Sir Owen Glenn: A Demonstration of Entitlement: It’s Getting Vicious Out There.

Quoting my last post, ‘…There is nothing more evil than state created dependency, and my next post will show how quickly, and how viciously, such dependency turns into entitlement.’

With the final paragraph of my above blug by-line in mind, below is a demonstration of how the slouching ethic of state coerced welfarism leads so totally to an entitlement mentality that bites off the hand of the benefactor. (And which is, therefore, bloody discourteous.)

Philanthropist Sir Owen Glenn is spending $80 million on projects aimed at ending family violence and child abuse in New Zealand. This post is not concerned with the prudence of such an endeavour, or whether throwing money at men who beat up their wives and children is going to solve any damned thing; I am concerned in this instance with Glenn’s inarguable generosity, and so the startling reaction of a young man in the below TV 3 clip to Glenn’s current hiccup over getting the promised funds out of his family trust – (noting the big lesson here to those readers with family trusts, but that’s not my topic either).

The clip can be seen here: listen to the young man speaking from 31 seconds into the clip, although I find the opening wording of the piece by the newscaster ill-advised as well.

Here’s the transcription of the relevant portion, which I’m translating from the man’s Pidgin English:

“I just don’t know what to say, it’s not fair, aaee, Owen Glenn give us the money, let’s use it; living in Otara, it’s hard.”

Note the nonsense use of ‘fair’ again, he’s obviously heard at least one political speech - the lad is frighteningly some sort of youth organiser, after all - but ‘Owen Glenn give us the money’ is entitlement speaking. That demand needs to be corrected: ‘Owen Glenn give us your money’. What doesn’t entitlement-man-youth-organiser understand about this being Glenn’s money, and that Glenn has some ‘technical’ problems that are beyond his control before he can continue giving it to ‘Otara’?

Everything that led this surly, foolish, and the most damning adjective of them all, non-thinking, young man to say this about a well-intentional benefactor, with his automatic assumption of Glenn’s property to be his own, and his ridiculous righteous anger at it not being handed over fast enough, explains, in a resonant way that exists below his destruction of English, the birth of abuse and the harm that new collective noun, the Arrogance of Altruists, have spurned on the once free West. Already it's not your money, Sir Owen, it's his. No, it’s Otara’s. Already you aren't his compassionate benefactor, you are, apparently, a greedy bastard denying him/Otara what belongs to them as of right. It’s the ethic of generation-text, and throughout this piece, wherever I’ve written benefactor, I could have substituted taxpayer.

This is the anti-mind produced by the welfare state, and there is no hope for the society that has destroyed a mind to this extent. For, as I’ve been intimating up to this point, it’s worse.

It’s not just what this young man is saying; it’s how he’s saying it. How do we have young people leaving a school system sounding like this: his manner of expressing himself says ‘don’t employ me, there’s nothing happening up top’. And it’s widespread.  I see clips on the news weekly of this murder and that maiming, and the inevitable witness interview is too often given in this Pidgin English, frequently much worse than this example, and I can barely understand what the witness is saying, despite their first language is probably English. It’s the null mind, and it’s come from our state education system, though not so much the fault of the education system itself, but the welfare breeding program that feeds the hopeless, unwilling participants into it.

State education, I’m still trying to get to that post, and that statist founding document of New Zealand, the New Zealand School Curriculum, but returning to the murders and maimings - noting the inevitable connection to family violence and child abuse - I’ve already lost count at only the 12^th of February, 2013, how many murders and maimings there have been so far this year. Snap question, you answer it: how many? Let me hypothesise, loosely, that contributing to that is this man’s entitlement mentality, and the uneducated, null-minded blunt way he has over demanding Glenn hand over the dosh.

My advice to Sir Owen Glenn - save your $80 million; in the space of one and a half A4 pages, I may well have half figured out already the wellspring of abuse. To the young man in the clip, you don't need $80 million to stop abuse, just once you partner up, don't whack the kids or the spouse. ‘Think about shit, before you do shit – that would be gr8.’ And if you don't think you can trust yourself, don't have children; it's not mandatory. Solving family violence is actually that easy, only the solution is the deconstruction of the welfare state, and the change of enough individual minds to allow that to be voted on, so outside the nation-wide bankruptcy profligate politicians have brought on Europe and the US thus far, it probably won’t happen in New Zealand in my lifetime, because tens of thousands of individuals following their rational self-interest wisely decided a major part of this country’s economy would be based on feeding the world by capitalism, more efficiently than any other country can thanks to deregulation of agriculture through the late 80’s and early 90’s,  and it’s serving us well through hard times, with the welfare state not quite syphoning enough off, yet, to close New Zealand Inc  down.

Yet. Yet. Yet. All bets are off from the election in 2014, when statists ramp up the lolly scramble again from the playground of my wallet and bank accounts.

Footnote:

Or am I wrong?

How representative is this young man? Or are the MSM reporters going out just looking for ‘him’ and thus giving the viewing/reading public a distorted view of the reality that is out there?
