Around the world, people are reacting against having ‘white privilege’ and ‘transgender affirmation’ shoved down their throats. In general, most people hate wokeness, or, at the very least, are averse to it. Yet the movement keeps marching on, and schools, corporations and governments which push it are not, in fact, going ‘broke’. Yes, they might take a hit here and there, but we are certainly not seeing anything approaching defeat.
This is on point. We won't turn this around via market forces, normal politics, or by owning the libs with facts and logic. A spontaneous peasant revolt isn't in the cards, and in any case those have never worked. The elites need to be replaced, and that will require conquerors.
I believe it is this, and not the restless natives, that has the elites spooked. They've got a bad case of imposter syndrome, and are likely only too aware how precarious their position is given that they are widely despised and distrusted. When a rival elite emerges - and I believe that is already happening - the transfer of loyalty and therefore authority could be quite abrupt.
Trenchant analysis of extremely confounding times.
Reality seems to be optional of late. Biology, physics, definitions; once thought immutable are now immutable-ish. And the lack of push-back is jaw dropping. EVERY institution seems captured by this mind virus of DEI. It’s like COVID hysteria, only it’s here to stay.
Jeff Childers of Coffee and COVID mentioned just the other day in reference to men competing in women’s sports and the sexual
mutilation of children that a society that is incapable of protecting its women and children is irretrievably lost, and by rights does not deserve to survive. Hard to argue against.
I think that you are channeling Nietzsche when you call for a noble aristocracy, and I agree completely. Only, all I see are charlatans, degenerates and a populace just comfortable enough to not truly demand better of our leaders and institutions.
That said, I anxiously await your next installment.
Yes, look at the notable difference one powerful and influential person - Elon Musk - has made, in the war against the woke virus. But you are right, that it won't come from the general public, That is evidenced by the success of Madsen and Kirk's 'After the ball' strategy, and the zombie-like acceptance of the Covid narrative and its rituals. The issue is that most normal people just want to get on with life, not get involved in the culture wars, whereas the activists are aggressively focused on transforming society as you described.
By this, I mean that we need a new class of aristocrats, true to the etymology of the word, ‘excellent rulers’, who will challenge and dislodge the managerial class.
This would be nice, but it might take decades to happen. In the meantime, I think our only practical option is to secede from the culture. Growing our own food, keeping chickens, building a home gym, getting meat from local ranchers, and killing Netflix, social media, and Amazon are concrete ways to push back that don't require waiting for other people to get their act together.
Fantastic read! I’ve often wondered why these organizations would take the financial hit for woke’s sake. Always figured it was because the globalist Black Rock organizations that are pulling the strings. But as the onion is peeled back why does Larry Fink or any other globalist billionaire give a shit about trannys or minorities? Or is this just a way to tear it all down?
Point of information: I know many members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence personally. They are not "anti-Christian." They don't actually have an articulated doctrine, but to the degree that they promote a point of view, there is no anti-Christianity in their beliefs, and in fact several that I know are devout, practicing Christians. Almost all of what they do is charity work, because they take the tradition of the religious community extremely seriously.
I tend to think of Social Justice Inc. as the establishment of a new Church/State ruling coalition between the global corporatists and the Soc Just theocrats. The corporatists receive moral legitimacy for all their projects (Diversity! only bigots disagree!), a pretext for rearranging society while controlling all our deeds and thoughts (you were about to harm the marginalized!) plus access to social media mob justice, which is an incredibly powerful tool to silence any opposition.
The Social Just people get what every religion wants: official recognition, some input into various schemes, at least one of their commissars on the payroll everywhere, and of course their first and deepest need met: to destroy their ideological enemies and ruthlessly install their morality anywhere and everywhere.
In our secular age people forget that a Church/State coalition has been the basic ruling scheme since probably the first major civilizations, and that a ruling class always had to gain the imprimatur of the priestly class and be seen as both political and religious leaders, ie. holy and sacred.
Social Justice Inc. (as the post stated) is the new official state religion, and as it speaks to the needs of both the corporate class and the young and deracinated who are much more likely to locate the sacred in George Floyd or Jazz Jennings than in Jesus or Jehovah, it will be the ruling dispensation and ideology of the Anglosphere for at least the next few decades.

Pride goes before a fall, I trust the Bible. I don’t trust in man. We must strive for excellent rulers , our country depends on it.

Public-private partnerships were the hole in the tent that the fascist camel is pushing through.

The Silicon Valley technocrats may be part of an elite revolution.

It's not a movement.
homo sapien has turned into homo apathy-cus
Looking forward to the second part. We need to reclame the sanity
Well said. Not sure if your answer is the correct one or not but at least it's out there.
Might makes right.
Blind breeds blind.
Pride brings blight.
Fight pyre with fire.
