Why do so many people, well, globo-liberals and fake leftists mostly, believe in such positively *crazy* things? There are many possible explanations, the most obvious being that they really are stark raving mad, and that this is somehow connected to the decline of the West, which I suppose drives the ex-privileged layers into a frenzy. However, there is another possible explanation which I (strangely enough) haven´t considered before (perhaps because I´m a "rational Swede" and have an "intellectual" side).
They don´t believe a word of it, stupid.
I think it was Tim Pool, or somebody on his podcast, who half-jokingly half-seriously suggested that more conservatives than liberals believe in the Woke ideology. That is, conservatives assume that the liberals actually believe Woke ideology, while liberals know nobody really does. But if Wokeness isn´t about belief in certain ideological propositions, what is it about then? The answer is simple: in-group identity, social control and power. Neither more nor less. The Wokeness are the shibboleths worn by the people initiated into the club, signalling that they are part of the elect clique. That is *all* it is. Full stop. Period. End of story.
This neatly explains why the Narrative changes every other week or so - only the initiated and "educated" can keep up with the constantly changing definitions of Woke, and it also allows for some circulation within the clique, as old members who can´t quite catch up are cancelled, while new and younger social climbers get on board. It also explains why certain operators always seem to survive, despite being extremely "problematic", such as the show "The Young Turks" (TYT). Social control *over the clique´s own followers* is another important function of the ever-shifting narrative. Cult leaders often maintain control over their victims by being unpredictable - so do abusive husbands. Same thing here. Nobody is safe. The entire "how many fingers, Winston" 1984 thing is also part of this picture, since a person who is forced to grovel and self-denigrate to get access to the clique, is presumably easier to blackmail.
It´s interesting to note that according to postmodern philosophy, objective truth doesn´t exist. Everything is just a narrative-driven rhetorical power game. Note how the postmodernists (usually fake leftists) are projecting *their own strategy* onto their opponents, and indeed reality at large!
Certain consequences seem to follow from the above...
The most obvious is that it´s useless to try to argue the ideological propositions ostensibly making up Wokeness. For instance to lecture with a straight face on the non-existence of 71 genders. Nobody really believes there are 71 genders anyway. From this further follows that you can´t be too nice when handling these people. Nice entails rationality, that you somehow assume *they* are rational and can be reasoned with on an intellectual level. Which they obviously can´t. Ridicule, laughter, wide public exposure of the obviously absurd Woke ideas, exposés of the hypocrisy of individual SJWs, human interest stories about victims of Wokeness, or cancellations and purges for the hell of it, seem to be the way to go.
Yes, I know. Some of you knew this already. Now, I know it too. Once you see it, you can´t unsee it...
Fully agree. Never be nice to woketards. Ridicule and humiliate their ideas at every opportunity.
