Our institutions have strayed so far from their mandates of providing reliable information to the public. The road back will be difficult to navigate, but we must do so to repair and save our Western societies.
“There is an epidemic of white police officers killing unarmed black men, we must block the puberty of children born in the wrong bodies to prevent them from killing themselves, the Russians control Trump through a sex blackmail operation, the Covid vaccine prevents infection, millions or billions will die from starvation and harsh weather from climate change, there’s no way a Covid virus could have escaped from a lab, mass migration improves societies with no trade-offs, it’s best for addicts if we give them hard drugs to use in special sites downtown, we need the government to fight misinformation online in order to save democracy, Biden is sharper than ever, Kamala is 100% prepared to be president, and anyone who disagrees is racist, sexist, and/or fascist.
While many Americans are increasingly and at least partially aware that all of the above are lies, we are still a long way from coming to grips with their enormity, their monstrous consequences, and the totalitarian ways in which the mainstream news media, many employers, and governments demanded that we believe them. Current and former heads of state, our most-trusted journalists, and full professors at Ivy League universities created and propagated those Big Lies, repeatedly, for years, even after they had been thoroughly debunked, sometimes within days or hours of them being made, by people who ruling elites then sought to bankrupt, shame, and ostracize.
There has not yet been a proper accounting of the very many abuses of power, including the Big Lies, by elected officials, the media, and other governing elites during the Woke Reign of Terror (2013 – 2024). That accounting will need not only to thoroughly debunk all of the major lies, it will also need to explore why elites created and perpetuated them, why so many people believed them, why they lasted for so long, and what can be learned from them, both separately and how they worked together as a whole, constituting the worldview of the people who run Western societies and nations. Historians, sociologists, psychologists and many others will, for centuries, study the Work Reign of Terror as a uniquely irrational and self-destructive period in America’s history. Hopefully, something good, including wisdom, courage, and improved self-governance, will come out of those studies and reflections.”
There are positive stories of people overcoming this toxic ideology. Let’s try and have more of these moments – the ones where we don’t destroy children’s futures in the name of the gender religion.
Observe one of the thought termination cliches of many progressives. They argue for ‘inclusivity’ but when faced with disagreement, the meaning of the term shifts to mean ‘inclusive of thoughts that only match my own”.
As often the case, the progressive individuals assumes that they have to moral high ground and can pejoratively label the person disagreeing with them – thus relieving them of the duty to charitably assess the argument put forth.
You don’t have to argue against bigots and ‘phobes’ of any stripe. Thus, no thought is required, only a false sense of moral superiority.
This is why need definitions that comport with reality. Sex is binary and immutable, your strong gender feels will never *ever* change that. If Lyft wanted to actually safely serve their female clientele they wouldn’t let delusional men onto the female driver list.
We all know that being woke requires you hand in your critical thinking card, because the ideology is circular and not internally consistent. But then there are those who through some strange series of events somehow think that being woke simply means becoming aware of injustice and its a good thing. This is an example of what the activists mean by being ‘woke’.
Being woke mean judging people inherently as members of superficial identity groups, then slotting them into a rubegoldberg-esque rubric of power/oppression ratings,and then judging their claim as to where they fall on this bullshit ‘matrix of oppression’. The more oppression factors you have been deemed to have the more troothiness your claim is.
Watch what happens though when you inadvertently break a trip wire and your ‘oppressed privilege rating’ isn’t high enough for the claim you make.
Man claiming to be a woman: NO PROBLEM.
WHITE Man claiming to be a woman and COLONIZING A JAPANESE name: ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS.
Utterly ridiculous.
Becoming famous for the wrong reasons.
Words are not violence. Naming reality is not violence. Weaponizing your mental illness in an attempt to coerce or silence others is an unhealthy narcissistic behaviour.
But wait, there is more. Did you need a template to respond to this overt emotional manipulation? Find it here and take some notes.
