What’s wrong with Apple, and What’s Wrong With the USA? A Lesson From Today.
So after my half day excursion to the apple store, and waiting for two hours, I find that Apple won’t fix my laptop battery. I have to send it out to an authorized repair facility or order the battery and fix it myself. Thankfully there is a shop down the road even if they’re questionable. 😉 My eyesight is no longer helpful in dealing with tiny bits and pieces.
Meanwhile, my backup computer video is ‘iffy’ and breaks down frequently, and I’m writing this missive in part to test it.
So I’m going to do frequent saves to an external drive and try to get this document done and delivered tomorrow (very little chance) – probably delivered friday because I have an unmovable medical appointment tomorrow, and even then I have to cancel participation in the morning staff meeting.
Sidebar: I am struggling a bit here writing this on the new keyboard because while it’s a proper US layout, the distance betweeen the J key (where you rest your right hand) and the delete key is shorter, meaning I keep hitting the lock (logout) key instead of the delete key. But I’ll get used to it. I love these little apple magic keyboards. Unfortunately I can’t find my russian one that has both character sets.
Now on a separate matter, if you know me I’m extremely confident and gregarious (sometimes disconcertlingly so) and try to treat everyone as a peer (despite that it’s anything but the truth) and find something kind or complimentary to everyone, because it’s good manners and Noblesee Oblige. (It’s also a bit intimidating I’m told.) But if you’re ‘in charge’ for most of your life, you recognize that you have to help people overcome ‘fear of the boss’ one on one, and ‘warm up the room’ for groups – and these are techniques you use, on top of being gregarious, forthcoming, active listening, seeking to understand, and seeking to help, rather than to judge.
I might touch you on the arm or shoulder (at lest if your’a a man, while I’m talking to you. This is partly learned behavior and partly adopted skill. And so I’m talking to the tech and trying to explain that its ok that I have to go elsewhere for a repair, and this unpleasant and unattractive but thin blonde in her 30s with still active acne or rosacia, is oddly half paying attention to me despite her support customer having left.
Now I realize by this time that a male engineer acrosss the table who was claiming apple was conspiring against it’s customers (this is not an idiot, he’s just frustrated and venting. And of course as someone who has sold costly stuff for most of his life, and who specializes in incentives, I know he’s going to buy himself a new phone, because he’s got all the signs of money, analytical thinking, and competency. And so I offer to help by explaining the alternatives if he doesn’t. And I text him a set of options. Now, if you knew me you’d understand that i’m elminating his objection to buying a new phone because now it’s a choice rather than a coercion. And of course, he bought the new phone as predicted. And joyfully. And I spent a few moments making the saleswoman and him laugh a bit. (People aren’t really complicated, we’re just a bit dim at understanding how to solve one another’s issues when faced with uncertainty.)
And because I’m me, I’ve talked in one way or another to a half dozen of the staff, making all of them laugh in one way or another. (This is how you gain certainty over the risk mitigation of the room, but you’d have to read The Primal Primer by our fellow Luke Weinhagen to understand why that is.)
Anyway, as I’m talking to this tech who is clearly an educated black man in his late twenties, the half listening white woman talks to me like a five year old and points and my hand, does the down justure you use in preschool classes, and tells me not to touch, and that they don’t do that here.
I won’t tell you what I was thinking beause I’m too kind to really say such things, but I thanked her, told her it was probably a generational thing, gracoiusly giving all parties an out. At which point a normal person would have smiled and moved on. But she didn’t. She began to give me a furrowed brow and a lecture. And the emotion and severity was irrational. She was offended by my behavior. But what behavior? It was clearly before the tech arrived.
Now, I have a little spiel I give to the infantile when they need disciplining, (Again, Noblesse Oblige) but I don’t care enough about this self absorbed nitwit to expend the oxygen, nor do I want to trouble this young man by doing so with him involved.
And that spiel ends with “I’m a man of great ability and achievement and I try to better everyone I meet, in any way no matter how small. So you will address me with Mr Doolittle, or Sir, respect, and deference, or I will correct you by whatever means necessary so that neither I, others like me, or the rest of mankind must suffer your infantile rudeness; because as a responsibile citizen that is my duty.” And yes I can roll some variation of that off the tip of my tongue as circumstance demands. This is followed by whatever set of examples on one hand or degredations on the other. And no I don’t ‘Turn it on’ like that unless it’s necessary. And if you experience when I ‘turn it on’ you won’t forget it. I had a darth vader reptutation for a good reason. But as my dear ex wife Allora advised, “Don’t stomp on the bunnies.” Meaning the little people don’t know what they’re doing.
But on the way home I thought about it a bit. I mean, as I’ve explained in painful detail from every possible direction, despite the origin of abrahamism and marxist-leftism in the Jewish intellectuals, our women, because of their numbers, instincts, magical thinking, and ability to be manipulated, are the cause of the destruction of civilization because they are, or at least too many of them are, evading maturity and adaptation, cowardly and irresponsible – which is clearly unnecessary if you’ve lived with the women in eastern europe who are feminine but neither cowardly or irresponsible – they leave civil order to men. They just cross their arms, and thats all that need be said. Otherwise they’re polite.
So of course, I’m a short senior citizen (well, I’m the same height as tom cruise – or I was before I started shrinking. 😉 ), And, yes, in transparency, I have both boots and lifts for certain occasions when I’m with a lady who wants to wear heels, but I usually wear flats – italian loafers sometimes, but nearly always one of my dozen pairs of Vans. 😉
So, this young man could have easily corrected me himself if he felt uncomfortable. (He didn’t. Unless it was coffee breath, which is a distinct possibility. 😉 ) And she could have moved on. But she waited for an opportunity. An opportuntity to assert dominance. She could have spoken respectfully, but she didn’t. She could have smiled but she didn’t. She could have helped rather than criticized. But she didn’t. Because she has such a lovely and cultivated hatred in her for male confidence and ability to capture attention.
And you all, if you follow me at all, know that I love women (maybe too much) and understand them, and seek to make them feel safe, and despite what I have learned I prefer to keep women on the often undeserved pedestal that the chivalrous to the victorians sought to instill in us, preparing us for majority middle class society and the treatment of one another a customers regardless of sex in both public and private.
But the more I interact with the milennial and GenZ women and men, I recognize that they are all avoiding responsibilty for the preservation of the high trust society, truth before face, and the need to force one another into responsibility for the private and common. And that women are systematically destroying western civilization just as the neomarxists, postmodernists, and feminists intended when they laid out their plans for the destruction of the west and the genocide of the white family, by the march through the institutions of cultural production. Which despite saying it openly in so many books and following through with their plans, the right does not read (because it’s ridiculous), and the left are largely manipulable pawns, who despite the evidence from Gramsci to Friere claim a conspiracy theory – because they don’t read either.
So I mean, who among us is willing to save our civilization and our people by restoring the demand for responsibility despite that single women in particular destroy every possible means of using the voting system to restore it – because single women overwhelmingly determine the outcome of elections. Precisely because the entire purpose of the democratic party is to obtain control by depriving people of the necessity for responsibility, and promise them irresponsiblity and ‘safety’ despite that it’s suicide.
So we have lost the demographic battle. We have lost the voting battle. We are losing free speech, and there for the negotiation and compromise battle. All we have left is the courts (which is a possibility we’re pursuing), or showing up by the millions to demand restoration of our civilization, or continuing to fall increasingly towards civil war or to accept defeat and disappear as rapidly as the Romans.
There is good reason why most men seem to think we are in the stages of the fall of the Roman empire (to the christians and the barbarians) – it’s because we are. The supernatural christians indoctrinating women and slaves,, are now the marxist-postmodernists indoctrinating women and importing the third world as dependents (slaves).
Are we really going to do this again? Another dark age? This time with feminine seduction, baiting or women into hazard, by false promise of freedom from the laws of nature, while they emmasculate our men such that they are fearful of defense of the commons, and eradicate our advanced civilization from this earth?
Well I assume not. But then I’m from Generation Jones (between the boomers and GenX). And yes, I’m a remnant of the aristocratic anglo civilization that’s been forced from power by the left since the 50s through credentialism as a replacemetn for loyalty to civilization and culture. But there must be enough men (I assume) left among us that we can restore and replenish the natural, common, conccurrent law, constitution, and policy including individual responsibiity in the law, and the primacy of family in the constitution, and the suppression and outlawing of all this lying and false promise that so easily captures the malleable minds of young women who, without three or more children NEVER adopt european ethics and morality our ancestors, and the high trust that has made the luxury of their selfishness, pettiness, shallowness, hyperconsumption, political irresponsibility, and antisocial, anti-economic, and anti-political behavior the vehicle for the destrution of our civilization from within.
I’d much prefer we stop thinking of ourselves as failing as a civlization, when it’s women who are systematically destroying it, and men who are letting it happen, because they won’t pay the high cost of restoring our rule of law, rreciprocity, morality, cooperation, compromise, and the economic and social gains of doing so.
So should I have corrected that ‘Angry White Woman’? Yes I should have. And in the future I will.
Meanwhile I need to order a new desktop, ship these two laptops off for repair, get a new cell phone plan, type up a legal document on an ipad, and print it with the ink cartriges I purchsed and drive it to the courthouse without the confidence that I’ve had a few days to sit on my arguments and refine them.
Thanks for listening.
I hope you took something of value from it.
Curt 😉
