Damian M. Schloming ideas and information

Naomi Wolf on rape: "...ours is increasingly an age of geopolitics by blackmail."

This website is to allow me to present intelligibly my thoughts and insights on various social, political, historical and even scientific issues I've been studying in the past two years. 

Some of which I have background knowledge of due to having been involved with and interested in various political movements many years ago. 

My political viewpoint leans towards libertarian, except that I am not completely happy with the way some of them think. Libertarians want limited government and civil liberties. As a matter of principle, that is excellent. But then libertarians seem to suffer from this ingrained bias of Western Culture that you can somehow intellectually decide that government "should be" a certain way and then the perfect society can then be achieved by some legislative body sitting down and crafting some written rule decreeing that that is how society is to be from now on.

 

Actually, I think government and the larger society it is embedded in is more like some kind of living beast that you can train or that can morph in one direction or another, but it can't be so easily manipulated or changed as we think. Written rules don't have the exact effect they literally intend, but instead enforcement of the rules and all sorts of other considerations regarding government bureaucracies results in all sorts of ripple effects or unintended consequences. As a result, the most free society does not necessarily result from the one with the nicest and most free sounding written constitution or constitutional rights guaranteeing liberty. A very good example of this issue is the liberal Warren Court expanding all sorts of fifth amendment procedural and technical criminal protections for defendants. Liberals saying they want to do this might be arguing this is to help the poor. The opposite is the truth. This is to help defense attorneys, and why is that a bad thing? Because criminal procedures and technicalities of the liberal Warren Court only resulted in defendants having protection IF they could hire an expensive enough attorney to do a good enough job PRESSING them. Public defenders are part of the corrupt court system, they deliberately do a bad job so as to make sure well heeled defendants find it worth their while to pay extra. Huge sentences ALSO give well heeled defendants more incentive to pay extra. Thus, defense attorneys representing rich criminal defendants have a vested interest in maintaining the strict sentencing policies responsible for Mass Incarceration. Furthermore, there was a law school bubble which burst, and now law schools are doing poorly because lawyers are not finding it worth their while to spend so much money on a law degree. Fact of the matter is, those liberal Warren Court protections indirectly increased legal fees for defense attorneys, thereby contributing to the upward pressure on college tuition and law school tuition, simply because the amount of money attorneys could make from a law degree made it more worthwhile. 

It also is true that the regulatory state increased in many other ways, increasing demand for attorneys in other spheres besides the criminal justice system. But I am going to talk about the criminal justice system here for now to use it as an example.

This is just one example showing how a policy that, examined in the most superficial way you think it's designed to help criminal defendants overall in the long run has the exact opposite effect. Because these protections are ones that only can be accessed by those with the money to pay for top dollar attorneys. And, it isn't always necessarily related to the facts of the case. The attorney usually has an incestuous relationship with everyone else in the court system, so much so that basically if you pay the right attorney enough money, you will get off because he is friends with all the judges and prosecutors, and parole officers, etc.

And for me to say that could lead to others thinking it is rather awful to have a court system so incestuously corrupt. Except, these are all nice people who know each other and court systems have ALWAYS been like this, more or less. And they always will be this way. Government is incapable of being perfect. Understanding its inherent imperfections such as this are necessary when it comes to avoiding passing laws which interact with such a culture in a way to produce very bad outcomes.

 

After all, we have always had government and, for some reason, it would appear if we always have had it, that is because we need it. The inner workings of government are so awful, you discover after you observe it, it can easily lead many to think we should just abolish it. But, given that that is impossible, the best alternative is to understand it as inherently flawed, and realistically think of how to make things "the least bad."

This is what I have thought for a long time, yet only recently have I stumbled across some law professors who subscribe to a movement called "legal realism." It turns out they think exactly the way I do, and see the same flaws in our society (or in the thinking of popular culture which leads to wrong-headed policies in our legal system) that I see.

Oddly enough, they seem to describe themselves as leftists yet they are not the kind of ordinary mainstream leftist most people would understand to be "of the left." Which is strange because I never would have thought of myself as a liberal -- but not a conservative either. But maybe this is because of certain strands of liberalism I have been exposed to which are quite awful. 

In any case, why categorize oneself? As I study and learn more about society, I like to share various insights and not limit myself to any one "box" or "category" that I pigeonhole myself into.

[QUOTE=dmschlom;134911]Read the end part of the conversation, what I wrote. It says a lot about how many people get involved in systematically manipulating someone. 

[quote]  Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ in any case - it is far more than just personal. The despicable evil things done to individuals are part of a strategy that helps large corporations make huge profits -- who then pay off enough people so as to perpetuate it. Those cops who are cruel and abuse people, and their hangers on, just think they are better than everyone else, privileged people who have managed to land themselves a privileged position in a corrupt evil system.1 hr · Like‪

           

            Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ I do have one question for Justin -- and that is why doesn't he have the balls to behave like a man about it? All this passive aggressive stuff like treating an actual rape victim you are related you rottenly, and then going on TV later on and issuing a bunch of platitudes, even while blocking your ex wife -- that's all in all very passive aggressive bullshitty even while trying your best to get accolades for your behavior, as well as sympathy as well, as if you are a victim yourself.35 mins · Like‪

           

            Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ that's sort of like "what can I milk this all for." And, guess what? I think you knew there was some sort of plan for that man to rape your wife -- and I would not be surprised if you deliberately provoked a fight with her in order to provoke her into spending the night in that house alone, where she could be raped. I know, every single time anything like that happened to me, every person involved very deliberately set it up and it was pre-meditated. How do we know you did not court her and marry her SOLELY for the purpose of arranging for her to be raped like that, in return for whatever quid pro quo? Because tons of gay guys played EXACTLY the same game with me -- for self advancement. Faking romantic interest, so they could benefit from putting me in positions where I could be abused. And, again, that is also part of a larger pattern that occurred not only with me.31 mins · Like‪

           

            Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ As far as i'm concerned -- you had a back room deal with Alliano. Cuz everyone who faked romantic interest in me -- and then arranged for me to be abused -- did. And what is so special about you that your behavior didn't follow that pattern? I notice, also, if you look on A Voice For Men website, you will learn of discussions with men who have had WOMEN do that to them -- women connected to the corrupt LEGAL SYSTEM fake romantic interest, then manipulate them and set them up to be abused by the system. In other words, in this country, that sort of behavior is widespread. It's what insiders of a certain criminal class connected to the legal system and savvy in the legal system do to outsiders, for a reward.28 mins · Like‪

           

            Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ Btw -- I'm not talking about anyone I knew having a connection with Alliano specifically -- but I'm talking about the tons of guys who faked interest in me, all turning out to have various deals with either criminal types or businessman types, and doing it quite deliberately as part of a quid pro quo. and EVERYTHING about this case tells me -- no way did the cops not know. The cops are criminals too.26 mins · Like‪

           

            Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ and, way to go -- fake being a victim and it's all about your victimhood and how your superiors treated you insensitively. Except, that's the problem -- all these self indulgent faux victims who are really self seeking criminals faking it all, in order to hide and be excused for their manipulativeness.6 mins · Like‪

           

                        Remove‪Damian Schloming‪ now, yeah the system is corrupt, you have to have balls to stand up to it, be willing to stand up for what's right even if it means pay a cost -- which is quite different from feigning victimhood so you can get your pretty face on TV, even while you have the real victim on block and also safely tucked away out of sight. Get your face on TV --and shake down more funds for "the system." And get on TV and make money and get all sorts of opportunities, with everyone saying how wonderful you are -- even while they shun the real victim who is perpetually "persona non grata" in that fake superficial world of suck ups and fakes you inhabit.3 mins[/quote]

Notice how I told Justin that I believe he knew his wife was going to get raped and that he was involved in some pre-meditated plan? To be honest, it may or may not be true. It's possible he didn't have control over things and other people planned this out without his assent, or it's possible he married this woman in order to do these criminals a favor, and this was all a deliberate set up. Actually, to be honest, it's highly probable. There are so many individuals out there who will do this, and to them it's like climbing the ladder. It's how you get ahead. You play the game. Those who don't play the game -- they are little people who aren't big shots, aren't "one of the cool kids."  

Here is just one example of someone I confronted who did something similar to me. Or, let me put it this way, the chances that "it was just a coincidence" and he wasn't involved the way all those other guys are is very close to zero. Basically, for awhile almost every gay men I'd talk to online would go and, the way it would be, everyone would shun me -- except for the one person who would be willing to meet up with me, who would turn out to be a criminal who had a whole pre-meditated plan to take advantage of me. Basically, everyone got involved in the crimes committed against me. Even if it was just to manipulate me into a situation where I could be taken advantage of. And some of these crimes included things that left me with brain damage, for instance, really hard core evil abuse. 

Now when I confront these guys, a lot of them respond in a way that's like how lawyers talk -- notice how I called him on that. As for this man, I remember he chatted me up for a long time, always had excuses, but he had certain ambitions he told me about -- which I now realize, that's why he spent so much time talking to me and manipulating me. Notice how he pretends he doesn't know who I am at first. Oh wait, sorry, that part is a previous part that wasn't in the print screen. But it's bullshit for him to pretend he doesn't recognize me. It's how he covers up that he is much too aware of who I am (and how helping others take advantage of me can help him), and then notice how when I first confront him on what he did, he takes forever to figure out what to say, and then when I confront him on that, he goes and says he is scared of me, etc. Well he sure didn't seem scared of me before, and there really is nothing that ought to have changed, other than me wising up. That, indeed, is one of the big problems. Too many people were totally the opposite of scared of me -- and, instead, very eager for the rewards they could reap out of participating in crimes committed against me so horrible, there is no way you can be scared of someone and go think you can do something like that to them.

So that's why I get how in the MRA movement they scoff at the saying "not all women are like that." And insist "all women are like that" except for a few exceptions. More accurate, though, would be to say nearly all women and nearly all men are like that. Will aid and abet crime and other sociopathic behavior. Because that's the cultural norm in this country.[/QUOTE]
