WOKISM IS A POST-MODERN RELIGION

 WOKISM IS A POST-MODERN RELIGION

By Domenick J. Maglio, PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Wokism evolved in our Marxist halls of higher education and churches of liberation theology. Identity politics are being used as justification for the radical and rapid change of our culture that is taking place.  Homosexuality, gender redefining and tolerance for behavior that was historically considered illegal and/or antisocial is now viewed as acceptable. This lightening shift from our stable Judeo-Christian culture had to be justified by an army of social justice warrior advocates. 

 

Our schools of higher education along with our government k-12 schools have stopped teaching history, critical thinking, writing skills while giving inflated grades. They created “know-it-all” students with abysmal knowledge and academic skills. These ill prepared students were perfectly set up to be followers of wokism. These woke converts became the thought-control keepers for the Marxist in the same way BLM and Antifa became their gestapo police.

 

These woke soldiers were dumbed down with non-rational, non-intellectual and non-critical thinking skills, which made them easy targets to hate everything about our traditional culture. 

In this woke religion there are no absolutes as everything is relative except what a woke member believes. This allows a person in this woke religion to rationalize any behavior as acceptable or reject the most rational or functional concepts. 

 

A woke person believes they are correctly aware of all issues while traditional patriots are considered ignoramuses. Anything established before the post-modern era is seen as a false construct. This allows woke members the immense arrogance to dismiss knowledgeable, wise people as fools. They believe there is no truth only gullible people who have accepted past bogus history. 

 

Wokism believes the rights of people who do not conform to Judeo-Christian principles and natural law are not sinners but simply victims. Identity politics is supposedly returning their human rights to these groups that have not been allowed to practice perverted behaviors. The traditionalists reason that these forbidden biblical behaviors will foster mental illness, moral confusion and societal instability. The historical concerns of people who follow traditional practices are summarily dismissed as unjust homophiles, racists, misogynists, fascists or fools.

 

In the past when small cults have practiced these behaviors it resulted in problems to the individual and society.  The individuals who are knowledgeable of actual history are ostracized. There cannot be a debate or even an exchange of ideas. Woke people do not have the knowledge or inclination to understand logical arguments as their beliefs are emotionally based. 

 

However, history repeats itself. It notes the effects that particular behaviors have on society.  The best predictor of future behavior is the person’s past behavior. The lack of pertinent historical knowledge leaves the person or group at the mercy of the leader’s prejudices. Woke Marxist professors, liberation clergy and politically aware academics have presented selective evidence, to propagandize. They provide naïve students their version of the political exploitation of particular minorities.  According to wokism, minorities are always victims and cannot be held accountable for their behavior.  

 

These elites of the pseudo woke religion are advocates for radical change with a definite agenda to foment division in society. In a similar manner, radical Marxist students from the 1960s Cultural/Sexual Revolution are now their professors who are teaching wokism and that all social problems emanate from “the establishment.” The woke religion pits these emotionally charged religious fanatics against the past historical knowledge of facts and moral issues, which is the basis of our Western civilization. 

 

It is self-evident to woke members that all traditional moral values are nothing more than made up foundational building blocks for the repression of people of color, gender confusion, economic under classes and uneducated gang members. These downtrodden groups are becoming liberated through their aggressive wokism perspective.  It stresses that these mentally unstable, untrained, socially angry and destructive criminal people should be considered as societal casualties not perpetrators. 

 

Wokism believes in blaming others for all the illness of society. There is no redeeming introspection or serious discussion of different ideas presented or historical facts to support the individual’s point of view. There is not a search for truth as they believe there is none. Wokism focuses on the levers of power for there is no absolute truth only the will to gain power. According to these religious advocates this will usher in the utopian world where everyone is religiously woke. 

 

The 1960 student revolutionaries melded into today’s corporate and university establishment. These woke religious converts are already at the levers of power. Hopefully the public will eventually realize the woke have a lot to learn about history. Hopefully their expanding base of knowledge will help them mature into open minded citizens who realize that everyone is impacted by one’s subculture but every one of us has free will to choose the best path to walk down.

CORPORATIONS AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED

 CORPORATIONS AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

During the revolutionary period our powerful founders could easily have let our country become a permanent colony of the British Empire. These men only had to comply with the decrees of King George III. The sophisticated colonists would have maintained their vaulted status and riches. However, they had a greater vision for the land early settlers had built. The freedom fighters fought England’s tyranny to give the gift of freedom to guide the future of America.

 

Fifty-five of them signed our constitution establishing a limited government with checks and balances. This limited the power of any one person or cabal to dictate how citizens should live. In addition to this sacred document, they insisted on adding a Bill of Rights. The Ten Amendments were signed by ninety founders spelling out and guaranteeing specific rights that should never be denied to U.S. citizens. 

 

The signers comprehended that citizens need to possess religious and moral values to maintain a free nation. This would guide them in earning a living and having the freedom to spend their own income as each citizen saw fit. Adam Smith’s free market economy became the framework of our national economy. Our Constitutional Republic and capitalist economy are not perfect although they have produced the best economy known to man and freest nation on earth. 

 

The model of the corporate world is the opposite of the government of our constitutional republic. The corporate system operates from the top down. The corporate executive officer, CEO, devises a plan that everyone in the organization is compelled to follow. If there is one thing a corporation must maintain is uniformity from one department or satellite facility to another to regulate the organization’s efficiency. Uniformity and immense scope and size are essential for the corporation to be most effective. 

 

The corporate world grew as our nation and economy expanded. Corporations found it more efficient to mass produce a specific product or service inexpensively. Employees were hired to do repetitive and simple tasks. Job satisfaction decreased although salaries rose seducing many people to leave the independent life of farming or their small businesses for a more lucrative and dependable income. 

 

In middle and upper management many work additional hours taking work home. They are in charge of a small part of the business without the knowledge and power to impact the bigger structure of the corporation. They learn to conform to the larger corporate vision. 

 

These two divergent approaches, one of dogmatically following the CEO’s directives from the top down and the other from the bottom up to determine the direction the voters want in our Constitutional Republic to proceed. Self-employed individuals develop a unique lifestyle based on their individual preferences and freedom. These owners have direct relationships with customers and employees who make innovative suggestions from the bottom up which is a fundamental feature of capitalism.

 

These two approaches to life are being fought out in our American politics. Progressive-socialists want cradle-to-grave government assistance from the top down. Individuals need to give up their individual needs for the poor choices of others. For “equity” to happen government must take from the productive and give to the slackers. Corporations now must insist on diversity indoctrination for social justice and censorship to coerce employees to accept unjust political and managerial practices. 

 

Traditional Americans that our founders wanted to protect and encourage, believe that self-determination, hard work and freedom of opportunity are the most effective ways to gain prosperity for the people and the nation. When people make their own independent choices of spending their own resources, they make better economic choices than the ones based on the economic experts’ predictions. The accumulation of people’s choices is the “invisible hand.” The invisible hand guides the intricate decisions of the capitalist society, not economic experts.

 

We are witnessing a diametrically opposed phenomenon with gigantic corporations, social media, fake news, Amazon, lackey socialist politicians attempting to gain control of our federal government. These global political experts intend to unite under a world banner. These “superior elite’s” modern electronic devices and media brainwashing techniques will dictate the behavior and thoughts of the people. “1984” will become a reality worldwide. 

 

The only force that could resist this worldwide corporate tyranny is the world’s people. We need to unite all over the globe against this totalitarian nightmare. It is best to end this potential nightmare before it takes hold and crushes individual freedom.

RAISING A CHILD TO BE AN ADULT -NOT FOREVER A CHILD

 RAISING A CHILD TO BE AN ADULT -NOT FOREVER A CHILD

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Many of the children in the United States are full of themselves. They believe whatever they do is terrific. Many of their decisions are spontaneous with little thought as they have consistently been told how anything they touch is perfect. Why should they waste time thinking? Thinking is not necessary for they can just “Google it”, therefore they don’t listen to anyone else. They are unaware that much of what you find online is not true. These youngsters do not have an ounce of self-doubt about anything they think or do. 

 

Many children have been raised in a childrearing philosophy of positive praise with almost no criticism. This philosophy was first adopted by government schools in the 1970s. Parents and the children’s second major authority figures, teachers, are on the same page about positive reinforcement. When parents, academic teachers and even afterschool instructors like dance, music, gymnastics, and athletic coaches apply the same types of system that uses trophies, certificates of achievement and over inflated (false statements of excellence), the child and parents hear these as actual assessments of their child’s performance. Parents often think how wonderfully their child does in all venues and how terrific they are as modern parents. Everyone wins in this American fantasy except the future of the child.

 

Currently it is difficult for authority figures to tell the child that their performance was not at a sufficient level to receive an excellent evaluation. Modern parents experiencing this genuine viewpoint would consider the person mean spirited and destructive to the innocent child’s self-concept. An accurate assessment of the innocent child’s academic skills, personality or interaction with others has to always be upbeat in this modern psychological era. The youngster’s ego has to be protected at all costs.

 

However, there is a cost to the child’s performance being sugar coated by authority figures as it would discourage the youngster from practicing and striving to reach the next level. The mandated token rewards become a disincentive in the long run for the child to focus, prepare and search for better methods to improve their performance to get to a higher level. 

 

Not only does the individual lose out, but our entire society does. American students’ performance is mediocre as compared to other nations. Although the United States has spent the most resources on schools than any other nation, the performance of students has fallen to the midrange in academics. When these US students go into the competitive business world, their lackluster performance becomes evident. They are often unable to compete with foreign co-workers. Our economy is being negatively affected by young workers who are unable to accurately assess themselves and accept criticism to improve job performance. 

 

Many current graduates have received high academic grades without learning many

critical thinking skills and historical facts. The lack of knowledge about our founders who overcame incredible hardships to accomplish unthinkable feats is no longer able to inspire students. They lack high expectations and toughness to persevere until reaching their goals successfully. Too many of these youngsters expect the same unearned accolades when competing with more hard-working, accomplished people.  

 

Having high false esteem is an albatross around any person’s neck. They will be disappointed at every turn because they were overlooked for promotion, did not receive a raise or were demoted. Often, they are shocked that superiors expect so much more from them than they are ready to give. Too many graduates are not prepared for the vigor of competing with motivated, hard-working competitors. Becoming part of the working world with a large dose of false esteem is often an ego crushing experience. 

 

Many of these “disabled” individuals are unable to accept negative feedback. They are not ready for honest feedback and often perceive it as unfair and unwarranted. These pampered, “old youngsters” are stunned to deal with the harsh reality of the working world.

 

Parents, teachers and other authority figures are not doing our children any favors by creating an impression that their performances are good when they are mediocre at best. This lack of honest evaluation is setting the child up for future devastating failure as an adult. 

 

Childrearing that sets high expectations and standards forces youngsters to realize that when they apply themselves with focus and determination, they can accomplish things they never thought possible. This is setting them up for success. There is no limit to the future of the person whose internal motivation sets his standards higher and higher. Determination, hard work and accurate self-evaluation beats any trophy given to anyone who just joins the team.

 

Unconditional positive reinforcement stunts a child’s development. Challenging and encouraging to always improve earns them the accolades they seek. Which do you want for your child?

THE MARXIST BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS REIMAGINING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC

 THE MARXIST BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS REIMAGINING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC 

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

The voice of the people is an impediment to the social justice movement. Free speech is no longer being honored if it in anyway disagrees with Marxist concepts that are almost daily introduced to the public.  Patriotic people’s negative concerns and opinions about the administration are altered by the state media to sound ridiculous. When any negative reaction gets public traction, any person who repeats it is also cancelled on social media platforms.

 

Many Americans are standing up to express their opinions in local community meetings including government school board meetings. These irate, patriotic Americans who were unaware of the Marxist theories being indoctrinated into their children’s minds want them to cease and be replaced by authentic historical events.  The American Federation of Teachers is adamant about teaching CRT in the new school year, which is supported by this administration.

 

The school bureaucracy is not allowing contrary voices to be heard at school board meetings. Any dissenters of Critical Race Theory or other Marxist theories are often removed from the meeting. These strong-arm measures are being played out throughout our nation. The believers in free speech rights are growing, not decreasing even with these tactics. 

 

Besides the attack on the first amendment, the second amendment is also under attack. There is a constant message of confiscating US citizens’ legal guns. President Biden is systematically trying to disassociate increased killing and lawlessness with his policies of immigration or allowing riots in our cities or defunding of police in democrat run cities. Rather, he is attempting to blame the rise in crime on our legal citizens second amendment rights not on the criminals who use them to commit crimes.

 

The president’s megaphone is heard dividing US citizens into woke and patriotic groups. The woke tribe of Marxist sympathizers such as Antifa and BLM and the believers in the American way have diametrically opposed views of America. The woke were propagandized to believe America is a racist, unjust society. The patriots who believe in freedom, their belief in opportunity and merit to improve their status are seen as “reactionary deplorables.” 

 

The current administration has taken a new tack by describing patriots as possessing “white rage.” The January 6^th protest at the capitol building was described as an “insurrection” rivaling the Civil War or 9/11. Initially they described it as a “murderous group of law breakers” who killed several capitol employees, which turned out to be false. The only person killed was a female army veteran, Ashli Babbitt, killed by an unidentified capital policeman. Some people that entered the capitol building on January 6^th are still being held in solitary confinement for the past eight months without legal arraignment. This appears to be a show of illegal governmental power that should concern all citizens as well as woke citizens. The state media has basically been silent on this blatant disregard for citizen’s civil rights and Biden’s crony payoffs. 

 

President Biden has indicated that guns were useless because he has overwhelming power at his disposal. He noted that “nukes and F-15 jets” are at his disposal, not anyone else’s. This was a direct threat to any group attempting to put limits on his power.

 

The elite bureaucracy in every branch of government: the military, IRS, FBI, government schools and universities, DOJ, CDC, DHS, mega corporations and almost all other government agencies believe that their power is much more valid than citizen voices. Corporate and bureaucrat elites want to replace our constitutional republic with a global Marxist government or a national communist regime. They believe in experts, not the people’s voice. According to the woke, freedom, opportunity and people’s rights are antiquated concepts that need to be discarded.

 

Marxist elites believe in the indoctrinating process that is taking place in our schools, military, and major corporations. Social and state media are censoring opposing viewpoints, which weakens and eliminates patriotic thinkers whose opinions differ from theirs. The elimination of free speech and the confiscation of guns has always been an integral part of communist take-overs.

 

The woke citizens are so sure they have already permanently won the control of the US government that they are no longer using the gradual road of deception. In fact, they are emboldened to say the 1776 American Revolution is over and claims that 1619 is the actual beginning of our nation. These arrogant, historically ignorant, woke members do not understand the power of a free people.

 

No one should underestimate the American public. As the saying goes, “It’s not over until it’s over.”

CHILDREN ARE UNDER ATTACK

 CHILDREN ARE UNDER ATTACK

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph. D Traditional Realist

 

The dissolving of the extended family has left children vulnerable to evil. Children used to be protected not only by their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, siblings but also by their neighbors. Adults and even youngsters were taught by life experience and the news of harmful incidents that took place in the communities. 

 

In our modern system of Internet communication children have access to news that is distorted by television, news, and social media. Hollywood moguls and corporations are attempting to seduce people including youngsters to purchase what they are selling. These messages are subliminal or overtly presented by sophisticated advertising campaigns. Much of it often has a deviant social agenda that attacks the moral values of children. Moreover, kids can roam the Internet not only for games but searching for pornography, drugs, suicide, pedophilia, and other deviant behaviors. 

 

Graphic accounts of sexual acts portrayed on the screen often become reality in many children’s lives. Transgenders, sex trafficking, homosexuality and abortion are topics youngsters as young as four witnesses with no adult supervision. Few of these subjects are left to the imagination, although they are often presented as casual incidents with no negative ramifications. These lewd actions end with no suffering on the part of the participants. 

 

Modern children are being robbed of their innocence, safety, and appropriate sexuality by incessant repetition of deviant narratives. Modern children are more unprepared to understand the disturbing consequences of these acts than previous generations. However, our elders: parents, educators, politicians, and religious leaders have abdicated their responsibility. Our children are facing more complex issues with less parental instruction and direction than ever before. 

 

Loved ones are not consulted by the child who has not developed a strong enough rapport to speak about their inadequacies and fears. Instead, for advice they turn to anonymous strangers and get sucked into the web of group indoctrination. These strangers have not dealt with their own difficulties. Although they pretend to be experts on the subject they have chosen. The social gap between parents and children grows wider as their child seeks knowledge and advice from their new found disturbed group. 

 

These naïve children listen to group members who make their deviant and harmful actions appear glamorous. These anonymous group members frame their cause as heroic. These confused and vulnerable children receive the attention they seek from the group whose convoluted thinking convinces themselves they are victims. Many group members distort reality making destructive decisions that lead to severe complications to already hysterical lives. 

 

Once the seeker of acceptance become intrigued by group indoctrination, they go online to learn more. Whatever group the child chooses he would describe as having found identity, support, and a home. The people in the group do not attempt to solve their own inadequacies and confusion but join with others disillusioned souls to try to change the view of the general population which is an impossible goal. 

 

This distortion of reality happens not only with the child on the Internet but directly in modern families. Everyone is doing their own thing. Many family members do not even eat meals together and if they do many are on their cellphones talking with someone else. The lack of interpersonal interaction between parents and children are lost opportunities to teach common sense and moral lessons. Every family is in their own Internet universe.

 

Often parents are too preoccupied or just not there to point out the dangers to certain children’s spontaneous decisions. There is little parental participatory discussion (if you do this, probably this would be the outcome). Adult’s thought process is too often not being taught to their offspring, although it is a primary function of parenting.

 

The 1960s cultural revolution’s once deviant ideas have become mainstream. What was traditionally considered as “wholesome” is currently considered “lame.” A patriotic American is a Neanderthal and a believer in traditional moral values is an enemy of the woke people. The patriarchal family passed on moral values but has been ridiculed and almost obliterated leaving it nearly a relic of the past. 

 

The United States culture must resuscitate the most important institution to raise our children. In this modern period, we need strong dedicated parents. We the people must bring back a strong patriarchal social unit. 

 

Quelling the vicious attack on children is the function of parents. Of course, friends, teachers, and clergy have a huge social responsibility to ensure that children are not being exposed to words and pictures that corrupt their innocence. Without a doubt, the primary responsibility to keep the child on the straight and narrow belongs to the parents. In this electronic age it is more challenging, but it can and has to be done for the child, family and ultimately the entire society.
