This was a thought provoking article.
RAMZPAUL predicted the death of Wokeism.
As far back as October 2019, I predicted the Wokelash and the fallout in the Biden presidency in the 2020s. I also predicted that Trump would lose the 2020 election.
“The Democrats will return to power in the 2020s, but will preside over an America that is even more intensely polarized and is rapidly balkanizing due to their narrative and electoral strategy. The backlash against Barack Obama will also pale in comparison to the wokelash against the Biden, Sanders or Warren presidency. The Wokelash and the collapse of Conservatism, Inc. will drive millions of disaffected, alienated White Americans into the “far right.”
It is true though.
Jonathan Chait is correct that Wokeism has faded.
In retrospect, we have been through a decade of leftwing social movements that were driven by viral hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo and #handsupdontshoot. Then it stopped.
“A decade ago, cultural norms in elite American institutions took a sharply illiberal turn. Professors would get disciplined, journalists fired, ordinary people harassed by social-media mobs, over some decontextualized phrase or weaponized misunderstanding. Every so often, I would write about these events or the debates that they set off.
But I haven’t written about this phenomenon in a long time, and I recently realized why: because it isn’t happening any more. Left-wing outrage mobs might still form here or there, but liberal America has built up enough antibodies that they no longer have much effect. My old articles now feel like dispatches from a distant era.
The beginning and end of any cultural moment is difficult to pin down. But the period of left-wing illiberalism that began about a decade ago seems to have drawn to a close. None of the terms or habits will disappear completely; after all, anti-Communist paranoia continued to circulate on the right for decades even after the era of McCarthyism ended in 1954. Nonetheless, the hallmarks of this latest period—the social-media mobbings, the whispered conversations among liberal onlookers too frightened to object—have disappeared from everyday life. The era lasted almost exactly 10 years. The final cause of death was the reelection of Donald Trump. …”
It occurs to me now that my biggest 2025 prediction has already come true.
“Behind the noise of Trump’s second term, this trend of the government, culture and economy being captured by disruptive tech barons with enormous fortunes and grand designs – Elon wants to go Mars, destroy the woke virus, others want to harness the power of AI and robots – will be the signal. Jews are on the way down. These people are on the way up. We will look back on the ADL’s failed effort to choke X of advertiser revenue as a milestone in this power shift. …”
The cancel culture mobs stopped because Elon bought Twitter in 2022, turned it into X, changed the algorithm and got rid of the trending hashtags that the Left was using to whip up mobs to go after people. He took their favorite weapon away from them and turned it against them.
Note: In the Gilded Age, Americans got fed up with an earlier iteration of Wokeism that prevailed during Reconstruction. The term “race crank” was coined and was used to shutdown people who were obsessed with race. Dismissing activists as “woke” has the same function in this new era.
Jews will need whites to happily join up to fight fit Zionist wars.
I think more and more whites are starting to catch on to it. As I mentioned on a earlier thread, the high-water mark of the whole retarded Christian Zionists heresy was about 20 years ago. With Doug Wilson’ self-immolation and the whole sudden abrupt 180 done by gaslight media on Jolani the ISIS head-chopper – now a ‘cool’ kindler-gentler head-chopper who dresses to look like a darker version of shitlib whores (all 57 genders) tingle-toy of Zelensky – Uncle Schmuel’s sale is getting a bit stale with the younger whites. Yes it all shifts too slowly for my taste but I do sense some movement away from buying into the racket.
“I think more and more whites are starting to catch on to it…”
they are ? In what way have the Jews been impeded? They’re moving forward in the middle east, Iran is now threated by us, cell phones are tapped, etc., etc. If this winning I’d hate to be losing.

@Captain,
I think wokeism is the best thing to happen to the US military.
I hope diversity continues to be their strength. 😉
I find it curious that Lothrop Stoddard got a mention in the Great Gatsby but when the most recent movie was made Stoddard becomes Goddard in other that the viewers would not look him up.
It appears Whitelash may do away with Wokelash. (Whitelash was a term of contempt Van Jones used to denigrate White middle and working class people in red state America who voted for Trump.)
For the record, Whitelash, “Goddard” was what Stoddard was called in every Great Gatsby edition I’ve encountered. The name of Stoddard’s book, too, is altered, from “The Rising Tide of Color against White World-Supremacy” to “The Rise of the Coloured Empires.”
From a footnote, I think, in the first Gatsby I ever read, I have the impression that that’s how it was, from the novel’s first edition. Though I’ve always thought that Fitzgerald made the changes for the sake of the fiction, it’s possible, I suppose, that Tom Buchanan, the character who refers to “Goddard,” is supposed to be erring, as to the name of the author and book he’s mentioning. That seems to be the view expressed at https://www.americanheritage.com/man-stoddard —but it seems off to me. Fictionalizing Stoddard and his book seems to me more like something that F. Scott Fitzgerald would have done. It’s possible, too, I suppose that there were legal considerations.
If you’d like to read the passage, it’s in Gatsby’s Chapter I, which is at the following …
https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/64317/pg64317-images.html#chapter-1
The paragraph is this …
“Civilization’s going to pieces,” broke out Tom violently. “I’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. Have you read The Rise of the Coloured Empires by this man Goddard?”
Stoddard’s book is at the following …
https://books.google.com/books?id=Nv7TeKoQuRYC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false
Stoddard’s book was under copyright at the time and Fitzgerald’s publishers might have been shy about using the author’s name and actual title. That’s more of an occam’s butterknife explanation. Stoddard’s book sold very well back in its day.
Yes, something like that is what I had in mind by “legal considerations,” Exalted. At the same time, as I also said, a fictionalizing seems consistent with Fitzgerald’s approach. “West Egg” and “East Egg” are, of course, not the actual names of Long Island locations; but on the basis of Fitzgerald’s biography, we can guess what actual locations he half-had in mind. The same may be said of “Meyer Wolfshiem” (unusual spelling), the character who is a sort of fictional version of Arnold Rothstein. Actual locations do, indeed, show up—Central Park, the Plaza Hotel, the Queensboro Bridge—but the overall effect is dreamy.
For whatever it might be worth, Exalted, I’ll post this addendum, of which I became aware today (December 29): *Gatsby*, Stoddard’s book, and, too, Madison Grant’s *The Passing of the White Race* were all published by Scribner’s, all in the 1920s, of course. Supposedly, they had the same editor (Maxwell Perkins), though I don’t know how that could be confirmed.
PS Have just now searched, at Google Books, what appears to be Gatsby’s original edition, in which, yes, it’s “Goddard,” not Stoddard. “Wolfsheim” is spelled as I’d expect it to be, with “eim” at the end. Don’t know why it’s ended with “iem” in some transcriptions I’ve seen.
Oops—meant *The Passing of the Great Race,* not *the white race*.
In the novel he is introduced as “this man Goddard.”
And that’s a good news, keep it so.
Just goes to show how the GOOZE have disrupted and manipulated American society from our very beginnings.
The ADL still has overwhelming power to censor and destroy anyone who speaks out against the jews, mentioning a few twitter users is not the norm but an insignificant exception. Cancel culture ultimately has its origins to shut down anyone who speaks out against the jew (not blacks), letting a few kosher approved patriotards say things now is because Israel requires it.
yep.

But woke is not entirely defeated
Cancel culture is dead, except for the antisemitism bills that Trump plans to sign that will make it illegal to criticize Israel and allow cops to rape teenage White girls for supporting Palestine. But you don’t want to talk about that.
“white privilege is the problem”…….says leftist whites with more privilege than working class whites.
Woke is largely dead, at least for now, but white and Christian nationalism, traditional conservatism and southern secessionism are even deader, way deader.
Civic nationalism is as far as it goes in the Anglosphere and western Europe.
Legal mass migration gets a pass from civic nationalists like Trump, Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni and so on.
Civic nationalists feign to care about illegal migration, but so long as illegals are working and not committing felonies, the vast majority will be tolerated, for the cheap labor.
And the cartels who’re needed to sell fentanyl to the homeless, to clean the streets, so long as the cartels keep a relatively low profile and pay their dues to the American oligarchs, they’ll get a pass too.
Nothing will be done to fix the housing crisis, not by liberals nor conservatives.
Its not broken if you own real estate in nice places, the value of your home(s) is going up.
Oh, and Jews are white now, in mainstream conservatism.
Jewish nationalism is the closest conservatives will get to white nationalism in the Anglosphere.
Millions of conservatards will live out their dreams of a white ethnostate through Jews.
White and Christian nationalism may still have a shot in southern and eastern Europe, but it’s dead here.
Trumpism killed woke, people of all races not just whites had enough of woke, of misandry, of trans, but Trumpism also dashed any hopes of having a white ethnostate in the west.
A bit of civic nationalism, some protectionism is as far as it goes, and the vast majority of people, nonwhite and white are (relatively) content with that.
I mean really white and Christian nationalism have been effectively dead for generations, they were just props/reanimated corpses conservatard inc used to get people excited about tax cuts and imperialism.
*Regressive* tax cuts, that is.
