I DON’T THINK I’M GOING TO USE THE NAME, BUT IT EXPLAINS THE WHOLE HISTORY BEAUTIFULLY:  There’s a right name for the “Woke” ideology, and it’s critical constructivism. Critical constructivist ideology is what you “wake up” to when you go Woke.

If you read the whole thread, you’ll see what people are being indoctrinated into through this is actual insanity. Not metaphorical insanity, but real insanity, as in a complete break with reality.

OH, IT’S NOT JUST NOW. THE LEFT HAS BEEN TRYING TO IMPUGN FREE WILL FOREVER:  Free will itself now under assault.

And I had a knock-out drag-out fight on a panel with Robert Sawyer almost 20 years ago, as he was trying to claim everything was predestined. Bah.

THIS SEEMS LIKE A THING SCHOOLS SHOULD DO MORE OF. AND NOT JUST FOR GIRLS. THE GENTLEMAN’S VERSION WOULD ALSO BE OF USE. PERHAPS MORE SO WITH SO MANY SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES:  Charm School for Feral Girls.

WAR IS NOT A GAME. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT OF PROPORTIONALITY. ONLY PEOPLE POISONED WITH STORY WOULD THINK SO:  “Disproportionate”.

I WOULDN’T CALL ANY OF THIS LIBERAL INDIVIDUALISM. IT IS AN ATTEMPT AT TRADITION BY TURNING CURRENT EXCESSES ON THEIR HEAD:  Under the Digital Eye of Sauron.

The opposite of Marxist insanity isn’t reality. It’s just another form of insanity. Humans and human societies are far more complicated than that. Civlilization requires some degree of understanding the past.  This means making an effort to study history and see beyond the Marxist contamination, not merely pretending it was what the Marxists said it was.

WE ARE EMBODIED CREATURES. PHYSICAL RITUALS ARE IMPORTANT TO BRIDGE THE WAY TO WHAT WE CAN’T QUITE CONCEPTUALIZE:  Faith and Ritual.

I think the sixties stripping of ritual and “senseless” tradition, pretty much across the board of most Western religious observation was a grave error and an example of removing Chesterton’s fence. Turned out we hadn’t evolved away from needing it.

PERHAPS BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE TRENCHES? AND WE ALL KNOW ABOUT ATHEISTS IN THE TRENCHES. BUT HIS HYPOTHESIS ALSO WORKS:  The Disappearance of Secularism.
