Today on MindMatters we look at Wokeness through the lens of ponerology (with current examples, e.g., the recent GameStop controversy). For psychopaths, ideologies serve as the perfect trojan horse for taking power, and wielding it. Wokeness - with its cynical views of human nature and explicit authoritarianism - is just another variation on the theme of the twentieth century, which saw the rise of communism and fascism. Once the ideologues have taken power, the ideology ceases to bear any resemblance to its original form. Rather, it becomes a mask for pure pathology. And by that time, it's usually too late to stop it.

"nothing can thrive in amerika unless inflated by hyperbole and gilded with a fine coat of fraud. amerikans cannot think except by means of slogans: they identify garbage as quality. the stupidity and ignorance of amerikans has long been a topic of hilarity in Europe". Paul Fussell
"amerikans live in a thicket of illusions; they demand illusions about themselves". Daniel Boorstin
The people of England are currently strapped under harsh lockdown rules that restrict them from being social with anyone outside their home or “support bubble” without a government approved “reasonable excuse.”
It seems to me: The easiest way for a psychopath to get by in this world is by facilitating 'the mask of the empath'.
This practice was developed to almost perfection with the green/eco/global warming/climate change/CO2 scam and was easily transferable to the coronavirus scam, the transgender scam, the race scam, many other scams, and as they say "sh-t rolls downhill". That's why one of the principle concerns of the day for a lot of people seems to be spending every waking hour of every day trying to convince the rest of the world how too-f*cking-good-to-be-true they are.

How can anyone love a planet? It's ridiculous. Fake.

"...I do not agree that meritocracy is inherently racist. Students of all races benefit from such schools. While there is clearly less diversity at Lowell, the best solution is not to eliminate such programs but to work harder in the earlier grades to allow minority students to excel (and ultimately gain admission to such programs).
There is a need for meritocracy in academia and society at large. Indeed, such scores offer race-neutral systems for advancement. While subjects like math have been declared racist (and a University of Rhode Island professor recently declared all of science, statistics, and technology to be “inherently racist”), these are fields that allowed many intellectuals of color to advance..." A mind is a terrible thing to waste–unless you’re woke.
Of course, we know what's been done with that and why.

The gate, eh? Us artists can ferry an ideology on the wind as easy as whistling Dixie. Songs are dangerous. You can tear a grown man's heart out with a song.
Many of our instruments forged their way on battlefield, too. Art is a powerful distillation of passion and culture. I think some people can pack a lot into a little red ocher and canvas (...and maybe a happy little tree that lives here). Just saying; remember to pack a paint brush, pencil, and/or a harmonica.
I think it's worth noting how weak modern liberal art is. It's become like a really big arm with a tiny little hammer.
Most of the people winning popular art awards are awful but the label they belong to is omniscient They win not because they have a powerful message, but because they have powerful masters.
Subconsciously I think we all know the end is near. Nobody even has a fantasy of this situation turning out keen. Nealy all perceptions of the future is dystopic, and ironically for exactly the kind of human behavior we are currently cultivating. It's either murder-bots, zombies, mutants, or some such desolation because some dude (or tiny lab mouse) wanted to be "Ruler of the WORLD!"
These are comic book super villains we have in charge (ninja outfits and the whole nine yards). I've never seen the world so deranged. A thousand years after we've disappeared, archaeologists who discover our bones will never believe why or how we just vanished. It's just too absurd. I can barely believe it.
"Nobody wants to be blamed for what someone else does."-Harrison KoehliI thought that was funny, personally ("nobody would ever be that stupid, right?"). My screen name was chosen because I wasn't afraid to own the failures of my creed. I've heard all the shrieking, seen all the pointy fingers. It means nothing coming from the throat of this abyss shaped culture. I'll even go so far as claiming to be a racist...So what? What's wrong with that?
I feel like I wouldn't get an intelligent response from anybody who accused me of it. I bet they couldn't articulate a logical answer, because they don't know what they're talking about. They're just repeating what the Sacred Unicorn said.
we have all been waiting for you!
