Okay, a civil war in ANOTHER COUNTRY from decades ago has no relevance to the Woke Left in AMERICA.The Spanish civil war happened because a lot of Spanish people were terminally online I'm guessing.

The only reason elites and corporations are catering to the Woke Left is because of money.There is a rumor going around some circles that the whole WOKE bullshit was introduced into activist groups during the time of Occupy Wall Street in 2011 because the elite were scared shitless of such an organic grassroots movement that was calling them out, and as such they weaseled the whole SJW thing into their groups in order to divide them in order to render them inert. Sadly, it worked.
That is a reason, but not the reason.The only reason elites and corporations are catering to the Woke Left is because of money.
What was the point of Occupy Wall Street? How did that start and why?
He thought it would end around Trump's reelection. But with Coronavirus and that mob at the Capitol, who knows when. Best thing I could say is just wait until they eat their own with Biden's presidency or Harris puts her foot down.

There could very well be some cosmic astrological things behind it as well, but that isn't my forte. It is really strange how it pretty much appeared out of the blue during 2012, though, and never really faded away. You'd think that it would. A lot of those whose brains have melted from it weren't anything like that prior to the cursed zeitgeist, either. That is the one thing that I thought was truly odd about it.
I'm not seeing how this ends without some kind of war, especially after the Capital riot.
Before it was a Netflix series it was a movie filmed in 2013 and released in 2014, so it seems to be one of the earliest examples of the "woke" zeitgeist.In case people are wondering where did the term "woke" originated, it came from a Netflix series called Dear White People. One of the characters would say "stay woke," the current year version of "Wake up!"
I've heard the term "woke" used since IIRC the early 2010's, and it was kind of used interchangeably between being a far-left IdPol spastic or being a brain-dead hippie (although both groups are related). "Woke" was essentially the Millennial equivalent to the Boomer/hippie term "aware", i.e. someone who decided to use drugs and expand their mind.In case people are wondering where did the term "woke" originated, it came from a Netflix series called Dear White People.

Joe Rogan?Powerleveling a bit here, but I used to be friends with kind of a crazy bitch a few years back who was very apolitical and very much not an SJW, then she fried her brains with drugs and became a crazy born again Christian. I still see her on social media, but we never talk. All day on Facebook she constantly shares these copypasta Boomer memes about astrology, other dimensions, karma, etc. and hashtags it with #woke. She never says anything anti or pro Trump, and instead just rambles inanely about the cosmos and god and whatever.
Over the years, I've slowly realized it's actually all of the above.
But prior to the Obama years, this was all largely confined to the fringe

This and the school system being taken over by Marxists. Woke is just the latest in the radical left's slow but steady effort to take over the world. Sadly they are winning.I blame industrial society and it's consequences.
I blame regular people for that. They kept refusing to listen when evidence kept piling up.This and the school system being taken over by Marxists. Woke is just the latest in the radical left's slow but steady effort to take over the world. Sadly they are winning.
To be fair, regular people just want to live their lives as best they can. Go to work, make a living, have hobbies, return to their loved ones without having politics invade their lives 24/7.I blame regular people for that. They kept refusing to listen when evidence kept piling up.
And now they pay the price for it when if they cared a decade earlier, law and order would still function.To be fair, regular people just want to live their lives as best they can. Go to work, make a living, have hobbies, return to their loved ones without having politics invade their lives 24/7.
Again, the 10s seemed optimistic at the time. And they started that way. Politics was mainly boring in the sense that they didn't have long term ramifications for the average person.And now they pay the price for it when if they cared a decade earlier, law and order would still function.
Never understood why people say this, but how come everyone always claims that the genie cannot be put back? What's realistically stopping them? What's stopping a strong rise of another fascistic regime like Hitler that stops all this? People listen to power. We have just witnessed everyone blindly following along with the covid hoax where everyone just gives away their liberties and freedoms because the government says so.Kumbaya, let's sit in a circle. Everybody is right!
It may be all of the above, but it definitely is some things more than others. Because it always is. Statistically you're never going to get 5 equally contributing causes and it is well worth it identifying which contributed the most.
Which are the strongest?
Yes, things that grow over time need vacuums to grow towards. This is as true when Rome fell and islam started to fill its place south of the regions we now call france and italy.
Culturally that is no different. With the decline of the religious right as both media and higher education steer people away from that, the vacuum is filled. It's a cultural revolution.
The things they stand for, very young age of indoctrination of homosexuality, transgenderism, that happens because it is part of their religious/cultural tenets. The religious right wants you to sing songs about jesus and that you belong to a higher plan. The progressive left wants to talk about how to lose your anal virginity and that you may not even be a boy or girl.
Revolutions happen all the time. There are still people that think there will be a back to normal after covid. But we just experienced another revolution. There will be a before covid and an after when read from history books in 2050.
Same thing with sexual revolution. Yes it's valuable to examine, but the genie doesn't get put back.
Is it really a surprise that cultural movements become mainstream when voted into the white house?
