When I do a thread about why enlightenment liberalism is better than critical race theory Image
"So you see, Critical Race theorists accept the postmodern worldview, but deny the skepticism of meta-narratives, and they think that gets them off the hook for their postmodernism" Image
"This is why they think they avoid the charge of relativism. Isn't that right @ConceptualJames ?" Image
"That's right Wokal. As Helen and I wrote in Cynical Theories, it was Critical Race Theorist Kimberlee Crenshaw who said intersectionality was a conceptual bridge between postmodern theory and progressive politics." Image

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.

They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.
They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.

 This quote from Chase Strangio (ACLU's transgender lawyer) is a nice example of how the woke left fully adopted the views of the 60's counterculture.
They really believe things like "being trans" are a threat to "the system," and cultural rebellion will lead to revolution. Image
2/
 The woke left and the 1960's counterculture had the same underlying worldview that said the entire culture is a system of ideology that maintains power by brainwashing the masses and socially conditioning people to accept the legitimacy of "the system" and their place in it.
3/
 For this reason they think things like reforming institutions and changing laws are trivial and superficial solutions because they accept the legitimacy of the institutions and rules created by "the system"

For this reason, a much deeper solution is needed...

 There is no split on the right.

Almost all of the MAGA base is with Trump and they support Israel over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Mullah's.

The Israel obsessed crowd and their anti-Semitic fellow travelers are a tiny minority and their influence is a mirage.
2/
 MAGA is 77 million Trump voters, almost none of them care about the ideas of the dissident right (alt-right, woke-right,) online influencers. Trumps base is not turning on him and siding with Iranian Islamic terrorists just so online influencers can own the Israeli's...
3/
 Trump has his own ideas, and makes his own decisions.

The influencers, thinkers, and writers who think they get to set the agenda and use Trump as a vessel to accomplish their own agenda have no ideas what's going on. So let me help everyone out:

Trump Decides.

That's it.

The riots happening in LA are not organic or spontaneous.

They're designed to look chaotic to cover up the fact that they're well funded, exceptionally organized, and carried out by well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.

Here's a primer: Image

Image
Image
2/
 First, notice the protestors have shields (pic 1)

These types of shields were used by the 2024 pro-Hamas rioters (pic 2), and 2020 BLM rioters (pic 3)

Each shield takes 3 hours to make, and activists spend all day making them (pic 4) That's not spontaneous, it takes planning Image
Image
Image
Image
3/
 Those shields are not cardboard signs. They are designed to *look* like cardboard signs.

They're in fact made of plywood and have metal handles (as seen in the pics below). They have a cardboard sign attached to the front to disguise the fact that they're made of wood. Image

In the Trump/Elon dispute Elon represents fiscal reality, Trump represents Political reality.

Elon knows the Unite States is headed toward financial collapse caused by its debt, Trump knows voters will never accept the spending cuts and tax hikes needed to solve the debt crisis.
Elon is correct that the United States 36 TRILLION dollar debt will eventually crush the American economy and eat it's budget.

Trump is correct that voters will never accept the tax hikes or spending cuts (especially social security and medicare cuts) needed to pay off the debt.
Elon is saying "The financial crisis is coming. Either we deal with it now or we will deal with the financial collapse of the American economy."

Trump is saying "We can only do what is politically possible. Voters refuse to elect congressmen who will make large cuts to spending"

I think society is returning to the desert of the real.

The social narratives which animated people's lives have lost their power and are dying, and the counter-movements they spawned will (eventually) die alongside them.

We are now living in a decaying hyper-reality...
Baudrillard said we're so saturated in representations and images from mass media (T.V., Movies, books, social media, etc) that images become more salient to us and matter more then the real world, so artificial representations become more "real" to us then actual reality itself.
The result, says Baudrillard is that what feel real to us, what feel immediately important, salient, and meaningful to us is whatever emerges from the ecosystem of artificial, curated, simulated, and manufactured representations produced by the vehicles of mass communication.
