Reflections on the lying mindset in the world – Holocaust Edition

Postby AreckoningIscoming » 1 year 1 month ago (Sat Apr 23, 2022 6:51 pm)

One of the biggest weaknesses of (mostly) HONEST people is: realizing that many people in the world are NOT honest nor truthful when push comes to shove. Nevermind knowing how to detect lies on television or in real life. Nevermind realizing how the level of honesty impacts their country’s culture and governmental systems.


As it turns out, there is a modern method that gives us some insight as to the general level of honesty as it relates to the Holohoax.

That method is the CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX by Transparency International.

This index measures the PERCEIVED level of corruption all over the world. It’s not perfect, but it gives us a general guideline. And most countries fail badly. And even the most honest nations have been declining – to the point where no country gets an – A grade – now. The best is a B+.

Measuring corruption is like telling us how truthful the average person is. Going further - it can tell us how truthful the associated RELIGION / way of thought is.

So here are the scores for the countries related to the HoloHoax.

Germany – #10 – 80 out of 100 = B– for honesty
United States – #27 – 67 out of 100 = D for honesty (Was C grade in 2012)
Israel – #36 – score 59 out of 100 = F for honesty
Poland – #42 – score 56 out of 100 = F for honesty
Russia – #136 – score 29 out of 100 = F for honesty


What does this tell us? Well, first we have to realize these are the latest grades, not 75 years ago. Of course, the HoloHoax lie has morphed over the years as well. Of course, Israel did not exist during the beginnings of the HoloHoax of 1945* – but we can sure see how truthful Israelis are now!

*6 million number from earlier notwithstanding

Israel is an interesting case I realize. Not having existed until 1948. Jews make up 75% of the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel

Jewish culture is dominant. So we could say the average Jew in Israel – is quite a dishonest person!* An F grade. And since many Jews in other parts of the world take cues from the motherland.... Now, whether those lies are about love, religion, money, whatever, is another story. It's even more damning for Israel though - because it's a very small country geographically, vs the USA which is spread out for example.

*Talking about issues of the heart, not everyday "life transactions" - where being dishonest would get one called out real fast.
Issues of the heart - like the Holocaust. The reason for existence of your nation.


Anyway -- the general culture of each of these nations / regions has remained roughly the same. Yes, “technology has advanced” for better/worse, and the ethnic makeup has changed in some of them – some quite dramatically, but the majority in each place is still the majority. Regardless, I’m talking about the general character.

So what can one get out of this? Well..people most often lie when certain emotions are involved. Pride (image), love, greed, fear & shame (embarrassment) for example. The lower the grade, the more one needs to have their bullshit meter on. And interestingly enough – Germans show up as much more honest then any of the other nations that are involved in this HoloHoax.

I should note - the more PRIDE one has the more dishonest one is likely to be. Gotta protect that PRIDEFUL image.
And winners generally will build more pride over time...[thinking about the Allies vs Axis nations]

So...there’s a psychological observation I learned about many years ago – the more you lie to others, the more you lie to yourSELF.

I’ll add – the more truth is important to you, the more you can detect lies over time.

Oh…Ukraine also scores very low. Slightly better then Russia. Plenty of lies going around in Russia & Ukraine now.
If you hadn’t already noticed…all the US MSM (Mainstream Media) seems to do is “glow” about the triumphs of Ukraine. Videos about destroyed Russian tanks, plans, & helicopters. Clever Ukrainians. They almost never show Russian triumphs. Seldom do we hear about dead Ukrainian soldiers, only “helpless civilians.” A narrative.

Russia surely lies to its own people as well. The propaganda machine is in full view right now, no need to go back in history to realize it.

Of course…we’re fresh off the Covid vaccine lies….95% effective anyone? And that’s just for starters.
