What Is Woke Culture?

Has "wokeness" ruined everything? That's the question which spurred a podcast by Ash Sarkar, a twenty-something British academic media darling who contributes to The Guardian and The Independent and is featured in this latest post by British YouTuber, Sargon of Akkad.

First, Sarkar asks, "What is woke culture?" pretending exasperation and ignorance. Later in the interview, she opines:

"Woke is accepting that LGBT identities are valid and should be protected under the law; that woke culture is an acknowledge-ment that racialized outcomes, reproduced through institutions in society and people of color measurably are treated differently... what I want, at an interpersonal level is understanding, empathy and solidarity and at a political level, I want the pursuit of redistributive goals, whether that's power, whether that's wealth, whether that's land, in order to pursue aims of social justice, along class, gender and race lines."

Sargon of Akkad agrees. "This is actually an excellent definition of woke culture, because it shows us that we are dealing with a radical movement, that violates some of the fundamental values of modern, Liberal Britain. Primarily, that we do not think of arbitrary characteristics, like race, gender and anything else should be factors that contribute to outcomes, wherever possible and that we believe that a person's private property should, in fact be protected by the state, using the law and not taken away from a person by the state, instead.

"Appropriating people's wealth and land, then re-distributing it along race, gender and class lines seems like an aberrant violation of those values and would naturally be seen as unethical by someone who is not a part of woke culture and follows the traditional values of modern Britain."

Like Saikat Chakrabarti, AOC's race-baiting svengali and former chief-of-staff, who's done so much to inject a new brand of hysterical, racial divisiveness into the American political process, Sarkar is also the child of Bangladeshi immigrants. Both project ancestral traumas onto the West while strategically weaponizing White Guilt to advance their goal of Global Communism.

Neither complains about Bangladesh, where Islam is the state religion and homosexuality is still punishable by life imprisonment; where the Islamization of that country was defined by overthrowing the Varna caste system, the most skin color-obsessed means of social control ever devised, lasting millennia and still going strong throughout South Asia - now replaced with its Muslim version of "Ashrafs" who claim superior status derived from Persian, Turkic and Arab ancestry or alleged descent from Muhammad.

They don't complain about Bangladesh because it doesn't have the capital that they want to see "redistributed" along identitarian lines.

This, while they subscribe to "Luxury Communism". Sarkar's boss, Aaron Bastani wrote a manifesto about it. Luxury Communism is technocratic utopianism that's about "fully embracing automation" and how technology will reduce the value of commodities – food, healthcare and housing – towards zero and how synthetic biology will prolong life and virtually eliminate disease.

Such things may indeed come to pass – but it sure as Hell won't be because of a Global Communism!

These people are young and so steeped in ideology that they don't see how Big Tech, influenced by Marxist and Postmodernist thought has already created a monopolistic combine of censorship, surveillance, social engineering, resulting in our current stealth digital totalitarianism with a corporatist, "social justice" veneer.

The unprecedented collaboration between Big Tech, with the mass media and the intelligence agencies to saturate the infosphere with their chosen narrative and to ban all others is decidedly not taking us to the "world of liberty, luxury and happiness", of which the wokesters dream.
