Woke activists hurt cause with ‘self-righteous toxicity’: left-wing think tank
New York Post ^ | July 12, 2021 | Lee Brown

Woke activists often ruin their own causes with “narcissism” and “self-righteous toxicity,” a left-wing UK think tank said Monday.

The Fabian Society, a “democratically governed socialist society” founded in 1884, warned in a pamphlet published Monday that petty infighting often gets in the way of progressives winning what it deems “culture wars.”

SNIP

Instead of winning support, that often leaves “the watching audience … alienated and confused by jargon-filled debates.”

They only quarrel about tactics. Family squabble.

The right and the center are losing big time to the left. There is nothing they can do that will galvanize the patriots to fight back, outside of keyboard warriorism.

I have seen a couple of “Woke” confessions similar to what the Chinese Cultural Revolution where they confess previously unwoke thoughts. The horror that they portrayed in the unwokeness is laughable. This is a form of mental illness not enlightenedment.

Like the scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian where the leftist groups are fighting about which radical leftist group first came up with the idea of kidnapping Pilate's wife, with the Roman soldiers coming upon it, laughing.

Have you noticed that the youth who claim that our Founding Fathers are nothing but a bunch of old white guys who should be ignored because they are a bunch of old white guys, seem to always forget that Engels, Marx, and Lenin are also a bunch of old white guys.

Have you noticed that the youth who claim that you must be vaccinated no matter what and your rights be dammed, are the same youth who 2 years ago were holding “My Body, My Choice” signs at rallies and protests.

Self-righteousness is just a phony form of respectability.

That the racists who claim “No black can be a racist” judge every white (every conservative) a racist based on skin color, ethnicity, religion and walth.

The best approach is to nurture their natural violent tendencies such that they fight and kill each other, poisoning any appeal they have for most people, and drawing the pathologically self-centered sociopaths out of the shadows and into the gang war. Then, after there's no question about their identity, round up all the survivors and rid ourselves of them. Naturally, I mean that in the nicest possible way.
