The Great Silencing of America and the Hallmarks of Woke Totalitarianism. We are in the midst of a Great Silencing, the quashing of all voices from both our present and our past. Wokeness is deep into the process of filling the void with objectives that bear the classic hallmarks of totalitarianism.

Critical Race Theory has a Jewish problem, and, finally, people are beginning to notice. “Stop being shocked,” implores Bari Weiss, formerly of the New York Times, writing for the Jewish commentary magazine Tablet. It’s a staggering article that cannot be recommended highly enough.
How the Woke Fail the Paradox of Tolerance. They are absolutely intolerant, will not debate or listen to alternative perspectives, and, unlike all other hate movements that fail those two criteria, have grown to be completely unchecked and uncheckable by public opinion.

Bringing into education materials based in Queer Theory, including so-called gender-critical perspectives that separate sex and gender as though they are completely different phenomena, is meant to make children activists in this disruptive, destabilizing mode of misunderstanding the world.

Schools throughout North America are reproducing the youth radicalization program utilized by Mao Zedong. They’re doing this by combining Critical Race Theory, Gender Theory, Queer Theory, to funnel kids into politically active, radical and revolutionary personal identities.
For those of you freshly exiled from Reddit, and confused about why, please read this essay that explains the logic behind your banning. This ideology is a complete worldview with its own ethics, epistemology, and morality, and theirs is not the same worldview the rest of us use.
Despite his official stance as a moderate Democrat, Biden has proven himself willing to pander to the radical left. This suggests that he himself accepts some dimensions of the Critical Social Justice framework.
How the Woke Fail the Paradox of Tolerance. They cannot be held in check by public opinion, and encourage their followers to respond to arguments with violence. I contend that the Woke, uniquely, have crossed this line They are absolutely intolerant and will not listen to alternative perspectives.
I want to introduce a new strategy and term to you. It’s simple: call Critical Race Theorists and its activists “neoracists.” It’s a good term. This brilliant neologism allows people to name a blatant injustice and to make a clear, principled call against racism and neoracism at the same time.
This is the world according to Critical Race Theory, and in such a world, you’re always wrong (and notice—your race never had to be assumed for these situations to play out to the inevitable conclusion of present racism: the conclusion was simply to be and was assumed from the outset).
2+2 Never Equals 5. Occasionally in the course of human events it becomes necessary to have to explain something no one would ever have expected to have to defend. In the present moment, we find that circumstance to be the case and that thing to be that two and two do, in fact, make four.

By having adopted a strict adherence to Critical Theory and the social constructivism of postmodernism, Wokeness rejects the idea that there is any thing as a reasonable person or standard. In place of a sense of what is and isn’t reasonable, the Woke ideology sees only its sole obsession: power.
The fight against the ideology called Wokeness is gaining ground for the first time in a decade, if not decades. People increasingly understand what it is and why it is a terrible, inhuman, and inhumane ideology that has no place governing our societies.

In Marxist literature, you run into the words “reality,” “realities,” and “actual” all the time. Marxists believe they, and they alone, have hacked the system and come to the only true understanding of reality. What they mean is their own weird and dangerous misinterpretation of it and nothing else.
After sowing distrust by naming the healthcare system as racist, blacks and Latinos are less vaccinated. Vaccine passports would create a (systemically racist) mechanism by which the disproportionately black and Latino population will be excluded from participation in the functions of society.

The Critical Race Theory belief system deconstructed. It is inherently racist and divisive, cynical and Sisyphean in the extreme. It is opposed to the humanist beliefs about race that made us what we are today: an imperfect, but decidedly less racist society than any that has come before.

Woke Marxism undermines law, and for it to succeed, it must pervert law. So far, it has been extremely successful at this. If our remaining judiciary remains unaware of the infiltration and subversion, we will probably lose our country. If it wakes up and discharges its duty we can save our country.

How have the radicals on the Dialectical Left—specifically, Woke Marxists—stolen education from our children? The answer is called “critical pedagogy,” which was developed on the back of the great Marxist religious revivalist Paulo Freire.

Social-Emotional Learning Explained. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is one of the hottest scams in academia, but what is it? It is a psychological grooming mechanism used to open up children through “social” and “emotional” means to Woke Marxist ideology and praxis.
The Theology of Marxism. Most people think of Marxism as an economic theory or, perhaps, a social theory. This isn’t sufficient. Marxism, strange as it may sound, is a theology, the basis for a religion.
In most applicative contexts, Critical Social Justice Theorizes willful ignorance to be the reason for just about any disagreement with the claims of Critical Social Justice, especially if a member of some “dominant” social group.
When advocates of Critical Social Justice ask people to be more "tolerant," what they mean is to take on a particular form of self-serving intolerance that acts in service to their radical & revolutionary agenda.
How Wokeness Undermines The Constitution. "Theirs is a war waged at the levels of interpretation, meaning, and context, and until we stand up firmly against their empowerment, we risk finding out in very disquieting ways just how crucial those can be." -James Lindsay
Critical Race Theory's Dictatorship of the Antiracists. Gnosticism turns progress upside-down by reframing it away from the effort to prosper in the world as it is and toward remaking it into a world that is not and, because this non-reality is essential to the Gnostic project, cannot be.
It is not normally appropriate to liken one’s ideological opponents to something like a virus, but what should we do when the people who hold that ideology liken themselves to viruses like HIV, Ebola, and SARS? This is exactly what we encounter with Critical Social Justice.
Is Critical Race Theory Marxist, as many insist, or is it not? What is the relationship between Marxism, neo-Marxism (Critical Theory), and Wokeness? All three criticize one another, and yet all three have a great deal obviously in common. Is there some common underlying thread? The answer is yes.
