While I have had many a rant in these communities about the corruption of the WOKE, the workings of the CABAL and the general decline of society and civilization, one of the defining differences between the WOKE and the AWARE is the attitude towards learning and personal growth. The WOKE already know all they need to know, they have been provided with their cultic interpretation of life and nothing need shake that. It is religious zealotry at its worse when such thoughts lead to an outward militancy against ones neighbors with a desire to impose the truth instead of trying to convince them with it. All of the worlds major religions have tried this, and it has lead to a lot of death and suffering in the name of one God or another. Christians and Jews in particular should be greatly embarrassed by this reality given the humble origins of their religions. Embarrassment needs to be converted to humble acknowledgment without being shackled to past sins. Acknowledge, makes amends were possible, grow beyond the failures of the past. Reasonable people can subscribe to such things. Lack of forgiveness for the past is a hallmark feature of the WOKE and their communist ideology. Imprison people by their past and never let them grow beyond it. Some people will never be more than oppressors and they should submit to the mob of WOKE as some small and insufficient gesture of penance.
Some people will never be convinced of facts, truths or hard data. It is beyond them. If you can recognize those hardened or simple minds, the sooner you can abandoned trying to dialogue with them and discern if they can be safely ignored or you need to protect yourself against them. Like all religious zealots, the WOKE are imprisoned and defined by their complete obsession with identity and self. they cannot relater to the world, they can only project their "key to understanding" all of this, and it is power over others. They embody the classic abuser cycle, they see themselves as victims of oppression either individually or share in the great victim spirit of real or imagined victims of the past. They in turn become the abusers they decry without ever seeing the connection. Past abuser were wrong, their abuse is corrective and right. All the best ideas have to be imposed because most of humanity is not as enlightened as them. All the best ideas have to be imposed because the current contenders for power won't do acceptable penance and contrition unless they are brought into a state of submission. All the best ideas have to be imposed because there isn't enough time to bring people up to speed in the final cure for humanity. It is a lot like the final solution but with pretty rainbows & chicks with dicks entertaining your children.
Too much navel grazing is a disease of the mind. If you constantly focus your life on your miserable self, you will develop disorders known and unknown. Sadly you will not seek therapy, but probably become a political activist who projects their self-inflicted state on the rest of us. One of the real kicks in the nads in dealing with the WOKE is that good souls can be somewhat sympathetic to the abuses of the past and want to make amends. Those kind (and naively stupid as is often the case) souls become allies and enablers of the Cult of Woke. Too much navel gazing ends the search to become more, to learn more, to grow beyond your current state of being. The restless state that is part and parcel of being human is numbed or distracted to death. In your search for meaning, answers or at least a few clues you are fed a stream of victimology and self-pitying bullshit that ruins lives. If you are a descendent of Whitelandia you cannot claim victimhood unless you are gay, trans or one of other countless genders, is Fat a gender now? Beware, Whitelandia is no longer just European. Jews, Asians and others are being added all the time when they don't buy into to the Cult.
Learn - it is one of the greatest things about being us. That we can read something from thousands of years ago and understand what they are trying to communicate is just short of magic. Unless you are a deconstructionist loser who thinks it is about imposing meaning rather than discerning it. They were woke before it was a cult. It is a loser philosophical school of thought that plays word games with meaning all the while seeking power. Yes, I know there is more to Derrida's philosophy than my slap-dash dismissal, but I don't have the desire or time to waste on him. Baack top learning and this morning's quote that fueled this commentary. Happy Monday & Blessed Easter my friends and thanks for reading along this far without falling asleep.
