“As between the racial and sexual self-identity categories, the former holds predominance (i.e., a black man will have a higher status in Wokeness than a white male-by-birth transsexual”
“In other words, “white privilege” trumps what Wokeness terms “cis” privilege where both are at play, and as long as one has the right skin color, the sexual attribute doesn’t add anything; THEREFORE, THE WOKE CLAIM TO AUTHORITY IS ULTIMATELY BASED ON RACIAL CLASSIFICATION.”
“Wokeness also incorporates a page from Communism into its racially-based ideology: it advocates a kind of racial socialism (“racial equity”), in which wealth would be massively re-distributed along racial lines.”
“Where Wokeness differs from its totalitarian predecessors is in the fact that its in-groups and out-groups are not entirely synonymous with or identical to its honored and dishonored groups. The difference is as follows: ⬇︎
honored/dishonored group membership determines the social ranking & relative status of acceptable individuals, whereas in-group/out-group membership determines the acceptability or unacceptability of the individual person in the first place, his right to have any status at all.”
“Fundamentally, then, an individual’s membership in the in-group, his acceptability as a human person with a right to exist, is determined not by his race or sexual self-identity but by his acceptance of the new Woke social contract.”
“An acceptable person is defined as someone who agrees to accept, respect, cherish, and prioritize, over and above any other values he may have had before, ⬇︎
the Woke honored group and dishonored group classifications, and to agree to re-structure all of society, and all facets of his day-to-day life, around them.”
"These individuals are granted the right to live normal lives, or “the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This right does not exist in Wokeness by default, not even for honored group members, and so those Wokeness deems unacceptable are not entitled to it.”
“Although Wokeness expresses active animosity toward dishonored group populations and specifically targets them for re-education and punishment, individuals in this category are allowed to live normal lives for so long as the Woke deem them to be acceptable. ⬇︎
Unlike the honored group individuals, they do not enjoy the benefit of the doubt; they do not default to a state of acceptability. Those among them who earn acceptability are denigrated with a correspondingly low stature within Wokeness itself."
“An unacceptable individual, by contrast, is defined as anyone whose speech or actions demonstrate opposition to the new Woke social contract. Dishonored group members, of course, are held to a higher standard. ⬇︎
They may be deemed unacceptable even if they accept Wokeness but stray from, neglect to heed, or otherwise are felt to be in a state of non-compliance with universal or personalized Woke commands. ⬇︎
Individuals are deemed unacceptable because they stand accused of thinking unacceptable thoughts and vocalizing unacceptable speech. Wokeness terms these “problematic thoughts,” “problematic speech,” and the people who think and speak them “problematic individuals.” ⬇︎
Accused individuals are automatically guilty. Once a person is so labelled and the news has spread through the Internet to the Woke mob, there are no second chances, no possibility of redemption, and no hint of mercy.”
“The Woke in-group category consists of all loyal members of the honored groups, who occupy its upper rung, & those members of dishonored groups who have fully internalized and agreed to act in accordance with their own dishonored status, who are left to take up its lower rung.”
“Although the latter belong to the in-group, and are hence deemed acceptable people despite their membership in a dishonored group, they are accepted only reluctantly as active supporters. They are held at arms length by the movement and assigned a subordinate status within it.”
“As something less than full members, more like associate members of Wokeness, the members of this “allied” subcategory are expected to adopt a submissive, “humble” posture toward the members of honored groups.”
