Every few months or so, you see classical liberal figures (Dr. Peterson-type characters) proclaiming how woke ideology has reached its peak and is finally retreating (the pendulum is swinging back!), only for them to proclaim the same thing a few months later again. What many of these people don't understand is that woke ideology is not retreating; it is simply being institutionalized among the small minority elite-ruling class who control the institutions.
It's now almost offensive to say that homosexuals cannot marry. In Britain this was only legalised (to general shrugging-of-shoulders) in 2010! There was no great wave of opinion, letters to newspapers were not being written, questions were not being asked in the House, it was simply the sort of thing affluent London Tories supported. Now it is 'normal'.
Auron, you should comment on Bill Maher’s recent appearance on Rogan. He’s adamant that the current woke madness is just “leftism out of control” and has absolutely nothing to do with his brand of liberalism. He calls it “anti-liberal” and he feels no responsibility whatsoever for the current mess.
Claiming that wokeness is "going away" or "consuming itself" is like accepting the warm fuzzy feeling towards the end of death by hypothermia as true warmth. We have to fight, now more than ever. Things are going to get worse before they ever get better.
Hey auron. Good read, as always. I think one thing I would add for consideration is “wokeness”/progressive stack ideology as a tool for opening new markets & providing new territory for capital. I.e. Trans industrial complex (clinicians, activists, consumer products, medications, etc). Deterritorializing the sanctity of the human form, Reterritorializating it in the realm of capital production. This goes hand in hand with the inversion/profanation of natural systems/order.
Nice article, Auron. The way I see it, the globohomo superstructure exists because of two things: (1) the modern privately owned central bank system, owned by a small number of families, who utilize divide-et-impera tactics in order to solidify their control and prevent competitors from arising, along with (2) underlying societal values in egalitarianism, which derive from Pauline Christianity and which allowed the central banking superstructure to be put in place in the first place. Due to what is called the egalitarian ratchet effect, underlying societal values inevitably get reinforced and intensified if or until those values are transvalued. As such, given so-called "conservatives" have no understanding of the depths of the problem, they are bound to lose on the horrific issue of child transsexualism along with whatever comes next.
Wokeness needs a higher price to go away. Boycotts are useless unless there is adequate competition. And there is little competition these days thanks to the gutting of antitrust law and the incredible centralization of capital.
The Right needs to occupy Wall St. as it were. The big investment houses need to be defanged. The first step would be to disallow any index fund from voting its proxies. Or even better, any mutual fund that can be used in a 401(k) plan should act as passive investors -- no proxy voting -- since employees using such plans do not have full free will in what to invest in. Activist mutual funds should be bought directly.
Also, we need to lighten some banking regulations so that community banks can act a local investment banks. The price of capital for startup businesses is way too high.

He looks ragged. There's something about Boomer leftists that makes them look like Dorian Grey's portrait. Chris Hitchens had the same seedy look.

Perfect analysis. Spot-on.

Totally agree with you. And A.A. won't be receiving his fancy cigars from you anytime soon.

I go into the egalitarian ratchet effect process here: https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/the-egalitarian-ratchet-effect-why
Saying woke will go away with these people is like saying a Calvinist will stop talking about 'election'...
What happened to the Total State chapters? I can't find them anywhere in the archives. Are they located behind a paywall or at a different site?
Not voluntarily, that is. To get rid of wokeness will require a lot of force and an iron will.
It’s sure insane.
