There’s an obvious answer to the question, “Why would Jussie Smollett do something like that?”

Jussie Smollett’s hoax is symptomatic of America’s illness. Because of the mainstreaming of academia’s victimhood culture, we are now in a place where we place more value on being a victim than on being heroic, charitable, or even kind. Victims or victim groups high on intersectionality points are supposed to be coveted, treated with child gloves, and believed unreservedly. Their “lived experience” gives them infinite wisdom. Those who urge caution are treated as bigots.

Outside of the rare prosecution for faking a hate crime, the incentives for being a victim — real or imagined — are endless.

Anyone not blinded by bias or panic should have been skeptical of Smollett’s story from the beginning. He openly harbors an intense hatred for Donald Trump and his supporters, going so far as comparing them to Klansmen. That his alleged attackers perfectly fit this description should have raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. The cartoony, screenplay-villain portrayal of white Trump supporters was outrageously comical. But to insulated urban progressives who have little to no experience interacting with conservatives, a Trump supporter may as well be synonymous with evil.

“Hate-crime hoaxes are found in collective conflicts,” Jason Manning tells me. Manning is a sociologist at West Virginia University and a co-author of the 2018 book The Rise of Victimhood Culture. “Perpetrators might not even think of them as [false] accusations since in many cases they see it as an attempt to draw attention to a real problem. To the extent that modern society increasingly valorizes victimhood, claiming victim status through outright lies will become more attractive.”

While I can only speculate as to Smollett’s motives, perhaps a clue can be found in his bioline on Twitter. Smollett writes: “I am simply here to help save the world.”

Democrats just keep falling for hoaxes that make them feel better about themselves. Facts don't matter.

Kavanaugh spiked drinks and gang-raped girls.

"Lawyer Michael Avenatti, who represents adult film star Stormy Daniels, tweeted Wednesday that he is representing Julie Swetnick and released a sworn declaration from her accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault."

Hmm, this was blamed on "white nationalists", "white supremacists" and neo-Nazis.
Pretty sure this dude is none of those.

Local KCCI-Des Moines ran a story yesterday headlined, “Man who admitted damaging Satanic Temple display at Iowa Statehouse charged with hate crime.”

In case you missed it, the Satanic Temple, based in Salem, Massachusetts, took advantage of Iowa law, followed the rules, and erected a demonic papier-mâché Baphomet ‘statue’ in Iowa’s Capitol Building for Christmas. Michael Cassidy, a man of action and combat veteran, went to the Capitol, knocked down the revolting display, and promptly surrendered to nearby police officers. The first-time nonviolent offender was properly charged with fourth-degree misdemeanor mischief and released.

On Friday, Michael’s lawyers’ nerveless fingers dropped the phone, stunned to discover that Iowa prosecutors opened an “investigation” and boosted Michael’s charges to much more serious third-degree felony mischief, under an Iowa hate crimes law allowing enhancement when there’s any “violation of individual rights.”

Hey. Come on now. We’re talking about a serious, out-of-control criminal element that threatens the very fabric of society: hate crimes conducted against Satanic statues. May Beelzebub bless those diligent Iowa prosecutors for holding the line! This wasn’t a victimless crime, as though he were here illegally and demonically attacked some cops in Times Square or anything:




I’m totally sure the fiendish undocumented migrants will show up for their court hearings. Sure, that will happen. I’d bet Nancy Pelosi’s stock portfolio on it.

What? You think Luciferian people who attack cops in mobs are more dangerous than a master-level criminal white guy with no record who deliberately pushed over a papier-mâché statue? Listen, we need to reserve the resources of our legal system for handling real criminals, people who represent a danger to the community, not cop-attacking migrants with criminal records but folks who protested vaccine mandates:




In case that lady isn’t sufficiently scary, what about the lawless criminals who prayed in a building containing an abortion clinic and refused to leave when the clinic staff asked them, and who are now getting what they deserve on federal hate crimes charges, which apparently is up to 11 years in federal prison and a $260,000 fine — each:




And don’t even get me started on the scurrilous January 6th Capitol protestors.

Thank goodness the Blue States are cracking down on this epidemic of quiet conservative protest! Who knows where this totally-peaceful protesting could lead? Probably to a civil war or something, which might be exactly what they get if they keep the two-tiered justice system running for much longer.

Oh, and FYI: Cassidy originally closed down his GiveSendGo, having raised $20K for defending a misdemeanor. Now that he’s facing a felony, he’s re-opened his fundraiser, in case you want to pitch in.

It's a late term murder clinic.

Navy vet being charged with a hate crime for beheading Baphemat statue in Iowa. If Epstein didn't clue you into what side your government is on, is it getting through now..?
