Woke Gleichschaltung

What is Woke Gleichschaltung?

You probably know the answer to that question, although you may not realise it.

Paraphrasing from Wikipedia…

‘The term Gleichschaltung was the process by which the Nazi Party successively established a system of totalitarian control over all aspects of German society, from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture, and education. Gleichschaltung was, by one authoritative account, “Consolidation. All of the German Volk's social, political, and cultural organizations to be controlled and run according to Nazi ideology and policy. All opposition to be eliminated.”’

In short, Gleichschaltung was the process by which the Nazi Party ‘Nazified’ Germany.

Sound familiar?

Just as the Nazis Nazified Germany in the 1930s, the Wokes have set out to Woke-ify the West today.

And like the Nazis again, they’ve gotten off to a very good start. Schools, universities, corporates, news media, the police, the civil service, museums…are there any institutions left to be Woke-ified?

Perhaps that comparison seems unlikely. If Nazism comes from the far right and Wokism comes from the far left, how could ideologies from opposite ends of the political spectrum be so similar in their methods and desires?

The simple answer is that they are both totalitarian ideologies, and all totalitarians are the same. Whether Nazi, Marxist, Maoist, or Woke, the ultimate goal is always the total appropriation of society’s institutions and organisations, and thereby the total control of the people and their lives.

So it was inevitable that Nazi and Woke tactics would overlap, as would their demands, their justifications, and their aggressive responses to any kind of opposition.

For totalitarians to succeed, even the mildest critics must be silenced and purged.

And for that very reason, it is essential that we speak up and call it out.

In this thread I will present some of the key events in the rise of the Nazi ideology in Germany in the 1930s, and draw parallels between that period of history and the rise of the Woke ideology over the last decade in the West.

The thread will cover flags, fires, oaths of allegiance, purges of dissenters, the manipulation of language, knee-jerk legislation targeting opposition groups, state-sponsored propaganda, and above all, control: control of thoughts, words, ideas, and outcomes.

The goal is to expose the Wokes for what they truly are – an angry, perverted, totalitarian hate mob that is rightly comparable to the Nazis.

To do that, we first need to understand their motivations, identify the flaws and weaknesses of their ideology, and warn about what might be coming in the years ahead. With that information we can prepare ourselves accordingly.

This is a very important and increasingly urgent matter. Whether Nazi or Woke, we cannot afford to underestimate the totalitarian’s willingness to destroy what they cannot control – even if it means destroying themselves and everyone else in the process.

Gleichschaltung

Gleichschaltung is one of those compound words you often come across in German.

‘Gleich’ means same and ‘schaltung’ means shift or circuit. When the two words are combined they create a new word and a new concept, one which doesn’t have a direct translation in English.

In 1930s Germany, Gleichschaltung referred to the control of all aspects of German life – education, work, religion, politics, culture, sport, art – and their reorientation to serve Nazi goals.

It was through Gleichschaltung that the Nazis were able to turn Germany into a single party state.

The term originated in electrical engineering where it meant ‘rectification’, but the Nazis appropriated the word (as they did with so many things) and applied it in a social context to mean something more like ‘synchronisation’ or ‘co-ordination’.

The idea was that, just as the switches on a circuit board could be co-ordinated by one master switch, so too the people in a society could be brought into line through one master ideology – ‘ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer’.

And if the people could be switched on, then of course, they could be switched off too. Ausschaltung was a related term which referred to the exclusion from civil society of those who refused to comply with the Nazi’s social, political, and racial ideologies.

All totalitarian regimes need ways to impose their ideologies on the people, and they all need ways to eliminate those who will not conform. On this, the Nazis and the Wokes are no different.

The Wokes demand ‘allyship’ (or at the very least, silent acquiescence), and they will ‘cancel’ you if they think you pose a threat.

The use of the word ‘ally’ shows that they see this as a war, with victory over their enemy as their ultimate goal, while ‘cancel’ is the modern, online euphemism for eliminate, unperson, or purge.

The words are different, but their motivations and intentions are the same: you are either with us or against us; you will submit to our Gleichschaltung or we will destroy you.
(All done in the name of kindness, compassion, and safety of course!)

It’s also important to note that Nazi Gleichschaltung did not work through top-down enforcement – that would be to confuse the order of things.

Nazi Gleichschaltung permeated every nook and cranny of society before it took control of the state.

It infiltrated workers unions, football clubs, veteran’s organisations, even choirs and gardening associations. Children’s clubs were incorporated into Hitler youth. Churches began to fly the swastika flag.

Once the Nazis controlled society, taking control of the government was a formality.

““There was no more social life,” growled a German from Lower Saxony, “you couldn’t even have a bowling club [that was not] co-ordinated.”

It’s beginning to feel that way in Ireland. It seems like nothing is free of the Woke Gleichschaltung.

Universities are run on Woke principles. Schools teach feminist propaganda. Corporates demand oaths of allegiance to ‘diversity and inclusion’. Public sector buildings are draped in the rainbow flag. News media spew hate at anyone who dares question Woke dogma.

Nationalists are forced to hide their true identity on social media for fear of reprisal – just as the Jews and communists were in Nazi Germany.

Ireland’s institutions have been ‘brought in line’. Irish society has been ‘co-ordinated’.

And like Nazi Germany again, the infiltration and corruption took place quietly in the background, without anyone noticing, until it was too late.

The madness was normalised, now sanity is the crime.

Speaking of buildings draped in flags – and remembering that it is the Holy Month of Pride – we'll talk about the rainbow flag next, because it might be the clearest demonstration of Woke Gleichshaltung in our society, and the closest parallel between the Nazis and the Wokes.

Flag Gleichschaltung

The most visible demonstration of Woke Gleichschaltung in Irish society, and one of the most obvious parallels with the Nazis, is their use of flags.

The Nazis loved their flags and banners. They especially loved their swastika flag (and its many variations) and it was ubiquitous in German society.

The swastika was a historic and culturally universal symbol (ironically) representing good luck, prosperity, and well-being. Hitler’s swastika promised the same for Germany, and the German people loved it!

And of course they did – who could possibly object to good fortune and prosperity? 🤨

The Wokes also like to express themselves with their flags. They have quite a few of them too, but it is the rainbow flag (and its many variations) that has become the standard of the global Woke movement.

The rainbow flag represents diversity and love, and each of the individual colours has a meaning too: life, healing, sunlight, nature, serenity, etc. Isn’t that nice?

And again, who could possibly object to such sweet and compassionate sentiments? (Only a hateful person 😠)

Perhaps the most important characteristic shared by the Woke rainbow and Nazi swastika flags, is that they represent particular groups and factions within a society, but not the society itself.

The swastika flag represented Nazism and the Nazi Party, not Germany or the German people. Similarly, the rainbow flag represents Wokism and its cult of followers, but Wokism itself has no natural constituency; it is pure ideology (and a foreign ideology to boot).

And maybe the lack of an organic foundation to their schemes explains the zealotry and obsessiveness with which they demand we accept their flags. Like the Player Queen, the Wokes doth protest too much, methinks.

*

Just as the Nazis flew their swastika flag from every building, bicep, and lamppost, so too have the Wokes coated our society in rainbows and colours.

It used to be that the rainbow flag was flown from gay/lgbt venues, or at certain times of the year e.g. ‘Pride Day’.

But then Pride Day became Pride Week, and then Pride Week became Pride Month. Then to Pride Month was added a plethora ‘visibility’ days and weeks, so now it appears that the whole Summer has become something of a Pride Season.

With a lack of clarity around the exact start and end dates of this season, the rainbow flags went up, but they never came down.

And partly this was because no one wanted to take them down. Or rather, no one wanted to be seen taking them down. Why risk the inquisition that would surely follow? ('Why are you taking down the flag? Don't you like it? I didn't know you were a transphobe.' 😠)

While Pride Day was transitioning into Pride Season, the Woke ideology was quietly spreading in the background, creeping into more and more of our institutions and social structures.

Universities, schools, news media, businesses, the civil service… as each institution was infiltrated and eventually fell to Woke ideology, the increasingly bullish Woke activists plastered their flags all over their buildings.

But nothing is ever enough for totalitarians, and a few (hundred) buildings were never going to satisfy them. Now it seems that every vacant surface in society – physical and digital – must be brought into line.

You’ll see office workers wearing rainbow coloured lanyards, which display rainbow coloured corporate logos (but only in some countries!). Product advertisements comply with Woke 'diversity' principles. Web pages and email signatures declare fealty to Woke ideology. Pedestrian crossings, buses, police cars, and even policemen’s faces have been branded by the Wokes.

Bit by bit, the rainbow flag took more and more territory, and it stayed up for longer, until it eventually became omnipresent in society. Almost as if it was a permanent fixture.

But remember: this is a foreign flag!

It is not a flag of Ireland and it does not represent the Irish people. The rainbow flag represents a faction within our society who are supporters of a foreign ideology – one which is actively hostile to our nation – yet it is flown everywhere, often at the expense of our own.

*

The flag has always been a symbol of identity, but it is also one of domination. When armies win a battle, one of their first acts will always be to fly their standard from the nearest flag pole for all to see. It signals victory and control, and that’s what the Woke flag game is really about.

The Wokes obsessively plaster their flags on every available surface because it’s the their way of letting you know that this is their territory, they are in charge, and you’d better get in line.

They will say that they need to see the flag to make themselves feel safe, but that suggestion is preposterous. How could a flag provide safety to anyone? If a ‘transphobe’ wants to kill you, a flag on the front door won’t stop him. (If anything, it makes his job easier because he’ll know where to find you.)

No, this has nothing to do with physical safety. This is about ideological safety. It’s a sign to the Wokes that they control the establishment and that they will never have to tolerate any disagreeable opinions and/or experience any unpleasant emotions.

Equally, it’s a warning to those who don’t accept the Woke ideology that they should keep their mouths shut.

But if the only way you can 'feel safe' is by making others feel too scared to speak, then there’s nothing noble or compassionate in what you’re doing – you’re just another tyrant.

*

The omnipresence of Woke flags in Irish society is the most visible demonstration of the Woke cult’s totalitarian ambitions and the authoritarian methods they will use to achieve them. In this, they are no different to the Nazis – another tyrannical hate mob seeking to enforce their ideology on everyone and everything, and to silence all dissenters.

With all that said, the flag is still just the superficial symbol of Wokism. For a case study in the practice of Woke Gleichschaltung – how it can take over and corrupt our institutions – let’s consider life on a university campus…

Ireland at a Turning Point

Well…

There’s a lot going on in Ireland these days, as you well know. Mostly not for good.

When we globalised our society in the '90s, we thought it meant higher incomes, cheap foreign holidays, and more consumer products. And it did, for a while.

20 years on, we can see that a globalised Ireland also means open-borders, international terrorism, international organised crime, pandemics, cyber attacks, homelessness, and a loss of the sovereignty our national heroes fought and died to win.

When we globalised the returns, we didn't realise that we were also globalising the risks, and the global risks are a lot more dangerous than the local ones we were used to.

And now we are paying a heavy price for it.

The nation is suffering. It is being weakened from within and without, and in this vulnerable state a fifth column of creeps, quislings, and opportunists has formed to take advantage of it.

You’d have to say they’ve been very successful too.

They have infiltrated our schools, our universities, our workplaces, our media and government. Even our museums and charities have become tools of foreign influence.

The only thing they haven’t corrupted, so far, is the ballot box.

They have taken a lot of ground for sure, but the war has only just begun. We’ve had some wins recently, and we have built some momentum too, but there is a long way to go and a lot of work to do.

In this thread I’ll address some of the main challenges facing the nation; the key battles and the likely battlegrounds – migration, Covid-19, Neoliberalism, and Wokism.

This is not a complete list of our troubles, nor is it an authoritative account – you'd need a bookshelf for that.

But while the challenges we face may be big and complex, the solution in all cases is clear and simple – nationalism.

Red blooded nationalism. Red headed nationalism. Youngfella nationalism. Auldfella nationalism. Green, white, and orange on every building, bus stop, and bog door nationalism

A new #FullyIrish nationalism that will inspire the nations of Europe to rise up, take their countries back, and by doing so, put a final end to the Woke Neoliberal globalist era.

And then we’ll have a session 🥳🍻 🤪

(and then we’ll probably go back to fighting amongst ourselves because we’re Irish and it’s just the way we are 🤷‍♂️)

That’s the plan anyway. Details below.

2 Migration
3 Covid-19
4 Neoliberalism
5 Wokism
6 Nationalism
7 The Turning Point
8 Outro

Migration

Migration is the issue of the day.

It’s no wonder.

We opened the floodgates, and then we got flooded.

No one should be surprised by the harm this has done to the Irish nation, nor the Irish people’s opposition to further dilution of their national culture and native rights.

The floodgates were there for a reason.

The overpopulation of the island has been the cause of one catastrophe after another, from the housing and homelessness crises, to the exhaustion of our public services and national resources, to the violence and criminality flowing over our borders and into our neighbourhoods and communities.

Sickening crimes that were unheard of 30 years ago have become commonplace. So too the activities of international organised crime groups who have comfortably established themselves in Ireland – Lithuania heroin dealers, Albanian traffickers, Nigerian fraudsters, Romani thieves, etc.

As more foreigners of all kinds pour into the country, increasing numbers of Irish people are being trapped overseas because Ireland is quite literally full and they can’t afford to come home. They are being joined by yet another generation of young Irish who had to emigrate to see a decent life.

These crimes are all a direct result of the establishment’s de facto open-border policy, and they are all easily stopped too – the solution is simple and obvious – but neither the politicians nor the media wants to recognise the elephant in the room, much less do anything about it.

When the tap is on full blast and the sink is overflowing, you don’t need a bigger sink. You don’t need more towels for soakage. You don’t need to set up committees or working groups or citizens’ assemblies to explore the options. You only need to do the simple, obvious thing: turn off the fucking tap.

If Ireland controlled immigration, the housing and homelessness crises would immediately start to ease, and they would both be over within a few years.

Crime, hospital overcrowding, waiting lists of all kinds, and the costs of the asylum scam would fall too. We’d then have more time to build our communities and more space to live our lives.

The fact that the sink continues to overflow and that there is no end in sight to any of these crises is due to the incompetence, the dishonesty, and the cowardice of the Irish establishment – the politicians, the media, and the ‘experts’ – traits which are deeply-ingrained and almost universal among them.

The sad truth is that the Irish establishment are little more than kids playing grown-ups. They are posers and shapers managing their images in the media; actors saying their lines for the audience.

Ireland’s leaders aren't trying to solve these, or any of our problems. They just want to be celebrities, and they are willing to sacrifice the nation to achieve it.

It will take several more years before a critical mass of Irish people are aware of (or willing to admit) the full scale of the depravity and destruction being done to the nation by these soulless attention-seekers and their ruinous open-border agenda.

But, we are getting there.

It is to the credit of the many Irish nationalists on Twitter and beyond who are working on this issue that we are making progress. We should all be grateful to them for their efforts, and we should look to pick up the slack wherever we can.

Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic was the worst national catastrophe in generations, perhaps since the Famine.

It damaged every part of the nation’s physical, economic, and social infrastructure, as well as every individual human being living on the island, for several years.

It cost us thousands of lives, billions in debt, pushed viable business into bankruptcy, and forced so many people to watch their loved die through a window.

The costs on our children’s education and well-being are incalculable, but very real.

So too is the damage done to the nation’s mental health.

There are tens of thousands of people in this country now suffering from some form of psychological trauma as a result of what they were forced to endure during the pandemic (whether they realise it or not) and those wounds will take years to heal, if ever at all.

Unlike the Famine however, the Covid-19 pandemic was not the result of misfortune or the maliciousness of an external overlord against which we were powerless to act. This catastrophe resulted from layers of failures, over years, across every part of our nation’s institutional structure.

Our political leaders failed to prepare in the many years in advance.
Our policy-makers in the health service failed to respond competently in the moment.
Our tenured academics failed to speak the truth and alert society to their mistakes.
Our media failed to produce objective reporting, investigate policy decisions, or make any attempt to hold any of these groups to account.

Every layer of the Irish establishment failed.

Those responsible for this catastrophe had 20+ years to prepare for this event and to put the necessary protections in place. They received decades of warnings from the experts, from the professionals, and even from Mother Nature herself.

They were warned so many times that it was coming, and even when it arrived, they ignored the risks until it was too late to do anything about it.

They were too scared, too clueless, too busy posing and saying their lines to realise that this was a serious problem, and that it was their job to solve it.

So instead of doing the jobs they have volunteered for and fulfilling their responsibilities to the rest of society, what did they do?

Every single one of these institutions blamed the people.

They blamed us for the spread for the virus, for not wearing masks, for not getting injected, for enjoying ourselves, and for whatever else displeased Tony & NPHET and made them look bad.

The establishment failed us, and then they blamed us. That was the story of the pandemic in Ireland.

The Covid-19 inquiry is our last chance to salvage something from this wreckage.

I take it for granted that every one of these criminals will get away scot-free. What matters is that we can learn as much as possible about what did and what did not happen so that we can make sure a catastrophe like this never happens again.

When we have the facts, then we can hold those responsible to account.

That accountability will not come directly from the inquiry itself, but once the information is in the public domain, the Irish people can take matters into their own hands.
