Envy, Fear of Envy and Black Magic

We’ve all got the “been there, done that” scars from High School, but most of us have forgotten what the effect a dense-cluster peer group has on the individual. Jack Wheeler, writing for the Freedom Research Foundation, inadvertently brushes against it while disassembling the liberal mind’s bent to cultural suicide in his article The Secret of the Suicidal Liberal Mind.

Inner city schools have cultural acceptance issues that seem to go beyond the us-against-them teenage mindset. ‘Trying’ is discouraged because ‘failing’ is subject to ridicule, is the common meme, therefore let no one fail.

Wheeler instead points to research done by cultural anthropologists that the primitive culture’s belief in black magic and witchcraft is associated with envy and the fear of envy. His thesis is that, “What the Left calls ‘exploitation’ is what anthropologists call ‘black magic.’”

What may be more important in educational examples is that peer pressure is envy of success, and that fear of envy is keeping the man down. You stick out, you become a target. Better we all suffer than anyone leave the hood.

Read the article. Some of you may have to wash it through your mind to get past the neo-con agitprop, but bear in mind the rest of us have to do the same thing from the other side every day with the daily newspaper.
