Rationalizing Hate: The Cult of Wokeism
Thursday, December 12, 2024
Wendy Carlos, a pioneering artist in the world of electronic music, is a trans woman. So is Sophie Wilson, co-inventor of the ARM processor found in all smartphones. If you didn't know that, there's a good reason for it. Neither woman is a "woke" activist. Rather than going about terrorizing the public, both have spent their lives making solid contributions to society.
The cult of wokeism is a case study in personality weaknesses. For some reason, wokies crave validation from non-wokies and the uncommitted. It's not enough for them to simply live their lives and enjoy their liberties in a dignified manner. They insist on forcing their religion upon the rest of us.
Wokies like to imagine that non-believers "hate" them. The truth is that most people don't give a fuck about them one way or another. We're too busy trying to make ends meet to expend energy hating anybody.1 We much prefer to live our lives and let others do likewise. That never occurs to the activists because they evidently have enough time on their hands to participate in a shit show of their own making, and assume that everybody else does too.
The political left prefers creating caricatures, labels, and strawmen over engaging with real people. Even the marginalized groups they claim to champion aren't immune. As a Hispanic woman, I'm here to tell you we don't even know what "LatinX" means, much less identify with it. I never met a black conservative who identified as an "Uncle Tom," or a housewife who despised her own femininity. As far as I know, no heterosexual ever identified as "cis" anything. These caricatures and labels were invented by the woke left for the express purpose of dehumanizing other people, to portray us as aberrations or outright evil villains.
As history has shown, dehumanizing a group of people is the first step on the road to genocide. I'm not being facetious in the least when I tell you I see far more genocidal tendencies in the radical left than in the alt right. Wokeists openly call for violence against "nazis" and "fascists" — meaning everybody to the right of Stalin, not just literal nazis and facists — every day of the week. They applaud when an assassination attempt is made against one of their bogeymen. Seeing a white man murdered in cold blood makes them cum in their Fruit of the Looms. We know they hate men, white people, "tradwives," and other other "cis" groups because they never miss a chance to say so.
All of that from a movement that claims to oppose hate and violence. Their warped perception of reality has somehow enabled them to pretend to themselves that it's not hate and violence when they do it. They justify their own brutality by pretending it'll end all brutality.
Let me get this straight. You think you can end hate and violence with more hate and violence? In your diseased mind, maybe. No amount of slander, ostracism, cancel culture, indoctrination, thought policing, erosion of civil liberties, or cowardly physical attacks can end hate and violence. If anything, acting out with hate and violence can only engender retaliation in kind.
As for chalking everything up to "hate" or "phobia," here's a clue for you. People aren't Disney cartoon characters capable of feeling only one or two emotions. We're capable of far more nuanced opinions and attitudes. I know it's hard for people who think in black and white to believe that, but it's true. Most people neither hate nor fear queer people. The simple fact of the matter is that nobody cares what you do in private. You mind your own business, and I'll mind mine.
Wokies can't grasp the concept of "live and let live" though. They demand our participation in their cult. They insist that we bend the knee and adopt their ideology. Ever the moral authoritarians, they constantly lecture us about our alleged sins and the need to atone for them.
A perfect example of this can be found in the recently released video game Dragon Age: Veilguard. Like most video games that incongruously push modern politics in a historical setting, the game was a resounding commercial failure — mainly because wokeists don't eat their own dog food. Many of the companies that make such games are on the verge of bankruptcy because their target audience doesn't exist. Why don't normal people buy these games though? Could it be because of scenes like the following?
A trans character in Veilguard accidentally "misgenders" another character. Never mind slaying dragons. We have a micro-aggression emergency on our hands! The character lectures other characters, as well as the player, about the need to effectively self-flaggelate like a medieval Christian monk to atone for the cardinal sin of misgendering. The ritual self-punishment is necessary, they said, because a simple apology must be presumed to be insincere.
What in the butt-fucking, kiddie-diddling fuckety fuck, bro? Do we not get enough sanctimonious left-wing moralizing from Hollywood and the mainstream media? Oh, wait. I don't get that much of it from those sources anymore because I tuned both of them out years ago. Still, the question remains. I play video games for fun and relaxation. Being preached at by cult victims, whether they be mainstream religious folk or otherwise, isn't fun. Stressing me out over some petty-ass butthurt bullshit certainly isn't relaxing. It wasn't fun when Christians did it in the 80s and 90s, and it isn't fun when low-information political zealots do it today. If you think I'm gonna pay $70 to hear it, you're out of your goddamned mind. I won't even fish that dogshit out of the $5 bargain bin.
Why do the wokies crave our approval and constant attention anyway? Are they so insecure in their identity and beliefs that they need every disinterested third party to give them their stamp of approval? As a bisexual Hispanic woman, I don't demand that white heterosexual men give me their blessing when I choose to fuck another adult of either sex or any race. I just do it, and nobody but the other party and I knows it happened.
And that's my main gripe with the wokeist cult. Again, I don't care if you cut off your dick, wear a dress, or fuck a legal adult of whatever sex or race. That's none of my business. It only becomes my business when you shove it in my face or try to groom my kids.
Prancing naked in a public place in the presence of children has never been socially acceptable in the history of mankind. So what makes you think it's acceptable just because you're queer? It's not your homosexuality or gender dysphoria per se that gets you labelled as a pervert. It's your appalling public behavior and complete lack of respect for everybody around you. Moron.
A childless adult showing undue interest in other people's kids is suspicious as fuck to begin with. Trying to convince impressionable kids that they're queer or trans when they're not old enough to know the difference is likely to earn you a beatdown at the hands of their or somebody else's parents, and rightly so. If I see you messing with anybody's kids, I'll pound your fucking skull into paste with a cast iron skillet. There's the "street justice" you left-wing hate-mongers love so much.
Mind you, that's not a rationalization of violence, as there's little or no thinking involved in protecting one's young. It's a natural instinct. Lopping off your pecker? Not so much.
Now go home and be decent people. Or don't. I don't care what you do, as long as I don't have to look at it.
A few of the nonnas don't seem to understand how the Internet works. If you talk shit about me on your platform and deny me a chance to respond there, I'll respond on my own platform. It's the same everywhere you look. For example, when one YouTuber calls out another YouTuber, the second one doesn't beg the first one to let them come on their show so they can respond in a manner dictated by the first. No, they make their own video response.
To reiterate once again, I don't give a rat's ass how the imageboard cult works. From what I've seen, the "integration" rituals and nitpicky protocol enforcement are just a lame excuse to side-step the subject being discussed.
When I have something to say, I say it — without my words being watered down by humorless left-wing "fact checkers" with their "community notes," or by nazi mods with their semi-literate red text. This isn't first grade. I don't need the teacher to annotate my homework with a red pen. Yes, I do have that right. Your shitass little forum rules don't diminish my civil rights in any way.
No, I'm not gonna talk about myself in the third person to avoid your goofy little "self-posting" penalties. You clearly identify me when you attack me, so I'm gonna respond as myself and own the words I wrote that you're criticizing. Pretending to be somebody else defending me is like using an alt account to make it look like I have allies. I don't need allies to defend me, real or imaginary. I know kung fu and sixteen other Chinese words. Besides, it doesn't prevent you from identifying me anyway.
Speaking of allies, did it ever occur to you that you'd win more support by allying with people whose opinions are adjacent to yours than by antagonizing them? I mean look at the wokies. Eating their own hasn't exactly helped them these last couple of decades, has it?
Lurk moar, n00bs.

Yeah, I'm not done with you guys yet.
Let me tell you another thing about hate. You can avoid most of the groups you hate by simply ignoring them. Unless you have activists knocking on your front door all day long, you probably won't encounter most of them in real life.
Nobody's forcing you to visit a website or consume media that offends you. In fact, if normal people give it zero attention, its producers will go bankrupt. Most fringe groups really aren't big enough to financially support a for-profit media outlet without normie dollars. The Internet just makes them seem like they are. Mainstream news channels, Hollywood studios, and video game producers are going broke because people in those industries persistently shovel hate towards white men — while simultaneously, and perhaps begrudgingly, acknowledging they need that demographic to make bank.
Bruh. What? You know you're shooting yourself in the foot, and you keep doing it anyway? Real smart business plan there, boss. Sounds like you're too stupid to live, but fuck it. Give yourself another raise.
I think the reason for the open hatefest amongst the Millennials and Zoomers is a direct consequence of being raised by the Internet. By contrast, creators who proudly identify as Generation X generally don't wade into identity politics. They'd rather wax nostalgic about how much fun and freedom they had in their feral youth.
It's ridiculous that the kids think they have to fight for rights that their forebears already won. Do they have so few real world challenges that they have to invent them?
We had girls playing high school football and classmates in interracial relationships throughout the 80s, dipshit. Yes, even in the "racist" Dirty South. These things aren't new. What's more, most young people never gave them a second thought. We all got along and had fun together. Pissing matches were settled on the playground, and quickly forgotten. Your sworn enemy today might be your best friend tomorrow. The reason stories about racial tensions from the 80s are rare is because we didn't play up racial differences.
Y'all got all that horseshit from the Internet. The media pushes rage bait because rage bait sells. It keeps bored people engaged with manufactured drama that doesn't concern them. Most normal adults don't share the hate that consumes your minds. Not liberals, not conservatives, and definitely not moderates. We're old enough to realize we don't have the fucking time.
More than that, we're mature enough to understand that creating unnecessary social friction makes life that much harder and less pleasant for everybody. If you prefer to have everything the hard way, that's fine, but don't be a stumbling block for your brother. I think some Jewish hippie explained that a couple thousand years ago.
And what is all of this candy-assed horseshit about "words are weapons" anyway? Ever hear of this?
Sticks and stones
May break my bones,
But words can never hurt me.
I heard it all the goddamned time growing up. Our parents raised us to be strong and independent, not to just virtue signal about being so. I won't insult a five year old from my generation by comparing you to them.
Or how about these?
If you don't like it, hit the "back" button.
and:
Don't feed the trolls.
Early Netizens knew something that your dumb social media-addicted ass can't seem to get the hang of. Namely, that you don't have to react like Pavlov's dogs to every goddamned thing you see and hear. If it offends you, it probably wasn't meant for your eyes and ears. It's up to you to filter what these dogshit outlets show you. If you're a political zealot or member of some right-wing or left-wing hate group, then that's the kind of dogshit they're gonna feed you.
It's just plain idotic to claim a social media site is racist, misogynist, or whatever. Most actively censor that shit. The few that don't are catering to every echo chamber at once, and pitting all sides against each other. They obviously can't believe two mutually contradictory things at once. The algorithm only feeds you more of what you've already consumed. That's how they make their money.
Learn to distinguish fact from opinion. That's something your commie teachers should've taught you instead of filling your heads with "pronouns" and "top scars," and dividing you into mutually hostile identity groups. If supposedly grown ass adults learned to get along half as well as toddlers do, maybe they'd be able to do their jobs instead of creating a hostile work environment, bankrupting their employers, and getting laid off in droves.
Opinions are like assholes: everybody has one.
It's true. Moreover, a lot of people are assholes regardless of their opinions. They're entitled to their dumbass opinions, same as you are.
Yeah, I know. Those old sayings are corny and lame. Crazy old Grandma is living in the past.
Maybe. People were generally a lot nicer and more respectful in the past. I can't blame anybody for wanting to relive it. And those corny old sayings taught us to adapt much better than does the hateful rhetoric being spewn by all sides today.
What's the point of hating somebody anyway? Honkies, niggers, spics, faggots, dykes, kikes, nazis, fascists, rednecks, gooners, coomers, ageists, ableists, sexists, racists, elitists, pick-me girls, tradwives, TERFs, trannies, and troons aren't gonna go away, no matter how many infantile public meltdowns you have over them, and no matter how much extremist propaganda you regurgitate.2 You can't "send them back to Africa" or wherever because they're not from there in the first place. They're Americans, just like you and me.
Dividing your fellow citizens into groups to single out for hate is the literal definition of divisiveness. Hating any group because of their group characteristics is bigotry, again by definition. Don't start nuthin', and there won't be nuthin'.
Update (Again)

Life is more peaceful without the Internet, y'all. I've mostly ignored it for the last three days whilst working on my next short story and my page builder. Except for Vara's livestreams, the only thing I've watched on YouTube are music and ASMR videos.
The only personal Web page I've read was Sara's People & Blogs interview. I ended up there when I went to submit these shitposts to the Wiby search engine and found that nearly every link that mentioned me was on Manuel's site. Wiby had been unable to crawl the pages on my old site. These simple static HTML pages are well suited to Wiby though.
It surprised me to learn that Sara Jakลกa was a bit of a tomboy who regularly beat boys at fisticuffs as a girl, although I suppose it shouldn't have. It's funny how you can have a mental image of somebody you met online and then learn things about them that break the illusion.
I haven't visited any forums or social media sites other than YouTube at all. I know the nonnas think I lurk at the Farm everyday, but that's wishful thinking, ladies. Get over yourselves. That "small Web" thread doesn't get enough traffic to warrant camping on it. I can check in every week or three and get caught up in five minutes.
When I checked in last week, I got this hilarious self-contradictory error message that said I was banned, but I couldn't appeal the ban because it'd already been lifted. Lolwut? Am I banned or not? My post went through, so I guess I wasn't. Evidently I'd been away long enough to be banned and unbanned again. For all I know, I may be banned right now, as I usually am after posting there, but I probably won't know it happened next time I visit unless I get another of those error messages. I'll post a screenshot of it if I do, so y'all won't think I'm making this shit up.
My go-to ASMRtists these days are the French Whisperer and ASMR Historian, both men. I listen to one of the two in bed every night. Both have long nine-hour compilation videos that'll get me through the night. I used to listen to them on an old mobile phone connected to a pillow speaker. That piece of shit phone was buggy as fuck though, so I started putting on a video on my PC in the living room each night before bed, and listening to it from the other room. Their deep masculine voices sound a lot better through the JBLs than through that dinky little speaker anyway. And instead of fiddling with that damned phone, I can fiddle with other things while I drift off to sleep. ๐
To the TERFs at the Farm, let me say this. I think the transgenderism fad will blow over in time. Trans people are already having regrets and de-transitioning. It'll take awhile for enough of them realize it was a mistake that the rest will heed their warnings. Wokeism will eventually peter out altogether as more people wise up and flee the Democrat plantation. These moral panics tend not to last forever, and when they're over, people wonder why they made so much ado over asinine bullshit in the first place.

Let's give this little pot another stir, shall we? For the lulz?
Awhile back, I watched a video made by a young lesbian who says she hates the LBGTQ+ community because it doesn't speak for her anymore. It reminded me of the #WalkAway movement, in which disaffected liberals flee the Democrat Party.
So yeah, it makes sense that some feminists and lesbians might not care for a movement in which they take back seat to the latest fads in queerness. All of the "gendie" stuff, as they call it, knocks them down a rung in the wokeists' oppressed victim hierarchy. It foils their plans for a female supremacist world in which women can have their cake and eat it too. It's easy to see why they'd resent that.
Feminists weren't like that when I was growing up. I mean a lot of lesbians probably hated men, but most of the gay girls I've met didn't. Straight feminists ranted about the partiarchy, but they didn't demonize men per se. To the contrary, their messaging was inclusive towards men.
That's what I don't get about these TERFs over at the Farm. They don't just hate men who are transitioning into women, they hate all men. With a passion. They have more in common with all the other woke male haters than with traditional feminists. They sure as shit aren't conservatards.
Are they all lesbian? The way they write makes them sound like rabid bull dykes with the sides of their heads shaved and their remaining hair chopped short and dyed blue.
The thing is, they seem to hate women too. You'd think feminists would be supportive of women on the Internet, but these broads aren't. They talk shit about women as much as they talk shit about men. They use the same shaming language against other women that the wokeists use against everybody.
Sis, if you hate everybody, then there's no way you can tell me you don't hate yourself.
How did all this hatemongering get started in the first place? Here's the scenario I'm picturing. All of these young women enter college looking and acting like normal, well-adjusted girls, and emerge looking and screeching like warthogs from hell; therefore, the brainwashing must be happening in the universities.
My guess is that some deranged old broad, probably a bored Ivy League professor, dropped a hit of LSD one day and dreamed up another of those batshit pseudo-scientific social theories radicals are always coming up with. She wrote a book, it became radical canon, and naive girls lapped it up. A lot of young women have low self-esteem, and will gravitate towards something that promises to empower them. Girls also tend to avoid STEM — fields that require logic and reasoning — but the fuzzy "sciences" are like catnip to them.3
Anyhoo, e-mail me if you know the title of that book. I want to see what kind of mental gymnastics they went through to rationalize the behavior we see today.
There's always the possibility that the nonnas are all men, and the whole feminazi cult act is some kind of imageboard LARP. Kek.
Aaaaand Update

The jokes really do write themselves, guys. It turns out that a paranoid schizophrenic attempted murderess and prostitute named Valerie Solanas is behind all of the "intersectionalist" horseshit that's causing the young'uns to lose their goddamned minds. What is it with radical feminists and turning tricks anyway? Any dumb whore will tell you that kind of life isn't good for your mental health, and will probably give you a shitty attitude towards men.
I guess it should come as no surprise that wokeists and terminal wave feminists4 all act like mental patients. Look where they get their delusions.
Guys, I really do try to take a moderate stance on most things, but the left keeps pushing me towards the right. They can cry all they want about the right being "divisive," but they're the ones who keep insisting on separating everybody into mutually hostile groups of "oppressors" and "marginalized" people. They're the ones ginning up animosity amongst the various groups. They want us to be divided. They need for us to be divided. If everybody got along, their batshit shrieking would have zero real or imaginary basis. It seems that every doomsday scenario proves to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What are we doing here anyway? Why do we keep giving mentally ill attention whores the attention they crave? Why are we letting the lunatic fringe dominate public discourse? I mean yeah, the Internet amplifies dogshit, but are we not grown ass adults? Do we lack the self-control to ignore the clown show? Are we so resigned to a dystopian fate of civil disorder that we can't muster the fortitude to preserve society by putting insane people in asylums and violent criminals in jail? These folks don't want to make the world a better place because they're invested in their cult dogma, not in humanity. Identity politics is all they know and all they are. Without it, they're nothing.
1. That's why Trump won in a nutshell. Pandering to fringe activists while vilifying the working class as they struggle to feed and house their families doesn't seem to win votes for some reason. ⮥
2. If you really hate the way things are in America, you can always do what some butthurt woke celebrities are doing and leave. ⮥
3. Notably, people like Gwynneth Paltrow make bank on that kind of nonsense. ⮥
4. I'm gonna start referring to "fourth wave" feminism as "terminal wave" because it's literally impossible for it to get any loonier. ⮥
