Wokeness

doesn't mention the black roots of the term 'Woke'

doesn't discuss how all of the academia behind the current ideology was created by black radical feminists like the Combahee River Collective (that had more to do with the Free Love movement than Marxism) and bell hooks (who based her writing on personal experiences and Sub-culture of Violence Theory) before it was co-opted, alongside Intersectionality Theory, by white radfems

doesn't discuss how the current antipathy for white men by white women mirrors the same antipathy that has been present in the African American community since the 1870s, and Dr Clark in the book 'Dark Ghetto' predicted that this same model of antipathy would spread from poor blacks to the rest of the country in the fucking 1940s

3/10. This is ideologically driven, not factually driven. The video maker has a shitton of reading they need to do before they can have a reasonable discussion.

Jesus christ what a fucking shit show.

Man spends over five minutes redefining words that already have accepted definitions before meandering around to his supposed point.

You cannot talk about Marxism without talking about CAPITALISM. Six minutes of this diatripe before he reveals the dog and pony show in that he's redefined liberalism as capitalism.

Horse shit.

"Cultural Marxism" is absolutely a right-wing conspiracy dog whistle and this smarmy asshole is nothing more than the latest talking head take of trying to explain concepts to people who choose to value opinion over reading source material.

Notice every time this douche nozzle frames Marxism as being against "freedom" rather than Capitalism. This two bit car salesman really thinks no one is paying attention when he jump cuts and inserts his own interpretations on book passages.

Critical Theory has its place in the root of current social justice, but that is not the same thing as Marxism. Conflating the two, as this yammering fool has, is capitalist propaganda. Endorsing something does not make it equal to that thing, it's not a transitive property.

Attributing the second-wave Feminism embrace of misandry and vilifying men as an oppressor dynamic is not "Marxism" any more than going to a religious building on a given day of the week is "Christianity". He neither invented the concept of oppression, nor was he even alive at the time right-wing shitheads conflate him with far-left scholars decades later.

Over and over again this fucking fool misnomers Marxism as an entity opposed to freedom. His example at 13:00 is the same regurgitated talking point from capitalist dogmatics that they've been shoveling around for years. Marxism is not a "if two bodies exist, one is oppressing the other". It's the dumbest, most capitalist shill interpretation of his works that you can get.

The smarmy asshole continues to mug the camera as if he genuinely believes his own bullshit. At 13:30 he effectively describes democracy and frames it as if it's a bad thing. There was no logical or just reason for the continued discrimination against black people after the abolishment of slavery, but democracy took place and civil rights movements happened. Is this twerp honestly suggesting that's a bad thing?

Step 3 in his video is another bullshit sleight of hand. "oh yeah, they don't mention Marx anymore. I dunno why, but here's my made up excuse that it was a PR move and hey switching gears to my next series of lies and misinformation". Again, Marx did not invent the idea of oppression and oppressor. His critiques of Capitalism specifically illustrate clear injustices in the system of capitalists versus workers.

Don't take the bait my dudes. Capitalism is trying to steal every last cent from you while simultaneously shitting in your drinking supply. Don't let a long dead champion of worker's rights become some intersectional boogeyman buzzword because you don't like reading stuffy critiques of economics written in the 1800s.

I sat through this entire fucking shit show and this fuckwit didn't even try to define wokeness. Instead he tries to frame it as woke people versus 'small business owner'. Bitch please.

This garbage fire of a video is nothing more than a distraction from our real enemies, real priorities, and real solutions.

Great video, thanks. Explains the origins of intersectionality and why we use the term liberal incorrectly.

In appearance, this dude is the spiritual successor to Fidlebogen
