"The entire Woke movement can be summarized as being one of little more than protest and paranoia." -@ConceptualJames

The Critical Social Justice obsession with and understanding of bias very likely stems primarily from its roots in critical theories, specifically and primarily the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School.

"Under critical theory, you have to have both the identity and the identity politics right in order to count as 'diverse.'" -@ConceptualJames

"A first of its kind, this book takes on Wokeness at the level of its institutional strategy and equips readers to do something about it." -@ConceptualJames

I just received a message about this podcast, thanking me for it. It talks about how Woke exploits trust as a kind of resource to advance its agenda and therefore creates a low-trust society.

Another friend of mine added grace to this argument recently.

He said that part of the phenomenon of trust that the Woke exploit is specifically grace and gracious behavior. They expect that you'll be gracious in dealing with them and answering their arguments. You'll be kind, patient, good-faith, understanding, respectful, and generally assume they're mistaken rather than malicious, taking their arguments at face value rather than for operational purpose. They are using this grace as another good-society resource they exploit to advance their agenda.

You can tell this is happening because they not only don't reciprocate grace but do the very opposite. They demand infinite grace for themselves, their positions, and their arguments while extending you and yours zero (or negative).

You will witness MANY such cases of this behavior all around you (IYKYK) right now when dealing with Wokes.

"Woke self-production is a process of psychological manipulation in order to get people to turn themselves into dissident wedges against the society they live in." -@ConceptualJames

"I am not going to let my disillusionment with my past activism discourage me from trying to do good in the future. If you find yourself similarly disillusioned, take heart."

"To understand what Critical Social Justice is, you have to understand that it is a moral order first, and a particularly dysfunctional and repressive one, and an intellectual system second (if at all and only by pretense)." -@ConceptualJames

"The cultural issue is much thornier and more difficult, but again, this critical approach shoots itself in the foot because it cannot allow a meeting halfway." -@ConceptualJames

"The purpose is to to sow agitation and disruption at all levels, everywhere, in order to affect the ideological subversion or demoralization of the entire population." -@ConceptualJames

[New Discourses @NewDiscourses]

To live in a free society is not to live in a perfect society, because perfection is unattainable. The societies which have sought after Utopia have always been totalitarian and have always failed universally. We will not be an exception to that rule.

"What you see in this essay by Herbert Marcuse in 1969, is him explicitly saying that we have to remake man at the biological dimension to accept Liberation by forcing him to live in this new critical theory-based moral world." -@ConceptualJames

"Discourse," as it is understood by critical theories, is specifically interested in how ways of talking construct and perpetuate power imbalances between groups.

A different look at how Woke and totalitarian ideologies work, taking important cues from the Greek view of the structure of persuasion, that is rhetoric. I hear it's very eye-opening.
