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.

From your own link:
“Rebel fighters in Grozny live in the basements of bombed-out buildings and travel underground through a network of tunnels. Doctors operate without anaesthetics. Civilians, afraid to venture out, bury their dead in the courtyards of their apartment buildings.
The daily bombardment by Russian aircraft and artillery has so devastated the capital of Chechnya that when the war ultimately ends, there will be few homes left standing for those who wish to return.”
Did it say Chechens spent 20 years building underground military facilities and putting hospitals on top? NO!
They RESPONDED to the bombing by going underground.
Second: Russia invaded Chechnya. Chechnya did not invade Russia, kill thousands of civilians, take hostages, etc.
Israel was attacked by Gaza. Russia was not attacked by Chechnya.
“Russia was not attacked by Chechnya.”
Wrong !
Russia faced repeated terrorist attacks, Aprtment bombings, Moscow theatre massacre, Beslan school murders

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
This is the list of just the Moscow attacks

.
The eighth front is not just a “public relations department”.
It is is wholesale media and social media acquisition as well as legislation in Western country seeking to limit/curate public discourse (the topic of this thread).
The notion that there is a lack of resources for this effort is rather amusing.
Just one example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison
“In 2017, Ellison donated $16.6 million (equivalent to $21,300,000 in 2024) to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), saying, “Since Israel’s founding, we have called on the brave men and women of the IDF to defend our home”. This was the largest donation in the organization’s history.”
Hello
We agree that there’s no shortage of money behind the constant media campaign against the Jewish and Christians people of faith. It’s done in various subtle ways basically by eliminating almost all newsworthy events as might shed any light on what’s going on — plus the repetitive use of coded language designed to influence or program the listener// viewers in a subliminal manner. There are efforts to correct or clarify but it’s difficult and frankly they were not very evident on the internet until quite recently. Now, we are beginning to see a bit more pushback, and interestingly much of it is from individuals more than the traditional community organized organizations. Imho, it is beginning to help. Places like college campuses where bigots may have taken administrative control remain quite problematical, especially at the several university
IRS that have sold out to enemy funding like from Dubai/ Qatar or Saudi Arabian sourced funds.
Insofar as the contributor’s donation to fidf, that was a tiny part of his bank account, he’s quite well off —- (still, yes, a bit more than we’ve contributed this year so I can’t criticize him on this score —smiles smiles— we will be giving them a substantial gift in our estate …)
The dangers to America with media are longstanding — imho, this fellow’s warning comes to mind:

Ha!
I see your point. But as USA has done a whole lot more and many times in many countries (literally dozens of nations over many years), ambassador Hucksbee’s presentation was quite understandable and not by any means erroneous or hypocritical in any way.

Yes, 400

Best for a happy season
You missed the point of my post.
You referred to a “public relations effort”.
I referred to buying an entire huge social network called “Tiktok”.
Do you understand the difference?
It is the difference between an ant and an elephant.
Who owns Tiktok now?
Where do their loyalties lie?
Read my post again and you will understand what is happening.
And therefore it is specifically anti-Judaic and anti-Christian, because the God of Abraham has commanded us “You shall not covet.”
What if God gave them disproportionate intelligence (statistically determined) and a tenet of faith to do good in the world (Tikkun Olam)? How should they then use those gifts, to suit you?
War is hell. Are you up to date with what the “Palestinians” have been doing to the Israelis since 1948—the constant barrages of bombs, missiles and terrorism for 3/4ths of a century? If not, zeroing in on the necessities of making it stop in today’s war are short-sighted virtue signaling.
Would that be antinonsemitic of you to point that out?
There was a lot of media consolidation even back in 2016 when this was https://www.webfx.com/blog/internet/the-6-companies-that-own-almost-all-media-infographic/

I’m given to understand that tic toc is particularly problematic —
You are dodging and weaving.
I get it.
You don’t want to see what you don’t want to see.
When you are ready for the truth you will see it—and not one moment before.
Im not dodging or weaving at all.
I have tried to respond to your notes and add whatever facts or germane reports I can.
Whatever you believe you are seeing is not patent and I am out of time to deal with this, we have a major plumbing emergency and upcoming hospital appointments to prep for.
You will have to enjoy whatever truth you possess by yourself, at least for awhile, sorry.
Meanwhile, Merry Christmas or whatever friendly salutation rings best for you...
all the best,
fhc
Just the opposite.
Correct.
