The 1930s and 1940s seem like a golden age for our culture, although aspects of those times are best left behind. However, the excuse that the problems of those times, namely and mostly related to inequality on a racial or gender basis, warrant an assault on the underlying moral foundations of that culture is disingenuous. Our aim is to not merely restore the best elements and sociocultural constructs of this golden age of our culture but to advance further and to discard the flaws.
In many ways, but certainly not all, in order to advance American culture further to benefit more people, we need to go back to the 30s and 40s for inspiration, albeit not by simply trying to reconstitute the past.
Often we speak of the depraved culture or corrupt culture. When we do, we are speaking of the fake “culture” PRESENTED to us through the endless noise of the entertainment world, academia, and media, a loud and continuous noise presented as if IT was THE culture embraced by all.
A small qualifying statement is needed: we use the phrase “woke savage” to identify the hypothetical persona which is a threat to our our freedom and way of life. This is rhetorical flourish. Most people who consider themselves woke are not savages hell-bent on chaos or coercing others, but there are leading voices who sound more like the spirit of the woke savage. So, “woke savages” aren’t actual people, it simply a rhetorical device for identifying a type of extreme persona which people may tend to emulate to some degree or another, but it’s not an actual person per se. For instance, we may say President Biden at times gives lip service to or channels the spirit of the woke savage, but we aren’t saying he IS a woke savage.
Let’s begin with discussing the NOISE that presents itself to us everyday.
Most people in most places most of the time are not embracing the noise as something that reflects who they are. They may be foolishly, recklessly, bowing to it or being silent when it comes calling and demands their nods of approval. When they are told to stop seeing gender as a biological construct but as a social construct and yet also that sexual orientation is purely biological, they just nod along without sincerely agreeing because they “don’t need the hassle.”
The noise, filled with nonsense about race-baiting and gender-bending and flooded with utopian promises about how government can meet every need if only it had more power, begins to feel like the culture it is covering over. The noise isn’t the culture that is actually practiced by anyone save the hardcore partisan. No serious person who embraces a Judeo-Christian culture doubts their biological gender or that sexual orientation is mostly a choice, even if it has biological causes as well.
The average person who follows our Judeo-Christian moral tradition knows they are not racist just because of their skin color. They know that “the white race” isn’t any more prone to imperialism than any national groups of people throughout history who gained power and military advantage.
The noise presents what seems to us is a morally backward, barbaric libertinism. It presents this as the norm but the average person in this country still wants a happy marriage with their own children and a loving family life in a home they own. It is also true the average person doesn’t much care that others may want something different. They begin to bridle when they are vilified for being “cisgender breeders” and when their choice of marriage and family life is treated as if it is fringe.
Historians know that when you study the official records of a society you may not be seeing things as they really were in that society. The leavings of the record, the noise which covered over that society’s culture, may in fact be more fanciful or aspirational than reflective or accurate. Did this or that Pharaoh really conquer this place or win public furvor for their policies?
Often the official record is “clarified” or contradicted by archeology. We find that the record of many battles between Hittites and Egyptians is contradictory, both sides presenting an entirely different picture.
If one sees the “record” of our time it would seem like the vast majority of people were gender-bending, race-conscious, woke zealots who feared the earth was about to overheat and die unless we turned off technology and reverted to the stone age. But that “record”, all this noise, is a lie. It’s not how things are. It’s how those who make the most noise seem to want things to be and, sadly, it reflects their growing authoritarian intolerance toward any and all forms of dissent from their fake narrative.
The problem is that the noise is not without meaning or influence. The number of young people confused about gender, thanks to this noise, has skyrocketed and is only getting worse. Years ago we warned that the gender-bending agenda would come for our kids and that even public schools would pressure young people to not only accept and participate in this libertine depravity or be shunned and shamed. That is literally beginning to happen.
Eventually, if the people of the deeper culture acquiesce to the noise, the noise, like a virus, infects the whole and destroys it from within. Eventually, the noise, which is artificial and fake, replaces the real, but not necessarily with itself. The destroyed culture doesn’t just become like the noise, it will mutate in ways nobody expects and become something hideous or break down to chaotic ruin, a rule of the wild in which only the strong survive. The woke anti-culture can never win because it is not natural and doesn’t reflect the reality of human nature. It can, however, so destroy civilized culture, centered on marriage and the family, that what emerges is barbaric pre-culture, savagery.
The truth here is that the noise of this anti-culture of woke barbaric, libertine, authoritarianism cannot replace our deeper culture. But it can destroy it, leaving only a savage pre-culture in its wake. In this scenario, the economic and societal chaos that follows a country that embraces anti-culture as policy will lead to a savage pre-culture where only base survival instinct reigns and only the strong can survive.
The noise of gender-bending, race-baiting, earth-worshipping, and all these other anti-culture ways has no basis in reality or human nature. Creating policies based on this and teaching this as gospel to our children is mass suicide for our country. The archetypical “woke savage” with this anti-culture fake narrative should be shunned off the stage, not lionized or feared, let alone submitted to. This archetype, the woke savage, can be seen as morally criminal because it conducts its abuse against children on a massive scale by dementing their minds with this coerced fake narrative.
The woke savage is a caricature and an archetype that too many people in high places seem to increasingly emulate in real life. So we will use this archetype as shorthand for the overall agenda and its most ardent and more authoritarian perpetrators.
The noise generated by “woke savages” isn’t the culture. We are the culture if we hold on to our culture and resist the woke savge and its anti-culture. We have to insist on fundamental cultural truths, such as that marriage is one man and one woman and most children should be raised by their own biological parents. (Yes, adoption is a thing as well for orphans and abandoned children, who also deserve a father and mother.)
Our culture doesn’t need or demand coercion. In other words, while we may believe marriage is one man and one woman, we can respect those who don’t and who define things differently. We are not affected if your marriage is defined differently than ours, as long as that respect flows in both directions. But if your demands are for respect towards you that isn’t reciprocated, then we have a classic “either-or” scenario where it’s either we get our version of marriage or you get yours.
We can insist gender is biology, but there is no need to disrespect those for whom it is a social construct. For instance, if you want to be called “zir” and “dir” as your pronouns, we may respect that as long as you don’t make it a demand or go onto histrionic outrage when or if we “slip” and call you “he” or “him” because you LOOK to us like a he or a him. Respect that doesn’t flow both ways isn’t respect at all!
The fact Twitter, a major, if not the major, means of sociopolitical discourse in this country, bans anyone who doesn’t go along with their “gender as a social construct” ideology is an example of why people see the platforms as coercive and, frankly, bigoted. Their corporate culture, enforced in their “community standards”, is bigoted against those of a more traditional Judeo-Christian worldview! This may be their “right”, but it doesn’t mean it is right!
The woke anti-culture wants to redefine everything and wants a society classified by racial constructs into oppressed and virtuous groups versus oppressors who are inherently and unforgivably “racist”, but all of whom are non-genderee and undifferentiated, atomized cogs in their woke dictatorship’s machine. Additionally, the woke savage spirit seems to demand every major corporation, which controls our access and means to discourse and commerce, incorporate its edicts as “community standards” used to banish the dissenting.
To the credit of some platforms, these demands are not always agreed to, but the noise and pressure, now official, to do so is growing. Anyone, left or right, who runs afoul of the woke savage is finding it a tougher go on platforms that are more sensitive to the woke fringe noise than to their actual users.
Nothing these woke savage spirit invokes is rational, it doesn’t reflect reality and it doesn’t reflect human nature. Given time, any country that embraces this barbaric, primitive, and animalistic anti-culture will become a dystopian hellscape of pure ruin.
Our culture, founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian ideas and values, is within us and remains, for the most part, the way of life for most people in this country. It is the best culture in human history, despite the flaws of its people, which flaws are a reflection of deviations from the fundamental values of that culture, not a reflection thereof.
The woke savage wants to use deviations by some leaders and individuals of influence from our cultural foundation as a means of deconstruction and invalidation. It wants to tear down everything good and replace it with something unnatural, archaic, and backwards.
We have to stop listening to the noise. We have to stop bowing to the noise. We have to start making our own noise. We are a Judeo-Christian culture and our fundamental truths, principles, and values are not going to be surrendered! We will not bow to a small, vocal minority or the spirit of the woke savage anti-culture and its hard-core zealots whose totalitarianism is all too visible.
If you think gender is a social construct AND all who disagree should be bansihed or that all white people are racist, then you have joined the ranks of the barbaric anti-culture. If you go l think anyone who refuses to agree with your fake narrative should be canceled, then you are a totalitarian thug. We don’t have a dialogue. We don’t need to talk. You either back off or we back you off. You take your craven lust for power and go away.
Our right and our ability to preserve our Judeo-Christian culture and its ways in our lives, relationships, free associations, and communities cannot be questioned. Any entity, public or private, aiming at limiting our freedom and trying to make life hard for us, by abusing its monopoly stranglehold over our means of commerce and discourse, should be “nuked from orbit”, as it were.
We don’t demand everyone live as we do. We don’t even care if YOU think gender is a social construct! What we won’t submit to or tolerate is a demand that we abondon our way of life and cultural convictions about the very nature of humanity and human relationships so you can feel good about your choices. This means we will keep saying gender is 100% biological, marriage is best between one man and one woman for life, and all children should be raised by their own biological parents, while orphans and abandoned children should be adopted by a mom and dad.
Because we value pluralism and respect freewil, we don’t care if you disagree and organize yourself or your communities around different ideas and beliefs. In our schema, you are free to live what we see as a woke anti-culture, what you may see as “progress” or “evolution.” But in your schema, you don’t allow for dissent from your fake narrative, and yes we know you don’t think it is fake. You want your beliefs codified into law, you want punishments for dissent in the name of “anti hate speech”, you demand internal banishment for dissenters from all platforms where most all discourse and commerce MUST occur, and you demand children at the youngest age be indoctrinated with your ideas and shamed by public schools unless they participate in your lifestyle.
Some may argue, “it’s convenient that now that the Judeo-Christian worldview is being proscribed you traditionalists suddenly want to preach pluralism.” This is a valid criticism of our culture. It has accepted and embraced the idea that the coercive power should enforce its sociocultural constructs as law. But so has almost every culture in human history. The desire to construct laws around your sociocultural norms is itself a norm!
If anything “good” comes from the woke anti-culture and it’s attack on the Judeo-Christian culture it is a realization that in embracing the coercive power as a culture-enforcer we have sowed the seeds of our own ruin. The very apparatus our ancestors erected to enforce their sociocultural constructs in law is now being used to proscribe those constructs by force or through the monopolistic powers of mega corporations which control commerce and discourse.
The coercive power should absolutely enforce a free and pluralistic norm and punish those who infringe on the rights, persons, and property of others, including their rights to free association and free expression. And, yes, it should absolutely prevent a monopolistic cabal from infringing on the rights of others to create competitive structures and platforms their collusion aimed at their economic ruin.
When communications and internet infrastructure providers who have most of the market share banish dissenters or dissenting platforms, such as a browser blocking a website, then, yes, the coercive power has a vested interest in stopping this artificial manipulation of the marketplace. It is one thing for platforms to have their own community standards, it is another for them to go outside and try to interfere with other platforms to prevent competition.
But, for the most part, this is not the case, most of the woke savage ideation is contained within some of these platforms and it remains possible to build alternatives.
If we manage to vanquish the anti-culture of the woke savage, we cannot outlaw it or its practitioners. We cannot ever again rely on or seek the coercive power to enforce our sociocultural constructs. We must depend on the soft power of freewill participation to perpetuate and preserve our chosen way of life. If indeed our culture is as superior as we say it is, then purely voluntary participatory free association should be all we need to advance it and maintain it. Its obvious benefits and good fruits should be visible proof as to its veracity.
We do not condemn our ancestors. To do so would be to hold them to an impossible standard. The evolution of human civilization toward a voluntary free association instead of pure barbaric coercion has involved a process of thousands of years. What our ancestors did was lay the foundation upon which we could build our present understanding of culture as a voluntary participatory free association that ought not be coercively imposed. Without their achievements we could not even have this discussion.
We have the woke savages to thank for showing us rather graphically how our present system of state and monopoly corporate coercive controls is inherently flawed and poses a real threat to our human dignity and our culture. We must build a civilizational paradigm wherein culture is strictly voluntary and where the political and corporate worlds have almost nothing to do with sociocultural constructs between groups of people on freewill participation association.
But first we have to recognize and turn off the constant and deceptive noise. You who still embrace the norms of a Judeo-Christian culture are still in the majority. The noise-making woke savages are a fringe who have managed to grab ahold of the topmost parts of our institutions and they are using this platform, built and funded by us, to abuse the entire country with their anti-culture barbarism.
We must turn off the noise from these corrupted institutions, especially the two major political parties and mega corporations infected by these savages, and we must make our own noise through strictly voluntary alternative institutions. To use a phrase our woke enemies coined, “we must be the change we want to see.”
What we want to see is sociocultural constructs on the basis of freewill participatory association alone and a pluralism that allows people to form freewill participatory associations as they deem fit so long as this is voluntary and so long as it respects the rights, persons, and property of others. We don’t simply want to roll back the clock to when our culture was enforced coercively or its privileges limited by race or gender: these are flaws we happily abandon because they are actually antithetical to the deeper foundations of our culture!
The noise of the anti-culture is a lie, it is a fake narrative relying on the hard, but weaker, force of corporate and governmental coercion aimed at the rights of freewill participatory association, which right is owned by individuals. Yes, when you deplatform someone from a platform that is the predominant way we engage in social and economic intercourse because they defy your woke anti-culture, then this is coercion. It may be legal coercion and our responses may be simply “unhitching” from your “martix”, but it is still coercive by intent.
Our solution to the woke anti-culture coerciveness of the state and monopoly corporations is actually not to coerce them back. In this case, fighting fire with fire only leads to more burning and damage. We can never return to the idea of coercing even these coercive private companies, we simply have to build alternative structures outside their control and only when or if they seek to damage our alternative structures in illegal ways should we appeal to law.
This is a process. It isn’t going to happen overnight. It is simply our only path.
First, recongize that the woke anti-culture promoted by all this noise still remains a lunatic fringe. Even some of these monopoly corporations are beginning to see that the woke anti-culture noise is distracting and harmful to their own operations. It is not impossible to think that some of these platforms may realize they have swung too far from the sentiment and interest of their users and they must move back toward tolerance and liberty. If they don’t, eventually they will lose users and new alternatives will emerge.
Second, recognize that our own collective embracing of coercive power to enforce our sociocultural constructs has created the very spirit of the woke savage that is now haunting for us. We can never return to that.
Third, recognize that our Judeo-Christian culture is superior only because its benefits and fruits can be seen and achieved without any form of coercion. If we have to use coercion to maintain our culture than our culture our culture is inferior.
Fourth, recognize the need to support and participate in alternative structures, including things like our new platform we are building, that perpetuate our culture on a strictly voluntary basis. We need our own means of discourse, economic interaction, and sociocultural connections that isn’t dependent upon the structures that are presently dominated by the anti-culture.
Fifth, we must NOT become that which our enemies have become, intolerant monsters who barely consider people outside their sociocultural constructs to be completely human. We cannot become bigoted and intolerant toward people whose views and practices don’t align with our culture or religion. This won’t stop the woke savages from lying about us and calling us bigots for simply preferring our way of life above all others, for them it’s “submit or be canceled”, for us it remains, “live and let live” and we cannot abandon that.
