The phrase “Woke Right” arrived almost overnight...
James Lindsay traces the history of “woke” as a mindset rather than a policy list. For him, “woke” is a way of seeing the world through a single lens of power and grievance. It falsely elevates politics to a pseudo-theology—that of a cosmic struggle between oppressors and oppressed. It is inspired by resentment, which inevitably fosters online mobs, practices cancel culture, and treats ideological opponents as heretics who must be hunted down rather than debated.
Lindsay argues that a similar pattern has emerged on parts of the Right. He points to Groypers and white identitarians who imitate the Left’s tactics through inverted identity politics and online transgression.
Lindsay’s analysis becomes especially valuable in his distinction between types of speech about Israel and Jews.
He differentiates criticism of Israel as a state, criticism of individual Jews, debates about Zionism as a political project, and the far more serious phenomenon he calls true anti-Semitism, which he defines as the conspiracy theory that Jews secretly control world events. “Anti-Israel criticism,” he notes, is legitimate since “everybody should be critical of every state,” while “anti-Jew” refers to personal prejudice. Only the conspiratorial claim that “the Jews control everything,” as he puts it, belongs under the label anti-Semitism.
Lindsay discusses these points in more depth with Jordan Peterson, where they examined the psychological traits that animate both the Woke Left and its imitators on the Right. They noted that the problem is not ideological disagreement but a style of engagement rooted in resentment, purity spirals, and an inability to tolerate ambiguity. He stresses that ordinary conservative critics of foreign policy are not “Woke Right” but that the label applies to those who weaponize identity and engage in mob tactics.

I don’t see much to criticize in Huckabee. A couple comments awhile back yes. But they stood out as inconsistent with his generally positive tenor.
Perhaps we just don’t agree about him
As for the situation in the ground,
It’s called the consequences of launching mass-murder attacks on your neighbors. We CELEBRATE V-E and V-J day.
Our media was full
Of adoration for our defeat of the Axis powers —- abd yes, we bombed the H3ll out of memory German cities — far beyond any direct military necessity—- and of course we nuked two major Japanese cities right down to the burning ground. And threatened to do the same to Tokyo.
The IDF gave advance warnings for any “innocent people” to move to designated safe areas, areas protected by the defense forces. USA did not generally do this in any of our wars. Israel donated and trucked in thousands of tonnes of free food and civilian commodities to the enemy population. USA never did this during hostilities (and the Marshall plan didn’t happen until after Germany surrendered).
It is at least a double- standard, basically not honest or fair to criticize IDF —- and at least some of the (mostly communist or neoNazi or “progressive”) critics reveal a strong antisemitism. Like it or not, it is consistent with their political philosophy.
A few of the critics are “decent people seeking goodness and kindness” who, regrettably, very selectively react to some pictures — without regard to their context or history.
Apologies for not knowing how to post pictures here but — please

Nope, sorry. Other war killing or even atrocities does not mean people are not justified to object to current ones without being called “antisemitic” for it.
It is not always antisemitic.
They’re antisemitic if they select only the IDF to criticize — which many (not all) of the critics do. There are far larger devastations from hostilities that ment of them never emit a peep about.
And in no other hostile conflict does the victim of the attack provide such massive free humanitarian aid and food to the enemy population.
We hear next to nothing about the (normal) lack of aid in the other areas of hostilities.
Think it over.
Thank you.
You are focusing on one element of what is happening.
I am accused of “anti-semitism” even though I have zero interest in events in the Middle East.
I just want the US to avoid getting tangled up in the mess.
What is the “eighth front”?
https://www.jns.org/jns-event-spotlights-eighth-front-the-information-battlefield/
Identifying the tactics of that information war seems to get a lot of folks around here very jumpy.
They don’t like acknowledging when they are getting herded and gate-kept and curated by skilled practitioners of the art of information warfare.
The establishment Republicans have been canceling people who weren’t on board for never ending wars, larger government programs and ever expanding government debt for decades.
Because they are nuts.
No one canceled them. They’ve just been called out.
What 5 year old write this?
Gaza deserves to be in ruins.
If Russia did that to someone in Poland (and killed a bunch more besides) no way would all these Zion cheerleaders say "that was not an attack on Poland".

the format for posting photos is

Do the above only without spaces before and after < >
history has proven imho that the best way to avoid anyone getting tangled up is to see the enemy defeated....after which there won’t be any conflict to possibly get tangled up in
what has been happening is that Israel gives away its victories (and they’re usually very hard fought ones)
this only enables those seeking to destroy Israel to regroup, rearm, re=strategize, re-deploy, and re-attack.
which triggers more “opportunities” for foreign entanglement in the resulting hostilities
defeat the enemy and there probably won’t be any more hostilities of note. especially with continued vigilance to prevent any enemy regrouping or rearming anywhere in firing range.
———entanglement can be made a non-issue.
as for the eighth front, Israel has indeed be losing it. Israel has a public information or, if you will, a propaganda department. But it is much under-resourced in light of the many BIllions of dineros being spent by enemies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia and SorozNazi and UnitedNazis and EuroNazi regimes....all parroting pretty much the same Big Lies......which much of the mass media is only too happy to broadcast far and wide
it is a really massive assault on the truth, one that Jerusalem does attempt to counter and correct ... but it is an uphill battle just in terms of resources
the mass media’s repeating these lies and slanders over and over and over again..... is a huge part of the problem. Be happy I will refrain from my full complaint list about the “information war’ you cite. I suspect we may agree a whole lot more than disagree about this (and it is very dangerous in a larger picture too, not only focusing on IDF or the middle east.....the lies and distortions and fake news are rampant nowadays in many media....my bottom line is that this renders any effort at restoring the public forum (in any reasonably honest and useful manner)..... and this also renders restoring any genuine “representative governance” unlikely (unattainable).
i don’t see anything in yours about the ‘attack on a country’ that occurred 07 October 2023.
but then again, I have an eye doctor appointment next week so maybe I’ll be able to find it after I get my new specs
as for the European situation, it is not entirely an accurate match for fighting terrorist murder gangsters like Hamas, Hezballah, PLO=Abbas=Fatah, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood (the parent gang for Hamas), AlQaida, etcetera etc. Not a parallel correspondence, albeit I do understand and agree with your thought about Poland.
thanks for that format for pictures, I will write it down and try it out soon!!!
Best, Merry Christmas

The right has NOT been trying to “cancel” anyone! Many of us HAVE said that if an organization supports or encourages people Like Candace Owens or Nick Fuentes, we have the right to stop donating to you and stop listening to you! We have the right to encourage others to stop listening to you if you deny the Holocaust or promote conspiracy theories about Israel, France, Donald Trump or TPUSA killing Charlie Kirk.
That is not “canceling”. I have not called for YouTube to stop hosting the shows of Fuentes or Owens. But I will not listen to them and will stop listening to people who treat them with respect and boast about their friendship with them.
All they had to do was release the hostages. They refused and Israel would not stop before the hostages were returned.
In the 80s, while in the military, I had a T-shirt with a mushroom cloud on it and “Don’t start a war if you can’t take the ending!” written on it.
There is a difference between TARGETING CIVILIANS and killing SOME civilians while attack MILITARY targets.
Russia didn’t drop pamphlets telling everyone to clear out because the bombing would begin soon. And unlike Hamas, Russia’s enemy did not build military installations UNDER HOSPITALS!
Dammit, I’m tired of the STUPIDITY of people saying, “But Israel is so evil!” We killed far more civilians to military in Iraq than Israel has done in Gaza!
That is the mature and adult response. But social media turns everything into a witch burning session. 🙄
The last thing we 'cancelled' was Bud light... that'd\s far far far less.
“as for the European situation, it is not entirely an accurate match for fighting terrorist murder gangsters like Hamas, Hezballah, PLO=Abbas=Fatah, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood (the parent gang for Hamas), AlQaida, etcetera etc. Not a parallel correspondence,”
I’m always surprised at the selective memory people have.

Wrong again !
The Chechens were in tunnels and under buildings ( including hospitals) all thru the battle of Grozny
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/jan/26/chechnya
Charming, just like Hamas. Attacked a military hospital.
