Victimology — A Guest Post by Albert Perez

I say a lot of true things, and rather well, by and large.  But I yield first place to Albert Perez, who uses a keyboard like a katana, and doesn't waste a single word striking to the truth of things.  Here he wipes out the whole "victimology" meme in one draw-and-strike.  Banzai!

Meditations from watching Buffy reruns, with apologies to El Neil and Neale (spelled the right way)

You know it's not their fault.

Vampire become vampires because another vampire bit them. Werewolves become werewolves because a werewolf bit them. Zombies become zombies because a zombie bit them. (actually in real life zombies become zombies because they pissed off a Houngan or Mambo and they were drugged.) .

The point is that all these monsters are all victims. No one gives them a pass for being victims. We are expected to stake, stab with silver blades, shoot with siver bullets, and or behead these guys. They may be victims but if we don't put the whack on them we are the next victims. 

We don't give monsters a pass because they are victims. Yet this is exactly how we are expected by various right groups to treat people. Do not hold them accountable for their acts, they are the victims of poverty, racism, child abuse. They are victims and therefore not morally responsible for their acts. We will allow them tantrums, we will not allow them to take responsibility for their acts and thus gain power to control their destinies.

Victims they were, victims they shall remain. And when someone is finally forced to destroy them in self defense, it is the people acting to defend themselves, not the monsters who did wrong. At least according to the false liberal.

There is a fourth kind of monster, the Jeckyll and Hyde monster. He becoes a monster when he drinks the formula he created. If you will he drank the Koolaid.

Liberals drink a lot of Koolaid.
