VIDEO - R. J. Shaw: "500 years of Liberalism...promote[d] the idea of selfishness...[saying] you can['t] actually justly judge other people's actions...[when] you ['re] engaging the virtue of justice...no longer empathiz[ing]...with villains"



Watch "Have NO Sympathy For Them" on YouTube

Transcription: Because such people usually express themselves in the following way. They'll say, "This is who I am. I can't change that. I am who I am." And by the way,
22 minutes, 29 seconds
this feeds directly into the rainbow flag coalition which started with good as you. You want to spell out that
22 minutes, 38 seconds
acronym which excused actions which civilization after civilization throughout history has seen as wrong.
22 minutes, 46 seconds
But they excuse it by saying this is who I am and I like who I am and I don't want to change. And they excuse it by saying I am something wrong and I'm okay
22 minutes, 54 seconds
with that. I'm okay with the fact that I am something wrong because it can't be changed. If I agree that I am something wrong, that means that's who I am and
23 minutes, 3 seconds
it's never going to change. That means that gives me an out for saying I never have to change. I never have to put in the work. Why should I care about other
23 minutes, 10 seconds
people? Why should I alter my schedule, the way that I do things, to think about other people, to care about other people, to have compassion? Why should I
23 minutes, 18 seconds
do that? I am who I am. I'm never going to change who I am. Who I am is something wrong. There's something wrong with me. I understand that. Don't care.
23 minutes, 26 seconds
You see, you as a person with sympathy or empathy are looking at that kind of internal mindset saying, "Oh, what a poor person. I should correct them." But
23 minutes, 35 seconds
you need to understand all but a tiny percentage of those people, those being, I would say, the very very young,
23 minutes, 44 seconds
they've already been corrected. They've already been given instructions that no, this isn't the way it is. And they've ignored that. Purposefully ignored it
23 minutes, 52 seconds
because purposefully ignoring it. And clinging to the fact that they are something wrong allows them to be even more selfish. To say, "Ah, it's who I am. I'm good as me. You're good as you.
24 minutes, 3 seconds
You're doing something wrong. Oh well, it's who I am. It's who you are. Don't care. Don't care about other people. It's the way it is. Leave it as it is.
24 minutes, 11 seconds
Not going to change. You see, it's not something in their minds that breaks them down. It's something in their minds that builds them up, that allows them to
24 minutes, 20 seconds
be wrong, allows them to be in some cases committers of evil and not to care. The thing therefore that shuts
24 minutes, 28 seconds
down their conscience, that prick of conscience, and say, ignore it. And once again, if that is their mindset, do not
24 minutes, 37 seconds
have sympathy or empathy for them because your sympathy and your empathy, your feeling with them or feeling for
24 minutes, 45 seconds
them does not match in any way the feelings that they have internally. Or to put it in the normal terms I speak
24 minutes, 53 seconds
about, these people are using that idea to cling to their vice. Why should I put in the effort and work to be a hero, to
25 minutes, 2 seconds
be heroic, to be virtuous? Why? I'm good as I am. I'm good being a villain. It's who I am. I can't change it. Now, here's
25 minutes, 9 seconds
the thing. Why do I say you should no longer have as your default sympathy or empathy for other people? Well, I would
25 minutes, 16 seconds
say because at the barest minimum, 50% of the people within Western civilization right now are of the second
25 minutes, 25 seconds
kind. These selfish, disagreeable people. Well, honestly, I would say maybe about 50%, maybe at best 50% in
25 minutes, 33 seconds
the US. In Canada, Australia, the rest of Europe, oh, you're 75% in the opposite direction. Most of these people are disagreeable, self-centered,
25 minutes, 42 seconds
prideful people. And I'm saying again, at best. Now, how can I make that claim?
25 minutes, 46 seconds
Well, simple. Look at politics. Look at the politics of people. What is the politics of the left? Politics of the left is self-centeredness. Blatant
25 minutes, 55 seconds
self-centeredness. blatant. I'm gonna take away from you what justly belongs to you because it builds up me. I don't care about you. It's just the way it is.
26 minutes, 5 seconds
Or I'm gonna concentrate on my vices.
26 minutes, 8 seconds
We're not talking about the far left anymore. I just talked about more of the far left. But let's look at the center left. Those are people who are saying,
26 minutes, 15 seconds
"Yeah, I just want my vices. They feed me. I don't care if they destroy civilization. I don't care if they hurt my neighbor, my community. Don't care."
26 minutes, 23 seconds
That self-centeredness is the self-centerness of the second person I have described. And again, I say minimum
26 minutes, 30 seconds
50% because as I have said in previous videos, I don't think this is exclusively
26 minutes, 37 seconds
a mindset of the left. I think as I have said previously that most the majority of conservatives are just slowmoving
26 minutes, 45 seconds
liberals. They have this mindset as well. It is the mindset that doesn't put truth at the center of their existence.
26 minutes, 51 seconds
It puts themselves at the center of their existence. Usually, it's described as the individual, but it just trickles down to me. I'm the center of existence.
27 minutes
Again, that's prideful. That's low agreeableness. That's not caring about other people. Now, that being said, I
27 minutes, 7 seconds
would say at best 50% are of this disagreeable sort. And it would probably go up to like 75% if I was honest. So
27 minutes, 16 seconds
the point being when you normally encounter someone who is in pain should you have sympathy or empathy for them? I say no. Why? Because your sympathy and
27 minutes, 25 seconds
empathy if it comes from a good selfless place does not match the feelings on the other side for the other person. Now the
27 minutes, 33 seconds
question becomes what should you do when you meet someone in pain? Again we're not talking physical pain. that's
27 minutes, 40 seconds
objective with objective qualities and objective reasons that you can look at.
27 minutes, 45 seconds
We're looking at something more internal. Well, personally, I would say let's borrow something from the left here, which rarely I ever do, but borrow it from the left. The idea of the tabloa. I don't believe in the tabloa.
27 minutes, 56 seconds
Again, once again, I believe you have the law of God written on your hearts. I believe you have a conscience. As a human being, you have these things. But let's say you encounter someone in pain
28 minutes, 5 seconds
and they're not someone you know very well. I would say blank slate. Blank slate as in to say don't make a determination one way or the other.
28 minutes, 14 seconds
Don't automatically have sympathy for them. Don't automatically have empathy for them. That would be foolish in this day and age in this low trust society.
28 minutes, 23 seconds
But on balance, I would say don't ignore that either. Well, what would you do then? You would do the thing that no one
28 minutes, 31 seconds
wants you to do. It is in many people's minds the most wicked thing you could do. And it was something that was
28 minutes, 38 seconds
forbidden even in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s. What is it? You judge the people. You look at their actions and
28 minutes, 45 seconds
you judge them. You say, "You're in pain." Okay, I'm not going to fall one side of the knife or the other right away. I'm going to look at the
28 minutes, 53 seconds
situation. I'm going to look at your actions. I'm going to see, are you an agreeable person? I'm going to see, are you a conscientious person? Do you care
29 minutes
that these actions harm others or may harm others? Do you look at your own actions? Do you reconsider what you have
29 minutes, 8 seconds
done? Do you feel the prick of conscience? Do you see that this is not something good? That you are turning your back on the right, the good, the
29 minutes, 17 seconds
just by doing this and then turn around because of the pain. Look at those factors. It's not very hard. The cues are there written all over their face, written certainly in their actions.
29 minutes, 28 seconds
Judge their actions. Not saying judge their soul. I'm saying judge their actions. which is something why in God's
29 minutes, 36 seconds
name I don't know our civilization has gotten away from mostly because I guess of the 500 years of liberalism trying to
29 minutes, 43 seconds
promote the idea of selfishness downplaying the fact that you can actually justly judge other people's actions. And guess what? That's you
29 minutes, 52 seconds
being virtuous. That's you engaging the virtue of justice. Are you rendering to others what is their due? Are you rendering to others the dignity that is
30 minutes, 1 second
theirs? or are you ignoring that for your own selfish, prideful, disagreeable ends? Because if you are, well, there's
30 minutes, 10 seconds
even really, I would say, a hint that you are, and I throw in a couple of things that might be a push back to say,
30 minutes, 17 seconds
"Hey, let's not just jump to feelings all of a sudden. Let's jump to maybe we should help you rectify this situation."
30 minutes, 24 seconds
That's another really big clue if you give them even the slightest push back to say, "Well, I'll help you. If you're in pain, let's deal with this
30 minutes, 33 seconds
situation." And they utterly reject dealing with the situation of rectifying the situation. Then guess which kind of person they are? They're the self-centered kind, the prideful.
30 minutes, 43 seconds
Because why? Because again, the truth is not at the center of their being. Their own self and selfc centeredness is at
30 minutes, 51 seconds
the center of their being. But again, that would just be my take on how to deal with people today to not automatically
30 minutes, 59 seconds
assume the best and then give them sympathy or empathy. But when you look around you and you certainly see the people, especially the farther and
31 minutes, 8 seconds
farther left you go, doing these selfish, self-centered, prideful, harmful, evil actions and then they call
31 minutes, 17 seconds
for sympathy or empathy. No, don't give it to them because that's what the arguments are all over the place right
31 minutes, 24 seconds
now. You look at that guy in the UK, the professor for Harvard, what's his name?
31 minutes, 28 seconds
Are they that got caught in multiple egregious lies at the very minimum and then brought himself to a untimely end?
31 minutes, 38 seconds
Or the woman in Boston who put an end to her three little children and the left is doing what? They're asking for sympathy and empathy. or that kid that
31 minutes, 47 seconds
stabbed the other kid down south in the heart at Attractme calling for sympathy, calling for empathy. No, absolutely not.
31 minutes, 55 seconds
Because even on the news, what they're doing is they're presenting a quote unquote argument, which is a nonsequittor. They're giving you some
32 minutes, 4 seconds
facts on one side and some facts on another side. Neither of which actually connect to each other logically or
32 minutes, 11 seconds
rationally in any way and expecting you as a good person to fill in the blanks
32 minutes, 18 seconds
and connect those two sides through your sympathy and empathy. That's what they're doing. That's what they're pressuring you to do. to complete their
32 minutes, 27 seconds
argument for them with your sympathy, with your empathy, to see their side, and therefore to align yourself with
32 minutes, 35 seconds
evil actions. I'm sorry for the professor in the UK, but he did it to himself. I am not sorry for that lady in Boston. She did this to her children.
32 minutes, 44 seconds
I'm not sorry for that kid down south.
32 minutes, 46 seconds
He stabbed somebody in the heart. I had no sympathy, no empathy for him. But further to all this, why are they pushing this now? Well, partly because
32 minutes, 54 seconds
they're on the back foot, but they're pushing all of this now because our civilization has been trained to think this way.
33 minutes, 3 seconds
Through what? Through story. Over the last 10 years, looking not exclusively at Marvel, but to a great extent at
33 minutes, 11 seconds
Marvel and a lot of other forms of storytelling, Writer Guild of America, other forms of entertainment, tabletop games, video games, movies, novels. I
33 minutes, 20 seconds
heard the same thing over and over and over and over again. It was expressed, I suppose, keenly, by the woman who was in
33 minutes, 28 seconds
charge of character development and story development at Marvel. She was the VP in charge of those elements. What did
33 minutes, 36 seconds
she say? She said, and her words were, "We have the kicking of the butts down, but it's now about whether you can be a good friend, whether you can have
33 minutes, 45 seconds
empathy." That was their focal point. or writer after writer talking about how they like to write villains and make
33 minutes, 52 seconds
them empathetic. Then again, how many of you went to go see Endgame? How many of you noticed that Thanos was made out to
34 minutes, 1 second
be an empathetic villain? Or Gan Gray in the current Spider-Man movie? You know, she's doing things which they've
34 minutes, 8 seconds
acknowledged in the movie would cause harm and pain, psychological scarring, and a violation to the people that she
34 minutes, 15 seconds
takes over. And yet, well, she's doing it for her sister, so have some empathy, will you? She's not really the villain.
34 minutes, 21 seconds
Doesn't matter if she imposes all this on other people. She feels bad because of what happened to her sister. Empathy will tell you she's not actually the villain. No, no, no. She's the villain.
34 minutes, 32 seconds
It's this morally gray character, this empathetic villain. You see, that's the point of why they push it into story, why they've been pushing it into stories
34 minutes, 40 seconds
for decade after decade now. It's to get you used to that idea of engaging your empathy for villain because story human
34 minutes, 49 seconds
mind which shuts down your critical thinking. You engage with a story in a way where your critical thinking is
34 minutes, 57 seconds
automatically shut down when you engage your suspension of disbelief. Again, that judging that I talked about, which
35 minutes, 4 seconds
you should do with the people you meet, that's shut off when you're enjoying a story. It's shut off and they know it's
35 minutes, 11 seconds
shut off. And therefore, they push this idea of an empathetic villain to get you used to having empathy for people who do
35 minutes, 20 seconds
evil. And once you get used to it in story after story, piece of entertainment after piece of entertainment, no matter where it comes
35 minutes, 28 seconds
from, movies, comics, novels, video games, tabletop games, everything around
35 minutes, 35 seconds
you, you get used to doing that so much that you then carry it into your real life. And when you see the same thing on
35 minutes, 43 seconds
the news, you have empathy for these villains. But I say no more. Wake up. Do
35 minutes, 50 seconds
not allow this sophistry to cloud your mind anymore to fill in the blanks of this nonsequator argument to allow you
35 minutes, 59 seconds
to see, oh, this is a good murderer, and I'm sorry, but you look at these people on the street in Boston talking about
36 minutes, 7 seconds
this woman who did away with her three little children, saying, "Well, just because she did that doesn't mean she wasn't a good mother." And I'm thinking
36 minutes, 14 seconds
to myself, "You're crazy, lady. You are insane." But here's the thing. She's just the extreme part of that. You and I
36 minutes, 24 seconds
and all the rest of the people around us have been trained to think in the same way. We just don't take it to that much extreme. Time to extract it from your
36 minutes, 33 seconds
mind. Time to take the bull by the horns and to say no more. I will no longer empathize or sympathize with villains... [https://youtu.be/wHqWF3hnkag?is=cUeklmpI2fZvga2W ]

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

l– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:


“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...
