The Article Describing Woke I Wish I'd Written

John

May 15

Because it sums up what a lot of people think about it unless they are on the dole for woke money (Patrice Cuellors). I see a bunch of attention and wallet grabbers trying to make a quick killing while making up facts to suit their purposes. It's clear they don't care about what they say they represent. Take away the funding and see how much they care.

What is funny to me is that the woke are being used by politicians and they don't even know it.

The Users Guide To Woke:

Wokeism is not what it pretends to be.

It fools a lot of people by pretending to be about high ideals. It pretends to struggle against injustice, overcome oppression, and so on.

But in reality, it's something very different. For many more of us, the scam is clear: the Woke simply want power. They just want to rule over the rest of us. They've already made astounding progress toward this goal.

How are they pulling this off? They're working to invent a flood of rules that we must live by, but they don't. They want two sets of rules -- some for us, others for them.

For example: Offending them is a terrible thing. It's so terrible, in fact, that they've been trying to make it illegal to hurt their feelings. Yet they can offend us all the time.

They insist that subjective feelings are profoundly important -- important enough to write laws and even base entire societies on. Yet our feelings are routinely ignored, minimized, dismissed, mischaracterized, or forcefully suppressed.

They justify everything they do based on their imaginary fantasies and utopian ideals, yet they dismiss everything we do because of the sinister aims they imagine we have.

They insist that we "shouldn't judge" other people, and any expression of disapproval of their behavior, however mild, is completely unacceptable. Yet they "judge" us -- quite harshly -- all the time.

They insist on being allowed to be who they are, yet they refuse to let us be who we are.

They insist that we're such terrible people that they refuse to even engage in a dialogue or conversation with us. Yet they claim that we're the ones who are intolerant.

They claim the ability to know exactly what's in our hearts (via their mind-reading skills, presumably), yet they insist that what's happening in their hearts is something mysterious and profound that we can never understand.

They claim that we can never understand them because we've never lived their experience, yet they claim to fully understand us even though they've never lived our experience.

They insist on being judged solely by their good intentions, yet they insist on judging us solely by the imaginary motives they project onto us.

To call them unflattering names, accidentally or otherwise, is a horrific crime, they say (despite their ever-shifting, incoherent, exhausting jargon regarding what they want to be called), Yet they call us truly horrific names all the time ("fascist," "racist," "hater," "White supremacist," etc.)

They talk about race and gender relentlessly, as if those are the only important matters in life, yet they constantly accuse us of being racist and sexist.

They constantly accuse us of racism and sexism, while they continually judge people, divide them into groups, and try to reorganize the entire world according to individuals' gender or skin color.

On the topic of males and females, they lecture us about the horror and intolerance of being "binary," and insist (despite biological realities) that there are infinite shades of gray -- yet they also declare that everyone is either a "Racist" or an "Anti-Racist," and that's it, those are the only two options.

They psychologize all of our motives ("You're really doing that because of X, Y, and Z"), yet they insist that their own motives are completely pure and noble. (This applies even when their motives are glaringly and transparently corrupt.)

They insist on being allowed to define themselves, yet also insist that we can't be allowed to define ourselves. They define themselves as heroic crusaders who fight Nazis, fascists, racists, etc. (which we're also against, by the way) -- but they refuse to acknowledge that we're fighting evils as well, such as communists, tyrants, and totalitarians.
