Framing
Random convective thought.
I was pondering yet again the total lack of apologies and real revelations. Asked a broader question: When was the last time a politician or CEO apologized for ANYTHING?
The answer is obvious. Rulers apologize all the time, but they NEVER apologize for their own crimes. They apologize for shit that happened hundreds of years ago, done by people who couldn't possibly be under the control of the ruler.
Apologizing on behalf of someone else makes sense when the someone else is your employee, under your control. In that case the proper action is to apologize for the subordinate, apologize more strongly for your own control of the subordinate, then resign.
When the someone else isn't your subordinate, on-behalf apologies are FRAMEUPS, not APOLOGIES. When a CEO apologizes for slavery, he is FRAMING and BLAMING people who lived a long time ago, who were OBEYING LAW AND MORALITY at the time.
Agrarian slavery was normal for thousands of years, and in fact it was BETTER for the workers than Yankee sweatshop slavery. The agrarian owner had to take care of his employees for life, while the Yankee owner can discard an employee whenever he wants.
So the ex post facto apology is a FALSE ACCUSATION and a FRAMEUP.
