Discrimination Land

Discrimination Land

My dearest brothers and sisters,

This is Tunia speaking. I love you so very much.

Today I will tell you a story that is likely going to make you quite uncomfortable. However, there is an important point to this story, as will be revealed later in the message. Or perhaps you will realize the point yourself during the story.

Imagine there is a land called Discrimination Land.

In Discrimination Land, it is socially acceptable to say in public that black people are the source of society’s problems.

In Discrimination Land, even government officials sometimes joke that white people are superior to black people in some way. People don’t get in trouble for making these jokes. In fact, many white people see it as charming when someone jokes that white people are superior to black people in some way. If a black person were to speak out against this, it would be the black person speaking out who would be seen as doing something inappropriate.

Conversely, in Discrimination Land, white people are less accepting of jokes about black people being superior to white people in some way. White people are generally fine with jokes about black people being stupid, but not with jokes about white people being stupid.

In Discrimination Land, some black people are loved and respected, including by white people. However, just an average black person, without anything special going for him, is sometimes treated as suspicious until proven innocent, just because he’s black. It is socially acceptable to say that you crossed the street because you saw a black person walking towards you and you felt unsafe.

Most people subconsciously see black people as inherently not having any value and as only having value if they can do or produce things. Meanwhile, most people subconsciously see white people as inherently having value. Consequently, there are a lot of resources and organizations that are openly saying that they are only helping white people, while there are very few black-only resources and organizations. There is also much more government funding for help-only-white-people organizations than for help-only-black-people organizations.

In Discrimination Land, social clubs for exclusively white people are seen as completely legitimate and understandable. It is seen as obvious that some white people want to be in a space where there are no black people present. Meanwhile, social clubs for exclusively black people are seen as suspicious and potentially problematic. The only legitimate kind of black-people-only club would be one in which black people are explicitly there to better themselves in some way. But just a black-people-only club where black people can hang out with each other and talk and have a drink and perhaps play some chess, oh no no no, a number of white people see that as very bad. Even though white people also think that it is completely acceptable and understandable for a white person to want to be in a space where there are explicitly no black people allowed.

In Discrimination Land, courts and police are theoretically supposed to be fair. However if there is a conflict between a white and a black person, cops and courts are usually strongly biased in favor of the white person. And everyone knows this.

White people also get measurably lighter punishment for the same crime than black people do. This is seen as a good thing, because black people are seen as inherently more violent, and thus as deserving of harsher punishment if they commit a crime. Few people care that even if black people really are more violent in general, that doesn’t mean that it’s fair for an individual black person to receive a harsher punishment for the same crime than an individual white person would.

White people like to talk about equality. However, if there was a referendum on whether practical measures should be implemented to make sure that courts gave equal punishment to white and black offenders, many and perhaps most white people would secretly vote against these measures.

Many white people like that white people get lighter punishment for the same crime. Some white people don’t like this, but also don’t do anything, even though if the moderate white people took a bit of action then this unfairness would be resolved quite quickly.

That’s a pattern in general: you have the white people who openly say that it is good that they have privilege over black people in certain areas, such as being preferentially hired. These white people will often actively work to defend or even extend their privilege, and they will actively work to hurt black activists. And then you have the moderate white people, who acknowledge that it is unfair, but they don’t take any action to change things and they also don’t support initiatives by black activists. And so, the discrimination continues.

White people may be willing to help an individual black person if that individual is particularly well-liked or seen as valuable. However, if black people as a group have a problem, then white people generally only give lip service to the idea of helping black people. Meanwhile, white people feel that black people should tangibly and practically help white people.

Even if the problem that black people face is clear systemic discrimination against them, white people will generally only give lip service to the idea of helping them. However, if white people feel that they are being disadvantaged in any small way whatsoever, then white people will mobilize and take action and ask for tangible help from black people.

In Discrimination Land, many businesses will prioritize hiring white people over black people, either as official policy or secretly. Again, some white people openly like this, and some white people don’t like it but they also don’t lift a finger to change the situation.

Similarly, there are also quite a few scholarships for exclusively white people, even though white people are already more likely to attend university.

It is not socially acceptable to be a black people’s rights activist. Even the more moderate white people often oppose black people’s rights activists.

In Discrimination Land, far more black people kill themselves than white people. But no one really cares. Usually, people just say that it’s up to black people to change this.

In Discrimination Land, black people do the vast majority of the hard, tough, dangerous, dirty work that is needed to keep society running. Far more black people die at work than white people. White people do safer and relatively more comfortable work, with fewer and more convenient hours. These kinds of comfortable office jobs often discriminate against black people during the hiring process.

Are white people grateful that black people do the hard, uncomfortable, demanding jobs that are needed to keep society running? Usually not. It’s more common that white people work fewer hours and do more convenient and comfortable work, and then complain that black people earn more money. Even though white people make as much as black people if they work the same hours at the same job.

Any perceived unfairness against white people is complained about bitterly by some white people, even if that unfairness doesn’t actually exist.

In Discrimination Land, if a ship is sinking and there are too few spots on the rescue boat, people think that black people should willingly give up their spots to white people and accept their death. A number of white people also think that if war breaks out, that the government should draft black people but not white people to go fight. Meanwhile, people talk about black privilege.

In Discrimination Land, more research money is spent on a kind of cancer that primarily affects white people, and far less research money is spent on a kind of cancer that only affects black people. Despite this, many white people insist that they are victims and that society is rigged to benefit black people.

Sometimes the term toxic blackness is used. It is not socially acceptable to talk about toxic whiteness.

If black people complain, both black and white people often tell them to “black up”, which means: shut up, don’t complain, don’t show your pain and go do some productive work.

The supposed equality movement for white and black people is called White-ism, and it contains some white people who absolutely hate black people. The more moderate white people in the White-ism movement make no real effort to tell the people in their movement to stop openly saying that they hate black people. They are more concerned with trying to get black people to behave in a way that benefits white people.

Despite the claims that White-ism is a true equality movement that is good for white and black people, White-ism almost never takes tangible action to address clear cases where black people face systemic discrimination.

So, that is what Discrimination Land is like.

It sounds like a horrible dystopia, right?

Well, you may very well be living in Discrimination Land. If you replace “black person” with “man”, and “white person” with “woman,” then the above dystopia is the West as it is, today.

So yes, the entire story was one big metaphor about the West in 2024, with black people standing in for men and white people standing in for women.

People are used to thinking of men as evil privileged oppressors, and think of black people as victims who should be helped. Therefore people are often emotionally fine with men being treated badly, but not with black people being treated badly. That is why his message is so uncomfortable.

However, in the West in 2024, I really don’t think that it is useful to treat men as evil privileged oppressors.

Are there individual men who genuinely are evil privileged oppressors? Yes, there are. But that doesn’t justify treating men as a group in that way. In the West in 2024, average men really don’t have more privilege on the whole than average women do.

Rich men also aren’t rigging society to benefit men — see for example more money being spent on breast cancer research than on prostate cancer research, or there being more women’s university scholarships than men’s university scholarships even though already more women attend university.

I’m not saying that black people and women don’t face discrimination. And yes, there are differences in context between men, black people, women and white people.

Still, if some treatment of black people in this message made you really uncomfortable, then I invite you to consider if it is okay to treat men that way. Because I really don’t think it is helpful to treat people more harshly — in this case men — just because they were born into a certain group.

With respect to some parts of my message, people might want to argue: “it is understandable to treat men more harshly, because men statistically commit more crimes.” Well, poor illiterate immigrants who come from a completely different culture statistically commit more crimes too than native-born citizens, so should we also treat these immigrants more harshly than native-born citizens? See, immediately it becomes uncomfortable again (at least to some people).

Personally, I’m in favor of saying that if anyone commits a crime — be they a man, an immigrant, a Muslim, a Jew, or whoever — then hold that individual accountable. But don’t treat the entire group harshly just because that group as a whole is allegedly more likely to do bad things. Hence, don’t give an individual man a harsher sentence for the same crime than a woman, just because men as a group are seen as more violent than women.

Now yes, despite all this, I completely acknowledge that society is harsh and unfair and awful towards women. And I am sorry, my beautiful sisters, you indeed deserve to be treated so much better than you are. However, average men aren’t treated any better by society than you are. Saying that the problem is the patriarchy is in practice often just a roundabout way of engaging in White-ism, to use my earlier metaphor for feminism.

The solution for women isn’t fighting men, or trying to out-compete men or trying to demasculinize men.

The solution for women is to come together with men and to actually work together for the common good — and that includes doing more than giving lip service to the idea of changing areas where women are unfairly privileged over men.

From my perspective, it’s a bit shocking that some women have great ideals and are very warm towards men they like, but are cold and callous and uncaring towards average men, and wouldn’t even vote to end pro-female discrimination if someone created a referendum for that. Obviously this isn’t true for all women, but it is true for a substantial number of women.

Think back to Discrimination Land earlier. Do you think that there can be a white person who has reached the highest levels of spiritual attainment, who never spends a little effort to help a black person and who never speaks out against the unfairness that benefits her group and hurts black people? I don’t think so. I think in this case, such a white person is either still dealing with her own trauma (fair enough), or she is in separation consciousness. Because if she genuinely was in unity consciousness and indeed saw black people — men — as being part of herself, then she would at least occasionally spend a little effort to help a man or speak out on their behalf.

Or alternatively, you can adopt the traditional feminine mindset, where your role as a woman is to be modest and respectful towards all non-criminal men, and to obey and support and love and cherish and provide housekeeping and sex to your husband, and to give your husband authority over your family and over society. As a traditional woman, don’t divorce your husband just because you’re not happy and then take half his stuff. If you fulfill the traditional feminine role, then it’s not inconsistent to have the attitude that men should fix their own problems, and fix the problems of society besides.

It’s fine to expect men to fix society and fulfill the traditional male role — if you fulfill the traditional female role. Because if you expect men to be the ones to take responsibility to fix society, then you must give them authority over society. It doesn’t make sense to expect someone to take responsibility without giving them authority.

The other option is to adopt the modern position that men and women should be equal and have equal roles. Well, in this case — you want men to help women out and you want men to address things that are structurally unfair towards women, right? Well, if you want equality, that means that women should also actively help men out and actively work to fix structural unfairness towards men.

It doesn’t really work to say “oh yeah, I agree, but some other woman should do that” or “it’s not my responsibility to help men” because almost all women are saying that. If courts or hiring practices blatantly discriminated against women, then women also wouldn’t accept it if nearly all men said “oh yeah, I agree, but some other man should fix that” or “it’s not my responsibility to help women.”

If women killed themselves three to four times as much as men, or if 92% of workplace deaths occur to women, then women would expect men to immediately help them, right? And indeed, men would immediately take action in that situation. Well, in reality, men kill themselves three to four times as much as women do, and 92% of workplace deaths happen to men. So, it would be good if women could start helping men — I know life isn’t all sunshine and roses for women either, but women don’t face the level of systemic discrimination that men do.

Even the more moderate and reasonable women usually don’t support male men’s rights activists, even the ones who make very reasonable requests. Hence, men can’t change this by themselves. Moreover, it’s not a very enlightened perspective to be in a group with unfair privilege and to say that it’s up to the discriminated-against people to change that.

I’m not saying that every woman must dedicate her life to men’s rights. I’m just suggesting that women occasionally speak up against the unfairness, or occasionally spend a little effort to help average individual men.

Men have been a lot better in the last hundred years with listening to women and agreeing to reasonable requests, than women have been about listening to average men and agreeing to reasonable requests. Maybe that was appropriate in the past, back when women genuinely didn’t have certain rights. But it’s not appropriate anymore, because average men really aren’t unfairly privileged anymore. The number of men in certain highly paid positions is just a result of more men choosing to study certain subjects and more men choosing to work 60+ hours per week.

If you would protest against companies preferentially hiring white people, but wouldn’t protest against preferential hiring of women, then you might have some victim mentality or anti-man resentment to work through.

If women demanded an end to female-only hiring quotas for example, it would go away immediately. And the day that women actually take some real-world action to help average men, might very well be the day that your society starts healing. Until that happens, your society might very well keep declining.

Average men are the workhorse of society. So long as the workhorse keeps being neglected and beaten and told to fix its own problems, I think your society will just keep getting worse (so long as there is no big intervention). If everyone sees it as not their responsibility to help the workhorse, then everyone suffers, because you all need the workhorse to work, and the workhorse is currently sick and can’t do it alone and needs love and care.

Let’s say that the supply of money in a society remains stable, however the workhorse of society is severely ill and as a result fewer goods are produced. Well, now the same amount of money is chasing fewer goods, and hence prices go up. And hence there is inflation. So yes, reckless amounts of new money are being created, but part of the inflation also comes from the workhorse of society — average men — struggling so much, and no one helping the horse.

The good news is that even relatively small actions can make a big difference. I understand that not everyone has the energy to organize an anti-male-discrimination demonstration. But even just being kind to an average man (and not only being kind towards the exceptional men), or giving men a compliment, or listening to them can make their month.

This channeler still remembers that a random woman gave him a glass of water a decade ago when he was outside working during a hot day. Seemingly average men are very unused to receiving kind gestures from random women. Men are also so unused to being appreciated that they often remember compliments for years, or for the rest of their lives. So, you can help a man a lot with not much effort.

Even just a little appreciation and kindness goes a long way.

I wish you a very good week.

With love,

Your star sister,

Tunia

About Victimhood

About Victimhood

Hakann trough A. S.

Posted on August 26, 2023



My dearest brothers and sisters,

This is Hakann speaking. I greet you in peace and love.

Today I would like to talk to you about victimhood. This topic is very relevant today.

One hotly debated topic of victimhood is: are black people victims of slavery and discrimination, and should we strive for equality of outcomes via black-people quotas?

Of course Earth humans are free to form their own opinions and make their own choices, but from my personal perspective: yes the average black person is a victim in some ways, because he or she still experiences negative effects from the legacy of slavery and past and present-day discrimination. This is true.

However, victims should still take responsibility for their own lives. It’s also not a good idea to create a self-identity out of victimhood.

Yes, I understand that some people may want to receive love or sympathy or help. However creating a self-identity out of victimhood isn’t the way to achieve that.

Also, just because some black people are victims, doesn’t mean that it’s good to victimize other people to address that, for example through black-people quotas (which is discrimination against white people). Victimizing one group to help another victimized group doesn’t reduce the amount of unfairness in the world, it increases it.

Just because some trees are hurting, doesn’t mean that it’s good to sacrifice the meritocracy-ecosystem of the entire forest in order to help those trees.

White people may also become more racist if they have a harder time finding a job because of black-people quotas. Which is understandable — being a poor white person is a hard enough life even without being discriminated against due to the color of your skin, through black people quotas. The solution to this issue is not having black people quotas.

Furthermore, if you were in a hospital and you knew the hospital had black-people quotas for surgeons, would you want a white or a black surgeon to operate on you?

I think in that specific case, many people would want a white surgeon to operate on them, because they knew he got there on merit. Meanwhile the black surgeon might have gotten in because of the color of his skin. And people want their surgery to go well. (Obviously without quotas, the black surgeon is just as good as the white surgeon.)

So yes, blacks are victims in some sense. No, that doesn’t mean that black-people quotas are a good idea.

The identity politics people often engage in the fallacy that if outcomes aren’t equal, then that proves there must be discrimination. Well, they don’t apply this principle consistently, because if they did, then they would have to conclude that universities discriminate against men, because more women attend university. To be logically consistent, the identity politics people would have to demand male-only quotas for university. The counterargument “but men are privileged” doesn’t work here, because average men really aren’t privileged over women in the West in 2023. Tunia has argued that in detail in previous messages.

The fact that the identity politics people don’t advocate for male quotas suggests that they’re engaging in a “help the female / minority ingroup, attack the male / white outgroup” type of tribal politics. This isn’t enlightened, or even progressive for that matter. This “help the ingroup, hurt the outgroup” agenda is the same type of thinking that happened in caveman times. The only thing that’s different is that the ingroup is now women and minorities, and the outgroup is now men and white people. But that’s still tribalism. It’s just rainbow-colored tribalism.

If you are interested in why black people on average are having worse outcomes than white people, well, certainly the legacy of slavery and unfair government policies and discrimination play a part. However, another big piece of the puzzle was explained very well by Dr. Thomas Sowell, who is a black man himself. Dr. Sowell has published an excellent two hour long youtube video titled “The Origin of Black American Culture and Ebonics.”

The best thing to do in my opinion is to acknowledge that there was slavery and systemic injustice against blacks in the past and there are still individuals who discriminate against black people in the present. However I think Earth society should move forward with a policy of non-discrimination in the present (which also means not having hiring quotas for certain groups). And individual people should take responsibility for their own lives, even if they were victimized in some ways.

Also, when you read a news or political article, be careful that you may be getting manipulated if the article uses language to tell you what to think before it tells you what’s actually going on. For example, if the article uses language to indicate that this person victimized that poor black person, before the article even tells you what actually happened, then the article may be trying to manipulate you. Or as another example, the identity politics people often say J.K. Rowling is transphobic, but they usually don’t ever actually share the statements that Rowling made that allegedly were transphobic. Similarly, the right wing sometimes calls a person a communist or woke before even saying what that person did or said that was allegedly so bad. Be careful if before it’s even shared what happened or what the person said, the person is labeled as a communist, woke, transphobe, extreme right, alt right, nazi, fascist, conspiracy theorist, misinformation spreader, etc. If someone tells you what to think, or applies a label, before they tell you what happened or what was said, then that’s an attempt to get you to see the actual information through a particular lens. If labels must be applied, it’s better to share the facts first and do the editorializing second.

Okay, so we’ve covered one case of victimhood.

Let’s consider another case of victimhood: are lightworkers victims? After all, some lightworkers would argue or deep down believe that lightworkers or the awake or victims, due to the slowness with which the sleepers to wake up, or due to the failure of the gray hats or galactics to take more direct action, or due to the censoring of the awake by big tech. After all, it’s unfair that lightworkers and the awake have done their own inner work or research work, but they’re not being rewarded for that in any kind of tangible way.

Yes, lightworkers and the awake are victims, in a sense.

Some gray hats would argue that the people aren’t victims, in fact it’s the fault of the people that they haven’t engaged in more peaceful demonstrations or local politics. However, the sleepers obviously aren’t demonstrating because they’re sleepers. And the awake are in a sense getting trained into a learned helplessness worldview, because they know there’s injustice, but they’re also getting censored and mocked and not listened to, and the police and military who should take action aren’t doing nearly enough. So what do you expect the awake to do?

Still, even though lightworkers and the awake are victims, they’re still responsible for their own actions.

Just because someone is a victim doesn’t mean that they should just sit on the couch and wait for other people to do things. That’s not productive.

Most people are victims in some sense (not everyone is necessarily a victim to the same degree). If everyone waited on everyone else to change, then nothing would happen.

Yes, the situation that the lightworkers are in is in fact not fair to them. And yet, the best thing to do is to just keep moving forward.

I would also like you to consider the following perspective. You can think of this as alternate glasses that you can put on — this other perspective doesn’t invalidate the fact that this current situation is unfair to you. Just because I’m giving you a new pair of glasses, doesn’t mean that you won’t still have your old pair of glasses. And that old pair of glasses is still useful.

This other perspective is that soul growth or soul expansion is just about the most valuable thing in the universe. This current life is important, but is also just one journey of your soul, and you’ll retain the soul growth that you’ll be achieving here on Earth. And lightworkers are attaining a great deal of soul growth right now indeed.

When we galactics have landed, and also after this life, you will have more opportunities than the current sleepers do, because of the soul growth you’re achieving right now.

There are still many possible futures, many possible scenarios. No one knows exactly what future is going to unfold, because of the free will of Earth humans involved. In some scenarios, most of the current sleepers either transition (die), or they will keep living the rest of their lives in a harsh 3d reality while the awake people experience will go on with their lives in a pleasant love-based society.

Still, it’s also possible that the sleepers and the awake keep living in one society and that some of the sleepers die or keep living in denial, but most of the sleepers wake up. It’s possible that the following will happen. From the perspective of the sleepers, one day out of the blue they will experience something completely crazy and unexpected — whether that’s a mass landing of friendly ETs; or a mass arrest of leaders and a takeover of the media by the gray hats; or a solar flash event.

Then after a while, the current sleepers will experience a life that’s more pleasant and beautiful than they can imagine. Abundance and amazing new technologies will be released. After a while, they won’t have to work that much anymore. They’ll have access to physical and psychological healing. They may be able to visit beautiful other planets and interact with and possibly date extraterrestrials. They will have access to true and mind-blowing information.

They’ll have more freedom and health and abundance than they ever dreamed of. Do they wish to have a spa day? Do they wish to visit a mind blowingly beautiful other planet? Do they wish to study the history of the universe? Do they wish to discuss philosophy with Venusians, or learn spirituality from Arcturians, or learn psychic abilities from Sirians, or make music together with Andromedans? Do they wish to have an orgy with Tunia-like women, or men like myself? Do they wish to ask a galactic matchmaker for help to find their true love? Do they wish to finally see my famous dance moves?

It’s possible that the current sleepers will experience let’s say a century where every day is like this — because their life spans will quite possibly be extended too. And the current sleepers will love it.

And then, something will begin to gnaw at them.

It will be slow and easy to ignore at first. They’ll just push that unpleasant realization away. They’ll go on another holiday, or they’ll go study some topic, or they’ll go have more sex or eat more delicious food.

But it will keep gnawing. And gnawing. And gnawing.

Eventually they will face the realization that while this current life is heavenly, their soul feels that it hasn’t learned the 3d lessons yet.

And this former sleeper will say goodbye to their loved ones and voluntarily leave their body and leave this heavenly blissful existence. After a while, they will then begin another life in another harsh, painful 3d world.

Nobody will force this on them. They will choose this themselves.

Why? It’s because people’s souls are part of them, and the soul craves soul growth, and the soul understands that it needs to learn its 3d lessons first. Just blissing out in 5d feels hollow and sort of unearned to the soul if the 3d lessons haven’t been learned yet.

Meanwhile, you current lightworkers will quite possibly either have the option to keep living your 5d life for several centuries. Or if you do choose to leave your body, your soul probably won’t feel a need to have another 3d life, because it has already learned its 3d lessons during this current life.

So: yes, this current situation is unfair to you. However, you are attaining great soul growth right now, which will pay off hugely in the future. And many of you are being offered your final 3d lessons right now. So: do what you have to do. Say what you have to say. If things aren’t working out in your life or if you are dealing with trauma or pain, then heal or learn the lessons you still need to learn. Observe your emotions. Feel your feelings. Have that uncomfortable conversation. Try to treat other people as well as you can. If your heart wants to do something and it’s feasible, then go do it. And hang on — I know that some of you really can’t do more than just survive right now, and even just surviving is enough. Even just surviving by itself is giving you soul growth. And better times are coming.

When the time comes, you will be ready to step fully into 5d, without later feeling the need to go back to 3d. Because you will have learned your 3d lessons.

And when the time comes, I would love to offer my hand and help you step into 5d.

Your star brother,

Hakann
