From Steve Sailer:
“Wokeism is simply the ideological rationalization of white dispossession.”
Quite right. Also the preceding sentence in the article:
“White-run countries in Europe, North America, and the Antipodes are the best places in the world, so the rest of the world wants to take them away from whites.”
Let’s expand the thought a little:
Western culture is by far the greatest and most beneficial social system ever to be created for mankind, so let’s destroy it so we can all be equally miserable and impoverished.
Feel free to try to prove me (or Sailer) wrong.
wokeism = parasitism
Is there any value in a parasite?
Kind of and kind of not. At the textual level sure, that is the point and that is why a number of people (DiAngelo, Ibram Kendi, and a host of others) are jumping on the bandwagon.
But not really, because all of that is a pretext for the real point. Remember that CRT is subset of Cultural Marxism and like everything within the realm of Marxism it is intended to aid an abet the overthrow of Western norms and culture, but not really to achieve whatever their stated goals are. The point is that they end up in power, there is no other goal.
So sure, they say they want to fix the structural racism etc, but of course black and brown people in the West are against CRT in roughly similar numbers to whites. They want the power, that is what they think will get them that power. If five seconds from now they figure out that CRT is not helping them it will go away and they will deny they ever supported it (and the media will back them up.) But it will be replaced by some other issue that coincidentally requires the same solution, control of all aspects of our lives by academic technocrat Left. That is the goal, everything else is means.
It’s all part of that “Since I’m so smart, why aren’t I in charge?” syndrome. Also the “Socialism will work this time, if we only put the right people in charge. I volunteer to be one of those people” deal. As we saw in prior socialist revolutions, these were the first people put up against the wall and shot.
Probably the only useful thing Stalin ever did for Russia….
Sailer, and you, Kim, are both largely, but only partially correct:
From Sailer:
“White-run countries in Europe, North America, and the Antipodes are the best places in the world, so the rest of the world wants to take them away from whites.”
From you:
“Western culture is by far the greatest and most beneficial social system ever to be created for mankind, so let’s destroy it so we can all be equally miserable and impoverished.”
I have no doubt both statements are true, but also that they are incomplete; much of what is driving the actions of the usurpers is jealosy – they see how well stuff in “White World” works and they want that for themselves. That it works so well only because it is the white people operating within white people’s philosophical and psychological structure who designed and operate it is lost on them. They think that “it’s not fair” that white people have that and if they just get rid of the white people then they’ll have all the same benefits.
Needless to say, it ain’t gonna work that way. That they’re not bright enough to determine that by observing what happens in everyplace without the beneficial mass of white people it should be obvious that Heinlein’s comment about societies was right.
Also from Sailer:
“….the population of sub-Saharan Africa is exploding at a time when the will to defend the territories of the white world is cratering.”
True dat, but it ignores the massive purge that’s coming when the SHTF and economic and social structures collapse in the western world. A lot of it, maybe most of it, will be natural die-off due to shortages of food, medical supplies and treatment and contaminated water, some will be the fractional groups democrats have worked so hard to create over the last half century fighting each other for position, and some will be simple mass purges to reduce the dead weight negatively impacting the resurrection of civilization with functional societies; when you and yours need all the calories they can get and some are being consumed by not just the non-productive but those negatively impacting restoration of civilization the excess baggage will be culled without a moment’s hesitation.
Isn’t this just a bigger version of Mugabe and the white African?
jealousy, greed, sloth, envy, I really don’t care about the reason. The fact is that wokism is just another attack on Western Civilization by the have-nots and ne’er-do-wells. It’s far past time to take the red pill and resist them. BTW The Red Pill documentary is worth watching.
JQ
The Promise of Socialism (read Marxism in any flavor):
To absolutely guarantee equality of misery for all (except a chosen few elite kleptocrats and the armed forces that work for them)
This works until the system collapses completely due to lack of incentive and growth.
The barrel of a gun is incentive so long as people have the will to stay alive, that is to say at minimum enough food and some sort of abode and a glimmer of hope for the future.
When the state no longer is able to keep them alive and productive at some level above what is consumed, there will come a Ceausescu moment.
Part of what you are seeing is the implementation of the “Magic Dirt Theory”. From the outside, it looks like where the whites are located is a good place to be, since the whites are doing so well there. They are unable to process the idea that it’s the people doing it, not the location. To some extent, this can be laid to a lack of good schooling, but part of it can be attributed to a lack of a culture that nurtures a proper way of constructing a society. This also requires a good level of IQ. That is a given. Clearly doesn’t work without that.
Woke-ism is the growing frustration of the (mostly White) Progressive establishment that the actual Working Man won’t Do As He Is Told by his Betters (them). They are OUTRAGED that they, with their (largely useless) College Degrees clearly have less to do with making society actually, you know, WORK than your average plumber or HVAC tech.
We’ve seen this before. The fading Aristocracy of Europe just couldn’t STAND that the dirt-under-the-fingernails engineers and industrialists of the Industrial Revolution were getting the wealth and position that the Aristos considered THEIR birthright. Their sniveling was the root cause of the “The Industrial Revolution ruined everything” myth that we’ve been having stuffed down our throats ever since.
Nasty fact; the common folk before the Industrial Revolution were LESS educated, died younger, and ate about a thousand calories a day less then the ‘wretched poor’ of the Industrial cities…you just didn’t SEE them en mass. Yes, the Industrial poor were overworked, malnourished, and ignorant. Their immediate ancestors, living in the Pastoral Bliss (read Pastoral squalor) the Big Brains have been pushing on us ever since were worked to death, starving, and pig-ignorant.
