Woke is a Joke

One of the more illogical manifestations of culturalMarxism in the form of political correctness is the concept of “wokeness.” In simple terms it refers to a subset of people, typically from entitled, privileged middle and upper middle-class backgrounds who maintain the posture of having all the “right” or “correct” views and beliefs regarding all issues of identity politics. The woke are new age puritanical identarians who cannot and will not accept that there exist others that disagree with them or have differing views than them. They practice this vicious form of political correctness to demand and defend group think based on immutable characteristics including but not limited to race, sex, gender and ethnicity – all being more important than the individual.

On the basic level, woke is pure folly. It covers supporting the belief that Tampons should be placed in men’s restrooms to believing that men can get pregnant. If you do not ascribe to such lunacy you are instantly a fascist, homophobe, sexist transgenderphobe that supports the white supremacy patriarchy sciences of biology, anatomy and physiology. If you are woke, you can’t eat meat, or if you do, it has to be free range, no antibiotic gently killed meat. Thus, bacon eating carnivores can never be woke. A perfect example of being woke is having white guilt such to the point you adopt two black babies and raise the 7-year-old black boy as a transgender girl – see Charlize Theron. Woke is a synonym for upside down, for facts and science is not as important as a person’s collective group feelings.

If one is to be honest and historically accurate, woke culture is the antithesis of the civil rights movement and its desire for equality of opportunity for all as equals based on the content of our character. Woke cats do not see it this way - they are a group, a race, a sexual orientation before an individual. They are actively seeking to undermine the civil rights progress of the past that ended segregation and discrimination due to race to treat all people the same for example in exchange to isolate and separate today because they want to feel that the world (especially America) is more racist today than in the 1950s and 1960s. For them, group affiliation and identity are more significant than what you think as an individual. In other words, your skin color and who you like to have sex with is more valuable than one’s character and uniqueness. Consequently, putting the group first means that one must speak or think the way the group desires or risk being attacked and punished.

To be accurate, woke social justice warriors are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, just try having a conversation or discussion with them. Regardless if it is abortion, biology as being the singular determinant of gender or what bathrooms a person should use, instead of citing evidence and defending or validating their position, they merely yell slurs: bigot, racist, fascist, alt-right, sexist, trandgenderphobe and Islamphobe are some of the most common. This is the easiest way for them to abstain from engaging in defending their positions.

If these do not work, their ‘they know better than anyone else’ snobbery comes out. This is one method employed that allows them to justify looking down on individuals with views different from theirs while at the same time allowing them to play the victim. Look at the period after President Trump came to office.  They to this day describe Trump voters and supporters in condescending terms such as deplorable, dumb people too stupid to understand politics or know what they are voting for because they live in fly-over country and are uneducated (or at least not as educated as me). This is a core characteristic of the self-proclaimed woke because it provides them with a synthetic justification to look down upon and lecture the masses. More importantly, it artificially rationalizes their authoritarian and entitled belief that they are right on and about all things and that by default this corroborates their intolerance of people that have differing views and positions (if you disagree you must be silenced).

In the woke realm of the universe, men can only write on and talk about male issues, blacks can only write in black spaces, gays cannot paint images of heterosexual sex acts and whites cannot have dreadlocks.  This is cultural appropriation in the new vernacular but by the same definition, it is reminiscent of cultural purity we saw when Asians could not own land, interrace marriage was prohibited and blacks and whites had separate water fountains and schools.  This woke behavior ironically is anti Brown V. Board of Education and Loving v. Virginia and pro Dred Scottv. Stanford, and Plessy v. Ferguson. It is as if woke people are completely thoughtless and lack real world interaction to the point that they do not understand what they are doing, or that they intentionally want to roll back the hand of time and undo all the gains approaching equality we have had as a nation over the past decades.

The US is possibly in for a bleak future if people are so afraid that they inhibit reasonable discussion because one party is so isolated in being holier than though in bubble-wrapped urban elite enclaves that they cannot engage others with ideas, that there only course of action is to repeat bland Borg-like slogans reminiscent of Mussolini’s Italy and brained-washed followers of Jim Jones. This is the least common dominator of being woke for the progressive elite and over-educated fake oppressed modern left. When all is reduced to a battle between privilege and victimhood, eventually everyone becomes a victim and merit and hard work becomes obsolete. Being woke is not only irrational and untenable, it will just result in an adult population incapable of dealing with reality and preferring to live in a world of perpetual make-believe that asserts one has a right not to be offended or encounter thoughts they dislike.

Progressive Double Standards Reveal Their True Color

In its insatiable desire to be the wokest in the moment, the progressive left has morphed into a combination of ‘whitey” and the brain and the PC principle of South Park. It is so common place now that they don’t realize how through their double standards that they are revealing their true colors. Imagine for example if a white person said the following:  "This is not going to be the country of [Black] people.” Would this be acceptable? Would this be considered racist or xenophobic? It sure it would be. However, this was not said by a white person, but rather an immigrant refuge named Ilhan Omar and instead of black she used the word white.  Maybe it is no big deal to many but for me, as a black man tired of bigotry and racism regardless of its source, it is a major concern. I hate stereotypes and the collective assignment of categorization over the individual. But this is typical of the virtue signaling, divide and conquer political approach of the left in the United States of America presently. It is as if this is the only thing they can think of or concern themselves with.

As a man born in the segregated South, I can honestly say racism isn’t as bad as many proclaim nor is it as institutional as many desires to believe. If such was the case, all races would be subjugated via the existence of the white Eurocentric political and power structure singularly, but they are not. Take descendants of Asia born in the U.S. including but not limited to Koreans, Indians, Chinese, Koreans and the Japanese.  They too have a history somewhat similar but not the same as slavery. The Japanese could not buy land in in many states and were even interned. The same can be said for the Chinese at the turn of the century. However, these groups do way better in economic and educational outcomes that whites or blacks. Racism would not allow such an outcome on behalf of white benefit if it was a true factor in present day outcomes related to systemic power and oppression. What can be stated is that in these groups, out of wedlock birth is lower and the value of education is higher, as it was for blacks after slavery and during segregation.

Being woke leads to such irrational and spurious conclusions when made in the absence of evidence and data. We see the same when the left harps on Islamophobia and gay rights. On the one had you say to state anything negative about radical Islamic fundamentalist is Islamophobic and xenophobic, yet you paint all white people collectively for the sins of their pigmentation and history and all blacks as being so dumb that we cannot succeed in America because we are black. At the same time with respect to Islamic fundamentalist, claim to be in support of gay rights while ignoring that in Islam being gay is punishable by death historically and presently. Just last week, the Saudi government executed 37 men including many for alleged homosexual acts. But to say this fact is wrong and is considered blatant islamophobia when facts outline this is evident.

Even noting the fact that Ilhan Omar gave a speech at a fundraising event with Hassan Shibly, who is on record for extreme anti-Semitic views against Jews and is the lawyer for Hoda Muthana, a New Jersey–born woman who married an ISIS fighter and in writing has proclaimed her adherence to the Islamic State, is an attack on all Muslims albeit specific individuals are named. This is the issue democrats will have to address - how their double standards and inconsistent logic show that they are not truly concerned about the issues of identity they proclaim to signal support for.

Do not think I am picking on Omar because I am not. Let us take Elizabeth Warren to task equally. The announced Democrat presidential candidate recently penned and op-ed in which she too proclaimed and outlined a serious issue in existence – black female mortality. However, her rationale for the outcome in her view was racism without evidence. Warren promulgated that the reason that “Black women are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes” was mainly due to Racism. My query was why not sexism? American Medical Association data show that more than 85 percent of obstetricians and gynecologists are women. Moreover, data indicates that “ob-gyns had the highest proportion of underrepresented minorities (combined, 18.4%), especially black (11.1%) and Hispanic (6.7%) physicians” and that “underrepresented minority ob-gyns were more likely than white or Asians to practice in federally funded underserved areas or where poverty levels were high. In fact, among adult medical specialists, greater racial and ethnic diversity is found among obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns).” The more astonishing fact is that black women are more than 10 times more likely to have a black female ob-gyn than a white one, 18 more times than having a white male one. Again, not supported by fact or math.

The double standards continue with regards to other issues equally. On immigration for example, progressives appear to care more about illegal migrants than homeless and poor minorities born in America. It is as if they want an immigration policy for immigrants first versus one that benefits U.S. citizens first. They do this disingenuously also by conflating legal immigration with illegal immigration. They run cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles which are reflective of their policies that result in mass homelessness, failing government public schools and streets littered with syringes and feces.

Another example is abortion. Progressives openly claim to be the party of science but consider a baby in the womb a clump of cells (which anatomy, biology and even ultra-sounds refute) when they are actual human beings. Just this week, an Alabama democrat state lawmaker defended abortion by saying "Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or kill them later." This is a pervasive view for these same people advocate for gun control because guns kill but since Roe V. Wade, there have been about 1.5 million deaths because of guns but 60 million due to abortion. But if you support any views in the opposite of liberals, they attempt to silence you and deplatform you.  I know, I have been permanently banned from twitter.

I would hope that facts would be more valuable than the incessant claims of racism that progressives incessantly spew. Sure, racism exist, and it will always exist, but it is not as bad as the left projects. Fact is you will never ever be able to get rid of all racism or individual racist beliefs no more than you can eliminate all murder. This quest for eutopia is delusional and sociopathic. I just want to be treated as a unique individual with my own personal agency, not as a group, for I am an individual first rather than a part of a monolith.

Social Justice: Scientific Racism by Another Name

By practice I am an infectious disease scientist and a behavioral epidemiologist.  As a result, I am well read (or at least trying to become) in the behavioral sciences, one area of which I have a suitable interest is in the history of the behavioral sciences with respect to racism. This has become more of an interest currently in the age of social justice. To put it succinctly, I consider modern social justice warriors to be reinvigorating an age I considered long past and dead, the age of scientific racism.

Scientific racism as a school of thought, practice and research advances the supposition that certain groups, particularly Blacks, are different and less intelligent when compared to other racial ethnic groups especially Whites, although immutable, that these differences are unchangeable, innate, genetic and will exist regardless of any other actions or events. It is evident that these beliefs are reemerging in the class of progressives, in specific the younger generation. I say this because what is visible, is that claims of truth, not based on fact, are leading to behaviors and policy that are following the guidance of what we saw in the scientific racism and eugenic communities of decades prior. If one proclaims that they are Black and therefore I will always be this or that or oppressed, poor, economically disadvantaged and a victim, or that you are White and you will always be this or that, smart, wealthy and privileged based on characteristics one cannot change, you are essentially arguing the same logic that scientific racist and eugenicist did scores of years prior.

It may not be obvious at first, but this is a dangerous supposition for this form of reductionism occurs because people in the delusion that they are doing good, employ race to exact and refer to the distribution of a character of an individual based on the group as a collective.  In this model there is no room for individual differences and even worse, personal responsibility. In addition, it merges the unfitness of social outcomes with biological outcomes, which scientifically are mutually exclusive.

More than 70 years ago, these same principles were being touted as standard settled science. Among example eugenicist, races were observed in hierarchies and divided into distinct groups such as the Nordic and Mediterranean Europeans to which social characteristics were ascribed. Social justice warriors of today continue these same practices and divide or group people based on race and consequently ascribe social characteristics to said groups based on skin pigmentation singularly. Strange seeing that if one truly desired to combat racism, maintaining artificial collective difference of a group based on skin color over the uniqueness of the individual is not the most advantageous way to go about such. Instead it only extubates the existence of racial dogma, albeit unverified scientifically to exist, that furthers dived people based on race and reduces the opportunity for open discussion about race.

It is as if proponents of social justice and identity politics do not see or know that they are advancing the contemporary notion of race born out of Darwinism, David Hume, Sir Francis Galton, Johann Blumenbach and Carl Linnaeus. They either are unaware or do not notice that they are presenting a social definition on presumed cultural and physical differences of which are the same ones that laid the foundation for how we understand race and racism presently.

Unfortunately, this ambiguity is not only unscientific and not empirical but unsafe. It is this type of thinking that justified the oppression Blacks, colonization, slavery and imperialism based on skin color. It led to Margret Sanger and planned parenthood and the belief that Blacks should be exterminated. It led to Nazi Germany carrying out of eugenics programs which resulted in the extermination of millions of Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, blacks and the sterilization of tens of thousands of others.

These social justice warriors do not see how their worship of identity politics only serves to venerate white supremacy and validate acceptable yet unique cultural and behavioral characteristics unrelated to biological determinism. Sadly, they continue to enact nonsensical behavior in the name of justice when what they spew only inoculates racial injustice.

Trump’s New Campaign Manager is the Democrats

The progressive liberal democratic Russiangate narrative is like the creature from the Black Lagoon and the Blob mixed together. It continues to evolve into a different mutant beast from day to day. It will mutate and alter as the Democrats in Congress see fit but no matter what, it will not go away for a long time. As it goes on, the only reality is that we will continue to hear the left scream RUSSIA and RUSSAIN COLLUSION. Why do we know this? Because Cummings, Nadler and Schiff all are on record basically saying that Trump will be under investigation for the duration of his presidency, with or without evidence. The scorched earth approach of the house is likely to turn up something for randomization shows that something is likely to stick some where when you throw stuff all around the room.

I find it comical that Democrats for example are still making a big fuss about Trump’s tax returns as if Putin has sent him a 1099-MISC tax form not to mention that US Tax returns are just digests of a person's wages and deductions. There is no special line in them requesting all income from black people, women, Asians or Russians for that matter seeing that a personal tax return is not a comprehensive leger of monetary transactions. Maybe the House Democrats do expect or think that Putin or the KBG will be sending Trump a 1099-MISC, but I doubt it.

Democrats as many Americans expect Trump not to be impeached for collusion with Russia nor should he. If you want to keep it one hundred, Trump’s true crime was running for President and beating Hillary fair and square after the establishment and its media had prognosticated that he would not and that a Trump victory was impossible. Democrats will never man-up and admit this because they are too stupid. Think about it, only an idiot blames one factor or individual for everything that is wrong all the time incessantly especially as it pertains to political outcomes. Now there is nothing wrong with Democrats blaming Russia and maybe there could be some good too come of it. However, if it is just to get Trump because one is a sore loser, the price to pay maybe hell.

Possibly some good albeit unintentional, could come from this as I said. Maybe by investigating everything Trump ever did could lead to something positive like better enforcement of financial laws & regulations, maybe even lead us to finally address the criminal class on Wall Street. I do not think that I am the only one that think that it is hypocritical to go after and imprison Paul Manafort and none of the big wigs that caused the financial crisis of 2007-08 or the Podesta brothers. To keep it real, Manafort’s only crime was working for a victorious Trump's campaign. But if nothing sticks, as I said prior, there will be hell to pay from the nearly 63 million people who voted for Trump, including Reagan Democrats (Democrats that voted for Obama at least once) and Independents. This will only reinforce the narrative that Democrats are stepping on each other, using investigations, many of which are duplicitous, and their new power in the House to fish for any dirt they can find in Trump's past, present and future (2020 campaign). Many, even some never Trumper’s will begin to ask simple questions because it really appears that the feelings of Democrats are presented to take precedence over their vote simply because some people don’t like Trump plane and simple. Causing personal discomfort and having one’s feelings hurt are not grounds to remove or impeach a sitting president. It is as if as I presented before, Trump’s actual crime is having the impudence of running for president and winning.

But such is the nature of the fickle, take Wikileaks for example. A lot of Hillary supporters, to this day, attribute culpability to Wikileaks for her loss. Now they have curved Manning for refusing to testify against Wikileaks.  This democratic theater will only further divide the nation and reflects a precursor to totalitarian rule, since they really do not care about the country rather unfettered power and control. All and all, this manufactured confusion staged by the Democrats' is grotesquely irrational and reprehensible – and all due to their maniacal preoccupation to unseat and destroy Trump.

All of this should have been expected. Not only is the Democratic party leadership hellbent on impeachment they remain steady as she goes, which means they do not have to focus on offering telling policy that would benefit all citizens in general but rather will result in further division because it enables them to exhaust all their energy on the exploitation of identity politics.  Moreover, it sends a more draconian message – don’t fck with the establishment or we will throw the legal books at you. This is what is meant by weaponizing politics and the legal system. And why do we have all of this? Because Hillary Clinton’s willy nilly proposing collusion between Trump and Russia (Putin). Now, however it is falling apart and all the same Democrats saying wait for the findings of the Mueller report are pulling full steam ahead to show how mad and how much they hate Trump, which means they require another lame excuse to blame Trump for Hillary losing and because the Mueller report most likely will not validate their Russian conspiracy claims. LMBAO.

To be sincere, I want all this Russian shi# to be over but unfortunately, proponents of this conspiracy are too invested psychologically in this surrealism to get over it, even if the Mueller reports demonstrates there was no collusion, they will be like the cats that say Tupac and Elvis are still alive. They (especially the predominantly left-leaning US media) will be the modern day equals to Tiberius Gracchus (At least what I understand from reading Plutarch) and other Roman emperors who used lese-majesty laws to go against Octavius and other opponents, including senators.

I’m just saying this Russian ish is foul, phony and unproductive and only an idiot can accept such as true given the cats promulgating such in the past have interfered in elections for decades around the globe inclusive even of murdering elected leaders. It took almost a decade for the US to get out of the McCarthy era, but 2019 cats too emotional, poorly read, and woke to get where I’m coming from. Funny to me because the Democrats do not see, with this Russina stuff, they are just reaassuring President Trump's re-election.
