"I Want To See The Manager!!"

I'm White, and I demand to go to the front of the line!!

Wow…he seems nice, eh?

Actually, no- Patrick Howley is not a nice guy. Somehow, he succeeds in making Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) look like the Dalai Lama. I don’t know what happened to put his panties in such a wad, but it seems Howley has some SERIOUS anger management issues.

Sadly, Howley is one of those “White Makes Right” folks who sincerely believe that America is the property and purview of Conservative White Christians. All others need not apply, and if you don’t like it, tough $#!&- Ukraine is beautiful this time of year, knowhutimean?

Patrick Howley is a racist, antisemitic, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist who writes for the National File and hosts a weekend program on the Patriot’s Soapbox, a streaming network popular with QAnon conspiracy theorists.

During Sunday’s episode of his “The Campaign Show,” Howley had a screaming meltdown over the fact that he has not achieved the comfortable life to which he believes he is “entitled” as a white man in America and that he is instead being “screwed” by a system that is actively trying to replace him with non-white citizens and committing genocide against white people.

Yes, Howley feels that the mere fact of being White means that he’s “owed” a life of luxury, comfort, and 72 virgins. Because he hasn’t achieved that, he’s of course being “screwed” by The Man, who’s actively committing genocide in an effort to eliminate White people.

Hopefully, you haven’t spewed coffee over your laptop’s keyboard in disbelief…’cuz Msgr. Howley is dead serious.

“Every single arm of this crooked wicked system is mobilizing to screw me and everyone like me, and no one is coming to save us. And yes, I’m complaining about it,” Howley screamed. “Where’s the manager? I want to see the manager!. I want to speak to the manager! I have a fucking complaint!”

“I’m tired of waiting in line when I know that the line is simply leading to genocide,” he continued. “We are sick and damn tired of being disparaged, of being told that we are lazy, of being told that we are bad people, of being told that we’re whining about the fact that we are being replaced in our own country, which we actually love even though it doesn’t love us back anymore.”

“We have had enough!” Howley raged. “We hate your system.”

Well, to quite the late Chris Farley, “La dee frickin’ da!!”

Here’s the thing about America: Unless you’re fortunate enough to be born into wealth and privilege, nothing is handed to you. EVERYTHING is earned. Patrick Howley would rather whine about not getting his “due” than work to achieve whatever it is he wants. Does this make him “lazy?” If lazy means being more willing to bitch and moan than work to achieve his goal, I’d have to say yes.

Even with White privilege on his side, he’s still coming up short. Methinks that has more to do with his attitude and sense of entitlement than anything, amiright??

Is Howley a bad person? My purpose here is not to dabble in subjective judgments, so I’ll allow my reader to draw their own conclusion. You can probably get what mine is.

One problem with Howley’s screaming outragefest is that he’s not being “replaced” in his “own country.” I’d challenge him to provide even one example of where this is actually happening. I don’t know what his chosen profession is, but I’m guessing he’s something of a professional dilettante and one who’s not terribly serious or willing to work hard. If he feels that he’s been passed over, he might want to look at the man staring back at him in the mirror.

“I am going to work as hard as I possibly can to make the people who have taken this country away from me feel as miserable as they make us,” Howley vowed. “It is personal. It’s about revenge now, demons! You have declared war on us. You want to destroy our lives? You want to wipe Western civilization off the face of the Earth forever? Well, you know what? We are going to make your life miserable too, and that’s how it is now, and that’s how it’s going to be for the rest of our lives. So get used to it, fuckers!”

I’m willing to wager that Howley’s hatred and prejudice are misplaced anger that should be directed at himself for his unwillingness to do what needs to be done to achieve his goals. No, he’d rather assume that being White means that things should be handed to him.

Perhaps in his line of work he competes with immigrants who really do work harder, put in the time, and produce better results…and whose fault is that? Howley can’t credibly make others responsible for his lack of motivation and drive.

Being a Conservative White man in America may mean you accrue certain privileges not available to others, but there comes a point where you need to demonstrate your worth and worthiness. Being mediocre and assuming that your race automatically gives you an edge is a recipe for disappointment in many fields. That may be what Howley’s bumped up against…and perhaps he lacks the self-awareness to recognize his own part in where he is (or isn’t) in life.

No one’s going to hand you something simply because of who you are. If you demonstrate that you’re willing to work hard, produce good results, and be an asset, odds are good that opportunities will open for you. If not, you can probably count on being mired in mediocrity and achieving mediocre results. That’s not the fault of Jews or immigrants. you should be taking credit for that yourself.

Howley can scream all he wants, but the “manager” isn’t coming. He needs to figure out his own life…and get a handle on his anger management issues. The man’s blood pressure has got to be through the roof, no?

I’ll see your “fucking complaint” and raise you that no one cares about your racism, hatred, and unwarranted entitlement. No matter how loud you scream.

NO. ONE. CARES.
