No weapon formed against me III
In the past year in New York, I’ve unintentionally triggered a few Caucasians into confrontations by touching on their profound insecurities.
In the first instance, a gentleman who had heard my podcast invited me for a drink and brought along an interesting book on “risk.” As we sat at the bar (only free spot), where two lovely women were also seated, my back was turned to them while I engaged in a genuine, unpretentious discussion about markets wit the gentleman I came to see. Suddenly, from behind me, I heard the question, “What are you reading?”
We exchanged pleasantries, explaining the context of how the book came to be there and how I had met the gentleman. After a few minutes of light banter, the gentleman announced he needed to head home but jokingly proclaimed that I was in the “good hands” of the blonde and brunette.
This proclamation, however, seemed to dismay another man seated in the corner, who had been attempting to buy drinks for the two women. To his surprise, the blonde and brunette insisted that I stay, making it clear they enjoyed my company. My mere, effortless presence appeared to be enough to pose a significant threat to the man in the corner.
As he increased his CAPEX with no ROI he became more enraged by what had transpired and thought he could critique my attire. This was an even bigger mistake because, for those who know me, I am always on point. Criticizing my attire only highlighted his lack of emotional intelligence in front of the ladies as they are the choosers not men. Which continued to work in my favor if I was interested to perusing the ladies.
Fortunately for him, I don’t lack validation, so later on, I excused myself to head home. As I made my way to the door, he tried to have some choice words for me, which was the most hilarious thing ever.
What’s even more hilarious is that this happened in 2024, in multicultural New York City in which Peter Pham effortlessly intimidates the WASP.
DEI didn’t equate for that!
LMAO
I’ve been reading a book called White Trash about classism in America. The preface is very interesting and still holds significance today.
It’s interesting in the sense that it attributes Trump’s victory to the idea that he tapped into the disinherited, rural outsider identity, emphasizing hard work and the fear of losing class status.
This stands in contrast to Clinton’s or Kamala’s focus on pedigree elites, urban indiscernibility, cosmopolitan professionals, equality, and faith in upward mobility.
‘Make America Great Again’ is another way of saying that hard work is no longer automatically rewarded as a virtue. It tapped the anxieties of all who resented government for handing over the country to less deserving classes…
All of this further enhances my belief in the nuanced world we live in, one that truly needs an ideological framework capable of fostering mutual respect on all sides and their agendas.
What’s needed is someone who is objectively exceptional.
Not people that are slotted in.
This is why I believe I’m genuinely living the American Dream.
