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.
