Liberal Victimhood

Liberal Victimhood

There Have Been Over 100 Liberal Hate Crime Hoaxes In The Past Decade

Victimhood is profitable. On the internet, it can get you thousands of dollars in crowdfunding donations. In the media, it can win you national prominence and a cooing audience of credulous sycophants. On campus, it can get you attention and plaudits from fellow grievance-mongers.

Convince enough people you’re a victim, and everyone from presidential candidates to celebrities will come rushing to support you.

So it’s little wonder that charlatans and opportunists regularly seek to take advantage of our species’ natural instinct for empathy. False flags, in which people deliberately stage attacks on themselves to win the support of society, are as old as history itself.

That isn’t an exaggeration, by the way. They’re really as old as history itself. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus once recalled how Peisistratos, a man who would become the dictator of Athens, staged a fake attack on himself to gain the support of the city:

Wounding himself and his mules, he drove his wagon into the marketplace, with a story that he had escaped from his enemies, who would have killed him (so he said) as he was driving into the country. So he implored the people to give him a guard. Taken in, the Athenian people gave him a guard of chosen citizens … These rose with Peisistratos and took the Acropolis; and Peisistratos ruled the Athenians. 

Faking assassination attempts are risky these days, and the benefits are questionable. A failed murder attempt might make the local news, but unless you’re already a celebrity or a politician, there isn’t much to be gained. Claim to be a victim of a hate crime, though, and half of today’s uber-progressive, touchy-feely society will run to your doorstep to offer its support.

That’s assuming you get away with it, of course. The typical victim hoax is so clumsily implemented that it is only believable to those that are well trained to embrace their victimhood status and, as is also necessary, suspend their critical faculties.

That’s why they don’t work so well on conservatives, who are more sceptical of such claims. Think of Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz blaming Roger Stone and the Trump campaign for the “sex scandal” story, when it was widely known that Little Marco’s people were the ones shopping the story.

Victimhood isn’t just used to push agendas and win power. It can also be used to make money. Professional victims like feminist pest Anita Sarkeesian have received thousands of dollars in donations after complaints about unkind words on the internet.

Little wonder that there’s been such an epidemic of hate crime hoaxes in the past few years, particularly among regressive activists on university campuses. We’ve seen students scrawl swastikas on the doors of their own dorm rooms, send themselves anonymous rape threats, and falsely accuse fraternities of queer-bashing.

So severe is the problem, lawyer and author Mike Cernovich has taken it upon himself to compile a guide on how to recognise common patterns in these hoaxes.

An epidemic of lies

This got Breitbart thinking. How many hate crime hoaxes have occurred in, say, the past decade? Progressives seem to get busted every other month, but surely that’s just our own biased impression.

When we started our search, we were expecting to find twenty, perhaps forty examples from the past decade of high-profile hate crimes that turned out to be frauds.

If only. We found over a hundred, spread across race, gender, sexuality and religion.

Perhaps thanks to the effect of social media and citizen-led sleuthing, reports of hate-crime hoaxes undergo a massive surge in the years after 2011. 2015 seems to have been a high point — our search found over 20 incidents in that year alone.

Then again, we’re only a quarter of the way through 2016. There have already been four major hate crime hoaxes this year.

And consider this: those are just the ones that were reported. How many other hate crime hoaxers are still out there, undiscovered and unpunished? It’s impossible to say, but given human empathy’s tendency to override scepticism, we suspect the number is high — and probably rising. Because the left is running out of real haters.

As  British journalist Douglas Murray likes to say, the Left has a supply-and-demand problem with bigotry. There simply isn’t enough of it to go around, so reporters have to go “rape shopping” like Sabrina Erdely did for Rolling Stone, or they have to enlarge the definitions of “racism” and “homophobia” to include minuscule perceived infractions, called “microaggressions.”

If you live in an Anglosphere nation, you are living in one of the most tolerant, peaceful societies in recorded history. Attitudes towards women’s rights, gay rights, and the rights of other races have never been more progressive. Among Millennials, attitudes to abortion, gay marriage, and other social issues are vastly more liberal than their parents. If history is any guide, the next generation is likely to be even more socially liberal.

With the Left reduced to chasing imaginary microaggressions and pizza-shop owners who’d rather not cater lesbian weddings, it’s little wonder that they have to turn to hoaxes to convince the public that bigotry is still alive and well.

It will do them no good. Despite the scaremongering, bigotry in western nations is in terminal decline. Soon, only the hoaxes will remain.

We can’t be far off from social justice education at top universities including courses on effective victim hoaxing. This may seem incredibly brazen to those of us with a modicum of integrity, but it isn’t a big step from where we are today. After all, we already have courses that do little more than teach students that straight white males are the devil and which peddle outright conspiracy theories such as the “patriarchy” and “systematic oppression.”

On the bright side, candidates for the PhD in SJW Hoax Studies may be hired by the CIA for false flag operations abroad, marking the first time a graduate of a left-wing course has been hired anywhere outside of academia, diversity offices and McDonalds.

Interestingly, false flag hoaxes in the West almost exclusively use white males at the hoax’s target. Why not use Militant Islam which is a much more believable aggressor?

I guess one explanation is that it’s hard to fake chopping your head off, or having you and your loved ones blown to bits, when you can, as a Tennessee lesbian couple famously did, burn your own house down after scrawling QUEERS on the front wall to collect the insurance money.

The media, and society as a whole, needs to become less gullible. Activists ought to give the police at least a week to determine the culprit before leaping to Twitter to coin the next hip protest hashtag. Journalists should let the police investigate before writing long, sympathetic stories about what the “hate crimes” say about our allegedly bigoted society.

Because, in reality, there’s only one thing that these hoaxes say about our society: that we’re all mugs. Especially white people, who typically serve as the villains in these hoaxes and beat themselves up every time one of these nasty progressive liars dreams up a poop swastika.

The Top 30 Fake Hate Crimes Busted Since Election Day

Since November 9, the day Donald J. Trump became the President-Elect of the United States, the media has erupted in reports of “hate crimes” against a large swath of liberal focus groups, especially Muslims. However, despite early reports, it also turns out that nearly every single one of those reports turned out to be a hoax. So, here are the top thirty fake hate crimes since Election Day.

But before we get to the list, though, at least one American Muslim has spoken up to tell his fellow Americans to stop it with the fake hate crimes. Siraj Hashmi took to the pages of Red Alert Politics to tell his fellows to just cut it out.

Hashmi warned the fakers that they are only hurting themselves along with anyone who might suffer a real hate crime by turning all so-called hate crimes into mere cries of wolf in the eyes of the American peole. Hashmi said, “please don’t make up a hate crime, especially when these incidents are so politically charged. Faking a hate crime questions the credibility of anyone and everyone who suffers from real hate crimes.”

It is sound advice, indeed. But the only flaw in Hashmi’s point is that, thus far at least, it seems as if the only “hate crimes” we are seeing ARE the fake ones!

Anyway, starting on the day after the November 9 announcement that Donald Trump was to become our 45th U.S. president, here are the top 30 fake hate crimes:

#1: Minnesota Police Say it Never Happened

On November 10 the Minneapolis Police Department assured the city that there was never any hate crime reported despite the rumors of one started on social media.

#2: Busted Tale of 4 White Men Harassing Black Woman in Delaware

In another story where police noted that they were never told of any such crime, a black woman in Delaware made the claim that four white men attacked her at a gas station in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. There is no proof it ever happened and the woman who made the claim deleted her Facebook post and disappeared from social media.

#3: Vandalism of Trump and Nazi Slogans Appears to be Black Man

Though police in Philadelphia refused to identify the race of a suspect in the spray-paint vandalism featuring pro-Trump and pro-Nazi slogans on a local building, surveillance video appears to show a black man is the top suspect.

#4: UL Student Busted for Lying About Racial Attack

The story of a University of Louisiana Lafayette student who said she was beaten and had her Muslim headscarf pulled of her head by mean “wearing Trump hats” fell apart after police became involved. The student later admitted she lied about the whole thing.

#5: Blacks Claim They Beat A Man for Flaunting His Vote for Trump

A group of black teens beat a white man and stole his car in Chicago because they claimed he was flaunting his vote for Donald Trump. Police investigated and found the man had no Trump paraphernalia or bumper stickers and he made no mention of Trump during the attack.

#6: SPLC ‘Report’ Portrays Many Fake Hate Crime Incidents as Real

The Southern Poverty Law Center are experts at fake hate crimes. Not because they report on them but because some of what they report is fake in and of itself! Indeed, just after the election the SPLC put out an absurd report regurgitating a list of crimes it claimed were hate crimes many of which were later proven to be hoaxes.

7:University Snowflakes Upset Over ‘Bye Bye Latinos’ Message, But Hispanic Wrote It

Snowflake students at Elon University in North Carolina were initially frightened by a message left on a classroom white board that read “Bye Bye Latinos Hasta La Vista.” But it later turned out a Hispanic student who was mad at Trump wrote the slogan on the board.

#8: Reporter Turns Trump Sign Into a ‘Sign of Racism’

A reporter talking about a “Trump for President” sign posted on the campus of the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point decides that this MUST BE RACISM. There was nothing obviously racist about it, but the reporter made up his own fake news.

#9: USA Today Falsely Claims Hate Crimes See ‘Dramatic Rise’

A November 14 report in USA Today makes the false claim that hate crimes had seen a “dramatic rise” since election day. But most of these crimes have since been revealed as hoaxes.

#10: Chicago Student Claims She is Sexually Harassed

An openly bi-sexual student at North Park University in Chicago made national headlines after claiming she was sexually harassed by a sign taped to her door reading “Back To Hell #Trump.” She later admitted she made it all up.

#11: KKK Vandalism on Massachusetts Campus a Hoax

Students and faculty at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, were shocked by vandalism reading “AMKKK Kill.” It was later found to have been a hoax perpetrated by liberal students pretending to be Trump supporters in order to stir up fellow liberals on campus.

#12: Kentucky Student Lies About Racial Slur

A student at Bowling Green State University told police she was attacked by white men in Trump shirts who threw rocks at her and called her names. After a police investigation, Eleesha Long admitted she lied about the whole thing.

#13: Police Find Racial Attack Never Happened

At the same time Eleesha Long was lying to police about an attack she never suffered at Bowling Green State University, police also took a report from a black man who claimed he was beaten, robbed, and had racial slurs yelled at him. Police later revealed that the incident as a hoax.

#14: Man Admits Vandalizing His Own Trunk

This hoax runs in the other direction as a white man in Texas reported a hate crime against him when his truck was vandalized with Black Lives Matter graffiti. Turns out he did it himself to gain sympathy and to reap the reward of the $6,000 sent to him by well wishers from a crowd source fundraising page.

#15: ‘Trump Country’ Attack Never Happened

A black man in Malden, Massachusetts, told police he was attacked by white men yelling that he was going to be lynched because this nation is now “Trump country.” Police discovered later that the “crime” never happened.

#16: College Snowflakes Call ‘Suck it Up Pussies’ Note a ‘Hate Crime’

Snowflake students at Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin, melted when a post it note saying, “Suck it up, pussies!” and featuring a smiley face with its tongue sticking out was found on a window of the Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion. School officials called the silly incident a “hate crime.” The claim couldn’t be sillier and qualifies as a fake hate crime, without question.

#17: Snowflake Professor Claims Anti-Muslim Hate Crime

University of Oklahoma Professor Mashhad Fahes claims she was handed anti-Muslim propaganda and that she reported this “hate crime” to campus police before running to Facebook to make a stir. Campus police, though, say no report was ever made so the professor’s claim seems to be nothing but anti-Trump propaganda.

#18: Trump Rules Painted on Wall, Hoax Hate Crime

Police in Philadelphia initially investigated spray-painted vandalism reading “Trump Rules” as a hate crime. But it turned out a black man committed the crime. So, it was hate-crimus interruptus for local police hoping for a big case to get in the news.

#19: University Student Suddenly Refuses to Help Investigation into So-Called Hate Crime Attack

Philadelphia authorities ended a hate crime investigation filed by a black Villanova University woman who claimed she was beaten by men yelling “Trump, Trump, Trump” because the so-called victim suddenly clammed up and refused to cooperate.

#20: Man Set Fire to Own Home to Create Fake Racial Incident

In a second case of the very few incidents where a white man perpetrated a racially tinged hoax, a New York fireman was arrested for setting his own home on fire in an effort to frame the Black Lives Matter movement for the crime.

#21: Black Man Pleads Guilty to Setting His Own Mosque on Fire

A black man in Texas pleaded guilty to setting his own mosque on fire in a case that was at first assumed to be an anti-Muslim hate crime.

#22: Black Man Admits Faking Trump/KKK Note

A black man in Orlando, Florida, told police that he was the victim of race hate when a brick was thrown through his girlfriend’s car window and a note reading “KKK” and “Trump” was left behind. Fire fighters immediately felt that the car fire was suspicious. He later admitted that he is the one who did the damage.

#23: Students Cleared of Hate Crime

Two students at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, were cleared after they were falsely accused of harassing other students with a Trump flag and by yelling “Make America Great Again.”

#24: Muslim Girl Admits Lying About Trump Attack

A Muslim teen in New York City said she was attacked by white men wearing Trump hats on the New York City subway. But the faux victim, teenager Yasmin Seweid, later admitted she lied to draw attention away from being in trouble with her parents for staying out too late and for wanting to date a white boy.

#25: Sister Claims Hate Crime Happened Even Though it Didn’t

In a second story related to Yasmin Seweid’s lies about being attacked in a New York subway, the faker’s sister, Sara Seweid, went public to insist that her sister was still a victim of anti-Muslim hate because evil American society made her lie. So, even when a hate crime isn’t committed… it’s a hate crime… or… or something.

#26: Muslim Arrested for Nazi Graffiti in New York

Police imagined they had a hate come on their hands when Nazi Swastikas were left on walls at Long Island College. Police later called the incident a hoax and charged a 20-year-old Muslim man, Jasskirat Saini, for the crime.

#27: Muslims Claim They Are Thrown Off Delta Airline Flight Just for Being Muslim

A pair of Youtube cretins manufactured a video to make it look like they were thrown off a Delta Airlines flight just because they were Muslim. Later reports showed they were lying and intended to be thrown of so they could make a hoax video of the whole faux incident.

#28: Michigan College Dismisses Hate Crime Hoax

Police in Ann Arbor, Michigan, were forced to dismiss a hate crime report when no evidence could be found for claims made by a Muslim woman who said she was attacked by a Trump supporter. Video from half a dozen different surveillance cameras in the area not only didn’t show the alleged attack, they video didn’t even prove the “victim” was there, either! The woman later admitted she was a lair.

#29: Mississippi Church Burning Committed by Black Man, Not Trump Voter

Police in a small, predominantly black Mississippi town have now proven that a black man burned a local black church and left Trump related graffiti. The “hate crime” aspect of the investigation has been canceled.

#30: Man Found to Have Vandalized His Own Home With ‘Ni**er’ Graffiti

For a third tale of da-white-man-dunnit, a white man in Texas has been charged with filing a false report after police found out he spray-painted “Ni**er Lovers” on his own garage.

With all this, there is a lesson. There may, indeed, be a lot of hate in the U.S.A. After all, it is the human condition. But this wild-eyed claim that there are hate crimes being perpetrated everywhere is far more of a myth than a reality.
