"Non-judgmentalism" by Your Raving Roving Science Correspondent [Jay Guevara]

Rome existed as a republic and then as an empire for 700 years, in no small measure because of virtues espoused by Roman culture. In fairness, Romans did not uniformly cleave unto those virtues, but that doesn't matter: they held up those virtues as ideals to which all Romans should strive, and which was the basis of Rome's success.

What were those virtues? The personal (as opposed to the public) ones were:

Auctoritas "Spiritual Authority" The sense of one's social standing, built up through experience, Pietas, and Industria.
"Humour" Ease of manner, courtesy, openness, and friendliness.
"Mercy" Mildness and gentleness.
"Dignity" A sense of self-worth, personal pride.
"Tenacity" Strength of mind, the ability to stick to one's purpose.
"Frugalness" Economy and simplicity of style, without being miserly.
Gravitas "Gravity" A sense of the importance of the matter at hand, responsibility and earnestness.
"Respectibility" The image that one presents as a respectable member of society.
"Humanity" Refinement, civilization, learning, and being cultured.
"Industriousness" Hard work.
"Dutifulness" More than religious piety; a respect for the natural order socially, politically, and religiously. Includes the ideas of patriotism and devotion to others.
"Prudence" Foresight, wisdom, and personal discretion.
Salubritas "Wholesomeness" Health and cleanliness.
"Sternness" Gravity, self-control.
"Truthfulness" Honesty in dealing with others.

A sobering list for us, isn't it? Every one of those virtues is now more honored in the breach than observance in our society. Our report card would be a solid "F." In the place of these (real) virtues, we have substituted (much against the will of the AoS readership, I know) the pathetically meretricious weak sauce "virtues" of "diversity, inclusion, and equity" (i.e., D.I.E.). Indeed, espousing any of the Roman virtues would be an excellent way to be "canceled" as a racist, sexist, homophobic, [insert other slurs here to taste] member or fellow traveler of the oppressive white patriarchy.

But D.I.E. are secondary virtues in our society now. The Ur-virtue in 21st century America, from which all the others derive, is "non-judgmentalism." On its face non-judgmentalism is ridiculous. Adults render judgment every day. "This is good, that's bad, this in between." We hold elections which used to be a poll of the judgment of the electorate (now being reduced to a poll of the judgment of Dominion, but never mind; a judgment is still rendered).

Yet the highest virtue of the soi-disant "progressives" is bleating about being non-judgmental, while on the same breath excoriating in the vilest terms anyone and everyone who does not uniformly share every one of their opinions. Apparently that doesn't count in the Non-judgmentalism Derby. For example, as Jonathan Turley reports, recently Dr. Aruna Khilanani spoke at the Yale School of Medicine, where she imparted this little nugget of non-judgmentalism:

Khilanani then gives a chilling observation. After noting that she stopped watching news because it upset her too much, she noted “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f–king favor.

She seems nice.

Turley also cites a seminary professor who prayed for God to help him hate white people, and others who advocated
“detonating white people,” denouncing police, calling for Republicans to suffer, strangling police officers, celebrating the death of conservatives, calling for the killing of Trump supporters, supporting the murder of conservative protesters and other outrageous statements.

all of which sound just a tad on the judgmental side (not to mention the psychopathic side).
The estimable Theodore Dalrymple has written extensively (and with an erudition I could only dream of approaching) on non-judgmentalism

Whence comes this non-judgmentalism? And to what purpose? Comparison of the Prime Directive of "progressive" thought (pardon the oxymoron) with the Roman virtues listed above suggests that non-judgmentalism was consciously promulgated to undermine Western culture generally and American culture in particular.

Consider, for example, the treatment of vagrants today with that of vagrants of yesteryear, where they were reviled and shunned. Today anyone addressing the vagrancy problem in public will invariably preface his comments with a bow toward "compassion" and "humanity." Society is blamed for all individual faults and failings. Didn't succeed at something? Society prevented you from succeeding. Became addicted to drugs? Committed a crime? Society made you do it. It's as though the philosopher of our time is jailed con man Kevin Trudeau, whose tagline used to be "it ain't your fault," and who asserted to the faithful that their problems or shortcomings arose because "they" had stacked the deck against the faithful, and they/society was to blame. Oddly, however, if the faithful succeeded at something, that was 100% their doing, and they/society had nothing to do with it.

Any suggestion that an individual has any responsibility whatsoever for his faults and problems is castigated as "blaming the victim."

It's a fundamentally unhealthy and pernicious perspective that resonates with people of poor character, because it excuses them from blame and the need to take a personal inventory and assume responsibility for their own lives. It's a perspective that is now widely extant, and one that has as its centerpiece the doctrine of non-judgmentalism.

The lecture also aimed to "understand how white people are psychologically dependent on black rage."

63 I think a lot of this idea that being "non-judgmental" is a virtue comes from a misreading of Matthew 7, where the warning is probably closer to "don't be a hypocrite".

Not much later comes "give not that which is holy unto the dogs" and "cast not your pearls before swine". Which suggests to me some amount of judgment.

90 It sounds like hyperbole, but the federal, state, academic and corporate demonization of Whitey, the "otherization" of people based on ethnic or religious heritage, or political beliefs is part of a continuum that always precludes outright civil war, and/or genocide.

This was true in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Maoist China, Cuba, Cambodia, Rwanda, Yugoslavia, etc etc. It isn't going to "get better", people won't "come around", the cavalry isn't coming, no one is going to save you. They will turn your ass in for extra chocolate ration. It has happened exactly this way, Every Time. You better pay attention, because they are not fucking around, they want this, and have been fantasizing for decades.

It seems to overcomplicate the matter in two important ways. First, as with SO many things we discuss in our culture today, the "left does it too" argument seems rather beside the point.

And B, it strikes me as REMARKABLY easy if one tries, to judge the behavior, and to leave judging of the person to God.

So if you say we ought to be able to judge some behaviors as better than others, youbetcha. I'm right there with you, pal, but I'm gonna go ahead and do the best I can to avoid the temptation to judge people. It seems such an easy ride to get from there to the gas chambers. Of one sort or another.

Here's the thing: it's natural for grad students (in particular) to marry their pet hypotheses, but it is a tendency that has to be beaten out of them. Rather than tiptoe around the crucial experiment so as to protect their baby - an all too common reaction - I told them to grab their baby by the heels and swing its head into a brick wall. (Gotta go with evocative imagery.) If their baby is sound, it'll stand up to that treatment and smash the wall. And if it doesn't, then it doesn't deserve to survive.

That is the idea. The connection to people lies in deciding whether or not they are worthy of sympathy. If they caused their own problems (drug addicts, criminals, etc.), then no. They need to clean up their act, which caused their problems.

Per vagrants, while there are some people who end up on the street because they're truly unlucky, the ones who stay there do so mostly for the reasons you outline. But treating them compassionately and humanely doesn't countermand being judgmental about them. In fact you *have* to be.

If you want to help one of those people, then you have to be the one to give them a hard shake and say "look, you're here because you fucked up. Probably a lot. You need to recognize that and change it and stop before you can get better."

That's judgmental. It's also very caring.

Exactly. Extending "compassion" as most people have it in essence means being an enabler. Sometimes putting some foot in some behind is the kindest thing you can do.

I used to liken it to someone coming to doctor's office with a broken leg. The doctor can give him painkillers indefinitely - i.e., a palliative measure), but the painful reduction of the fracture and applying a cast/splint would be a therapeutic measure, and the one that solves the problem in the long term.

I would argue, let's take this WHOLE idea of sympathy out of the equation. I don't have to have sympathy for the drug addict, nor the person whose house was destroyed by a tornado. I can look at the situation and ask how I can help. If I can, then I will, if I can't, then I won't.

Smith's position was "F that, it's not free speech to jam neo marxist trash down children's throats. That's child abuse."
Posted by: BurtTC at June 05, 2021 07:51 PM (naMR+)

Ideally people advocating such trash would be ostracized by other people, but not by the state. In essence there would a social referendum on the views they expressed. Marketplace of ideas, and all that.

Our problem now is the political dialogue is controlled by extremists who are perfectly happy to resort to violence to silence others.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at June 05, 2021 07:52 PM (YqDXo)

I would agree in theory, and in the past it pretty much worked that way.
But social consensus requires a multitude of voices, and many are silenced now so that the image of consensus is reached.
But in reality and right now, things are much more dire. What to do? I dunno, but expecting some sort of "normalcy" to re-emerge using our worn out definition of normal seems foolish.

The New Normal is a dark place.

Promulgating a legal standard is difficult, and invites efforts to game the situation and come right up to the border. Social standards are another story.

I call it the "minefield scenario." If you specify EXACTLY where the minefield begins, people come up to within an RCH of it with impunity.

But if you're a bit vague: "I think the minefield begins somewhere over there," people will give it a wide berth indeed because they just don't know where exactly it begins.

So says two kids who write for WAPO as 'journalists' but are really no different than most kids that you need to provide shelter for and buy them food and then cook it for them, call them to dinner and then afterwards put them to bed while gently reminding them they need to get up in the morning early because they need to go to work, all while you set the alarms for the little dears.

369 "Our political vagueness divides men, it does not fuse them. Men will walk along the edge of a chasm in clear weather, but they will edge miles away from it in a fog. So a Tory can walk up to the very edge of Socialism, if he knows what is Socialism. But if he is told that Socialism is a spirit, a sublime atmosphere, a noble, indefinable tendency, why, then he keeps out of its way; and quite right too. One can meet an assertion with argument; but healthy bigotry is the only way in which one can meet a tendency."

Sadly, Matt Viser, who co-wrote this particular childishness, is in his early 40's, but he is basically your proto-typical red diaper baby, having wrote for the Boston Globe's liberal political pages for 16 years. The man never grew up, apparently. Rather pathetic.

The other child involved in this mess is Yasmeen Abutaleb, a product of Maryland, who apparently joined Reuters when she was 23 and is now at the tender age of ~30 going on 16. She joined WAPO a couple of years ago, because I guess she wanted co-bylines with man-child Matt...

It pays to know who these people are that write these articles - they aren't "journalists" in any sense...they are red diaper babies or lefty wackadoos, every one.

421 Infidel, I checked the EMT and thanks for the update.
I'm with everyone else, limit your contact with the guy as much as possible. Be only as pleasant as he is with you.

As for me, I am personally worried. I want badly at this stage for my mom to sell the house we are in. The neighborhood is still decent but the ghetto seems to creep closer in every year, and meanwhile it's crumbling. I want her to sell it and move to a nice area before it becomes worthless.

But my mom won't do it, because she's "afraid." Has no idea what she's afraid of, she just is. If I try to challenge her, she cries and gets really nasty and accusatory and claims I'm an abusive son.

If this house is still in the family when she dies, I guaran-fuckin-tee that my angry (and thanks to her boyfriend, now leftist) sister will demand we keep the house, although I and my other sister (the one who has most of the money, and is successful/more level-headed, as well as conservative) want to sell. If we forcde her to sell, I wouldn't be surprised if she goes out of her way to destroy the house. I also don't know 100% if my sane sis will back me up as much as I'll likely need her to.

441 Infidel, thanks. I pray for good things for you and your family as well.

There is a chance I can get her to a new place in a few years, once (a) my niece has become 18 and moves on (she lives with her dad nearby), and (b) the un-sane sister can finally divorce niece's dad, then marry and hopefully move in with Mr. New Lefty Guy.

Mom *says* she's open to really looking seriously at moving at that time, and I can live with waiting another 2-3 years. But if we get there and she's "afraid" again, I fear for my own sanity. I will go (or at least, want to go) batshit. I do *not* want this house to be in the family when Mom dies, because if it is, my un-sane sister will *not* want to sell it, but rather insist I live here forever, which I will *not* do.

So things could be very good in a few years, or I could end up homeless. Sigh.

448 Kindltot, I'm trying those, and as of now they seem to be working. My mom acknowledges there are good reasons to leave, and openly complains about how much upkeep the current house is, as well as how much she hates paying California's constantly-rising property taxes (even with Prop 13).

As of now, between my mom being more reasonable and my sane sister backing me up, I feel like I'm in a good place. But I also know how south everything can go, and how quickly, and can't help but worry. :-)

454 There's very little inflation if you don't count gas, food, and housing.

455 432 qdp, I am so sorry. I know your neighborhood. I wish you could get your mom to a more peaceful place.

Sounds like you've painted yourself into a corner.

Without the familial entanglements you could purchase another house, set it up, take her for a ride "home", then sell the old place.

456 Braenyard, agreed.
It would also help a ton if I had more money saved.

460 "diversity, inclusion, and equity" (i.e., D.I.E.)

should be read as:

"Divisiveness, Inequity, Exclusion"

Because that's what the bastards really mean...
