"Carl Schmitt was committed to the idea of being a Nazi, committed to decisionism and the Führer principle, and committed to the racial ideology. He was the crown jurist of the Third Reich for a reason." -@ConceptualJames

The deep psychology under Woke beliefs is really something worth exploring. Inside Woke beliefs, for example, we see a peculiar fascination with man returning to his sinless prelapsarian state.

Yesterday I was thinking about how the world today so clearly understands that the Iranian people are not the same as the regime. The answer is simple and very heartwarming.
For the past 47 years, every Iranian who fled the country became an ambassador of freedom. Wherever they went, they spoke about the oppression, the cruelty, and the reality of life under the regime to their friends, colleagues, and neighbors. They never stayed silent.
Drop by drop, through thousands of personal conversations, the truth spread.
Ordinary Iranians, with empty hands and no big organization behind them, defeated the regime’s massive propaganda machine, its billions of dollars, its threats, and its total control.
They won simply by telling their stories.
That’s why almost every non-Iranian who truly understands Iran has at least one dear Iranian friend who opened their eyes. I’m convinced this includes people like Trump. His respect and care toward the Iranian people come from real personal conversations with Iranian friends over the years.
Those human connections shaped his view more than any intelligence report ever could.
This is the power of ordinary voices. Persistent, honest, and unstoppable. Don’t underestimate it, @ConceptualJames is right, your contribution matters.
"They will not achieve 'liberation' because liberation from reality is not possible, no matter how self-indulgently miserable and resentful anyone becomes by believing they capital-G Know what they can only pretend to know." -@ConceptualJames

In practice, the concept of racial humility means that white people have an obligation to assume that they do not understand race and racism because they don’t have to understand it, and this is a manifestation and advantage of their white privilege.
