At this point Wokeism is nothing but just another religious cult, no different from traditional religious cults like Westboro Baptists and Mormons

Note how 'Wokeness' retains every prole-control precept of the "Old-Time Religion", with updated lyrics for the 'modern' Hallelujah Chorus:

Featuring The Holy Trinity: Race, Sex"Gender" and Economic Class.

  1. Revealed 'truth'. (Listen and Believe!)
  2. A Catechism (the "Narrative").
  3. Chosen People ('Protected Classes').
  4. Original Sin ('privilege' and collective guilt) which cannot be expunged without perpetual 'repentance'
    a. ...but punishment can be softened by "indulgences" ("reparations" and tax credits).
  5. 'Heretics' aren't just wrong, they're evil or even non-human, and there are no limits on what can be done to oppose or punish them. ("No bad tactics!")

It would be a trivial project to adapt the above to Eco-Theism, Animism (Gaia Angry!) or however far society chooses to descend.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Featuring The Holy Trinity: Race, Sex"Gender" and Economic Class.

I would actually change that to “The Holy Trinity of Race, Gender and Sexuality.”

Nu-Marxism is far more concerned with identity politics and interpersonal dynamics than any kind of class consciousness like it’s old-school predecessor.

Also another similarity I just thought of that parallels traditional fundamentalist religions almost to a Tee is that anyone who brings up or even acknowledges the sciences and biological reality is deemed one of those irredeemable heretics.

Sane person: “Biological sex is real and cannot be erased.”

Wokeism: “Burn this devil bigot at the stake!!!”

Sane person: “Human life does not begin at conception but at 5 or 6 months when all it’s bodily organs have formed and developed, also Evolution exists, Creationism is not a thing.”

Fundie Christian/Jew/Muslim: “Burn this devil at the stake!!!”

Sane person: “Being gay is something you’re born as and is biologically immutable, gay people have distinct differences with the heterosexual majority that need to be acknowledged, and no it cannot be reversed, changed or chosen. Traditional conversion therapy and “trans conversion therapy” via lesbians taking the “girldick” won’t work.”

Both Fundie Woketards and Christians/Jews/Muslims: “Burn this heretic devil at the stake!!!”

"Born that way" and "Choose to identify..." aren't the same. And I want to see a scientific article explaining how "born gays" reproduce.
