Wokeness is an emerging progressive religion that is increasingly trendy in the media which holds that whiteness is the new Original Sin. It is completely opposed to the “savior theology” of Christianity and is entirely focused on anti-whiteness and fomenting racial hatred in this world.
Note: There are woke people of all races like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.
Shermer. Sounds Irish.
The other guy is definitely Irish with a name like McWhorter.
We should hear him out. I bet he has our interests in mind.
“Neoracists Posing As Antiracists & Their Threat to Progressive America ”
Malcolm X put his finger on it when, 65 years ago, he said, ‘Liberals are dangeours and deceitful’.
Mr X also said, ‘“The White Liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the Black Man.’
I can find some common ground with Kendi in that secular America tends to mystify success and personalize failure in a way that is more Protestant than even Protestantism. However, liberation theology around the world is common among peoples with high in-group preference. It will never catch on among Europeans as a form of life.
Think of the Parable of the Two Sons in Matthew 21:28-32. Is it better to contradict your father, then privately repent and do as he asked? Or is it better to agree with your father to let him save face, and then do otherwise? Whites are more likely to agree with the first option; missionaries have found that non-whites often think the second option is better. That’s individualism in a nutshell.
We must racially understand ourselves as Europeans. Unlike other groups, whites are more likely to feel guilt than shame; cognitively this translates into low in-group preference/high universalism. One needs to feel guilt in order to implement an abstract rule; trust is then built by matching words and actions.
Our stories are littered with shrewd, crafty, unscrupulous individuals like Ulysses and Loki; sometimes imagination may radically outstrip reality like a Quixote or a Prometheus or a Frankenstein. What happens when reality doesn’t meet individual expectations? It isn’t an accident that Satan makes an appearance so often in European literature — Goethe’s Faust, Dante’s Divine Comedy, Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, Milton’s Paradise Lost, The Master and Margarita… When whites go wrong, it often involves perversity and spite, states of being that just leave other racial groups mostly confused. That’s why white salvation has been individual, going all the way back to Socrates and Christ. Otherwise a wayward person is a danger to himself and others, seeking revenge on the universe. Know thyself!
You should expand this into a longer essay. There’s several profound observations. Basically BLM is designed to zero in on general guilty feelings.
“Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?”
Jeremiah 2:21
“”…There are woke people of all races…”””
Absolutely. Communism is mental disease. They have also communists like they have heart attacks, cancer and other diseases.
Good thing is that they have also anti communists. We see this now in the Middle East where Syrian and Iraqi army went after their liberals, Egypt hanging communists by hundreds.
This is the reason why our side shall never push for race war. The Third World war will be all over the planet between communists and anti communists and absolute majority of our possible allies are not white.
Our side shall not make Hitler mistake who managed to piss off every possible ally he could have and ended up fighting with entire world.
The root causes of racism is the murder of the innocent Christ and the Jews refusal to admit their wrong and ask God for forgiveness.
“Let his blood be on us and our children.” The words haunt and torment the Jew maladjusted mind more now than first spoken.
Anti-White hatred going into overdrive as they near the finish line and think they’re invincible. They forget that presumption can be fatal.
I hope I’m still around if and when the pendulum swings back the other way.
It’s pretty shocking that these woke brats taking over don’t even promote a meritocracy anymore. Pretty much everything they are doing is producing a society that is not Darwinianly fit for survival.
