Bigots Are Always Cowards

Bigots run in packs because alone they’re Very insecure – and without actually exploring that part of themselves with full curiosity, it’s easier to simply deny, defend and oppose anything that makes them question their bigot ‘program’. Even in packs, they’re cowards, but they’re often led by a low empathy predator that they admire and fear in equal amounts.

I’m not saying that bigots aren’t dangerous on their own – each of them puts what I’m guessing are a Surprisingly Large Amount of friends and family who are conflict avoidant through hell emotionally, mentally and physically.

But you get that low/no empathy charismatic leader who ‘speaks their language’, and there’s nothing they won’t do for that person. Nothing.

The varied NeoNazi ‘flavored’ factions in the US may have fractious relationships within their own groups, and amongst themselves – but as long as ‘Heavenly Father’ keeps up the divisive, hateful rhetoric (against the ‘right’ people) they’ll follow him to the grave.

But it’s a razor’s edge, that ‘control’; that ‘power’.

Because when ‘Heavenly Father’ invariably slips up, they’ll come for him. And they’ll feast on his bones for betraying them. Because it’s all they know.

These groups are perfect breeding grounds for cults. The fear. The rage. The hate.

And they’re Making Themselves feel that shit internally.

All day.
Every day.
Day and night.

Always ‘sleeping with one eye open’ emotionally, mentally and physically.

It’s gotta be exhausting.

You can see it in the faces of the folks who have chosen this particular path. They don’t look at all healthy. Some look as though they’re actually melting, as if all of that hateful rage thrashing around inside themselves is eating their aliveness from the inside.

And if that isn’t hell, I don’t know what is.

But suffering is a kink in certain religious paths, apparently.

I mean, I don’t wanna yuck anybody’s yum – until you make the Active Choice to take that suffering out on those around you instead of learning how to handle/direct it in a constructive, healthy way.

And, at this point in my life I can’t imagine feeling so emotionally, mentally and physically trapped that I wouldn’t choose to leave a situation where a low/no empathy person who is clearly looking to cause social and emotional upset decided that it was their job to make me feel like shit about myself today.

Because that’s LITERALLY what that shit is.

All that ugliness inside themselves pours liberally out at the people they encounter throughout their lives.

Know that this is All THEIR SHIT.

Not yours.

And you can OPT OUT. You can Just Walk Away. Leave them holding it. Don’t accept it.

When you work to Know Yourself, it gets a lot easier to clock the low/no empathy folks who actively mean you harm so you can avoid them.

The best first step you can take towards this? Get Curious about literally everything you do, and find out why you do it.

It’ll be the best gift you give to yourself.
