How Woke Works and Why it’s Wrong

I just watched a clear interview with Calvin Robinson by Dr. Philip Kiszely in the series 
“The War On Our History – A Cultural Revolution”.
You can find it at the end of this Post.

It does us all the great service of taking “Wokeism” apart
term by term, concept by concept, assumption by assumption and thus strips it to it alien corrosive core for all to see. 

The Kafka-esque ‘Critical Race Theory’, the inherently racist Creed of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement, is analysed to probe its rhetorical assumptions and false foundations. They are also laid bare.

The interview is fascinating and gives a quite shocking overview of the breadth and depth of the infiltration of hate based inherently racist blame culture into our education system, particularly the Universities, and the attempt to subvert any other arguments, views or opinions about our Cultural History.

Worth a watch whatever your politics , ethnicity or creed. 
In the end Wokeism is just another viewpoint, just an idealogical trip into a carefully constructed hall of distorting mirrors.
But changing the context of discourse in that way does not in any way change past, present or future cultural values or views. 
It just yields a mangled picture of reality
designed to prevent discussion and demand submission.

We see, today on March 23rd 2022, an active example of a similar hall of mirrors representing the Putinesque violation of the Sovereign Nation of Ukraine as if it were a ‘liberation’ of that country from a ‘neo-nazi domination’.  We may stand aside and scoff at the gullibility of the Russian population in believing what they are shown in that particular Kremlin constructed hall of mirrors.  But if that is only what they can see and hear then who can blame them for their distorted beliefs? For them it is ‘received truth’, their Government is God.

The Woke attempt at cultural mind control shares many similarities in the techniques being used in that other more violent demonstration of Cultural Domination using 21st Century weapons and Medieval Morals. The school yard bully magnified by the hall of mirrors.

The Liberal Elite need to be careful about what they wish for. Revolutions never benefit the people who instigate them.
As the BLM founders and Mr Putin will inevitably discover.
Bigger bullies are always lurking in the undergrowth.
Ultimately they will fail.

I’m reminded of the famous poem Ozymandias, written by Percy Shelley. It is about Pharaoh Rameses II who reigned 1279-1213 BCE. According to the Oxford English Dictioary, his statue was once 57 feet tall. A dedication to a fabulous and fabled Ruler …

“I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Oh, and here’s the interview … take heed, be aware
