Woke Hypocrisy: A User’s Guide
American Thinker.com ^ | May 14, 2022 | Steve Rose

Posted on 05/14/2022 3:44:12 AM PDT by Kaslin

Wokeism is not what it pretends to be.

It fools a lot of people by pretending to be about high ideals. It pretends to struggle against injustice, overcome oppression, and so on.

But in reality, it’s something very different. For many more of us, the scam is clear: the Woke simply want power. They just want to rule over the rest of us. They’ve already made astounding progress toward this goal.

How are they pulling this off? They’re working to invent a flood of rules that we must live by, but they don’t. They want two sets of rules -- some for us, others for them.

For example: Offending them is a terrible thing. It’s so terrible, in fact, that they’ve been trying to make it illegal to hurt their feelings. Yet they can offend us all the time.

They insist that subjective feelings are profoundly important -- important enough to write laws and even base entire societies on. Yet our feelings are routinely ignored, minimized, dismissed, mischaracterized, or forcefully suppressed.

They justify everything they do based on their imaginary fantasies and utopian ideals, yet they dismiss everything we do because of the sinister aims they imagine we have.

They insist that we “shouldn’t judge” other people, and any expression of disapproval of their behavior, however mild, is completely unacceptable. Yet they “judge” us -- quite harshly -- all the time.

They insist on being allowed to be who they are, yet they refuse to let us be who we are.

They insist that we’re such terrible people that they refuse to even engage in a dialogue or conversation with us. Yet they claim that we’re the ones who are intolerant.

That's Rule # 1.

"All new rules need to push the woke agenda further to the left".

It took longer than I thought for Twatter to lock my account since I went back last month. LOL! I posted a meme of Moochelle, and got a lot ‘LIkes’.

Your account is locked

"Too many Americans are still blind to the true nature of Wokeism. It’s societal poison. It’s a fundamentalist cult, riddled with zealotry and intolerance, fueled by hysteria and moral narcissism. It’s an intellectual virus that has been deliberately engineered to destroy Western culture and replace it with a hellish Marxist dystopia."

Yup... That just about sums it up...

Woke is a mind control cult for the lazy.

And it is bad grammar. Which dooms it from the start.

We are focused on their hypocrisy. They don’t care. They are focused on taking ground. We have to take the ground back.

“We have to take the ground back.” Exactly. Hopefully the midterms will help. And if 2000 Mules gets proven by law enforcement and those involved get prosecuted.... Winning small battles.

“We are focused on their hypocrisy. They don’t care. They are focused on taking ground. We have to take the ground back.”

Even though you are right there is a problem. They are immoral and unscrupulous. The only way to win against this immorality is to fight fire with fire. This would require the moral to become immoral as an equal force in return.

Even though the moral are righteous and just, it is our own Achille’s heel in this battle. If we do not fight dirty in return this battle is lost. And this is how they got to where we are right now. Only one side is playing by the rules.

An honorable and moral loss is still a loss. If we never fight back with a stance of “all is fair in war” we will lose.

I believe that they believe that up is down and down is up, that bad is good and good is bad.

The Bible speaks about times like these, when truth is governed by the prince of the air, their father of lies, the one they follow to their end.

And so now those given over sow the wind, woke and clueless about the coming storm that’s coming for them.
