THE PSYCHOLOGIST : Calling all Warriors

Calling all Warriors

I have a confession to make – I used to love watching the WWF. Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, Summer Slams, and the awesome Royal Rumbles.

It was pure cheese but back in the mid 80’s, in the days of Demolition, the Hart Foundation, “Hacksaw” Jim Dougan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Rowdy Roddy Piper “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, Tito Santana, George “The Animal” Steele, Big Boss Man, The Rockers, The Iron Sheik, Nikolia Volkoff, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Hercules, Hillbilly Jim, The Moondogs (Joe and Spot I think), etc it was entertaining cheese.

I don’t think there was any doubt that it hit its peak in 1990 at Wrestlemania VI with the title match between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior.

Sure it was still ok with some great Summer Slams and Survivor Series from about 91 to 93 but from there it descended rapidly into the utter shit it is today. When the best catch phrase someone can come up with is “Suck it” you know you really are scraping the scum off the bottom of the barrel.

Anyway, back to point. Since retiring from wrestling, The Ultimate Warrior has in recent time dedicated a lot of time to (among other things) public speaking and seminars – but not about his wrestling exploits – rather about his life philosophies and what he calls Warrior Conservatism.

Allow me to share with you some of his thoughts

On going to war in Iraq

"Our going to the United Nations to seek approval is like me asking the bum on the street for approval to do what it is I need to do to make my life work. It used to be that when someone wanted to know how to do something right, be the best at what they had their mind set on doing, they would go and seek guidance from the best.

America is the best. America is its own mentor. Because it is it should not be asking third world thugs what it should do. The United Nations is a disgrace to humankind. They have never stood for, or up to, anything. America should airlift it in its entirety and drop it along with the first bomb."

and

"Those Americans who want America to get United Nations approval are Anti-American. There are many people in favor of the war who preface their arguments by saying that they are "not calling anybody Anti-American." They are wrong...

...Because as long as they are passive and nonjudgmental on this vital distinction, the philosophy of America they say they want to preserve is going down the toilet, and if they are contributing to that, they are UN-American."

On Bill KKKlinton

"Clinton’s “My LowLife” is contaminating book stores."

and

"Billary tells us he prodded thy young, sluttish cow named Lewinsky "because I could." There’s your epitaph, Clinton. Fits the pragmatic, patheticness of your life perfectly, and all that your cause stands for."

On the 2004 crushing election victory

"Kerry talks, in his concession speech, about common ground, bridging the divide, unity, etc. How? Evade reality and enable moral relativity? Tell my kids what they see, touch, smell and hear is not real if some other human being says so, denies so? No thanks. Kiss my warrior ass. For almost four years, two of it the campaign period, you liberal lesions have demonized decency, tradition and values, and I don't plan to forget it. I will celebrate this victory with a full-blown chest -- pseudo Conservatives say not to gloat, while pure Conservatives know not to have any jackets custom-made for the next few days due to the ribcage swelling -- but I will at the same time reload all my weapons -- physically, mentally and spiritually -- to fight to take you out. Those of us thinking know what you have planned: The Wicked Witch of 2008 waits in the wings."

There is heaps more gold like this over at his website http://www.ultimatewarrior.com/

It looks like there will be a lot added over the course of the year and this is one Warrior who has had his Warrior-ness reaffirmed.

Get on over there and check it out now.

And if there is still any doubt as to what a true champion this guy is, I will leave you with this:

"Cheney saying F’yourself to Patrick Leahy on the Senate Floor. Many are worried that civility is dead. Frankly my faith in it has been a tad bit restored.

Cheney telling Leahy to F’yourself is the most civil (and rational) act I’ve heard of since I’ve been paying attention to politics. I would have rated it as an even higher level of civility if Cheney had jacked his jaw and laid the pompous, duplicitous blowhard flat out on his back right there on the pristine Senate floor, then straddled over him, giving that twatish Leahy a dick-in-the-dirt view at real balls, then like John Wayne, thrown in another F’yourself for old-fashioned, traditional measure."

Oh yeah.

Background

The essence of conservatism is caution. The essence of Leftism is anger

This blog is written solely by John Ray, who has a Ph.D. degree in psychology and 200+ papers published in the academic journals of the social sciences. It does occasionally comment on issues in psychology but is mainly aimed at giving a conservative psychologist's view on a broad range of topics. There are very few conservative psychologists.

The blog originated in Australia and many (but not most) posts discuss Australian matters. Australians have an unusually good awareness of events outside their own country. Australian newspapers feature news from Britain and the USA not as an afterthought but as a major part of their coverage. So Australians do tend to have a truly Western heart, which is the reason behind the old name for this blog. So events in Australia, Britain and the USA all feature frequently here, plus occasional coverage of other places, particularly Israel.

A primer in American politics for non-Americans:

SCOTUS is the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court in the land

The "GOP" stands for "Grand Old Party" and refers to the Republican party. The GOP is at present center/Right, while the Democrats have been undergoing a steady drift Leftwards and now have policies similar to mainstream European Leftist parties.

The ideological identity of both parties has however been very fluid -- almost reversing itself over time. In the mid 19th century, the GOP was the party of big government and concern for minorities while the Democrats advertised themselves as "The party of the white man" -- an orientation that lasted into the mid 20th century in the South. The Democrats are still obsessed with race but have now flipped into support for discrimination AGAINST whites.

Was Pope Urban VIII the first Warmist? Below we see him refusing to look through Galileo's telescope. People tend to refuse to consider evidence— if what they might discover contradicts what they believe.

Global warming

Calibrated in whole degrees. Larger graph here

Climate scientist Lennart Bengtsson said. “The warming we have had the last 100 years is so small that if we didn’t have meteorologists and climatologists to measure it we wouldn’t have noticed it at all.”

The term "Fascism" is mostly used by the Left as a brainless term of abuse. But when they do make a serious attempt to define it, they produce very complex and elaborate definitions -- e.g. here and here. In fact, Fascism is simply extreme socialism plus nationalism. But great gyrations are needed to avoid mentioning the first part of that recipe, of course.

Two examples of Leftist racism below (much more here and here):

Beatrice Webb, a founder of the London School of Economics and the Fabian Society, and married to a Labour MP, mused in 1922 on whether when English children were "dying from lack of milk", one should extend "the charitable impulse" to Russian and Chinese children who, if saved this year, might anyway die next. Besides, she continued, there was "the larger question of whether those races are desirable inhabitants" and "obviously" one wouldn't "spend one's available income" on "a Central African negro".

Hugh Dalton, offered the Colonial Office during Attlee's 1945-51 Labour government, turned it down because "I had a horrid vision of pullulating, poverty stricken, diseased nigger communities, for whom one can do nothing in the short run and who, the more one tries to help them, are querulous and ungrateful."

Defensible and indefensible usages of the term "racism"

The book, The authoritarian personality, authored by T.W. Adorno et al. in 1950, has been massively popular among psychologists. It claims that a set of ideas that were popular in the "Progressive"-dominated America of the prewar era were "authoritarian". Leftist regimes always are authoritarian so that claim was not a big problem. What was quite amazing however is that Adorno et al. identified such ideas as "conservative". They were in fact simply popular ideas of the day but ones that had been most heavily promoted by the Left right up until the then-recent WWII. See here for details of prewar "Progressive" thinking.

R.I.P. Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet deposed a law-defying Marxist President at the express and desperate invitation of the Chilean parliament. He pioneered the free-market reforms which Reagan and Thatcher later unleashed to world-changing effect. That he used far-Leftist methods to suppress far-Leftist violence is reasonable if not ideal. The Leftist view that they should have a monopoly of violence and that others should follow the law is a total absurdity which shows only that their hate overcomes their reason

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a war criminal. Both British and American codebreakers had cracked the Japanese naval code so FDR knew what was coming at Pearl Harbor. But for his own political reasons he warned no-one there. So responsibility for the civilian and military deaths at Pearl Harbor lies with FDR as well as with the Japanese. The huge firepower available at Pearl Harbor, both aboard ship and on land, could have largely neutered the attack. Can you imagine 8 battleships and various lesser craft firing all their AA batteries as the Japanese came in? The Japanese naval airforce would have been annihilated and the war would have been over before it began.

FDR prolonged the Depression. He certainly didn't cure it.

WWII did NOT end the Great Depression. It just concealed it. It in fact made living standards worse

Joe McCarthy was eventually proved right after the fall of the Soviet Union. To accuse anyone of McCarthyism is to accuse them of accuracy!

The KKK was intimately associated with the Democratic party. They ATTACKED Republicans!

People who mention differences in black vs. white IQ are these days almost universally howled down and subjected to the most extreme abuse. I am a psychometrician, however, so I feel obliged to defend the scientific truth of the matter:

The average African adult has about the same IQ as an average white 11-year-old and African Americans (who are partly white in ancestry) average out at a mental age of 14. The American Psychological Association is generally Left-leaning but it is the world's most prestigious body of academic psychologists. And even they have had to concede that sort of gap (one SD) in black vs. white average IQ. 11-year olds can do a lot of things but they also have their limits and there are times when such limits need to be allowed for.

America's uncivil war was caused by trade protectionism. The slavery issue was just camouflage, as Abraham Lincoln himself admitted. See also here

Did William Zantzinger kill poor Hattie Carroll?

Did Bismarck predict where WWI would start or was it just a "free" translation by Churchill?

Leftist psychologists have an amusingly simplistic conception of military organizations and military men. They seem to base it on occasions they have seen troops marching together on parade rather than any real knowledge of military men and the military life. They think that military men are "rigid" -- automatons who are unable to adjust to new challenges or think for themselves. What is incomprehensible to them is that being kadaver gehorsam (to use the extreme Prussian term for following orders) actually requires great flexibility -- enough flexibility to put your own ideas and wishes aside and do something very difficult. Ask any soldier if all commands are easy to obey.
