Let us get our heads in the right place.

You may think that Woke culture is just about anti-discrimination, but Woke culture is rooted in authoritarian control, as it is rooted in victimhood.

The same methods deployed by the spread of woke culture fuelled the rise of slavery, Nazism, China's control of Uyghurs, and Big Tech control of the dialogue, perfectly facilitated and weaponized by social media. Even China's policy of moral disarmament is strongly comparable to woke culture, in terms of methodology. Let's explore:

China are the experts on silence

Sun Tzu's Art of War observes that perception of power has a power of its own and that the most elegant defeat is the one incurred by the moral disarmament of the enemy...

In short, Xi Jinping's command group must be aware that many windows are closing for it and that time is not on their side unless they can persuade the Free World to self-harm sufficiently that we disarm morally. For this, there is evidence of intent and, unfortunately, of current success...

Ghost attack is described thus in two stages: Stage One: Commit non-attributable, or feasibly deniable, acts of war that advance your own national power and physically harm your adversaries, but do not fit traditional legal standards to mobilize them to a formal response. Stage Two: Then foment chaos, advance the narrative of your innocence, and underline your adversary's incompetence through information warfare.

What is the link between China, Slavery, Woke culture, and Nazi Germany?

Very few people saw what was coming with the rise of Nazi Germany and those that could be in the minority, could see it but everyone around them was tragically wrong. These people have already seen enough to reject it. It was NOT the masses that took down the resulting tyranny in the Gulags, it was a few extraordinarily strong people who would not conform to the system.

Victimhood and method.

Woke culture derives its power and moral high ground from those that adopt the victim persona and the defence of that as the only opinion that matters, providing the ideal platform to attack and broaden the woke agenda. Yet psychologically, victimhood is the unhealthiest perspective to take because it conveniently drives blame and externalises responsibility and stasis. Defending these victims is central to woke strategy as well as using the platform to pursue their broader agenda to undermine society. Victimhood was the tool used by the Nazis blaming the Jews or Woke culture routing out ill-gotten gains or racism, when in fact they are creating a cast of woke vs non woke which is far more sinister and pervasive.

The woke power is derived by attacking those as being amoral for not supporting these victims levelling subjective accusations and mobbing on social media. This leaves those that have a moral backbone and courage in the firing line for challenging the patently absurd associate strategies such as banning the word mother and replacing it with the word birthing partner.

Marginalising people in this way leaves them without support from their friends – driving real fear.

The dialogue is transmitted on social media and then unwittingly manipulated, leaving large corporations and even the UK Government in fear of being criticised if they do not pander to the woke culture of taking the knee in solidarity of Black Lives Matter and following the control of speech. Surely, this is a sinister act of total submission and overruling, which distracts from the very reality that ALL lives matter.

The thing about controlling speech is that humans must align their beliefs to cope, so controlling speech manipulates beliefs. This is known as Cognitive Dissonance and is not far off the concept of the dystopian matrix where people just become part of the program fuelling the ever-increasing tyranny.

This is part of a more sinister plan that has a common method across Nazism, neo-Marxism, UK unconscious bias training, China's psychology, and identity destruction of the Uyghur People.

Why should we be concerned, or will it fade out?

Does moral panic burn itself out, and recede by itself? It does not seem to recede on its own, it is touching everything Big Tech etc, anti-group prejudice. Many suggest woke culture is just about equality, the Systemic Racism label for example does not stand on its own, it is part of a system of similar ideas… Critical race theory.

Language is misused by compelling certain dialogue as part of the ideology. Identity too is complex and negotiated with others, not a simplistic group conveniently exercising power over others.

The label of Systemic Racism is impossible to defend yourself and is a devastating accusation.

Am I right opposing this? Systemic means pervasive everywhere, the central tendency of the system. This is a negative
