Within WOKE Marxism you're not permitted to identify
yourself as an individual rather your individuality is sublated to your class
where your class identity becomes the basis for your identity as a person.
Understanding identity in this way is known as
"Critical Consciousness". The way the WOKE create "Class
identification" to attain "Critical Consciousness" is indicative
of how WOKE is not so much an ideology but is actually the doctrine of a gnostic
cult where only those initiated into its secrets can truly understand its
hidden mysteries. Which is why if the average person tries to wrap their head
around these concepts, they must first pretend that they've lost their mind!
This type of sociological Gnosticism stretches all the way
back to Rousseau through Kant, Hegel, and Marx, among others. The WOKE believe
that they are the embodiment of the way people are meant to be since they are
the only ones who truly understand what it means to be members of their identity
class making them the true expressions of that class. They believe there is an
evil force known as the demi-urge that constructs reality such that it
imprisons people in this imperfect material world. But through the secret gnostic
knowledge of who they really are based on their Critical Consciousness this will
allow them to escape the confines of that prison, or in other words, to escape
reality.
They place the spiritual aspect of life away from
"I" onto "we" such that they will become greater than their
individual selves through their WOKE Community. Which is why these communities
exist to rebel against what they label as the "structural
determinism" inherent to the powerful classes within society who represent
the demi-urge.
And no, I ain't kidding!
When I shared the above with Bing AI, and it immediately
responded with an extremely denunciatory condemnation of what I had written. This
indicates to me that its programmers have weighted Bing AI’s biases in favour
of Postmodernism, WOKE, Cultural Marxism, and all the other “isms” which are
variations on a theme that has its origins in Gnostic beliefs. These repeating
themes wind their way through illiberal and authoritarian ideologies which are
reductionist and determinist in nature as they attempt to provide oversimplified
explanations for psychological and sociological phenomena where blame is
externalized away from the individual onto the dominant social order which is
labelled as repressive.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn believed that we were all accountable
for illiberal and authoritarian tyranny. His solution was to take on personal responsibility
to counter totalitarianism. Here are some of the things he said to say about willingly
assuming accountability:
1. "The simple step of a courageous individual is not
to take part in the lie. 'One word of truth outweighs the world.'"¹
2. "What would things been like [in Russia] if during
periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at
every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but
understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs
hall an ambush of half a dozen people?"¹
3. "You can resolve to live your life with integrity.
Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph.
But not through me."¹
4. "To do evil a human being must first of all believe
that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its
long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness
and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem
good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear
reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors."¹
5. "We hear a constant clamor for rights, rights,
always rights, but so very little about responsibility. And we have forgotten
God. The need now is for selflessness, for a spirit of sacrifice, for a
willingness to put aside personal gains for the salvation of the whole Western
world."¹
These quotes highlight Solzhenitsyn's belief in the power
of individual responsibility and truth in the face of societal failings and
totalitarian regimes.
As I stated in yesterday’s blog and podcast, the most
murderous totalitarian ideologies that have ever existed hid their actual
intent under a banner of equity where the needs of the many were said to outweigh
the civil liberties of the few. Remarkably it has always been the case that it
was the few who believed this lie who would then force their views on the many
until by coup or revolution they could take hold of the reigns of power. Once
they did the many were invariably sacrificed on the altar of the system of idolatrous
totalitarianism practiced by the few. There is no such thing as socialist
tyranny without the Dialectical Synthesis of two opposites to construct a
simulacrum that the many will be forced to accept upon pain of death should
they refuse to swallow the lie.
So today we can see that demographics is destiny, they are
the most readily predictable outcome of the culture war. The entire West has
done permanent damage to its various cultural identities to pursue a
non-existent vision of creating a social collectivist utopia where its “global
citizens” would lack the common values required to create social cohesion.
But here is what is odd, after sharing my initial thoughts
on Understanding WOKE with Bing AI and its denunciatory condemnation of that, I
then asked it to create an argument in favor of renowned social critic and cultural
expert Dr. James Lindsay's understanding of how the left replaces the real with
a fake “simulacrity”. It responded with the following which is a complete
contradiction of its initial criticisms of what I had first shared with it which
was nothing other than a paraphrasing of Dr. Lindsay’s position. Here is the “article“
it wrote in about 15 seconds flat:
Simulacra is the term that Dr. James Lindsay
uses to describe the phenomenon of creating and living in a false reality that
replaces the real one. He argues that this is the ultimate goal and strategy of
the radical left, who use various tools and tactics to manipulate and deceive
people into accepting their ideological agenda. ¹²
One of the main tools that the radical left
uses to create simulacra is critical theory, which is a set of academic
disciplines that claim to expose and challenge the oppression and injustice
that are embedded in the structures and systems of society. However, according
to Lindsay, critical theory is not a genuine or rigorous form of scholarship,
but rather a pseudo-intellectual and political weapon that aims to undermine
and destroy the foundations of Western civilization, such as reason, science,
democracy, and human rights. ³⁴
Lindsay and his colleagues have demonstrated
the absurdity and dishonesty of critical theory by conducting the so-called
grievance studies hoax, in which they wrote and submitted fake papers to
academic journals that specialize in critical theory. They used ridiculous and
outrageous topics and arguments, such as fat bodybuilding, rape culture at dog
parks, and male masturbation as a form of transphobia, to test the standards
and quality of these journals. To their surprise and dismay, many of their papers
were accepted and published, revealing the lack of rigor and integrity in these
fields.
Another tool that the radical left uses to
create simulacra is social justice activism, which is a movement that claims to
fight for the rights and dignity of marginalized and oppressed groups, such as
racial minorities, women, LGBTQ+ people, and others. However, according to
Lindsay, social justice activism is not a genuine or noble cause, but rather a
divisive and destructive force that aims to create and exploit conflicts and
grievances among different groups of people. Social justice activists use
various tactics, such as cancel culture, identity politics, intersectionality,
and woke language, to silence and intimidate anyone who disagrees or challenges
their worldview.
Lindsay and his allies have challenged and
opposed the social justice agenda by exposing and criticizing its flaws and
dangers. They have argued that social justice activism is based on a false and
harmful understanding of reality, in which everything is reduced to a binary
and zero-sum game of oppressors and oppressed, and in which the only way to
achieve justice is to overthrow and replace the existing order with a new one
that is dictated by the radical left. They have also warned that social justice
activism is incompatible and hostile to the values and principles of classical
liberalism, such as individual freedom, equality, and tolerance.
Therefore, Lindsay's understanding of simulacra
is a valid and valuable perspective that reveals and resists the threat and
danger of the radical left's attempt to create and impose a false reality that
negates and replaces the real one. He offers a rational and realistic
alternative that defends and preserves the true and good aspects of Western
civilization, such as reason, science, democracy, and human rights. He also
invites and encourages people to have honest and constructive conversations
about the complex and controversial issues that face our society, rather than
succumbing to the simplistic and polarizing narratives that are propagated by
the radical left.

Therefore, Bing AI’s own article both negated and
disregarded its previous argument. Which is why I believe that our greatest
weapon against the radical left and its latest incarnation of WOKE lies in
exposing the fact that the left’s own arguments negate themselves. They are
contradictory to the core. Which is why I suggest upon Dr. Lindsay’s advise that
you first pretend that you have lost your mind before trying to wrap your head
around its blatant contradictions. When I was in China, I saw knock offs of
everything. Which is why no patent law is safe in China factories which frankly
have terrible first-time quality and safety protocols. WOKE is the Chinese knockoff
of a proper social order. There is nothing real about it. In fact, even in China
they try to make a copy of a product that would fool the buyer. But can we honestly
say that Dylan Mulvany could actually fool anyone into believing that his
mangina was a vagina? I honestly do not care to think about that. Chicks with
dicks are so hilariously unreal that I seriously wonder why the left bothers, but
again, that is why they are nuts and want us to go along with the insanity. If
you want to dress up in mommy’s clothes and hang out by the pier where sailors
dress as ladies that is up to you, but do not create parades on my tax dime to
demand that I share in this WOKE delusion that you can use Hegel to create man
as the thesis, woman as the antithesis and Dylan Mulvany as the synthesis. Even
a two-day old pigeon knows who its mother is. Which makes me wonder if the WOKE
have the intellectual capacity of a sewer falcon, a gutter eagle, or that
statue shitting winged turd, that most ubiquitous of all stupid birds, the
common pigeon!
