He assumed you were naive and this percieved ignorance of you was enough justification to cast his ego and project it on to you. This is how I know I have successfully defined woke and they haven't.
You are an athiest/agnostic and I am a staunch believer in God. Yet I would trust you Billy with my life and my wallet over Joel. Because without getting into what God is, you and I both understand we use reason to inform our intuition. On this plane of awareness, we resonate as subjective beings despite our different dispositions. You understand one can become unreasonable if your desire for reason outstrips your reasoning.
Its incredible how many sound guys in music and entertainment production on the backlines and backend understand this balancing act regardless of disposition. We can only do the job because we are innately and intuitively aware of our limitiations, constantly being humbled by some wayward cable or gotcha that are literal and metaphorical show stopperd. And sometimes even praying/hoping a supposed fix will deliver us from inevitability and apocalypse, for the duty at hand is simply the show must go on.
Sometimes it is a hail mary that is reason enough to keep things workings. "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"
Yeah you tried and failed otherwise you wouldn't be on your back foot like you are now.
"wokeness is a postmodern movement to upend truth and establish man as the arbiter of his own truth."
Do you believe facts are purely objective or they are subjective expressions of objective reality? Do you believe you can know objective reality through reason?
Reason is why Ayn Rand fell flat on her face. She prioritized reason as supreme and demphasized intuition to appear more "reasonable". Completely negating the subjective self to become "more objective". In the process she turned Objectivism into a cult and became woke through reason rather than manifestation. She dived head first into uppers and amphetamines to overcome the cognitive dissonance that comes from denying the self and it's limitations. Thats the thing about Satan's horns, you can get them through not having discipline or way too much.
Knowing what I know about you, you discount the subjective as "arbiter for your own truth". If this reasoning goes on long enough one can conclude freewill is a sin and its appreciation is satanic, even though free will is God's greatest gift to us, how we are made in his image and our thin thread that allows us to feel his presence. What about the fact the law is written on all men's hearts? This is why we can't kill the retarded or ignorant, even if they live in Gaza or practice the Jewish faith. They don't need reason to prove to you why they are worthy to live and not be agressed upon. The "reasonable" types often confuse a child's faith for being naive then turn around and justify this as a means to punish those who "should know better".
Acknowleding the subjective nature of value and the human condition is not to claim man is his own God.
Acknowledging our limitations is not a weakness or surrender. Renunciation of ego, giving judgement over to God, is literally how we come closer to God and accept his grace without needless sacrifice of our freewill. Understanding how the subjective benefits the individual and mankind is not a claim that man is his own God. Infact it is our ignorance that enables freewill and not give into fate. If we knew too much we would likely kill ourselves.
It is only through renunication of ego do we come closer to God. This means ego and Satan's manifestations can be made of reason or unexamined desire. Even if the desire is to appear reasonable.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing you he doesn't exist. The sad thing about ego is we can never get rid of it. I have seen countless well intentioned people kill their ego with reason or desire and then rise from the ashes even more egotistical than before because they have their reasons or desires to. I have seen this in pagans, Christians, atheists, hippies, etc. No one is immune to it other than those who are permentantly suspended in a child's faith like those with mental deficiencies. The ego is a serpent that we must constantly step on to tame. You will never be rid of it, no matter your reasoning or your faith or your intentions or your science or your cunning, etc.
The reason why Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest stories ever made is because Tolkein introduced a archetype that was the first of its kind and the most important for us to understand in our modern day. That is the archetype of the addict. Gollum had his desires and reasons to justify his obsession. He didn't want to use it either to imprison others, but his addiction and calling it precious is a statement to what woke is in its essence.
As a test when I tell people what woke is I segway the convo to LOTR and ask them who they think the main character is. It isn't Frodo, it's Gollum.
Woke is the belief/assumption that possession of knowledge is in of itself a virtue, the corollary being ignorance is a sin. Ultimately resulting in not being able to distinguished innocence from sin because the innocent are that way because they to "don't know better."
@RealCandaceO must be a fan of my work!
Funny thing though is as much as she rightfully points to Freemasons. The Catholic Church is no better. They tried to beat the Masons at their own game, just like Hitler and so many others. And they lost. Because ultimately what freemasonry is, is a full ritualistic outward expression and enforcement of ego. Its a language of power that communicates in symbols, not words, and a conspiracy of incentives. Anybody who took on the Freemasons would eventually pull the curtain back to see the man standing behind it, only to be presented with a mirror. Arriving at their own reflection, realizing they are no different.
It is for this reason the Jesuits, Knights of Malta, the Freemasons, etc. have made amends in the last few years. After hundreds of years of being sworn enemies these groups buried the hatchet.
I wouldn't trust the church either if you don't trust the freemasons.
Go ahead, Candace, tell us about freemasonry w/o telling us the Jesuits wrote the Scottish Rite & all masonic orders serve the Pope. Tell us about Adam Weisaupt/the illuminati w/o telling us he was a Jesuit & the illuminati was created due to the Jesuit suppression in 1773
Libertarians needs to go back to asserting ideas not trying to defend words and lexicons. A lot of libertarians identify with their "herd" by their Zebra stripes. Essentially a lot of libertarian factions are simply like personality types. Each one desiring to appear more "reasonable" then the next. Endless debate about semantics and hypotheticals.
Whether you are genuinely curious or if you are playing dumb to troll does not matter. Either way what I will say will help you understand.
Libertarians have strong intuition. There are those who navigate inside the system able to intuitively assert libertarian ideas, still retain their status and reputation, within the language game of "the system."
The other kind of libertarian is the outsider. The person whose intuition drove them out of the tribe where they walked the deserts of isolation. Being forced to confront their desire to be understood by the tribe. After enough of this isolation, they have their "vision" and come back to the agora to engage with the tribe to speak to their new insights.
Their intuition has been built up, and their confidence is from sheer self-resilience. The issue though is this kind of libertarian does not use the lexicon of the "system". They are not anti-social, but their way of communication is not normative to bureaucrats and "reasonable" company.
Two strong sources of intuition that lead to two kinds of libertarians.
The reason why a number of libertarians rejected you is because many libertarians were rejected by the tribe because of covid. You however did not understand that many of these people had now formed a new lexicon to operate outside of the propaganda and abuses of covid.
They were exiled to the desert and came back with a intuition that you could not resonate with because you still used rhetoric that appealed to the system you prided yourself on navigating and coming to terms with. Other libertarians heard your rhetoric and at best assumed you were naive and at worst deceptive. Despite your intentions you did not sound like someone who understood what people went through with covid.
Obama's sudden rise meant every person who desired power started mimicking him. When I went to work in DC I was surprised at how many people tried to sound like Obama. His oratory skills were top notch for bureaucrats and navigating the system. It was almost entrancing to them. You have a similar delivery, again intentional or not, just like the way Obama talks. Not being direct enough. To worried about being mean and end up not saying anything meaningful. Obama was very good at talking for a long time without saying anything of substance. So when people say you sounded like Obama they literally mean it.
Many libertarians (and the American populace as a whole) just got their ass handed to them from covid and were immediately suspicious of anyone who essentially talked like Obama. Because it was those types who condoned Covid lockdowns and assumed would repeat the same mistakes. Cato did this and didn't say shit on Covid and now they are a laughingstock.
The reason I can say this so confidently is because I have been on both sides of this. I worked in DC as a libertarian and could talk the talk, but just barely. I was direct enough being in IT that it pissed a lot of "reasonable" people off because I wasn't as invested into trying to get power. I didn't sound like or try to sound like Obama essentially. I wasn't playing pretend at the same level everyone else was.
Then some of the people I consider friends in the fight for liberty isolate and ostracize me when I criticized woke back in 2014. Turned on a dime on me. Tom Palmer accused me of being a Russian agent after I pointed out the stupidity of the allegations of Russian Collusion and hackers getting into Podesta emails. I actually work in IT and knew wtf I was talking about. I politely rejected Palmers assertions and he accused me of being a Russian agent.
I also got isolated during covid lockdown and had my life ruined. The place I was glad to be a part of Cato excused covid policies and vaccines. One of my heroes David Boaz couldn't have any courage to do what was right. At this point I had shed my beltway libertarian skin and was no longer disappointed by being rejected by the beltway. I was thanking God he made me look like that much of a crazy asshole to these people and not cunning enough I couldn't find success in DC.
The reason why I noticed the language of the bureaucrat was essentially trying to sound like Obama is because I took speech and oratory classes to overcome a speech impediment. I perceive speech on a level most people do not because their ability to talk comes naturally to them and I had to put intention behind mine. I can tell in a few minutes if someone took speech classes and if they are acting because of this. I was very aware of the techniques Obama used. Just about everyone in DC I ran into had decided to do the same. Felt like DC was Obama Cult city. I was surprised how many were not aware they did this. They simply mimicked because they wanted authority and the top authority was Obama. Obama being such a hypnotist turned DC into a house of mirrors.
Again whether you were deceptive or not does not matter. I'm explaining casualty and how I see it. I'm one of the few libertarians that has seen both sides of the libertarian fence.
As much as you disagree with Trump you cannot deny his brazen New York accent and direct nature was completely opposite of Obama. People who voted for Trump, conservative libertarian or even some democrats, did not want to vote for anyone that sounded like Obama, literally and figurately. Anyone who sounded like that asshole was immediately suspect of being a creature of the system that exiled them and has alienated them. You, by sounding like Obama rhetorically, shot yourself in the foot. It didn't matter what your ideas were, how reasonable or intuitive they were. You literally sounded like Obama.
The picture in this post I took is the day Soros came to speak at Cato. He is a fan of Hayek supposedly and this event was to honor Hayek. I was outside smoking a cigarette and Soros was heading back to the hotel after the event. A woman smoking a cigarette with me threw her cigarette to the ground and she whipped out a recorder saying she was from the New York Times. Soros stopped to listen to her question. Her question? What Soros thought about Trump running for president. Soros flew into a rage and almost backhanded this woman until his Mossad security guard shoo'd her away. I had seen hours of interviews with Soros. He has a reputation for staying cool, but hearing Trump's name made him fly into a rage. This was 2011.
This rivalry between Soros and Trump has gone back years. Trump knew exactly how to counter people that sounded like Obama and it was because they were trained by Soros. In 2011 I saw with my own eyes a glimpse of this bitter rivalry. Soros, a man who was directly asked about his role in selling out Jews and how this made him rich, which he answered without any emotion, couldn't control himself when hearing Trump's name.
Why do I type this all up? I really wish libertarians of all stripes could get along. But because of our high intuitions that made us libertarians, we can smell bullshit artists in our day-to-day life. It made us survive the bureaucracy. So when getting into the marketplace of ideas, we find like-minded people through the lexicon they use. These lexicons and language games is essentially what each flavor of libertarianism is. You being a "centrist" did not matter because you sounded like Obama. In response the "reasonable" libertarians are responding to Trump fans with the desire to "purge" them. Diving into desires for revenge and getting even.
I say all this so you libertarians would get over yourselves and get along. Many of you largely agree with each other, but because how you trained your strong intuitions is so different you guys are paranoid of each other. You shouldn't of been a centrist. You should of abandoned the left/right paradigm. You should have been creative. You should have been a storyteller.
Knowledge is power is storytelling.
Also fuck George Soros.

Its woke vs woke.
The woke whose modus operandi is reason and the woke whose modus operandi is manifestation.
Woke being the belief that knowledge is virtuous in of itself. That it is not simply a means to virtue, that knowledge and it's "possession" is inherently virtuous.
The fascists are "manifesting" the purification of corruption caused by what they call liberalism. Its really egalitarianism and Marxism, but the occult esotericism of getting even/equal to God is inherently assumed in fascism to. They want Marxism without the degeneracy.
They are manifesting by way or reading older texts and thinking "really hard" on the notions of purity. It doesn't have to be racist or anything. They want to purify the human collective like purifying the substance of a potion. Marxism makes the potion still and fascism purifies it.
In psychological terms they are responding to dark side of ego with what they think is the "light side".
This back and forth of ego is what drives this madness. Both sides leading the charge are zionists and postliberals all advocating for their different alchemy to stir the potion. Both sides claiming to be the true followers of Christ and other forms of Truth™. They do this because their knowledge grants them the virtue. When the possession of knowledge is considered virtuous the flip side is the possession of ignorance becomes a sin.
When Marxism inevitably fails and the inevitable reaction is to purge it of corruption. Corruption on a individual level being "sin", the qualification to be purged always falls back to "ignorance". The line between ignorance and innocence becomes indistinguishable.
Leading to the same reason why Marxism and Fascism commits genocides and what makes them woke. The "possession" of knowledge. This action/reaction cycle goes by many names of course and the incentives is never ideals. It boils down to ego. The desire to get even to get revenge against God and him burdening with ignorance and freewill. The desire to control others freewill is a deep hatred for the freewill they have in themselves.
I know you may not understand this because you were seduced by ego to justify the slaughter of Gazan citizens and other innocents. It doesnt matter if it classifies as a genocide. What I just outlined is the same justification throughout history how the innocent people get killed in the tug of war both sides of woke engages in. To be like Christ and reject Satan is to reject ego and to reject the desire to get even or revenge with God.
What are they planning and how long have they been planning it? Why does one get the feeling their plans don’t involve popular support or consent of the governed? Why do some of them on X promise they will kill me once they take power?
The Colville reservation I live near by definitely fits the bill. It really does depend on the reservation. Each on operates differently. There are ones where everything is decided by comittee, even changes to your personal property. Obviously those would be a headache. Maybe if the proposal includes building a casino ontop of the datacenter? Lol
@IPostAndGhost Yes! Although the main issue is their infrastructure is shit. The roads affects the integrity of the servers. When I worked for Amazon they repaved numerous roads because the potholes would shake the servers and the card and motherboards inside shaving metal off contacts.
@RoodBoiBased By "libertarian" I mean those who operate from a presumption of liberty rather than permission, so individualist anarchists are included. I am an anarchist as well.
@RoodBoiBased Yep most libertarians are. They are intuitively aware of who, what and why they are the way they are. Becomes pretty difficult to be defined by others who try to be subversive and underhanded.
This works really well if the person is in the discussion to win as a game. They are ego driven and chasing a carrot of being the "reasonable" one. You feed them a carrot so they get infront of your stick. This only works if your intentions are true and theirs is not. The best thing anyone can do is figure out as fast as possible if someone is genuine in their views or if they have those views as a means for domination. Once you realize they don't examine their own desires you can lead them by the nose and disarm them before they realize it has happened.
The Federal government exists to protect its dominion. A system is designed to do what it does, right? So why would they insist on humiliating conservatives and libertarians for the past 50 years? One word.
Militias.
The Federal government tells you who they consider their biggest threats, but they "conceal" this information in their white papers. Consistently the number one cited domestic threat the government has been worried about is not anti-fa, eco-terrorists, religious extremists or even Communists. It has been consistently militias. They don't announce themselves like the others. Its why the FBI and other agencies focus so intently on them.
They need anti-fa and the left to create the dialectics and distract the people from realizing the power ultimately lies with them. Fancy letterheads, ornate symbols and beautiful buildings do not constitute a government or even power.
The Trump government could have used Charlie Kirk’s assassination to annihilate antifa, the Far Left and kneecap the DSA.
Now, the same Leftist garbage that openly celebrated his horrific murder will be the sole beneficiaries since Kirk was eliminated & the Right devoured itself
First time in a month the smoke has cleared from the skies and I was able to finally take a breath of fresh air. And then the rain has come to wash away the ash and dust to rejuvenate the landscape.
Today is a good day.
Its masonic theater. The most caustic, arrogant and ethnocentric ones are promoted as a catalyst and irritant then made out to be representive of the whole. They function as a lighting rod to stand as tall as possible and catch people's gaze as it attracts kinetic energy to be then funneled down into the foundations. All the while people remained focused on the steeple and not the structure as a whole. As above, so below. They want people focused on the "frontlines" and not the king observing the field from the back. This has been a unspoke agreement since the construction of the first temple.
