The Fatal Flaw At The Core Of Wokeism
American Thinker.com ^ | November 7, 2021 | Steve Rose

Posted on 11/07/2021 2:49:05 AM PST by Kaslin

Wokeism is fatally flawed at the core. It pretends to be a road to universal harmony. But it will never deliver. Wokeism might seem intimidating at first but, like the Death Star, critical weaknesses make it vulnerable.

The most obvious flaw is that certain individuals claim to be oppressed while simultaneously enjoying support from the government, the media, academia, the entire entertainment industry, Big Business, and Big Tech. You can either be a marginalized victim or enjoy the support of the most powerful institutions in existence but not both.

Wokeness also contradicts itself. Take the phrase, “all white people are racist.” Translation: “People with this skin color are bad because they divide people up based on skin color.”

Wokeism takes superficial human traits—such as skin color, which reveal nothing truly important about an individual—and makes them the central organizing principle of society. They’re trying to reorganize our entire society around superficial traits.

What about its effects? Does Wokeism deliver on its promises? Exactly the opposite. Aside from making everyone miserable and poisoning the culture, Wokeism makes race relations worse.

It’s all lies.. Pretty basic.

Wokeism is a mask for class warfare. If the peasants ever realize it, the Wokeratti are done.

Specifically, if “Hispanics” nationwide do what previous immigrant groups have done and become more Republican the longer they are in the US....as is indeed showing signs of happening already.....the Leftists are finished. They’ve already turned the entire White working and middle classes against them (not just Southerners any more). The support of Blacks is very slowly becoming less monolithic as the older generation dies off. Therefore they must get overwhelming support from “Hispanics” or the whole thing collapses.

“Wokeism makes race relations worse.”

As it is meant to. The point is to create angry, resentful foot soldiers, who are certain they can never get ahead, in order to use them to help topple the Capitalist system. It is meant to divide and destroy, not to unify. It is just a means to Marxism.

"Wokeism...the new brand name for COMMUNISM."

Wokeism in the U.S. is simply treason.

First there must be the realization. At root, the ruling black majority are bad, domestic American enemies intent on destroying the Republic and changing it into some Euro utopia.

BLM is the terrorist arm of the NAACP and is an American enemy

Forget about racism....... blacks are a political, not a racial entity.

The price abandoned reality when they fell for “ Post Modernism” and the rejection of absolute truths.

They can not even recognize facts .

Take for example camela our V.P.

With a southern border in crisis, an economy in a state of chaos and massive inflation crushing the American people, Kamala Harris is worried about environmental racism and trees not getting enough social justice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1JwwF9o3Sc

The band RUSH wrote a song,

The Trees

to illustrate the danger and malicious illogic of socialism and communism

,, and camela thinks the song promotes it.

During NASA Visit Kamala Harris Advocates for Rush Song Lyrics to Lead Policy for Environmental Justice

November 6, 2021 | Sundance | 96 Comments

Quite remarkably yesterday, the affirmative action politician known as Kamala Harris advocated for the implementation of a social justice standard based on the lyrics of a 1978 rock and role song by the band Rush. Yeah, this actually happened.

With a southern border in crisis, an economy in a state of chaos and massive inflation crushing the American people, Kamala Harris is worried about environmental racism and trees not getting enough social justice. WATCH: [She is speaking through a mask, so make sure you turn up the sound so you can hear her.]

RUSH – The Trees

“There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the Maples
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the Forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the Maples scream ‘Oppression!’
And the Oaks, just shake their heads

So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more Oak oppression

For they passed a

noble

law
And the trees are all kept equal
By

hatchet,

Axe,

And saw…”
