I’m always in complete shock of how we have attained nearly peak socialization for social rules so universally stupid and contradictory. From a cultural basis socialization is very expensive in that societies exert enormous effort through school, government, family, media or religion to inculcate certain values and worldviews in their populations. If you read history you realize this is normally an incomplete goal with the peasants or fringe regions not belonging to whatever shared elite vision existed.
The thing is that Wokeness is complete rejection of our biological nature. We know from mountains of scientific evidence that humans have an innate nature passed through our blood that’s quite complex and contextually important. We know in our blood what the normal roles for men and women are, how governments works, how social class works or that we want to mate and thrive given that’s how our ape ancestors evolved. Wokeness is a society collectively agreeing to believe things that everyone subconsciously knows is a lie. You know they know they’re lying at their core, although not their exterior face, since they bear such enormous psychological costs in maintaining the lie in about a dozen ways.
Much like the Soviet Union we exist in a society with a publicly facing reality practically no one, including supposedly free content creators breaks calls out, and then the collective reality we all have to live in. The gap between our real lives and the public reality is several continents.
How come the Woke were so successful? I’m shocked there aren’t more autists, rednecks, rich people, history or literature buffs or religious people who haven’t bought into the system who just laugh at it. Everyone else ever in history thinks this is insane and evil. There are history books everywhere and no one notices. We somehow forgot all the basic truths that kept our ancestors alive overnight.
Growing up I was taught all these WASP adjacent politeness and it was kinda difficult to remember all of it as a kid but the amount of completely incomprehensible social rules that exist now are so huge I’m in shock we remember all of them as a society. Keep in mind most people aren’t particularly intelligent or driven but they follow the code scrupulously. For every social rule we have we have another opposing one. The question is which opposing principle to pick in a certain context and then doublethink to the opposite point when necessary. This is no way for a man to live.
