Will Wokeness Be Our Demise?

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 6/3/2023 7:17:19 AM

Some have said that "woke" is a virus of the mind that affects the ability to understand and interact with reality. Jack Posobiec recently spoke at the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) in Budapest, Hungary, where he explained how being woke "fundamentally subverts one's ability to function and engage with reality in a meaningful and authentic way." People infected with wokeness blame racism, white supremacy, homophobes, misogyny, religion, climate change, capitalism, etc. when things don't go their way.

Wokeness is a fad, not unlike hoola hoops, pet rocks, Valley Girls and hippie culture. It will last for a while and then mostly die. We are already seeing it. It will eventually be replaced by something equally stupid for the masses to sign onto and defend with everything they have.

Hoola hoops aren't demented, invasive, cancerous ideas...all of this insane woke business is. Woke is a destructive infestation and I seriously doubt that waiting it out is a viable strategy.

Wokeness is not the problem. Wokeness is just the thing that rushed into the vacuum created by abandoning truth and common sense. We are no longer moored to the dock of reality or the anchor of common sense. THAT is the issue. Today it is wokeness. Tomorrow it could be something else. Regardless of where the latest current might take us, its power to do so only exists because we are adrift in a sea of relativism.

Folks who fault medicos for treating symptoms without addressing the disease might also understand "Wokeness" as a symptom. The actual disease an entity of itself. "Weak men make hard times" As do corrupt men, who, in their swollen numbers, mark the end of good times. At least for the near future...

We have once again allowed the radical left to identify issues using THEIR terms. We LET them label themselves as WOKE; the implication that follows is that WE must be the UNwoke--- backwoods, out of touch, tone deaf morons who are incapable of coming up with reasonable solutions about our future. They excel at this scheme and use it time and the again because they know we have no proven effective defense. Think about how we allow them to label us as CLIMATE DENIERS---putting us in the peculiar position of having to deny being a denier. So a good start for us would be to eliminate the word "woke" from our vocabulary and instead add the following words to describe Democrats at every opportunity: ALARMISTS, scaremongers, doomsayers, pessimists, fatalists.

Diversity, multiculturalism, "woke" are all the means the globalist banking cabal is using to influence and control the Western world. One world government control over our lives. It is about freedom - the third world is not a problem as they are used to being controlled The global banks and pension/investment companies control the availability of companies' working capital through Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) scoring. Toe the line (currently the line is supporting trans)or no money for you. I am quite certain the big banks are invested in companies making trans clothing and other trans gear and forcing the sales through the companies they are invested in. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimond said people will never freely accept social change so it must be forced upon them and that is the banker's job. Golden Rule

Agree with posters above. Wokeness is the symptom. Left wing ideology is the disease. Trying to suppress it without addressing the root cause will make it surface somewhere else in another form.

Joe Biden is currently shedding young and minority voters at breakneck speed, prompting concerned progressives to ponder the reason as to why this is happening. Biden has clearly been struggling with nonwhite voters, and that’s a huge problem for Democrats when you consider that four-in-ten Democrat voters are nonwhite. But while his lead has softened among black and Hispanic voters, it’s his bleeding young voters that has to be most distressing for Democrats. In swing states, which are the only states that matter in any presidential election, the vote tally in 2020 among voters under the age of 30 suggested a 23-point lead over Trump.

am really tired of hearing that Trump is a "threat to democracy." Democrats seem to be repeating this mantra endlessly. Actually, they are right, but you have to understand what they really mean. Let's make a distinction between two flavors of democracy: democracy: rule by the people “Democracy”: rule by Democrats, specifically by members of the Democratic party Trump is truly a threat to “Democracy.” When Democrats make this claim, they really mean that he is a threat to their ascendancy, but they want you to think that they mean that he is a threat to rule by the people.

WILMINGTON, Delaware — Yesterday, a 12-person jury was swiftly selected in the gun trial of Hunter Biden. Behind him sat First Lady Jill Biden in a show of solidarity. Seated next to her was Hunter's current wife, Melissa Cohen, and his half-sister, Ashley Biden, making the criminal proceedings feel like family court. An assembly of Secret Service agents surrounded the Biden family. Of the jury pool, many knew the Bidens in some way. It was like six degrees of separation: Delaware edition. One potential juror said he used to play squash with Beau Biden, Hunter's late brother, and competed in at least one tournament together.

When an elderly relative is dying and the inevitable finally arrives, it still hurts a great deal. From the beginning, I had no faith in the legal process that has convicted Donald Trump in New York. Taking into account the prosecutor, the charges, the venue, the biased judicial oversight, and the sui generis nature of the proceedings, it was pretty obvious the fix was in from the beginning. But his conviction is a depressing spectacle all the same. It felt like we woke up in a different country on Friday. Until the news arrived, I had not completely lost hope. After all, it was a jury trial.

Another criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) soon may be made by members of the U.S. Congress to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying under oath to Congress, which is a felony crime. Representative Jim Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, soon may follow Senator Rand Paul in requesting that the DOJ to criminally investigate Fauci for lying under oath to Congress. But lying to Congress does not even begin to compare with or address the horrendous amount of suffering and death caused by the toxic health care policies and hospital protocols developed and promulgated by Anthony Fauci

Lenard Larry McKelvey, aka ‘Charlamagne Tha God,’ went on CNN over the weekend and dropped a take on the Trump guilty verdict that wasn’t shocking. However, it continues to send the Left into cardiac arrest, especially those in CNN’s front office. The liberal media is doing a full-court press in selling the ‘Trump is a felon’ talking point. No one cares, especially those in the Republican Party who think this hush money trial in Manhattan, for which former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts, was a political witch hunt.

The Obama/Biden/Soros cabal is nearing its fourth term running America, driving this once great nation into the ditch of communism and tyranny. Last week, America finally crossed the Rubicon from a nation of liberty and the rule of law to a banana republic thugocracy where the ruling party indicts, arrests, and imprisons its political opposition. The Rubicon is a boundary or limiting line. The expression is a few thousand years old, In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar led his army to the banks of the Rubicon, a small river that marked the boundary between Italy and Gaul.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) on Monday testified before a House Select Subcommittee on the Covid origins, lockdowns and phony medical guidance.

Donald Trump has been convicted by a jury in Manhattan. “I was convicted. I’m appealing!” Most of us have a TV legal drama perspective. I rise to shine light on this process so that we can properly understand how a guilty verdict was reached in a case where Donald Trump did nothing illegal, immoral, or fattening. A prosecution must satisfy conditions laid out in the Constitution, which is, should anyone forget, the highest law of the land. It specifies safeguards for the legal process. In the 5th Amendment, we find “No person… shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law…”

In an unprecedented outcome, challenges arise for how the Secret Service would adapt if corrupt Judge Juan Merchan sentences Trump to prison. In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Secret Service said the guilty verdict "has no bearing on the manner in which the United States Secret Service carries out its protective mission.” “Our security measures will proceed unchanged,"

Joe Biden is being encouraged to replace Kamala Harris with a blast from the past to aid his floundering chances at re-election. Biden, who has struggled in the polls nationally and in key swing states, has left Democrats wondering if major change is needed to beat Donald Trump in November. Questions and doubts exist over the health and ability to perform the job of Biden, at 81, the oldest president in American history. Harris - the first female and first black vice president in American history - has also struggled, with poll numbers saying a majority of Americans don't think she would be a good president.

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s bid to appeal a gag order in Alvin Bragg’s case after a jury already returned a guilty verdict. President Trump previously asked the Court to lift the gag order “because the trial has concluded.” Biden’s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo earlier this month asked Merchan to keep the gag order in place to “avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself.” Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors asked Judge Juan Merchan to keep Trump’s gag order in place even though a jury returned a guilty verdict in the ‘hush money.’

During the interview, the host asked Fauci about his recommendations during the pandemic to close the nation's public schools, a situation that lasted for more than a year in some places. In a rare moment of seeming self-awareness, Fauci admitted that shutting down the schools for that long "was not a good idea."
