So, we will try once again-fighting the foolish (because there is no "there" there) shadow banning and eavesdroppers who can't just read but study our content published here: This time: The psychoanalytic precept of "projection." Projection is not what lay people think it is.

Sure, you can 2D it by saying that "projection is when a person projects some state of mind onto another person." Okay, that is like defining water as "wet" you would be right, but water is much more than that. Here is a classic psychoanalytic expression of projection

Mr. Cohen's schtick in all of his "Borat" movies is the racist portrayal of people from Kazakhstan. He ridicules their culture by creating scenes that he repeats over and over in his movies. He routinely portrays Kazahks as pedophiles, habitual abusers of women, slow witted..

Backward transportation (no cars-animal drawn broken down wagons) dirt roads, shanty homes, dress and fashion that is void of any taste. I could go on but you get the picture I hope. He laughs at their expense and he does this using another racist cinema trick (cont)

Mr. Cohen's racist character Borat interacts with white people in contexts where he behaves as a misogynist, pedophilic, backward buffoon and when the white people show tolerance and patience THAT is then punch line. In other words, white people being tolerant IS THE JOKE

White people (mostly) have been conditioned to NOT make fun of other cultures & customs-to the point of being so tolerant that even when Mr. Cohen in his role as Borat behaves in the most outlandish ways-making fun of BOTH Kazaks and White people-his victims tolerate him

THIS IS THE JOKE. Mr. Cohen's schtick includes another character Bruno. Mr. Cohen's portrayal of Bruno is one of the if not THE most homophobic and vicious stereotype of gay men in existence. Mr. Cohen's "Bruno" is everything gay people fight against. Yet he gets away w/it

I have been to beautiful Kazakhstan. The women are pretty (I mention women because Mr. Cohen is especially racist toward these beautiful people), the buildings are modern. I saw Volvo, Buick, Ferrari, BMW among other automobiles on modern roads. I saw high fashion and culture

Here are just a few photos from Kazakhstan. I worked in the image business both on and backstage. As you look at some of these photos of reality. I would like for you to keep in mind how Mr. Cohen has portrayed the women of Kazakhstan

Now reality:

Now Kazakhstan's architecture v. Mr. Cohen's racist and malicious portrayal of this country and its people

Now back to projection: We psychoanalysts use terms like ego-syntonic and ego-dystonic. When something is said to be ego-syntonic it is a part of you. It is embedded within you to the point that you are totally unaware of it. You are a gas breather-it is ego syntonic

You inhale 76% nitrogen and 24 % oxygen. It is just a part of you. Were you to ridicule someone for breathing, call them a buffoon for being a gas breather-that would be a more classic example of projection. Mr. Cohen is so racist, elitist and entitled he has zero awareness

To Mr. Cohen, ridiculing an entire race of people, their culture including men, women, gender roles, architecture, medical practices, music, art is ego-syntonic. It is easy to project upon others exactly what he is because he has zero awareness.

So what is the dynamic that triggered his projection upon President Trump (here is a reminder)

When a person outside of the ego-syntonic world of the projector threatens the ego-syntonic nature of his racist and elitist very nature that act-for a moment-makes the reality of Mr. Cohen's racist and elitist nature ego-dystonic. For a fleeting moment Mr. Cohen became aware

After millisecond, however, Mr. Cohen's defense of projection kicked in (projection is a defense) and thus we see the attack on President Trump. Now one other issue. Personally, what is most disturbing about Mr. Cohen's racism toward Kazaks is this:

As a Jewish person whose people have been subjected to the very same stereotypes, ridicule & prejudice he heaps upon both White and Kazaks he should know better. Mr. Cohen-you should know better. President Trump is right.
