@DamienMicou [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : @patrick_laureys #Totalitarianism requires #kitsch, and #Woke is “the modern equivalent. Taking the knee, clapping for carers, masking up & in general obeying nonsensical orders, for “the greater good“, or as is probably more common, only for the sake of appearances.” Excerpt

Context response to #AdvocacyUSBrownstoneInstituteThorsteinnSiglaugsson's review of #IRLHistorianSimonElmer's #2022_TheRoadToFascism published via #WebsiteThePulse: "Elmer claims the support of the Left for the mandates and regulations of the biosecurity state are not based on its inherent authoritarianism as many on the right believe, but rather on its 'infiltration by the neoliberal ideologies of multiculturalism, political correctness, identity politics and, most recently, the orthodoxies of woke.' Elmer rightly points out how 'no-platforming, cancel culture, misogyny ... policing of speech and opinion' are not rooted in 'politics of emancipation, class struggle or wealth distribution;' there is really nothing socialist, in the traditional sense, about those symptoms of totalitarian ideology. This seems to stand in direct opposition to the generally accepted view, at least among those on the right wing, that woke is left-wing in its essence, resulting from socialist infiltration of society in accordance with Dusche (and Gramcii's) 'long march through the institutions.' So, what is Elmer's reasoning here?" https://thepulse.one/2022/12/13/woke-is-the-handmaiden-of-totalitarianism/ (13 December 2022). And https://brownstone.org/articles/woke-is-the-handmaiden-of-totalitarianism/ (12 December 2022).

#WebsiteTheDailySceptic "Woke, Elmer says, is the modern equivalent of kitsch. Taking the knee, clapping for carers, masking up, and in general obeying nonsensical orders, for 'the greater good', or as is probably more common, only for the sake of appearances, is in its essence the same as being moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass. And this solidarity, which in the end is a fake solidarity, is also the driving force when the mob turns against those who do not comply, against the unvaccinated, against those who refuse to 'take the knee', against those who have the courage to upset and confuse the accepted narrative, for example a black man putting on a T-shirt with the slogan 'White lives matter'. For in its essence, woke, just like kitsch, is about exclusion; the most cruel are often the most sentimental of all."
