Moral Superiority

An article in the NYTIMES Magazine chides Germans for not being too welcoming to refugees. “I had no idea what people were saying,” the reporter chirps stupidly, “But it sounded like they said the word ‘refugee’ and they didn’t look pleased!” You can practically see the reporter ooze superiority to these anti-refugee bastards.

The article is accompanied by a photo featuring a group of refugees and Germans together. The photo is captioned “Evelyn Beilhack, Beni Beilhack, right, and Luca Beilhack, second from right, with refugees from Syria at the residence for asylum seekers in Eisenärzt.” Note that the refugees are not entitled to names while the Germans get the same last name repeated 3 times. Refugees are a backdrop to the Beilhacks who are treated as individuals and not as a concept.

Those who are the most self-righteous are usually the greatest bigots.

  1. This is why I’m glad I am not a Christian or was raised religiously, I don’t have guilt about not giving a shit😁 Or it could be seen as a manifestation of guilt by secular people, somehow they feel guilty for having nice things and living in a peaceful country like Germany and feel they have to help their “lessers”. I really don’t have patience for this, if I have something nice no one else gets it, I learned this lesson in school when kids would “borrow” stuff and either break them or not give it back. The reporter can go pound sand😁
