Woke Ideology Mimics Precursors to Totalitarian Slaughter, Experts Say

Some of the core tenets of the โ€œwokeโ€ ideology spreading around the country mimic ideas used to justify many of the most horrendous atrocities of the past century, according to several experts.

A recently released documentary exploring the topic, called โ€œBetter Left Unsaid,โ€ concludes that the self-identified โ€œradical leftโ€ endorses four fundamental โ€œtruthsโ€ that they โ€œhold to be self-evident,โ€ noting that these tenets have also been used to justify and incite many of the worst massacres of the 20th century.

The first of the four claims is that โ€œthe world is best viewed through a group oppression narrative lens.โ€

The โ€œwokeโ€ ideology is based on a set of quasi-Marxist theories that divide society into โ€œoppressorsโ€ and the โ€œoppressedโ€ based on characteristics such as race, sex, class, or sexual proclivities. โ€œWokeโ€ is sometimes used interchangeably with Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is one of the more prominent ideologies that operate within this framework.

The second claim is that โ€œevidence of oppression is the inequality between groups,โ€ the documentary says. If the designated โ€œoppressedโ€ group does on average worse in some regard than the designated โ€œoppressorโ€ group, that is taken as virtually unassailable proof of โ€œoppression.โ€

The third claim is that โ€œpeaceful dialog and understanding between the groups is impossible since the dominant groupโ€™s strategy is to retain its power.โ€

Woke theorists have posited that the โ€œoppressedโ€ have aย uniquely valuable perspectiveย on reality unavailable to the โ€œoppressors.โ€ Meanwhile, they say, โ€œwhitenessโ€ or โ€œwhite heteropatriarchyโ€ canโ€™t help but to try to maintain its โ€œhegemony.โ€ Even if it does things that benefit members of other groups, such as by abolishing slavery or giving women and blacks the right to vote, itโ€™s still done out of self-interest and in order to further entrench its institutions and norms and thus ensure the โ€œprivilegeโ€ of its members.

Proponents of the ideology engage in dialogue between themselves, but with everybody else the communication is supposed to generally flow in one directionโ€”that of acceptance of their views. Any challenge to the ideology is labeled as self-serving or even as an assault on the โ€œoppressed.โ€

Finally, the ideology at least implicitly acknowledges that โ€œbecause of the above, violence is justified to eradicate the inequities,โ€ the documentary says.
