohol retailers and start sucking out the juices so they can power their cars in their alien world.
Now imagine they get lazy and decide they want to instead have you send the bear over to them. So they manipulate your political system, install phony balony 'leaders' who, if you are lucky, will simply say that you must serve your alien masters, though if you're unlucky said leader will more or less destroy whatever society you have and frequently torture and kidnap your friends and family.
So you have no bear, you have no sense of national pride, and you know its the superior alien force hovering over your head that is the cause of this. What do you do when your daughter is killed 'for fun' by a mercenary force not directly related to the alien beings but whose existence is only to serve said alien beings? What about your oh so special leader who has interspecies sex with said alien beings in an effort to keep his positition of power?
Well if you don't pick up a gun, or a bomb, or anything, and fight back then you're playing along and you will live in misery. You also probably are in your old age and have a family to worry about. Then again you probably have kids, who know nothing but oppression, who know, from you, the cause of their oppression is from said evil aliens manipulating your countries political system.
Your boy has no future, he'll pick up a gun and make one for himself or die trying. You know your boy doesn't hate the aliens for no reason, your boy hates the aliens for ruining his life. Will the boy discern between the various aliens? Some who do not approve of whats happening compared to others who do? Maybe, but if they don't then he will sink to the level of his oppressors, be it the aliens, the contracted alien military force or the government, and in the end be no better with his single minded determination to get his way.
What we have now in this political climate is a complicated situation, in cruel irony people who proclaim they 'don't know why the muslim terrorists hate us' in that same sentence demonstrate why 'they' do hate 'us'. Try having your country hijacked from a foreign power and having it literally bled dry of its natural resources (or beer). Try being tortured, bombed, improsned by a foreign power. I promise you won't be able to discern or even be willing to dsciern between friendly westerner and evil war mongering westerner.
Putting aside their unjustifiable actions 'they' hate you because of your own arrogance and how through it you have brought nothing but misery into their lives.

I have to echo Damo and add my own praise to a really poignant piece. I am ashamed to say I belong to such a 'super power', sometimes... I lived in Sydney once, in Lakemba - before it became dangerous for a woman of the alien species.
And just to shoot one at you from left of the field, and as a woman alien, imagine such an earthling (said equal sufferer) coming into your country as a new citizen... imported by those same superpower aliens who invaded your land to suck your beer dry.
These seemingly nice innocent (albeit displaced yet anxious) earthlings, then rape your sisters and heckle them, and then tell them they deserve it becuase of what they wear (or don't wear as the case may be)... about as justified as sucking the beer out of the pub at your place, I'd say?
... and yet it all makes sense in a divide and conquer Alien system, doesn't it?
Wonderful post, appreciated the chance to vent too,
Thanks.

We cannot speak out; we have no voice. ‘They’ meaning ‘us’ say we do. They call it the vote. We call it a hoax. We see what we ‘aliens’ have done for the sake of alcohol; we know the mess that will be left for the young of the nation to try to rectify. We know we will pay for what ‘us’ has done. ‘Us’ has been wrong for several generations. ‘us’ has taken more than alcohol and ‘us’ will have a lot of wrongs to right. I don’t understand why ‘they’ don’t know why ‘we’ are hated. If you ask any of the younger generations ‘we’ can quickly answer that question.
‘Our’ (meaning those of ‘us’ who know we are wrong) aches for the boy and breaks for the daughter. ‘our’ hearts are heavy with the sorrow ‘we’ have caused. When it’s ‘our’ turn to call the shots hopefully we will all find peace.
