The war on woke

Paul emails me somewhat erratically, as, if you are a friend of mine you’ll know I’m calling the kettle black here. His emails are hard to follow, rant riddled, full of jokes and whimsical, I like them. You may have noticed I write the same way, I don’t plan things I just start writing and often don’t edit.

Paul is a brawny thirty something aussie guy, he likes football, drinking, fishing, women and his kids. He’s covered in tatts, bearded and can’t sit still, he’s very entertaining but like many of us is annoyed at the world.

His thesis is that the world is screwed because it’s woke. If you have a dick you are a dude, if you have a pussy you’re a chick. So he generally includes references to this sort of thing, increasingly, in his emails, the latest one he signed off as “Paul who will now be identifying as a hot water Jug. “

This is apparently hilarious, his mates think it’s not only funny but ‘true as.’

I have a broad range of friends, this happens because I am a chatty person, when I meet someone I usually strike up a conversation and having a dog now this happens a lot more often. This sounds like I am about to launch into an excuse or an apology for knowing someone – it isn’t.

I know a lot of people who men like Paul detest, and to be blunt I am in categories that he derides, I’m a woman, I’m not especially straight, I’m not married, I prefer art to the footy and I drive a “girly/poofy car”.

A few days ago I was in the beer garden of a pub we go to with Paul, his wife and four other friends and Paul comes out with “The real problem with this world is it’s too fucking woke.” I’m not sure why he decided to voice this at the time, it wasn’t as if we were talking about politics – we were in fact talking about holidays.

It seems somewhere in the conversation he got bored and his mind wandered onto the world’s big problems. Big issues like the audacity of people to want to be free, to dream about equality.

Because that is actually what the war on woke is, a war on humanity, on freedom. The purpose of the war is to return us to a time where no one questions their masters and our overlords can do as they please while we remain beasts of burden in all but name.

The war on woke is in fact much worse than the war on Christmas, the war on Christians, the war on family values and all those other myths our media overlords hyperventilate over, because of one fact – it’s real.

In a time of vast poverty, crippling inflation, the rapidly expanding gulf between the haves and have nots, extreme partisan politics, the impending utter collapse of Earth’s ability to sustain life, record homelessness and so on and so on and so on… Life’s great problem is that you can’t call black people the N word, you can’t wear your vintage SS uniform to work, you can’t kick your neighbour’s dog, call a queer a fag or even grab a cute 14 year old’s arse anymore without fear of being “cancelled.”

Cancelled is the word these people use when something they love like yelling “show us your tits” to school girls draws criticism, it’s usually screamed or more often written with caps-lock on.

It’s just so hard being a white male these days all the joie de vivre has gone out of the world. That was sarcasm by the way…

And the fault of all of this is those woke bastards who gave women the vote, enabled minorities to have the semblance of equal rights bla bla bla.

See this is what I don’t get, the people who have been convicted by the media – and social media – that the worst things in the world are freedoms, really, that’s all it boils down to.

Poor little frightened white man, the must quiver so, over their keyboards remembering the good old days when hey could voice the things they voice on the toilet formally known as twitter in pubs.

When so much is wrong, so much needs fixing or we are going to die out, the thing these dudes rail against is what the conservative media tell them to rail against, hmm I wonder why? Why would rich people who pay no taxes sponsor the cry-baby men’s movement instead of lobby for a fair tax system.

Vox populi – vox dei… seriously, did you see that, that’s was in the tweet that Elon Musk wrote after the vote? That’s how Musk sees asking a platform of conspiracy nuts if they should return this – er man – to a public platform? So if you are looking for elites nefariously running the world, look no further.

You remember Alex Jones, the dude who said that the Sandy Hook shooting was a liberal lie? Uhuh, ‘the people’ want him back apparently. It’s a lot like going to an evangelical church and asking if people who believe in miracles could raise their hands.

The history of the phrase Vox populi – vox dei is interesting by the way and has been used to argue for and against us dirty masses, anyway that’s another rant all together.

I thought the future would bring sanity, equality and maybe even decency but nah, it seems to be a race to trash things while whining about not being allowed to do the thing you are doing.

It’d be great if people stopped using the word woke, whenever it comes out of someone’s mouth or more likely keyboard I think less of that person, like when people say groovy or write LOL, it’s admitting you are a sad, witless thing who really would like to suck Elon’s sausage but are afraid people will call you names.

How did this happen that everyone is raging against the machine that they are so lovingly tending?

Obey your master…
