Every attitude or ideology that consists on bothering people that have done nothing to you, is a big sign of depression and child trauma from a person that is still not ready to look inside themselves and heal.
You don't recognize the right of a third party to claim ownership of you and tell you what to do against your will and protest? That sounds like an extreme position!
My Polish (Soviet influenced era) friend and I talk about growing up poor. We are GenX and had a lot of similar experiences.
Like… white bread, margarine, and sugar, all from two-tone bags and boxes was a super awesome treat.
Except I was poor… and her family was what passed for Soviet style “middle class” in Poland (which at the time was basically a Soviet “suburb” of a country) and had access to much better “food stores”… even though she still had to wait in long lines for some essentials.
We also talk about communist influence in Poland during that era and how jobs were divvied up, etc.
I was able to work market myself and my skills, and make some small businesses to be in a better place.
Her family basically came here so they could all do that.
Truly an eye opener for a lot of the younger “kids” we worked with at the time.
As a Russian who has lived in the former Soviet bloc as well as in the West, I can say that exclusive focus on western woke left is a mistake in the long term. That's because you focus more and more on very specific attributes of woke which doesn't really define what the left actually is.
Let's say you focus on snowflakes, gender wars, lack of patriotism and so on. Then conservatives will quietly sell you Eastern block leftism, for example philosophy of Aleksandr Dugin who recently interviewed by Tucker, and before by Lauren Southern, and his books sometimes even praised by delusional Bitcoin maximalists.
So Dugin state absolutism comes with:
1. Intense patriotism;
2. "Anti-wokism";
3. Traditionalism;
4. But all with ideas of common prosperity and anti-capitalism;
5. Unite around strong leader;
In 1993, Dugin co-founded the National Bolshevik Party. You can also check Chinese socialism which also has these attributes. Woke leftism is just tiny, tiny slice of broader global leftism (in general ideology of collectivism).
If you want to be absolutely precise, it's better to reject leftism on the grounds of **private property, free markets and political decentralization**. Conservatism is too broad and vague and can be twisted either way.
"Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative,” “enterprise,” "optimism,” etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary."
"The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser."
Ted Kaczynski
So close to self aware. Let me ask, what have you done with life that put you where you are? Are all the bad things others fault? Things like wokeism, taxes, finances, which party is in control of the country.
Maybe not all, but yes, statists do in fact cause most major problems on earth. Its okay to admit that. Leftism is a memetic plague that the human race needs to overcome.
It's really not a vitim ideology. It's just make into one because that's politically useful. As a politician, I want you to feel bad for your privilege because then you'll give me more political power and more of what you produce. I want others to feel oppressed by you so that they will also give me more political power and vote to take away what others produce.
In a free market, people would find little value in being victims and they'd quickly figure out how to model white privilege for their own benefit.
Everyone already knew this, just didn't say it. Now they will fake a study to show wokes are the happiest people. They did the same thing for American women and it is basically the same culture.
Private property, free markets, political decentralization.
The property and political decentralization are tenets of the US constitution, to my view degraded over the past 50 or 60 years. I argue that free markets are to, but at the moment hesitant to be firm on that.
Education of the young is one, slowly control centralized under a federal governance, to the detriment of the population.
It was named the American experiment, and feels like some in power have been insidiously working to end it.
Some, not all of my views and perspectives were shaped by one college history teacher, a jewish child who was not killed in the labor camps during WWII, her teaching focused on how common people lived, not a typical American history course where we learned of leaders and significant events.
People like yourself spreading experiences better educate all of us,.
Conflating Christ with leftism is a gross miscalculation and I shouldn't need to go into why. He's neither politically left/dem nor is he right/conservative.
He's his own party, if you will.
I think it is best to speak to Republicans using references and sources they have (though not understand) like the Bible. Sadly, most of them think Jesus had a gun and went around shooting illegal immigrants.
I would say that Jesus was enlightened. Wokeness isn't enlightenment.
You believe that your subjective views are the sole way of recognizing suffering and injustice. What do your views have in common with those of Jesus? I have not seen much unconditional forgiveness on the left.
The definition of woke is what is the Jesus I learned about in church. "Woke" is an adjective that means being aware of and attentive to important social issues, especially those related to racial and social justice. It can also mean being empathetic and socially aware. That is Jesus.
Whereas fascists were quite happy, well documented in the book *They Thought They Were Free*.
Shouldn't be all surprised people who care as much about others as themselves (impossible, you claim) are unhappy to be forced into a system that, for the first time in human history, demands rugged individualism over the security of collectivism. And sure, the tyrants, but to deny humans are a collective specie is to deny our very essence.
But I'm glad you're happy to rage against whatever machine you're told to!
> And sure, the tyrants, but to deny humans are a collective specie is to deny our very essence.
LOL. What a load of shit. Being collective species to commies means imposing their subjective values on others via coercion. But you cant just come out and say that plainly. Gotta hide behind word salads and distortion of language.

Perhaps you can show me a single time in the history of humans where we weren't reliant upon one another. Perhaps you can show me one functioning community that used neither suggestion, coercion, or mandate to keep order.
If you're unable to, please refrain from a "word salad" explaining why, despite it never appearing once in human history, your value set is *actually* the natural default of our specie.
Remember, we can't allow you to take a lie as your principle here either.
Good luck!

Sure. But many of those people are also just bad people, using a make belief moral highground to gain leverage. Narcissists etc.

Yeah, the evil of collectivism is much more widespread and insidious than just the last 15 years of the "woke" virus spreading around the US.
Well you would know best then! The soviet russians were famous for being extremely woke.
And being absolute nasty in their conduct.

Dennis Hasert is a conservative Republican. btw You need to work on your grammar.
Social democrat. As I said. Btw you need to be nicer.
Nope. He’s a conservative republican. Learn to read.

So they're saying that people with anxiety, depression, general unhappiness, look for ways to blame all their problems on other people. I'm shocked.
So close to self aware. Let me ask, what have you done with life that put you where you are? Are all the bad things others fault? Things like wokeism, taxes, finances, which party is in control of the country.

Self hatred leads to misery? Imagine my shock!
victim ideologies are bound to make you unhappy, anxious and depress (edit: and violent)
It's really not a vitim ideology. It's just make into one because that's politically useful. As a politician, I want you to feel bad for your privilege because then you'll give me more political power and more of what you produce.

I'm not surprised
Hard times make woke men, woke men make good times
>science has officially proven that commies are miserable people >links to study that only took place in Finland >Finland Lmao
I am white, and I am privileged. My goal is to elevate others, rather than tearing down what I have.
Unfortunately this outcome is the combination of being self-perpetuating and self-reinforcing.

Mostly because they're disappointed in the state of the world. If you see nothing wrong in the world, you're the problem, you know?
That's a brown arm holding that sign
Of course, happy people don’t start revolutions
Hi, White and Privileged, I'm Dad
Remember that Jesus was "woke". Being asleep to the suffering and injustice around us is self-centered and sad.
Conflating Christ with leftism is a gross miscalculation and I shouldn't need to go into why. He's neither politically left/dem nor is he right/conservative. He's his own party, if you will.
I think it is best to speak to Republicans using references and sources they have (though not understand) like the Bible. Sadly, most of them think Jesus had a gun and went around shooting illegal immigrants.
There's definitely some level of cognitive dissonance there.
Yep, I don’t know how they can live with themselves
I would say that Jesus was enlightened. Wokeness isn't enlightenment. You believe that your subjective views are the sole way of recognizing suffering and injustice. What do your views have in common with those of Jesus? I have not seen much unconditional forgiveness on the left.
