Reason First: Is There any Good in Supremacist Groups?

Is it okay for groups to spread evil ideas?

Does it matter if one’s skin color is a few shades lighter than someone else’s? What’s in their brain? What’s in their spirit, or consciousness? White supremacist groups in the state of New Jersey have been designated a higher threat level based on increased propaganda and the possibility for another incident like the shooting at the El Paso, Texas Walmart.

Now, while being a white supremacist is vicious, stupid, and flagrantly un-American, if no crime is involved in the actions of these miscreants, then they should only be monitored with as much scrutiny as groups like Boko Harem who received a “moderate” rating as opposed to a “high” threat alert for those of the paler persuasion. And to say that these groups are extremists is to misassign what the term means. There are extremist capitalists, for example, who abhor all forms of collectivism, especially racism. The nefarious nature of all types of groups who pronounce that they are superior over other groups, that the “mind” is only reserved to those who share a similar chemical makeup, and that the unknown and unknowable often plays a role in these cases is apparent.

Hate crimes consist of nothing. There are no hate crimes, only crimes. Some folks call it a crime of passion, but is there such a thing as a love crime? What these factions represent are irrationality and disregard for individualism. That is the word that strikes fear in ISIS, black and white supremacists, and any other mob ruled by knuckleheads hell-bent on destruction. It is the individual that they cower at on a regular basis. They fail to consider reality and that each man must be judged on his words and actions not on the accident of what ancestry he inherited.

These collectives may disperse all of the propaganda that they wish. They can take to the Internet and use social media to spread their wicked messages. It will all be ironic on some level as these platforms were built by a multitude of races, creeds, and orientations. So, even if they choose subversive sites, they must remember that the Internet itself was not constructed by their ilk.

When a kosher supermarket in Jersey City turned into a bloody scene with four people killed, black supremacist groups became a focal point for the state of New Jersey. On the other hand, white supremacists have claimed the top spot for messages to despoil synagogues among other reasons. But the fact remains that the crimes that these groups commit are done out of not hate or love but indifference. They are indifferent to human life and have no respect for rights.

Laissez-faire capitalism is the only antidote to such nonsense. The businessman is not interested in melanin and hair color but with dollars. He of she could care less about the texture of hair or the color of eyes, they’re focused on the bottom line. Money is the symbol of the mind. Capitalism is the system that permits any man or woman the ability to rise to heights according to their ability and to reap the benefits in a righteous, selfish way. That’s what these collectives lack also and is a precondition to capitalism. This is not in the sense of winning a ribbon for participation to feel good about oneself. No, selfishness means that a thorough, hearty understanding of commiting to the facts and realizing that there are no two things exactly alike in man or the universe. Capitalism is what will ultimately destroy these puny sects who are but ghost faces (black and white) with no substance, no sense of truth.
