MODERN DIVIDE AND RULE STRATEGIES

AN IDEOLOGY WHICH HURTS THOSE IT’S SUPPOSED TO HELP.

While there are advantages to woke, it has increased both crime rates and incarceration rates. It has resulted in more laws and enforcement of laws – which benefits the ruling class.

There are many who exploit wokeism to selfish or nefarious ends. Jussie Smollett being a well known example. Many a cop, who has caught a perp red-handed, has been called a racist. Cops are often called racists just for doing their jobs. It’s a fantastic means of manipulation. It’s not surprising that it is often implied that Islam is a race. One evening, when I was a teenager, a 40yo man got me drunk and then asked me for sex. When I refused, he implied I was racist and homophobic. Then there is the claim of ‘systemic racism’ which blames the racial majority for under achievements, under productivity and crime rates of certain minority groups. However, the rates of such things are consistent with the rates of such things in countries where those minorities are the majority. It is not just common criminals who exploit wokeism. There are ‘blame claims’ which are simply absurd. Mainstream media will lead you to believe that the only threat to the environment is greenhouse gasses. Not overhunting, overfishing deforestation, other habitat destruction and population growth. Can it be that this is because the latter five occur mainly in the third world, while the first can be blamed mainly on a certain race? Is the environmental debate being racialized? It appears that it is. In the 1990s, tree hugging and other attempts to save forests, were becoming popular. Some big businesses were not happy with this. Those who wish to vilify environmentalists accuse them of keeping the poor poor. Of stopping the development of the third world. However, the overwhelming majority (if not all) of the third world countries where deforestation, habitat destruction and development were allowed to proceed, are still third world countries. So the poor are still poor. So that wokeist argument is a scam. And the woke clearly play a role in damaging the biosphere which sustains us. It is interesting to note that while it is trendy to publicize any hypocrisy among environmentalists, hypocrisy among Wokeists, of which there is a lot, gets very little publicity.

It is interesting to note that Hitler blamed the shortcomings and embarrassments, of one race of people, on another race of people, he repressed free speech, he used propaganda to deceive the masses and bullied those who spoke out against him. All of these are also done by wokeists. And woke views are spread by propaganda and media manipulation, just like Hitler’s views were

Some say wokeism is merely an awareness of black suffering which creates sympathy and hence improvement. And yes, there have been improvements since the 60s, when wokeism became popular. There has been affirmative action, sympathetic media coverage, more public spending, less policing in the ghettos and other improvements, in the USA and other places. There are now more black politicians and other elected officials and there are now more popular black actors. One sees a lot of blacks in television advertisements too. But what is the overall effect for the average, common black man in the USA? There have been some negative side effects, especially with regards to the sympathetic media coverage. Like the story of the blind men and the elephant, the sympathetic media coverage often gives a one-sided, misleading picture. Some have referred to it as ‘race hate propaganda’. Furthermore if you tell a guy that he will never make it because of an invisible wall of ‘systemic racism’ you might discourage him from striving for achievement and make crime more attractive for him. Since the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the average wage gap between blacks and whites has been about the same and unemployment among blacks hasn’t changed and is still about double that of whites. So the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve this. Furthermore there has been a significant change in the black incarceration rate, which is about double what it was in 1960. Furthermore, as wokism encourages crime, many black neighborhoods have become considerably more dangerous than they were in 1960. By the 1990s, the leading cause of death, among young black males, is homicide by other blacks. There was a major rise in violent crime from the mid 1960s, many new laws were passed, and there was heavier law enforcement and this was followed, not surprisingly, by an increase in the incarceration rate. So by the mid 1990s America, the land of the free, had the world’s highest incarceration rate. Teaching young men that police who stop them are racist oppressors can cause them to behave in a threatening manner towards the police. This can get them shot – and it has. Furthermore, the de-funding of the police in the ’20s, particularly in the ghettos, has been followed by a significant increase in the black on black homicide rate. Portraying police as oppressors has contributed to a ‘no stitch’ etiquette. This makes it very hard for police to solve crimes in the ghettos.

So is wokism really benefiting blacks? Why is it that anyone, with a platform, is unable to be open and straightforward about it?

I have travelled, and hitchhiked, as an ageing, solo tourist, in
four predominantly black countries Uganda, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. I met a lot of cool, hospiteable people in all of those countries. However in the west, particularly in America, blacks are taught to be hostile. They are taught to do crime – and hey a lot of the end up in prison. Woke comes from American propaganda. It’s supposed to help blacks but it effectively exploits many of them, as shock troops, and then gets many of them locked up.

Some say that wokeism is a ploy to allow criminals to control police, journalists and politicians. Some say it is a form of ‘divide and rule’ as it encourages hatred and violence, which lead to fear hence a desire for protection, hence an excuse for passing more laws and building more prisons, hence more power for the ruling class. Much of it appears to be endorsed and encouraged by the ruling class – who are safe in their gated communities. In case you didn’t know, it’s not just politicians who rule but also big businesses and media men.

I’ve been to 86 countries in my life. Being woke did not make me popular with non-whites. I was woke when I was young, due to propaganda and a sheltered, rural lifestyle – and I expressed woke views. However I found I got along better after I’d been to the cities, seen the actual reality of what I’d been taught by school and media and adopted more practical views. Expressing woke views causes one to be seen as false and two-faced as the woke might claim to be anti-racist while expressing highly racist concepts like ‘historic liability’ or might be just plain naive – as I was. Some find wokeism patronizing too. I get more respect, from everyone, by expressing sensible, realistic, anti-woke views. As I do here.
