The Marching Woke vs. The Backpedaling Sleepers
Woke activists are currently the Left's cultural stormtroopers. They are practically unopposed because we live in post-Christian, post-Truth, post-Constitutional American times. These rainbow-haired, Gaia-worshipping, gender-confused, truth-denying, race-baiters are the blind leading the blind seething collective. When not active they are incubating like terrorist cells, in the HR departments, faculties of academia, HOAs, and newsrooms down to delivery drivers. This brood is being nurtured by academia, movies, video games, and celebrity activists. They were raised on despair, self-hatred, and loss of meaning which a post-modern culture provides in heaps of emptiness. When hatched they'll be ready to do the bidding of Democrats, (Deep State/Shadow Government) when the day comes and exact revenge for all their depression and illusions.
They are mindless, crying, grievance-seekers scavenging for attention and striving to be offended. They’ve weaponized their tears and outrage to weigh on your indiscriminate, undiscerning soul. These morons have been crafted by negligence, by lies not love. They embrace their victimhood because it gives them status and prestige in the eyes of naive and soft-headed people that dominate our world - to the Deep State, the Woke are simply useful idiots.
When this seething mob is fully empowered and unleashed their conditioning will trigger enthusiastic and self-righteous vengeance. When the time comes, as it did with Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge, they will feel completely justified in “cleansing” the bewildered masses of people whom they’ve been miseducated to believe caused the suffering the marching Woke strive to correct.
Their "Final Solution" will secure the march to Paradise that lies (always) just over the horizon; a paradise they can't define except with sweet-sounding slogans that intoxicate their misguided minds like "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."
Don't say, “It can’t happen here.” That mindset virtually guarantees that it will happen here. It probably will. A victory for these Cultural / neo-Marxists is inevitable because they have all the societal high ground now and they’ve dominated our culture for decades.
Why is their victory inevitable? Because the institutions like the Family and the Church that were underpinning the shared values that made this nation strong are decaying. Strong families and Christian fellowship are kryptonite to Marxism. The Communists that started the Frankfurt School here in America realized this and that is why they waged philosophical and spiritual war on those foundational things for decades. They’ve been building a chain of victories now for nearly a century. Broken families and the splitting and emptying of churches are gaping, bleeding wounds in the soul of America.
Because we can't fall back on that enduring love and fellowship that ignites those foundational virtues and provides ongoing fuel for the fire of freedom, we are defenseless. That is why so many people that need to stand strong are backpedaling. The belief in Truth has ebbed away. They have no conviction for the fight. Many don’t even see the crisis or barely sense the trimmers because of their normalcy bias. Their bias blinds them and guides them because they don’t even look for the Truth that they could tap into. The default setting of normalcy bias takes over because they're under the illusion that things will simmer down. Many of those who do feel the trimmers wave their "Don't Tread On Me" flags like it's a magic wand.
It won't do us any good to "circle the wagons" because we have no ammo, no fortitude that is foundational to an ethical and strong culture.
It is beyond urgent that we need a revival but a crucial part of those people needed are still sleepwalking through the halls of their single-family and/or non-custodial parents’ homes arranging visitation with their kids and ex-spouses while the churches are going Woke and pulpits are tickling ears. “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold…” as Yeat’s poem warns. Well, things are falling apart! They don't seem to be waking up and they seem happy in their slumber as they dream of the cavalry coming to rescue them.
