When the progressive woke revolution took over traditional America, matters soon reached the level of the ridiculous.
Take the following examples of woke craziness and hypocrisy, perhaps last best witnessed during Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.
The Biden administration from its outset wished to neuter immigration law. It sought to alter radically the demography of the U.S. by stopping the border wall and allowing into the United States anyone who could walk across the southern border.
Over seven million did just that. Meanwhile, Biden ignored the role of the Mexican cartels in causing nearly 100,000 ANNUAL American fentanyl deaths.
Then border states finally wised up.
They grasped that the entire open-borders, “new Democratic majority” leftwing braggadocio was predicated on its hypocritical architects staying as far away as possible from their new constituents.
So cash strapped border states started busing their illegal aliens to sanctuary blue-state jurisdictions.
Almost immediately, once magnanimous liberals, whether in Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, or Manhattan, stopped virtue-signaling their support for open borders.
Instead, soon they went berserk over the influx.
So now an embarrassed Biden administration still wishes illegal aliens to keep coming but to stay far away from their advocates—by forcing them to remain in Texas.
That means the president has redefined the US. border. It rests now apparently north of Texas, as Biden cedes sovereignty to Mexico.
Precivilizational greens in California prefer blowing up dams to building them.
They couldn’t care less that their targeted reservoirs help store water in drought, prevent flooding, enhance irrigation, offer recreation, and generate clean hydroelectric power.
Now an absurd green California is currently destroying four dams on the Klamath River. In adding insult to injury, it is paying the half-billion dollar demolition cost in part through a water bond that state voters once thought would build new—not explode existing—dams.
The Biden administration is mandating new dates when electric vehicles will be all but mandatory.
To prove their current viability, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm led a performance art EV caravan on a long road trip.
When she found insufficient charging stations to continue her media stunt, she sent a gas-powered car ahead to block open charging stations and deny them to other EVs ahead in line.
Only that way could Granholm ensure that her arriving energy-starved motorcade might find rare empty charger stalls.
In some California charging stations, diesel generators are needed to produce enough “clean” electricity to power the stalls.
The state has steadily dismantled many of its nuclear, oil, and coal power plants. It refuses to build new natural gas generation plants.
Naturally, California’s heavily subsidized solar and wind plants now produce too much energy during the day and almost nothing at night.
So the state now begs residents to charge their EVs only during the day. Then at night, Californians may soon be asked to plug them in again to transfer what is left in their batteries into the state grid.
Apparently only that way will there be enough expropriated “green” electricity for 41 million state residents after dark.
One of the loudest leftist voices to defund the police, and decriminalize violent crimes in the post-George Floyd era, was Shivanthi Sathanandan, the 2nd Vice Chairwoman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
She was recently not shy about defunding: “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE.”
But recently the loud Sathanandan was a victim of the very crime wave she helped to spawn.
Four armed thugs carjacked her automobile. They beat her up in front of her children at her own home, and sped off without fear of arrest.
The reaction of the arch police dismantler and decriminalizer on her road to Damascus?
The now bruised and bleeding activist for the first time became livid that criminals had taken over her Minneapolis: “Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”
Andrea Smith was an ethnic studies professor at the University of California, Riverside. But now she has been forced out after getting caught lying that she was Native American.
Prior to her outing, she was well known for damning “white women” (like herself) who opted to “become Indians” out of guilt, and (like her) for careerist advantage.
The common theme of these absurdities is how contrary to human nature, impractical, and destructive is utopian wokism, whether in matters of energy, race, crime, or illegal immigration.
There are two other characteristics of the Woke Revolution.
One, it depends solely on its advocates never having to experience firsthand any of the nonsense they inflict on others.
And two, dangerous zealots with titles before, and letters after, their names prove to be quite stupid—and dangerous.
Christians wear the cross to identify with their group and ward off evil (sin).
Leftists wear the mask to identify with their group and ward off evil (germs).
Leftists wear masks to hide their faces from those who would bring them to justice.
Look it up. Anyone can be stupid. All classes and ethnicities can be a victim of stupidity. It is easy to be talked into it when you don’t have to live with the consequences of the positions you hold. How’s this for stupid. Everyone will do the right thing if given the chance. Wrong. Today nearly no one will.
Great point, sir. Economist has shown light on an important principle of societal decline. The five universal laws of human stupidity.
Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. There are no defenses against stupidity, argued the Italian-born professor, who died in 2000. The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.
Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
And its corollary: A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.
The difference between societies that collapse under the weight of their stupid citizens and those who transcend them are the makeup of the non-stupid.
“…the non-stupid population inevitably strengthens the destructive power of the [stupid] fraction and makes decline a certainty,” Cipolla concludes.
“And the country goes to Hell.”
Mao said, “Many who have read Marxist books have become renegades from the revolution, whereas illiterate workers often grasp Marxism very well.”
Lenin said, “We are not utopians, we do not “dream” of dispensing at once with all administration, with all subordination. These anarchist dreams, based upon incomprehension of the tasks of the proletarian dictatorship, are totally alien to Marxism, and, as a matter of fact, serve only to postpone the socialist revolution until people are different. No, we want the socialist revolution with people as they are now, with people who cannot dispense with subordination, control, and “foremen and accountants”.
And, as always, Ben Franklin — “A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” “The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.”
All illegal invaders need to be shipped to Delaware and make them pay for foisting their traitor Dirty Joe on us. Ship them to Dirty Joe’s ill begotten mansions in Delaware. He can take them all in.
With a population of a million, it won’t be long before the inhabitants of Delaware become second class citizens.
Excellent article, thanks!!!
Communist bigwigs have all the luxuries for themselves in every Communist regime. Sacrifices are for the peasants, and dissenters get the gulag or the grave. The AINO (American in name only) filth you describes are exactly the same.
VDH at his best.
I’m left wondering what, if anything, can be done.
Post-modernism denies the existence of objective facts, truth, rationality. To post-modernists everything is a narrative. Post-modernism has thoroughly infected the American Left. There is no “truth;” there is only “her truth,” “his truth,” “lived experience.” This makes for the disasterous policy choices the Left pursues and implements. Well, that and giving themselves more power.
Excellent point. I remember my philosophy prof argued that true is NOT relative. He argued real truth is an absolute. Seems to me that is obvious until one listens to a lefty.
Cloward-Piven: It’s Everywhere! It’s Everywhere! and the GOP wants you to fill out their polls and rank what is important to you! MORONS! It’s EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE! Immigration America-cide! Out of Control Spending money borrowed from China! Marxism taking over our government, our schools, and our Mainstream News Media! Anti-Christian attacks! Anti-Whites Attacks! Marxist-controlled schools attacking the families of the children they teach! Legalizing all sexual perversions! When the Marxists win, the educated morons that supported all these things will be the first that are lined up against the walls and executed, just like they did in Cambodia, China, Cuba, Angola, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Meanwhile the Supreme Leaders live the life of millionaires and Billionaires! Laughing at the Serfs they control.
America’s biggest problem is the 80 million or so Obama/Biden voters who are clueless of the destruction their votes render.
First you have to believe the narrative that 80-81 million people actually voted for this mumbling stumbling corpse named Joe Biden.
That reminds me, think i will watch “Weekend at Bernies”, later tonight.
Plenty of anti-constitutional tyrants and despots in the Democrat Party and among their fellow traveling RINOs are looking to change the USA into Commie China west. Time to start watering the Liberty Tree.
Psycho-Progressivism is the dominant American leftist political ideology of the twenty-first century; it is an evolution of postmodernism with a large helping of delusion.
Wokisn illustrates a major vulnerability in humans, in that “formerly sane” people can easily fall victim to the force if the cult. That means falling victim to fake news, brainwashing via their blind acceptance of groupthink. Why? People inherently “just want to be liked” meaning being a part of a social entity/group. And eesperatr for acceptance they are capable of doing just about anything to be a part of this group. This “herd mentality: can explain many of the social ills humans fall prey to, including how NAZl soldiers “just followed orders” in carrying out atrocities. It also explains why people who are highly educated also fall prey. These people are inherently weak and when alone and isolated usually break easily.
Sathanandan’s outrage gives validation to the old adage that a conservative is a liberal whose been mugged.
Thank you, Victor. Ridiculous indeed! I confess I laughed about the carjackee. Is a conservative a wokester who’s been carjacked?
Hello. And Bye.
