What is the woke mind virus?  A good working definition would be the belief system that promotes Critical Race Theory (Critical Studies in general), diversity, equity, and inclusion, is against the nuclear family, 4th wave feminism, queer theory, Green extremism, socialist economic policies, and multiculturalism. In short, the doctrines of the International Left and all its domestic and local spin-offs.  It is responsible for many of the social pathologies today. Some examples are:

Perfectly otherwise healthy people are hacking off their own body parts.

The FBI does a fantastic imitation of the Keystone Cops in New Orleans.  The role of Islamic radicalization is ignored while the agency pursues angry mothers and devout Catholics and goes on a wild goose chase trying to find the biggest threat to humanity, “white supremacy.”

Germany, once the powerhouse of Europe, slides into economic recession. Green energy policies make the country uncompetitive. Islamic radicalization is ignored as people die after a truck plows into a festive Christmas crowd.

Fires rage in California, while the highest-paid state employees can’t seem to find water in fire hydrants. Having lesbians as Department leaders is deemed a priority. While wokism does not cause natural disasters, bad water, and forest management can surely compound the problem. California is endowed with the Sierra Nevada and has ample rainfall if it is stored.  It has a long coastline, and they could have been running desalination plants as Israel does.

England, once the seedbed for liberty, is imprisoning people for comments on social media while hiding from the public years of rape culture among Pakistani immigrants. Insulting someone online earns hard prison time while sexually assaulting children is just another man’s cultural expression.

Facebook, a global powerhouse in communication, decides not to engage in censorship after openly doing so for years. That reversal of policy is good as it goes, but what about the damage they did to other people and other publications? Does sucking up to Trump absolve them from election interference in the previous cycle?

Birth rates around the world plummet as people decide continuing humanity is either too distracting from their material pleasures or they view humans as a danger to a vague, pagan view of “the environment.”

Governments change in the US, France, Germany, and Canada. It will likely change in England as well.

What do all these separate and isolated events have in common?

It is the woke mind virus, which has so confused people about the nature of sex that people believe they can change their nature by surgical intervention. They think they can “choose” to be different from the DNA and bodily organization they have been endowed with. Their hormones, brain wiring,  bone and muscular structure, and mitochondria are a “social construct” that can be changed by repeated incantations from queer study courses. This ironically comes out of our most prestigious universities.

Important agencies that are supposed to protect the public recruit people based on melanin content in their skin and sexual orientation rather than recruiting the best people they can for the job. The result is incompetent people in leadership and the politicization of law enforcement. People die as a result.

Germany has bought the woke culture on two fronts: Green fanaticism has some spiked energy costs, so they are no longer competitive.  Secondly, woke ideas about the equality of all cultures have imported vast numbers of Muslim immigrants that are incompatible with their civilization.  People get run down in the hundreds by crazed Islamists.

California citizens vote for more reservoirs, but the government is too busy being woke to build any infrastructure and instead pumps vital water into the ocean so as not to disturb an obscure tiny fish called the Delta Smelt.  Meanwhile, political leaders like mayors and fire chiefs are chosen because of their skin color and sex organs, leaving incompetents in charge. The mayor of Los Angeles travels to Ghana (what does that have to do with public service?), and as an added gesture, they give away some of their fire equipment to Ukraine. People die, and property on a vast scale is destroyed. But gesturing to the gods of Woke is more critical.

England, once the “sweet land of liberty,” descends into political crisis as it becomes clear the government not only covered up but participated in vast crimes against women and children, extending over many years.  All this is to justify the woke idea that all cultures are equally valid, that one cannot be judgemental about others’ behavior, that everyone is guilty of colonialism and thus not worthy of protection, and that the purpose of the state is not to protect life, property, and liberty but instead to maintain a state religion called wokeness.

Facebook, once a key player in the internet and the community of ideas, admits it followed orders from the government to suppress free speech and expression. Furthermore, it engaged in massive election interference to curry favor with the government.

In almost all Western countries, and some in Asia, the more “advanced” countries have decided not to have any children. Population numbers are collapsing, exposing ornate social entitlement and state-run pensions to demographic shocks that will bankrupt the cushy life they think is threatened by having children. Children are harmful to “the environment” and are not worth the expense. Apparently, continuing existence is not worth the trouble or expense. In order to maintain social entitlements, they open their borders to hordes of people, many of whom do not support the Western notions of freedom, women’s equality, and sex among consenting adults. They compound the problem by extending them benefits before they have hardly paid anything into the system.

All of these issues and crises stem from the underlying philosophical assumptions of cultural Marxism, or what is commonly called Wokism. All outcomes should be equal, even if brains, talent, drive, ambition, focus, and sobriety are not evenly distributed.

But political change is occurring all over the world. The theoretical arguments of Wokism that came from the university have been tested in real life; they not only don’t work, but they also lead to catastrophe. Many voters feel that Progressive governments don’t care about them because they clearly don’t. The Blowback will be significant.

Ideas have consequences, and bad ideas have bad consequences. And, bad consequences lead to lousy election results for Progressives.

Even Fareed Zakaria at CNN can see. Give his rant, a listen.
