Why Bigotry and Elitism are Corruptions
 

Bigots and elitists consider themselves to be superior. That wouldn't be any problem if it were true. But it is a psychologically condition reaction. This means it conflicts with objective reality. Because of the conflict, bigots and elitists need to steal everyone else's property and prevent anyone else from living. They need to steal property from others, because they are not really constructive; and they need to prevent anyone else from living, because they are not competitive, and they feel threatened by the betterment of others, which is jealousy.

Bigotry is the subconscious assumption that power is virtue and powerlessness is sin. This attitude destroys life. Each person is a little bitty thing in the universe. If powerlessness is sin, everyone is condemned to persecution. But power reverses the logic. If everyone is attached to power, primarily the power of numbers, then they are virtuous. There's the disease and the fix.

In other words, instead of corrupt persons saying, "hey wait, we aren't corrupt just because we're powerless," they say, "Hey wait, we aren't powerless; we're part of a great big mob who will walk over anyone who gets in our way."

Thus the product of bigotry is to walk over anyone who gets in the way.

Christ proved the truth with his own life. He healed the sick, fed the hungry and taught morality; and he was crucified for it. If he would have been a power monger, he would have been worshipped. But he was opposed to mongering power. Instead, he walked with the nobodies outside the gate. He had to be crucified for being a nobody.

Then of course, the bigots had to reverse the truth. So they said that murdering Christ was a good deed, because it pleased God. They needed a murderer and liar to make such a claim. God supposedly appointed a murderer and persecutor of Christians to inform people of such an illogical fact. You wouldn't want a rational person saying something so absurd.

Bigotry and elitism are closely related. In fact, all manifestations of corruption stem from one attitude, which is domination. It's because of the need to dominate that power must be virtue. It takes power to dominate and to avoid being dominated.

Elitism is the subconscious assumption that worthy persons must be built up and unworthy persons must be degraded. Elitists assume they define their own status through the persons whom they are associated with. It's increasing the power of status through connectedness.

Power is the positive reinforcement for the psychological conditioning of corruption. This means that power is a drug which makes sin seem like virtue. But how virtuous is it to destroy others for one's own gain? Will not everyone be destroyed by such a standard, if it is not corrected? Who is supposed to benefit, and who is supposed to lose? Corrupt persons assume they will benefit, while someone else loses. A few cannot benefit, while everyone else loses. Any appearance of gain is only fools gold. The perpetrators can only destroy themselves in trying to destroy others. That's what Christ taught about morality.

These forces show up as a war against the lower classes. When bigots talk about communism, they don't mean a system of government, they mean a concern for the lower classes. They often call liberals communists because of their concerns for social justice. But the so-called communists aren't talking about changing the form of government. What is wrong about the so-called communism of liberals? Is there something corrupt about promoting social justice? Bigots assume there is. Social justice defeats the war against the lower classes, and bigots assume that purpose to be a corruption.

The worst bigots actually assume that social justice is a corruption. Even when the communist label is not in vogue, they assume that fighting a war against the lower classes and social justice is what every worthy person is doing. It was an underlying force in crucifying Christ. He was supposedly a threat to the social order for promoting social justice. To this day, bigots are doing everything they can to kick the economy out from under the feet of the lower classes as a supposedly noble cause, which includes everything from the IMF destroying economies in the third world to bigots destroying welfare systems in the affluent societies.
