A common refrain back in 2014-16, when many were becoming aware of the mind virus we now call ‘woke’, was that “They’ll learn once they get to the real world.” There was an assumption that the hollowness of their philosophy would collapse in on itself.
Historically, similar dismissals are seen. Socialism and Communism are rightly pointed to as failures for the corruption and despair brought about by them. However, people still turn to them, just as they embrace general ‘wokeness’. Why?
The comforting answer is to just say that they are stupid. To pretend that those who disagree with us do so only for self serving and nearsighted ends. To be sure, there are self serving and nearsighted elements there. But to simply dismiss them therefore is to underestimate them. Ideas don’t stick around in history if they are ONLY abject failures. True, some people will persist in any folly for as long as they can, but there has to be something even to the folly for it to stay more than a decade.
As such, we have to be able to recognize the merits present just as much as the evil. We have to be able to actually understand our enemies and not make the mistake they make of dismissing that which disagrees with them. We have to know them, or else we will continue to make the same mistakes. We need to be able to see and grab the roots.
The greatest mistake the left makes is thinking the right is evil, when they're really just incompetent. The greatest mistake the right makes is thinking the left is incompetent when they're really just evil.
you know how leftists like to call everyone "nazi"? its not just because they are throwing insults around, they actually truly do believe that even normie right wingers are nazis that are just hiding their true nazi thoughts.
I wish. lol.
Ask them where all the Nazi uniforms and swastika t-shirts are. What sort of party member would not proudly wear their party colors? If there's millions of them then they should be easy to spot.
I once triggered someone I know in real life by pointing out that the Nazi party was abolished in 1945. They immediately scolded me and changed their reference from Nazi to "Neo-Nazi."
Won't work. Leftists live in TV world, and in TV world there are literal Nazis around every corner. Showing them the truth in reality is irrelevant to them because they don't exist in reality. You might as well be showing them a parallel dimension.
To be fair, the left is also incompetent on top of being evil.
Only the losers at the bottom that don't have any power anyway.
I suppose, except I've listened to the people at the "top" enough to know that they aren't sending their best for those positions, either.
I never talk to any smart right winger that think the left is incompetent, in fact with how big media even reddit now is left leaning is the sign that the left is winning in most all aspect of life in 1st world countries.
so the big question is when the right wing ideology would make comeback when all movie now is about black and gay and capitalism is bad already conquer everything ?
There is no right and left. The money that runs the left also runs the neo-con right (essentially all of the right). The only people on the right with a different view are not allowed to speak. Elections don't matter. Even if they weren't rigged. It's just varying degrees of jewish progressives running everything.
I agree. Uniparty. There is a right but it's not what any of the politicians represent.
Good one.
"The classroom is a looking glass, showing you the future."
The left has understood this, they have understood this for over a century. That is why one of the first places they infiltrated was schooling, why they built state schools and put them under federal control, why the hate the family and want the state raising your kids.
They'll grow out of it is cope. Some individuals might sure, but that is irrelevant when the societal trend is being pushed towards utter degeneracy by the media, academia and education.
they're not stupid. For example i've seen in leftist forums some are saying to stop the harassment of people playing the harry potter game and they made it clear that it wasn't because they dont agree with the harassers but because they know its bad PR for them.
I’m guilty of saying “they will grow out of it when they enter the real world” going back to 2012
To be fair, it used to be true before 2012. The propaganda has gotten to the point where even adults are inundated by it 24/7. Nobody matures any more because they have Daddy Government keeping them in a mind prison forever.
The root is these people are fucking lazy and stupid. All these philosophies give them power when they get in groups large enough to become threatening. When it comes to the hard work they don't do it, even it serves their philosophy. They force stupid people who are willing to compromise to do it.
There's an element of lazy/stupid in that those people benefit from "equity", but the core problem is they're cowards.
Cowards physically, where dangerous jobs are traditionally conservative. Cowards intellectually, where they censor and live in bubbles. Cowards emotionally, where they see a psychologist over "micro" aggressions. They see the bogeyman everywhere they turn. They're afraid how a garage pull will hurt other people's psyche. Afraid of statues!
I've come to believe the key strategy should be to challenge their cowardice not specific policies.
This will not stop happening. To actively fight against our enemies means taking direct action against women. Conservatives will never do this despite what they say about being anti-woke. Let's face it, women overwhelmingly favour woke feminist trash ideology and conservatives are mostly simps and white knights because they worship the pussy.
Saying "they worship the pussy" is oversimplifying.
They want to be righteous, to sacrifice for what is good. What the woke are extremely good at is both attacking the idea of good and perverting what is good.
There would be nothing wrong with people simping for women if women were righteous. But they're the first to be corrupted by the message of the woke: give up your responsibility but lose none of your privilege.
Men finds meaning in responsibility, so much so that the only way to get them to abandon it is to literally turn them into women. Women, on the other hand, instinctively avoid responsibility (as they should) and instead find meaning in devotion. Right now that devotion is aimed squarely at the hypothetical woke utopia.
What men need to do is take responsibility for women. Stop letting them make decisions to save them from the consequences they are unprepared to handle. Shut down and shame women in politics and on social media who are trying to put forward their ideas, before the "backlash" causes them to have a mental breakdown. It's not misogynist, it's the ultimate kindness.
Which is part of why Conservatism is the enemy too.
Right vs left is Good vs evil.
But at present in the former republic, it is Patriot vs Uniparty, as Republicans and Democrats all fight for the left...
This has been going on for a very long time. People laughed at the hippies in the 60s and didn't take them seriously when they should have. People also said:
"They'll never take prayer out of school." "They'll never take the Ten Commandments out of the courthouse." "They'll never broadcast raunchy programming on TV." "Communism will never take hold in this country." "Pedophilia will never be normalized."
Oh I'm not underestimating them. We are in an uphill battle.
The "conservative" base is split up between people who want the good old 70's, people who just want the current status quo, and people who want to rebuild the whole thing. Meanwhile the enemy is taking ground left and right.
There is no easy way forward. I'm prepared to grit my teeth as my so-called allies turn on me. I'm prepared to be treated as a second-class citizen for my belief. Steel your mind to build your kingdom in a world of degenerates.
I used to think this before I saw what lengths they will go to to construct a false reality. We're dealing with a destructive, potential society-ending delusion that exists only to reinforce itself and be unquestionable. Many of its proponents are the stupidest, least competent people to ever exist, but I no longer underestimate them.
They are dangerous because they are stupid and they think their stupidity is the highest virtue. Intelligence, on the other hand, is a crime that must be eradicated at all costs.
I'm glad the comments aren't arguing against this, a few years ago people would have rejected this idea.
marxism is a religion and should be treated as such.

I used to think they'd grow out of it. But it's obviously not happening.
My best guess as to what's happening this this:
These people get radicalized in college. You're supposed to learn about Marx, and then several others in the following years. But they get hit with the 'but communism was good' and then drop out of college to become activists.
I'm not saying all of them drop out or that they're all like this, but, given the track record of being able to beat them at their own game by having your talk at one of these indoctrination colleges bright and early almost completely stops them from showing up.
They were out being rebels and partying and whatever the night before, and it'd be too early for them to get up and interrupt the talk if it's at 7:30 or 8am.

Let God sort them out.
Look into neuroplasticity and consider the consequences of interfacing with a strictly rigid machine for most of the day.
