I have this half baked notion in my head that the left-right delineation exists because of how personalities cluster. Leftists are usually empathic, idealistic collectivists whereas rightists are pragmatic and insensitive individualists. Both sides play into the hands of capital, as you say, but for different reasons. I'd find it very hard to believe the archetypal communist and the archetypal right libertarian could find any common ground because their personalities, and thus their ideologies, are so diametrically opposed.

Good video especially in explaining how the orthodoxy evolved over time and how techonology feeds into it but I think you get better perspective on wokeness from dissident leftists since they've been in that social circle and are familiar with the people within.

Angela Nagle's appearance on Good Ol Boyz was really insightful, she frames wokeness as overproduced elites asserting their class interests by cancelling people so they can take their places within institutions. It's the 4th one down on this page (dated 2 Jul 2021):

The far right has been reemerging in the West, which it does from time to time, as both a symptom of the decay of capitalism and also an accelerant of that decay. The protectionist turn recently for example is an attempt to throttle trade because the forces which global trade unleashed have run out of control. Also they want to overcome inner contradictions within the bourgeoisie by unifying them and the rest of society under a charismatic leader and so forth.

It's like Fantasia to use a metaphor. Mickey Mouse summons brooms to do work -- very useful --- but then the brooms multiply out of control, the contradictions run wild, until there are Too Many Fucking Brooms and they become very animated (and do all kinds of things which reactionaries don't like), so he summons the sorcerer (fascism) to turn the brooms back into unanimated, plain wood. Such contradictions today include the class orientation of economic liberalism and the inclusiveness of, or at least espoused by, political liberalism.

Well I thought it'd be appropriate since Keith Woods is a China appreciator.

But the way I look at it, Western capitalist societies and particularly the U.S., the U.K. and some other places, are very unequal with a lot of concentrated wealth and power in a tiny number of hands. That has a deeply corrosive effect on society. At the same time, the political ideology of liberalism's legitimacy is based on its professed inclusiveness. That's a contradiction. So I think the results we're seeing is, on the one hand, a desperate attempt by some people who support the existing state of things to shore up liberalism by some very desperate faux-inclusiveness. On the other hand, there are others who have decided that the inclusiveness was never worth pursuing in the first place.

He is 100% correct that this was all caused by the universal presence of smart phones and the Internet but I'm surprised he can't figure out why Tumblr especially contributed to it. Tumblr was the most democratic website on the Internet; you could post videos, images, gifs, blog posts, pornography, etc. It wasn't limited and it was easy to remain anonymous. Since democracy and liberalization inherently produces degeneracy, Tumblr is where a lot of the initial ressentiment caused by the Internet began and it quickly spread everywhere else. Of course, these liberal values were already ingrained in America to begin with and mandated by our ruling classes. Everything that has been said about race, gender and sexuality already comes from the 60s. But the Internet democratized it beyond just college campuses and activist circles, and the liberal system embraced it very quickly. By 2015 gay marriage was legalized and it was all downhill from there.

The point about newspaper paywalls was good, I haven't thought of that before. But he glosses over the core of the issue, you can't just say wokeness is popular because of X and Y, there's something latent in our society that makes wokeness possible, that was lying dormant for a really long time waiting for something like wokeness to come along and bring it to life. We can push this on the elites for thrusting it upon us, but there's a reason it's so effective and it's not just because we see it a lot. Something that lies unseen in the hearts of the average Westerner, waiting to be re-examined.

People have pushed back massively against every step of the woke ratchet. Maybe 15% of people obsequiously obey and cheer for more; the rest are just beaten down.

Christian morality is not woke at all even if you read it as uber pacifism, which is not really orthodox. Woke are not pacifist or universally forgiving at all. There is another abrahamic religion that woke ideology actually does resemble: the righteous oppressed minority who hates the majority. I'm sure you can figure that out.

You can't. I know that's not a good answer but it's the truth. Liberalism is the overarching philosophy of the modern world. If you want to stop woke shit, you have to get rid of Liberalism. That's not easy to do. There's also the fact that technological development inherently produces social liberalization; in illiberal countries like China and the UAE, they face a lot of the same issues with their populations becoming extremely individualistic and hedonistic. That's why recently you have China cracking down on K-pop, feminine men, and stuff like that.

I see all this as just the natural development of the values that created the modern world. They are inherently contradictory and false from the start. We will just have to live through the implosions of our systems since no one is willing to create anything new or reject the basic ideals of freedom -- not liberals, not socialists, no one. I have my own culture, religion and community which allows me to avoid most of this nihilism. But for everyone else, I have no idea.

Yeah it definitely is. Theres no real consistent metric for right and left. People will try to frame it as capitalism vs socialism, individualism vs collectivsm, or authoritarian vs libertarian. In American discourse at least if you take a position any more complicated than le big government vs small government people get extremely confused and dont know what you are. Hence why you have people like Dinesh D'Souza trying to reframe history by calling individuals like Hitler left wing. I remember back in 2015 one conservative radio show host, Mark Levin, called Trump a national populist and said his stances weren't consistent with free market, conservative values and is therefore left wing. Mainly because Trump was a protectionist, which is lefty economics apparently.
Because it's one dimensional it can only measure one trait at a time. If you deviate from Party orthodoxy and take a nuanced approach you enter this gray zone that just can't be marked down. Beyond merely topical issues or just labels of convenience relative to your culture the right/left paradigm is basically useless

What do you mean by "capitalism is fine".
If you allow it, it''ll deconstruct everything that has hitherto given life meaning, value, and form, and reconstruct all that is so as to render it amenable to objectively and rationally quantifiable commodification. Capitalism has no inherent respect for your ethnicity, you nation state, you religion, or your cultural traditions. It's all just grist for the mill. Capitalism subordinates the spiritual to the material, quality to quantity, and all of nature, history and life to the logic of the market.

How can you people not see this? Everything you attribute to "kike meddling" is consistent with the logic of techno-capital. Unless you have the smoking gun that not only lays out that there is an organized effort by the elites to subvert your "real capitalism" for their own ends but moreover gives a reasonable explanation as to why on Earth they would do this, then as far as I'm concerned, a much better explanation of the crisis of the modern world is achieved by analyzing the structures and processes which underlie manifest social reality.

There's no such thing as a simple and accurate model for any sort of sociological paradigm. You have a highly nonlinear, high-dimensional space of possible political view embedded into a low-dimensional linear space. Let's think about what you've listed
>capitalism vs socialism
>individualism vs collectivism
>authoritarian vs libertarian
To make a realistic and consistent model you have to scale these dimensions relative to one another, explore sub-dimensions, and you end up with something very messy and intractable unless you're a computer.

Although there's flaws in the political compass approach as you rightly point out, I don't think it's useless or even harmful to invoke.

A tip for any kind of Dissident Right figure like Keith Woods, who wants to use Twitter and keep it:
>never talk about transsexuals (there are people, who search for any tweet containing slurs like "tranny" or anything insulting and mass report it)
>don't talk about jews, blacks, other races in an inflammatory way
And then there is the most important thing, which sadly Keith Woods didn't do:
>you CANNOT interact with other Leftists on Twitter
>do not get into arguments with them
>it inevitably always leads to your account getting reported and banned
