While attempting to lobby for censor, attempting to crush CRT de-NEGRO-fy.American history: He says he's the one being censured. Why? Was it because he didn't let a panel know he was going to show a propaganda video to parents at a school board?

As George Orwell said in a critique of Hitler: “He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock".

"Whaaaaa!I The Blacks aren't letting me be a dictator! What's wrong with them? Whaaaaaa! So, what if I tried to steal the election from them, sniff? Whaaaa! So, I wrongfully purged 200K voters in Atlanta -- many of them black! Whaaaa!I! I'm the victim."

Oh! You're a victim?

“It is a terrible paradox, but those who believed that they could control and define Black people divested themselves of the power to control and define themselves.”

— James Baldwin “On Being ‘White’ … and Other Lies“

“And if others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”

"Every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

"blaming the victim"

"Psychologist William Ryan coined the phrase "blaming the victim" in his 1971 book of that title. In the book, Ryan described victim blaming as an ideology used to justify racism and social injustice against black people."

"Ryan wrote the book to refute Daniel Patrick Moynihan's 1965 work The Negro Family: The Case for National Action (usually simply referred to as the Moynihan Report)."

"Ryan's critique cast the Moynihan theories as attempts to divert responsibility for poverty from social structural factors to the behaviors and cultural patterns of the poor."

Although Ryan popularized the phrase, other scholars had identified the phenomenon of victim blaming.

In 1947 Theodor W. Adorno defined what would be later called "blaming the victim," as "one of the most sinister features of the Fascist character.

"... Er ist der Märtyrer, das Opfer, Prometheus an den Felsen gekettet“.

The above Gaelic poem was done, i believe, in response to Oliver Cromwell and his brutal "scorched earth" policy in Ireland.
