This is the story of the Biggest Deception in the Politics of the Country, in which first Chanakya defeated the other Chanakya and then the other Chanakya defeated the first Chanakya twice Within just 1 month.This is the story of Maharashtra's politics which took place between Mumbai and Delhi from 24 October 2019 to 27 November 2019._________________________________________________________Started from 24 October 2019:-The election results were declared in both the states Maharashtra and Haryana .The Bharatiya Janata Party (alone) did not get a clear majority in either state. There was a press conference in the evening, in which Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray announced that he would become the chief minister at 50-50 Deal as per the agreement 4 months ago.Amit Shah and Narendra Modi knew that no matter how many tantrums the Shiv Sena can show, they have to go with the BJP in the End.Somehow the BJP formed its government in Haryana with the help of independents.On October 27:- Haryana was sworn in as the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala. And only after that the politics of Maharashtra started.On 27th of October :- Amit Shah called Uddhav Thackeray to Greet On the Occasion of Diwali and also said forget about 50-50 and let BJP take the Chief Minister's post. But Thackeray said in clear cut voice either that the Cheif Minister will be of Shiv Sena or Shiv Sena will not become a member of this alliance. Amit Shah also spoke to Devendra Fadnavis that once he should also talk to Uddhav and make him Understand .On 2-3 November :-Fandavis called Uddhav and said that it would be better if the Shiv Sena Accept the post of Deputy Chief Minister. Thackeray reiterated the same thing that I had promised to Balasaheb Thackeray that the Chief Minister would be of the Shiv Sena or else we would not be a partner in this alliance.By now it was decided that there is no use to convince Thackeray.Meanwhile, on November 07,:- Devendra again tried to talk to Thackeray but he refused to pick up the phone.On November 8:- Devendra submitted his resignation to the governor.And the second largest party Shiv Sena was invited to form the government. But neither Shiv Sena nor NCP had Numbers till then. The Indian National Congress raised questions that the governor did not given us the chance to form the government. After 20 days, the Governor gave the clarification in Interview given To A Private Newspaper that if every party is given the chance, then this series will never end, And tomorrow, AIMIM and MNS will also ask for a chance.Meanwhile, a meeting of the Shiv Sena Legislature Party was called on 11 November :- In which Uddhav Thackeray said that the pride of Shah and Fadnavis is to be broken. And there was a consensus on whether we should form a government with the support of NCP and Congress.President rule was Imposed on 12 November.Seeing the pace of government formation, Sonia Gandhi immediately Ordered two People to leave for Mumbai. One was Ahmed Patel and Second Mallikarjun Kharge.19 NovemberIt was decided that their will be alliance between NCP-CONGRESS-SHIVSENA but a consensus could not be reached on the cabinet, speaker, and Common Minimum Program. In this, Ajit Pawar also made this demand that he needs the post of Deputy CM, but Sharad Pawar refused. And Ajit Pawar left the meeting at the same time.20 NovemberSharad Pawar suspected that Ajit Pawar could play some Game. Sharad Pawar also knew that 35 out of 54 MLAs are close to Ajit and can also prepare for rebellion Anytime.And so Sharad Pawar asked for an appointment with Modi. If you are still thinking that this meeting was held on the issue of farmers then nothing can be done.Swatanshu Shekhar Singh's answer to What is your view on Modi and Sharad Pawar meeting?(I had Written the Same Thing two days ago what Ajit Pawar had On 22nd November )November 21: By the time all the talk was finalized, it was decided that the Congress would get the post of Deputy CM and the NCP would be the Speaker. Ajit Pawar's wish to get Deputy Chief Minister was Broken. When the meeting was over, Ajit Pawar reached at the Residence of Devendra at 11 pm at Night and said that We want to form government with you by breaking 35 MLAs of NCP.Ajit Pawar was the leader of his party(NCP), then his point could also be right. Overnight Devendra sent a message to the governor that we have a figure of 155. So immediately after the removal of President's rule, at 7:50 am Devendra Fandavis took oath as Cheif Minister and Ajit Pawar took oath at 7:55 am as Deputy Chief Minister and this news was made Publicise at 8:02 am by ANI.But How is the magician whose tricks are caught by the naked eye(Sharad Pawar)Shortly after, Sharad Pawar's tweets came that Ajit Pawar's decision is his personal and the party does not agree with him. Uddhav and Pawar also said the same thing in the Conference in the afternoon. In the evening, all three legislative Parties Met Separately. All eyes were on the 54 MLAs of NCP. By 9 o'clock in the night, 48 MLAs out of 54 reached Sharad Pawar's call. 2 MLAs had agreed on the phone itself, we are in Sharad Pawar's camp.Sharad Pawar phoned Ahmed Patel saying that everyone is in control, 50 MLAs are with me and there is no need to worryAhmed Patel also promised that he would form the government and only then would he go back to Delhi.Ajit Pawar and Devendra were defeated in this game.But the matter had reached the Supreme Court. On 26 November, made strict comments by the court and said that the Governor did not follow the constitution and did not take care of the rules and regulations. But Media will not Show this. And ordered that the government conduct floor test tomorrow. The CM and the deputy CM resigned due to lack of Majority just 4 hours after the court order.On the Same night, 162 MLAs including NCP Congress Shiv Sena,SP, Independent informally swore we will not break and will work under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi,Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray. It was a demonstration of Power in front of the governor, in front of Modi, in front of Shah, in front of Devendra,that the Chief Minister will be Uddhav Thackeray.People according to their respective times, sometimes called Shah as Chanakya and sometimes Sharad Pawar and sometimes Devendra(Chanakya Word is Being Used by Media)But the real Player was the one that nobody mentioned,the OneWho helped Narendra Modi to become the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the third time in 2012.Who helped Modi to reach till the PM chair in 2014.Who formed Nitish's government in Bihar in 2015.Who formed Congress Government in Punjab 2017And BJP government in UP in 2017.Who formed YS Jaaganmohan Reddy Government in Andhra Pradesh in 2019.Prashant Kishor :- When the First Script of Sena-Raj was Written.. 05/02/19..In the confidential & closed door meeting, Devendra Fadnavis has instructed his senior party leaders, MLAs/MLCs & spokespersons, not to pass any negative or positive comment against Ajit Pawar for next six months.Kindly Upvote!!!

Denial Of The HolodomorPhoto credit: Alexander WienerbergerThe last Saturday in November, Holodomor Remembrance Day, honors the millions of Ukrainians who died of forced starvation at the hands of the Soviets in the 1930s.[1] Some 80 years later, and a quarter-century after the Soviet Union’s dissolution, the Russian government still denies that this atrocity constitutes a “genocide.”[2]Holodomor means “death by hunger,” formed from 2 words in Ukrainian: “holod” meaning hunger or starvation, depending on context; and “mor” meaning death or plague.[3] It is likely that the word derives from the expression “moryty holodom” which means “to inflict death by hunger.”[4] That’s exactly what happened to the people of Soviet Ukraine and primarily ethnically Ukrainian areas in the Northern Caucasus from 1932 to 1933, during a famine masterminded by Joseph Stalin.The Ukrainian independence movement actually predated the Stalin era. Ukraine, which measures about the size of France, had been under the domination of the Imperial Czars of Russia for 200 years.[5] With the collapse of the Czarist rule in March 1917, it seemed the long-awaited opportunity for independence had finally arrived. Optimistic Ukrainians declared their country to be an independent People's Republic and re-established the ancient capital city of Kiev as the seat of government.[6]The Hunt for Ukraine’s Toppled Lenin StatuesHowever, their new-found freedom was short-lived. By the end of 1917, Vladimir Lenin, the first leader of the Soviet Union, sought to reclaim all of the areas formerly controlled by the Czars, especially the fertile Ukraine.[7] As a result, four years of chaos and conflict followed in which Ukrainian national troops fought against Lenin's Red Army, and also against Russia's White Army (troops still loyal to the Czar) as well as other invading forces including the Germans and Poles.[8]By 1921, the battles ended with a Soviet victory while the western part of the Ukraine was divided-up among Poland, Romania, and Czechoslovakia. The Soviets immediately began shipping out huge amounts of grain to feed the hungry people of Moscow and other big Russian cities.[9] Coincidentally, a drought occurred in the Ukraine, resulting in widespread starvation and a surge of popular resentment against Lenin and the Soviets.[10]A family with starving children 1921 (The Holodomor: Stalin's Genocidal Famine that Starved Millions in the 1930s)At the time of the famine, many witnesses recorded the tragedy, and some of them even hinted at its criminal nature.[11] But the passage of time dulled the memory of succeeding generations, and subsequent publications dealing with Ukraine and the Soviet Union said little of substance about this particular disaster.[12] This event, the first man-made famine in the Ukraine, set the stage for the catastrophic famine of 1932–1933.To lessen the deepening resentment, Lenin eased martial law throughout the Ukraine, restricted the export so much grain, and even encouraged a free-market exchange of goods.[13] Subsequently, people's burgeoning interest in independence facilitated a national revival movement celebrating their unique folk customs, language, poetry, music, arts, and Ukrainian orthodox religion.Joseph Stalin in an authorised image taken in 1937 and used for state publicity purposes (Joseph Stalin - WikipediaWhen Lenin died in 1924, he was succeeded by Joseph Stalin, one of the most ruthless humans ever to hold power. To Stalin, the burgeoning national revival movement and continuing loss of Soviet influence in the Ukraine was completely unacceptable. [14] To reassurt Soviet dominance, he employed the same methods he had successfully used within the Soviet Union.In 1928, Stalin introduced a program of agricultural collectivization that forced farmers to give up their private land, equipment and livestock, and join state owned, factory-like collective farms. Stalin decided that collective farms would not only feed the industrial workers in the cities but could also provide a substantial amount of grain to be sold abroad, with the money used to finance his industrialization plans.[15]Many Ukrainian farmers, staunch advocates for independence, refused to join the collective farms, which they considered a return to the serfdom of earlier centuries. In response, Stalin introduced a policy of “class warfare” in the countryside in order to break down resistance to collectivization.[16] The successful farmers, or kurkuls, (kuraks, in Russian) were branded as the class enemy. Brutal enforcement by regular troops and secret police were implemented to “liquidate them as a class.”[17]Who were the kulaks? + ExampleThe publication of Joseph Stalin’s article “The Year of the Great Break” in 1929, marked the start of the Ukrainian genocide.[18] Beginning in 1929, over 5,000 Ukrainian scholars, scientists, cultural and religious leaders were arrested after being falsely accused of plotting an armed revolt.[19] According to the Ukrainian Quarterly of Autumn 1948, 51,713 intellectuals were sent to Siberia in 1931.[20] It is conservatively estimated that at least 75 percent of the Ukrainian intellectuals and professional men in Western Ukraine, Carpatho–Ukraine and Bukovina have been brutally exterminated by the Russians.[21]Those arrested were either shot without a trial or deported to prison camps in remote areas of Russia. The deportations culminated in the devastating forced famine that killed millions more innocent individuals.After the year of mass starvation, the genocide continued for several more years with the further destruction of Ukraine’s political leadership, the resettlement of Ukraine’s depopulated areas with other ethnic groups, the prosecution of those who dared to speak of the famine publicly, and the consistent blatant denial of famine by the Soviet regime.[22]CollectivizationBy mid 1932, nearly 75 percent of the farms in the Ukraine had been forcibly collectivized.[23]Wth the opening of Soviet archives to public, Soviet direction of the “famine” undeniable. In a December 1932 directive, Communist officials ordered regions placed on the “black list” to endure the “immediate cessation of delivery of goods” and the “complete suspension of cooperative and state trade,” including “farm trade.”[24] The abundant crops Ukraine had produced were requisitioned or sometimes left to rot. Soldiers ransacked whole villages for their edible goods before blockading their residents and denying them the right to buy food.[25]On Stalin's orders, mandatory quotas of foodstuffs to be shipped out to the Soviet Union were drastically increased in August, October and again in January 1933.[26] Small stockpiles of supplies were unable to feed the already starving people of the Ukraine.A corpse of a Famine Victimon the streets of Kharkiv, 1933 (1933 Ukrainian Famine Photos from Ammnede's 1936 'Human Life in Russia'.)Much of the hugely abundant wheat crop harvested by the Ukrainians that year was dumped on the foreign market to generate cash to aid Stalin's Five Year Plan for the modernization of the Soviet Union and also to help finance his massive military buildup.[27] If the wheat had remained in the Ukraine, it was estimated to have been enough to feed all of the people there for up to two years.Holodomor (Ukraine) " World Without Genocide -Ukrainian Communists urgently appealed to Moscow for a reduction in the grain quotas and also asked for emergency food aid. Stalin responded by denouncing them and rushed in over 100,000 fiercely loyal Russian soldiers to purge the Ukrainian Communist Party.[28] The Soviets then sealed off the borders of the Ukraine, preventing any food from entering, in effect turning the country into a gigantic concentration camp.[29]Soviet police troops inside the Ukraine also went house to house seizing any stored up food, leaving farm families without a morsel. All food was considered to be the "sacred" property of the State. Anyone caught stealing State property, even an ear of corn or stubble of wheat, could be shot or imprisoned for not less than ten years.[30]Starvation quickly ensued throughout the Ukraine, with the most vulnerable, children and the elderly, first feeling the effects of malnutrition. The once-smiling young faces of children vanished forever amid the constant pain of hunger. It gnawed away at their bellies, which became grossly swollen, while their arms and legs became like sticks as they slowly starved to death.Ukrainian refugees from the 1932-33 famine (Commentary: Ukraine's Never-Ending Trauma)Mothers in the countryside sometimes tossed their emaciated children onto passing railroad cars traveling toward cities such as Kiev in the hope someone there would take pity.[31] But in the cities, children and adults who had already flocked there from the countryside were dropping dead in the streets, with their bodies carted away in horse-drawn wagons to be dumped in mass graves.[32] Occasionally, people lying on the sidewalk who were thought to be dead, but were actually still alive, were also carted away and buried.Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle. A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was “not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you.” The good people died first. Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died. Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did.[33]While police and Communist Party officials remained quite well fed, desperate Ukrainians ate leaves off bushes and trees, killed dogs, cats, frogs, mice and birds then cooked them. Others, gone mad with hunger, resorted to cannibalism, with parents sometimes even eating their own children.[34]Ukraine Democracy InitiativeMeanwhile, nearby Soviet-controlled granaries were said to be bursting at the seams from huge stocks of 'reserve' grain, which had not yet been shipped out of the Ukraine.[35] In some locations, grain and potatoes were piled in the open, protected by barbed wire and armed GPU guards who shot down anyone attempting to take the food.[36] Farm animals, considered necessary for production, were allowed to be fed, while the people living among them had absolutely nothing to eat.At the time of the Holodomor, journalists, diplomats, and other observers could only guess at the numbers of victims, and estimates varied from 1.5 to over 10 million. Officially, the Soviet government denied that the famine occurred, and death records could not list starvation as a cause death.[37] Later, scholars were hampered by such falsified and inaccessible records and by the criminalization of famine memory.As many as 25,000 people died every day during the famine.[38] Initial estimates of the death toll by scholars and government officials vary greatly. In the first large-scale academic study of the famine, the 1986 Harvest of Despair, Robert Conquest estimated 5 million deaths from famine for the period 1932-33 in Ukraine.[39] More recently, demographers with better access to records and with the latest acceptable demographic methods have estimated that specifically for the years 1932-1934, specifically within the borders of Soviet Ukraine, nearly 4 million people died of famine related causes (not counting average annual deaths.)[40] Adding the unborn to this total yields 4.5 million.What is especially shocking is how such a great number of people succumbed over a very brief period of time: 2 million persons in just 3 months: May-July 1933; 28,000 per day in June of 1933. [41] According to higher estimates, up to 12 million ethnic Ukrainians were said to have perished as a result of the famine.[42] A U.N. joint statement signed by 25 countries in 2003 declared that 7–10 million perished.In the former Soviet Union millions of men, women and children fell victims to the cruel actions and policies of the totalitarian regime. The Great Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine (Holodomor), which took from 7 million to 10 million innocent lives and became a national tragedy for the Ukrainian people. ... as a result of civil war and forced collectivization, leaving deep scars in the consciousness of future generations. ... we deplore the acts and policies that brought about mass starvation and death of millions of people. We do not want to settle scores with the past, it could not be changed, but we are convinced that exposing violations of human rights, preserving historical records and restoring the dignity of victims through acknowledgement of their suffering, will guide future societies and help to avoid similar catastrophes in the future. ...[43]Research has since narrowed the estimates to between 3.3 and 7.5 million.[44] According to the findings of the Court of Appeal of Kiev, in 2010, the demographic losses due to the famine amounted to 10 million, with 3.9 million direct famine deaths, and a further 6.1 million birth deficit.[45]As far as the Soviet Union was concerned, the death of around four million Ukrainians was either propaganda or mass delusion.[46] During the Holodomor, Ukraine was essentially isolated from the world, as borders remained sealed. The Western world didn’t know the full extent of the famine and genocide until it was too late.[47] The few survivors who managed to escape Ukraine after the famine compiled their stories into an archive that was immediately dismissed.[48]Denial of the famine by Soviet authorities was echoed at the time of the famine by some prominent Western journalists, like Walter Duranty.“Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda. There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition.”(as reported by the New York Times correspondent and Pulitzer-prize winner Walter Duranty)[49]The Soviet Union adamantly refused any outside assistance because the regime officially denied that there was any famine.[50] Anyone claiming the contrary was accused of spreading anti-Soviet propaganda. Outside the Soviet Union, Western governments adopted a passive attitude toward the famine, although most of them had become aware of the true suffering in Ukraine through confidential diplomatic channels.[51]Josef Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt atthe Tehran Conference, 1943 (On This Day: United States and Soviet Union Establish Diplomatic Relations)In fact, in November 1933, the United States, under newly elected president Franklin D. Roosevelt, chose to formally recognize Stalin’s Communist government and also negotiated a sweeping new trade agreement.[52] The following year, the pattern of denial in the West culminated with the admission of the Soviet Union into the League of Nations.[53] Stalin’s Five-Year Plans for the modernization of the Soviet Union depended largely on the purchase of massive amounts of manufactured goods and technology from Western nations.[54] Those nations were unwilling to disrupt lucrative trade agreements with the Soviet Union in order to pursue the matter of the famine.It wasn’t until the anniversary of the famine in 1983 that Western scholars began to look more closely at the events of the Holodomor.[55] Even then, denial was rampant. It was endlessly debated whether the Holodomor had been a conscious attack on the Ukraine or just a consequence of policy gone wrong.In 1988, American historian James Mace compiled volumes of information on the Holodomor that finally forced people to confront the reality of this tragic occurrence in Ukraine’s history.[56] Although the Holodomor could no longer be dismissed as a fabrication of Ukrainian refugees, the millions of Ukrainian deaths from the famine were only written into the history books after Ukraine gained its independence in 1991.[57]In Soviet Ukraine, of course, the Holodomor was kept out of official discourse until the late 1980’s, shortly before Ukraine won its independence in 1991.[58] With the fall of the Soviet Union, previously inaccessible archives, as well as the long suppressed oral testimony of Holodomor survivors living in Ukraine, have yielded massive evidence offering incontrovertible proof of Ukraine’s tragic famine genocide of the 1930’s.On November 28th 2006, the Parliament of Ukraine passed a decree defining the Holodomor as a deliberate Act of Genocide.[59] Although the Russian government continues to call Ukraine’s depiction of the famine a “one-sided falsification of history,”[60] it is recognized as genocide by approximately two dozen nations, and is now the focus of considerable international research and documentation.The first thing Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich did after his February 25 2010 inauguration was delete the link to the Holodomor on the president’s official Web site. [61] Yanukovich’s predecessor, Viktor Yushchenko, had made the Holodomor—the famine of 1932–33 produced by Joseph Stalin and responsible for the deaths of millions of Ukrainian peasants—into a national issue, promoting what Czech novelist Milan Kundera famously called “the struggle of memory over forgetting” as part of his attempt to move the country toward democracy.[62] That Yanukovich turned his back so dramatically on this movement to rehabilitate Ukraine’s tragic past indicated the extent to which the recent election was as much about identity as it was about politics.As recent as 2017, the Russian government continues to deny the extent of the Holodomor and their role in creating a policy driven famine and genocide.In 2017, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova told the international press that the Ukrainian government’s use of the phrase “the genocide of Ukrainians” is “politically charged” and “contradicts historical facts.”Furthermore, the U.S. State Department’s statement calling the Holodomor a “Soviet-manufactured tragedy” allegedly “disparaged the memory of the victims of that famine who belonged to other ethnic groups.” She described the Holodomor as merely the result of “severe drought and forced [farm] collectivization” which “hit Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Volga region, the North Caucasus, West Siberia and the South Urals.” Thus, Zakharova perfectly illustrated why the State Department condemned “efforts to deny it as a historical fact.”[63]Footnotes[1] Holodomor Remembrance Day: Why the Past Matters for the Future[2] Russia still denies the Holodomor was ‘genocide’[3] Holodomor - Wikipedia[4] Memory, Conflict and New Media[5] The Ukrainian Crisis: In Russia's Long Shadow[6] The Ukrainian Revolution of 1917 and why it matters for historians of the Russian revolution(s) |[7] The Hunt for Ukraine’s Toppled Lenin Statues[8] Ukrainian War of Independence - Wikipedia[9] https://www.jstor.org/stable/41035958?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents[10] The first man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine 1921-1923 (11/06/88)[11] Eyewitness Accounts[12] The first man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine 1921-1923 (11/06/88)[13] The 'Law' of Diminishing Returns[14] http://acienciala.faculty.ku.edu/communistnationssince1917/ch3.html[15] Collectivization in the USSR: How the Russian peasantry was smashed[16] Genocide in the 20th Century: Stalin's Forced Famine 1932-33[17] Liquidation of the Kulaks[18] Depression Stalinism: The Great Break Reconsidered[19] Stalin in Control[20] SOVIET GENOCIDE IN UKRAINE[21] Why the deadly famine occurred, or comprehending the Ukrainian Holodomor[22] Red Famine by Anne Applebaum review – did Stalin deliberately let Ukraine starve?

There are outward signs, but there are very slight covert sneaky signs.They interrupt you quite a bit (they don’t care about what you’re saying or that you’re talking at all)They try to convince you of what you don’t believe - always wanting you to agree with them (in small ways they do this so they can go in for the kill on larger things later)As an addendum to #2, they try to convince you in random ways that you can’t think for yourself so they can later make you actually believe you cannot “human” on your own and you’re defective. Forget the fact that you’ve survived this long without even knowing them.They take your ideas and make them their own.They bait and switch you. They make you believe one thing in private, then do the opposite in public. They also will convince you to do something and then act like its the worst thing in the world after its done. For example, a husband finally convinces his wife to cut her hair short because she would look so sexy, chic, cute, fierce, all those adjectives. Maybe even that she’ll be his little Halle Berry kitten. Then in public or among friends, he’ll go on and on about how beautiful women are when they’re hair is long and how he looooooves long hair.They love bomb you. Anyone who flatters, says you’re they’re “soul-anything” right away or their “bestie” at an alarmingly fast rate, is setting you up for devalue. They love to put you on high so they can pull the rug from underneath you. Always remember flattery is dangerous. It’s akin to violence. Trust and believe that. And beware of the one who wants to know “all about you” and “I know you so well”, or “wow, You know me so well” before a natural passage of time.A person who doesn’t respect you will not take your No for an answer. They will question you, try to make you doubt yourself, and dismantle your sense of reasoning every time.They’re not interested in anything you’re interested in; on the flip side, they will feign interest to bate you in, and then show no lasting interest or no emotion. They shortly begin to act like they’re tolerating you or your interests, successes, etc. They also are not happy for you when you are happy about something.A person doesn’t respect you when they are short tempered with others but nice to you. Also, if you’re only good to be with in private but never in public, No respect for you.I’ll stop at 10 because the list goes on but over all the things, TRUST. YOUR. GUT. If your physiological responses are popping off in a negative way around this person, or you feel red flags, or just that something isn’t right….You’re right!I hope this tiny little list has helped identify some of things you may possibly have experienced. There are things that we sometimes overlook in the spirit of being gracious or forgiving but the signs are there. We have to learn to manage them or we will end up all of a sudden like the guy who took a nap on a small raft- he eventually woke up and didn’t see land.Stay awake and best to you***Edit: Thanks to a commenter this list will be extended. By the time we’re adults, we all have observed or experienced some form of these things from the casual encounter with a stranger, to professional interactions, to that of our closest relationships. The things listed are meant to cover some of all of those kinds of relationships. So this might get a little deep but, here we go…11. A person doesn’t respect you when you see or even detect that downward look, the roll of the eyes, that negative energy, or that smirk that communicates contempt. You don’t even have to be talking directly to them. You can see it from the corner of your eye- You are NOT imagining it. This is a real thing and they know you’re absorbing it.12. They call you out without saying your name or reveal something very confidential in a public space (whether on social media or within a group of people). This is done without cause and whether this exposes you or not the point is, they know that YOU know they’re talking about YOU. Also, they will have you with them at public events and then actively ignore you. Provable only by you.13. You tell them what hurts you and they use those very things to hurt you. They like to open up wounds.14. They “collect” things you say to fire back at you at a later time, like ammunition. You get the sense that telling them things is unsafe even tho they welcome you to open up to them.15. You have a strong feeling that there’s a hierarchy between you and them; them being superior and you being inferior/subordinate. When there is no employment situation, its disrespectful. (Even in employment, it can translate to subhuman treatment). But if this is a personal relationship its being done on purpose. They tend to find things you need help with or to make better. Sometimes they outright tell you that they want to mentor something in your life, or that they feel like your big brother/sister. Warning: they want you beneath them. In life, period; and they want you not trusting yourself.16. They do not respect your boundaries. (addition to #7). For example: If you’re sick, somehow to them you’re not sick enough not to do the thing they want you to do or your level of illness is questionable to them when they want something. They have the overtone of making you feel better or cheering you up but really grooming you to do their bidding.17. They do “nice” things for you as a deposit in the bank of “trust” so that they can get what they want out of you. Fake altruism.18. They Do Not sincerely apologize.19. They “joke” with you at your expense. Humiliating you. The same things they like you for, they hate you for. Disrespect on tap.20. They rope in others to prove that you’re wrong about something that doesn’t merit right or wrong. Or to make you feel like you’re walking around looking and being foolish. In the meantime, they make you look defective to others. They will even get others to do their bidding and appeal to you; strengthening their claim that you’re just wrong.21. They make a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to you. Always making things a right or wrong…fault or no fault, where there’s no merit for it. They make you feel like other people’s actions, the weather, a circumstance… is your fault too.22. They make you feel obligated to cater to them. They don’t say it, but they clearly communicate it.23. They do offenses with plausible deniability. For instance, they offend you in a way that if you complain about it, they can easily deny it. THEY know and YOU know they did it on purpose but its hard to prove. Anyway, its very damaging.24. They give unsolicited advice. They use words like “why don’t you do..” and “you should…’25. When they give unsolicited advice, they follow up to see if you’ve done it. Then treat you like you’ve committed a crime if you chose to do something else.26. You are treated like the pet of a hot and cold owner; coddled and abused across the board.27. They ask entrapping questions and double bind you; meaning they put you between a rock and a hard place- damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Numerous ways this can be done. Either way, your response or action will be wrong.28. They create drama situations, vilifying you while they play the victim. They do NOT care about your discomfort, setting “standards” you can never reach and always raising the bar.29. They will build you up to let you down. Telling you they will do something you’re depending on them to do and they have no intention of doing it all, while having you in wait and on hold.30. They monopolize your time. They will insert themselves in your space if it serves them. They love to know your coming and going so they can influence what and when you do things. If you deviate, it throws them off and they WILL let you know it.31. Silent treatment (plausibly deniable- but deserved its own place on this list).32. You’re at the climax of a story and suddenly “wait, hold on…let me call you back” - or something of the sort. Something could legitimately come up but in this case its a trend that you notice. Not your imagination, not a coincidence. Even still, they can deny it. When you try to revisit it- the long deep inhale and hard loud exhale (Grrr).33. You’ve worked hard on something your’e proud of or that they encouraged you to do and boom!- reaction of a corpse. Or they give the weakest of responses that actually speak loudly that they could care less; its nothing to them. Or they actually find a fault in it. Well how bout that?34. They gaslight you, re-write history and have circular conversations where you cannot get your problem resolved. Then try to convince you that you are the one who cannot have a progressive conversation.35. They say disrespectful things within earshot of you- but deny saying anything when you confront them.36. They speak too low for you to hear them when you’re in personal quarters. Or they claim to have responded when they didn’t- saying you didn’t hear them.37. When you ask them to clarify something they say “I just said it” or ‘I explained it to you”. And you’re to fend for yourself to figure it out. You’ll be wrong. They want it that way.38. They twist your intent and badger you with noble things (rules, morals, principles)- when you’ve violated none of such things. Just a way to make you seem like you have because you haven’t given them their way.39. They use their measure of “power” to sabotage your opportunities while flattering you for having those opportunities (keep in mind, flattery is akin to violence- its aggression).40. They flat out tell you that ‘They don’t care’! Listen when they say this in any way, shape, or form that they say it. They’re having an honest moment with you. Don’t take it for granted. They mean it.I’m interested in any additions to this list. It gets pretty intricate. But the heir of disrespect in so prevalent that it has become like the fabric of our everyday interactions, cloaked in normalcy. However, an ancient book does say that these days we live in are “critical times hard to deal with…men (people) will be lovers of themselves…haughty…unthankful, disloyal…not open to any agreement ” and so on. (2Tim. 3: 1–5 NWT)Be kind, be on guard, and practice the Golden Rule. We all know how we want to be treated. Let’s extend that good treatment to others.I wish the best to you all
