If you have been wondering why so little of this insanity makes sense, this may help explain it. The "Woke" kids don't believe in rational arguments. They see logical reasoning as being an instrument of the oppressors to keep power over the oppressed. We are dealing with brainwashed people who not only can't think logically, they don't believe in the value of thinking logically. It's is pure emotional hatred and a feeling of moral superiority. They really have become useless idiots.

Great article. Thanks for posting. The left is full of passion, but bereft of self-control.

Once you start using violence to settle your arguments, there’s no reason to debate.

Wokeness depends on feelings. If you FEEL slighted, when you FEEL offended, you win.

Feelings cannot withstand reason in a debate - they can 9nly morph into anger, and eventually violence.

Repressive tolerance taught by Marcuse and others. Do not argue, just shout down, shut up, anybody who is not in line. Basically refined Marx's teaching of the dictature of the proletariat. They just want to destroy the system, because they think it is not fair. So in order to be fair, they need to lower everybody to the level of the lowest of the low! Very scary, especially since they have succeeded so many times before (SU, China, Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia, etc.) 100 millions have already been sacrificed to this fairness theory.

“We are dealing with brainwashed people who not only can’t think logically, they don’t believe in the value of thinking logically. It’s is pure emotional hatred and a feeling of moral superiority. They really have become useless idiots”.

Let me boil it down to a pure basic fact, we are dealing with the mentally deranged. The Insane. The people that used to be institutionalized. Just look at the videos of those people screaming like delusional maniacs at black cops.
White women with complete and utter insanity in their eyes spitting mad with deranged looks on their faces screaming at black cops doing their best to maintain self control in the face of insanity.
And, the democrat party supporting all of this insanity in their quest for power.

They won’t debate you because opposing views are offensive and wrong. Your opposing views, not theirs.

The MAIN problem with the so-called “woke” people is that they seem INCAPABLE of RATIONAL THOUGHT & FEEL that purely emotional responses, wishes & utter NONSENSE are all that is necessary for people to function successfully in human society.

It should be noted that - besides the upper-tier SJW theorists and strategists, who of course don't want to debate you (mostly for the reasons cited in this article) - there are plenty of lower-tier SJWs, "Allies," fellow-travellers, and useful idiots who think that they are willing and capable of engaging in rational discourse on the subject, but who, in fact, are capable only of spouting "canned" nonsense.

However, they will (unknowingly) inundate you with accusations of "toxic masculinity," "White fragility," "systemic racism," "White privilege," etc. which - in an honest conversation - would first have to be thoroughly "unpacked" before proceeding any further (naturally, in the course of doing that, their inherent contradictions would become apparent). But since conservatives think that understand what these terms mean, they "fall for it" and soon become tangled in a web of misunderstanding.

My advice is therefore: Don't let an SJW sneak ready-made terms like that into the debate without first exactly defining them. (Of course, if they're smart / tricky, they'll define them using other "code terms" in a form of circular reasoning - or they'll accuse you of being totally "not with it," since these terms have been splashed all over the media and you must be a Neanderthal for not already understanding them.)

Regards,

They think this way because they have never been afraid.

Fear is the cure.

There are some people who become addicted to the “adrenaline rush” of rage.

Thanks for posting this clear definitive article on the nature of "wokeness" that is so puzzling to someone like myself, a scientist by training and a Christ-follower by a faith; to both of which Reason is a fundamental precept.

It is for this very cause that someone raised in another reasoning age cannot easily grasp what the SJWs are up to, and how they avoid accepting the consequences of their behavior.

Apparently, this is what the true civil war is about. It is not about "Skinism" (who is not of some external hue or lack of it?) or "police brutality" (lawful exercise of force), is it? It is about SJWs rejecting a law-abiding society whose rules our fellow citizens formulate, but only if they are founded upon this society's Declaration of Independence, and federal and states' Constitutions, that explain the fine points of the LAWS of Nature and Nature's God.

The issue of making George Floyd their prominent icon is not the issue then, but that his misadventure has occasioned, which is the SJW anticulture's opportunistic manipulation of the circumstances to motivate irrational emotionality. The increasingly great dominance of poorly schooled citizens (and alien invaders) is becoming actually incapable of ruling themselves reasonably. They prefer being manipulated.

And with the irrationality, they are willing and prepared to dedicate themselves to a bloody civil war against our culture.
