I guess I was naive. I thought pronouns were just dumb university nonsense like micro aggressions and whatever trendy grievance is popular. No I feel in the next few years we may be forced to list them. And to think less than ten years ago saying that men can’t get pregnant or that gender dysphoria doesn’t make you the opposite sex was accepted fact.
I still say putting your pronouns in a bio is silly.
You seem to believe that their ideas can survive contact with reality.
They won't.
I know where the real power is. The real power in this country is with the aerospace defense lobby, the farm lobby, the energy lobby, and the transportation lobby. I know which side the legislature's bread is buttered on, it's not Davos, it's Bechtel. It's Archer Daniels Midland. It's... Coke and McDonalds, Ford and Boeing. Raytheon. Procter & Gamble. Union Pacific. Hell even Amazon and Microsoft.
I know which side really runs things, and I know their only loyalty is to money. They'll play the token hire game, but they're all committed to the greater greed and I have faith in their commitment to crony capitalism.
The Davos clique is all talk, and Bechtel has never done me any harm other than start foreign wars I'm mildly opposed to.
The people who do harm are the ground level SJWs. The cancel culture. They're the enemy as I see it. But they're an enemy that is geographically focused and can be easily avoided. Hell, it's in my interests to encourage them to continue shitting their own bed.
You seem to have made up your mind that wokeism and the very wealthy people who fund them is of no concern.
The problem with your argument is that all the powerful corporate lobbies you listed are themselves are using the woke identity politics to advance their overarching agenda.
The powerful corporatist agenda is not a separate one from the Davos/World Economic Forum globalist crowd.
We will see what happens soon enough.
You seem to entirely discount the Great Reset and all the open support for it from multiple world leaders.
We will know soon enough if it will truly come to pass or not.
Until then, it seems you will keep insisting that this is no big deal and just don't worry about it.
I vehemently disagree with your assessment based on how some of the largest corporations are using wokeism/identity politics to their advantage.
It is very clear that almost all of these elites want to bring the China model of governance to the west and they will use wokeism as one tool of many in their box to create neo-feudalism.
Your amount of "fuck you money" that you allegedly acquired is blinding you from acknowledging the very real impending threat to all of our freedom that is definitely coming.
And?
You're starting from the assumption that I'm with Locke.
No, fuck Locke, I'm with Hobbes.

I'm perfectly fine with tyranny as long as it comes out to be patriarchal. Which, ultimately, it will, because the lunatic revolutionaries will be purged. I am explicitly an anti-SJW. I have no problem with the erosion of liberty, as long as the right side comes out on top.
A return to tradcuckery cannot happen. We know far too much of what they are to just go back.
Aside from that, do you think our worse halves will just roll over? They'll just give up their ill-gotten gains and accept being ruled over? Of course not. That's fucking absurd.
I'm not fine with tyranny, even if my beliefs win out. Freedom is important, more important than ideology will ever be.
No, I think they'll have menopause and die without reproducing.
I can guarantee you that "the right side" won't come out on top.
You won't be getting a benevolent patriarchal autocracy or benevolent patriarchal oligarchy.
You will be getting the horror of Neo-feudalism under the boot of wealthy corporatists who utterly despise everyone that is not one of their own.
As flawed as the republic we have is, neo-feudalism will be drastically worse by multiple magnitudes.
It seems you and I will never see eye to eye because even though I am completely against wokeism, I will never be for the authoritarianism of corporate neo-feudalism.

The world you're describing is a world where the United States is not intact.
