Wokal Distance Explains The Death Cult Corruption of the Academy

Wokal Distance posted a thread this past Monday on the Death Cult's corruption of the Academy. That thread on Twitter started here. Reposted below.

Ever wonder why Universities produce so much Wokeness?

The answer is 'Activist Scholars': Woke professors who have decided that the goal of a University is to ideologically indoctrinate students and spread activist propaganda.

They admit this, and I have receipts.

See, the problem is NOT merely that some professors have blind-spots that need to be corrected by having lots of other professors with different views. That issue is important, but that is not what I am talking about.

Activists Scholars are an entirely different problem.

The Scholar Activist sees their job to do activism in the classroom including using their classroom in the University to train more Woke activists.

This Paper by Kia M. Q. Hall is about activities for training Black Lives Matter activists in the classroom.

You see, the Scholar Activist does not even attempt to teach from neutral ground. They have an ideology, and use their classroom to train students to become activists on behalf of that ideology.

Here Deborah Lowry suggests a way to teach that "supports student-activists".

This isn't bias and blind-spots, this is activists deciding the classroom is a place for them to teach and train activists to agitate on behalf of Woke ideology.

But it goes further; many of these professors explicitly admit they no longer care about telling the truth.

Here, Kelly Oliver says the quiet part out loud.

She says Feminist theories do NOT have to be true or false. They have to be STRATEGIC. The truth does not matter, strategy does. This is because, she says, Feminism has to be revolutionary; and she means *REVOLUTIONARY*

Not to be outdone, Professor Joan Scott tells us that they seek a theory that will be relevant for political practice, and Sociologist Raewyn Connell seeks a theory of Gender that takes politics into account.

These professors are saying, very explicitly, that they are publishing in academic journals, and teaching in University classrooms, a set academic theories which exist ENTIRELY for the purpose of doing woke activist politics.

This isn't bias, it's indoctrination.

You see the fruit of this sort of activist training in the situation that occurred at Evergreen State college when student activists took over the Campus.

Here, students tell the faculty of the college they just took over they learned their activism FROM THAT SAME FACULTY.

The faculty of Evergreen turned their students into activists, who turned around and used their activist training to take over the college and demand the already Woke college become even more Woke.

Woke professors caught in a feedback loop of wokeness of their own creation.

I hope thus far you have seen that there is a good sized segment of the University that has decided that rather then pursue truth and seek to be a neutral in the classroom as possible, they are going to pursue politics, and use the classroom to indoctrinate the students.

So how did they manage to do that?

To understand that you need to understand what Tenure.

Tenure means that a professor can be terminated only for cause under extraordinary circumstances. It is almost impossible to fired once as a professor if you have Tenure.

Woke academics who have gotten tenure, use their positions to help as many other Woke people get tenure as possible.

Here, Henry Giroux explains how he helped **100** people get Tenure, and how he sees doing so as being an important "political intervention."

This means a couple of things. The first is that these professors can publish Woke papers in academic journals, which makes their ideology look legitimate. This is like laundering money, except in this case the thing being laundered is activist ideology. The second is that a professor with Tenure is nearly impossible to fire. Even if they get caught teaching activist ideology they can't be fired, and that means they are free to propagandize and indoctrinate without fear of being fired.

Are we beginning to see what's happening here?

The Woke are taking over Universities by helping each other get Tenure, so they can keep indoctrinating students in the classrooms while publishing their Woke ideology in journals so it gets treated like real science, scholarship, and knowledge. (Ed: Refer back to last week's post; this is using Enlightenment Liberal Epistomology against itself.)

What gets left out by the Woke is the truth, because the Woke are not interested in trying to find out and teach about how the world really is. Here, Kelly Oliver talks about how to divorce science from nature, so that Feminists can take over science with Feminist ideology.

They are telling us what they are doing, and they are being clear about it. They mean what they say, and they say what they mean. We need to take these people at face value and start believing us when they tell us who they are and what they are doing.

There are no easy answers here but we can start by showing people what is going on and sharing this information widely. Then we can start figuring out a strategy to counter Wokeness in the University. Let's get to work.

(Editing and emphasis by me.)

You start by calling what it is: Heresy, Treason, and Sedition.

You continue by calling them what they are: heretics, traitors, and Satanists who cover for pedophiles and worse with their ideology.

There is no value in continuing to pretend that this is a civil matter. This is infiltration and subversion by hostile aliens and foreigners in league with treasonous nationals all of whom are in thrall to a hostile enemy power. That's not grounds for debate and argument. That's grounds for summary execution upon detection.

If the God-Emperor were not in charge, I'd be in favor of wholesale doxing and disapparance of our enemies. Yes, they're already doing the former to us; the latter is being openly warmed up to, or have you not noticed all of the BLM/Antifa mobs sorting as far out as to small towns close to the big cities specifically to menace targets residing there? The firebomings and home invasions are on the table, folks.

The Death Cultists are screaming this at you, and so many of you willfully refuse to accept it.

The reason I'm not calling for preemptive strikes is due to the God-Emperor's efforts to neuter BLM/Antifa. While casualties and fatalities happen on our side, nonetheless that is happening and the Feds--increasingly, this means local or state agencies deputized by a loyal Federal agency and thus delivering targets to Federal custody--and the upcoming Trumpslide will allow the God-Emperor to release what holds he's keeping in place. (e.g. the Insurrection Act)

Remember that the entire United States remains under Emergency declarations, and that the Stafford Act is in effect. Military personnel can be employed in a law enforcement capacity under the Stafford Act. Remember his method of operation: to keep things completely concealed until it's too late to stop it. In short, the most severe of Operational Security is maintained until the results are at hand. You won't hear or see shit until it's over. The recent peace deal is the evidence you require to see that this is how it is.

Because you will neither see nor hear anything, you had better not expect to see or hear it in the press or on social media. Trump works invisibly; the best thing we can do is to stay out of the line of fire and highlight targets for him to send Feds at.

For now, that is.

Empire is falling.

Wokal Distance Explains Muh Huwhyte Privledges

Wokal Distance put this out on Friday the 25th. I'm summarizing the thread here below.

The idea of "White Privilege" is everywhere...and it's NOT what you think. So, let's talk about it.

The idea of white privilege has spread through society like wild fire since about 2013. A lot of people think that the basic concept of white privilege is "white people face less racism then black people." This is NOT what the term means.

The woke play a game with "white privilege" where they alternate between two positions: an extreme position they really believe and talk about openly when they won't be attacked, and a far more modest position they fall back on and defend when anyone questions them.

This tactic is called a Motte and Bailey fallacy. It is named after a castle that has a motte (a small but easily defended fortress you can hide in when attacked), and a bailey (a large valley with lots of resources and treasure where all the fun takes place)

In the case of white privilege, the motte is the idea that Black people face racism white people don't face, and the bailey is the idea that all white are racist and perpetuate an unjust system of racial hierarchy without knowing it:

It's easy to see how this idea gains traction and how useful it is to the woke. They take a simple idea which seems right, and when everyone accepts that idea, they switch to an extreme position while using the same name.

So, Lets take a look at the 'bailey' of white privilege, and show you what is actually going on.

First, you need to know that the woke carve up society according to the doctrines of "dominance" and "oppression." You could think if those as the yin and yang of wokeness.

Dominance is when a group uses power to get to the top of the social pyramid, and then use that position to gain even more power to maintain their position at the top of the hierarchy. "Dominance" in woke-speak is always about taking, wielding and hoarding of social power.

The social power that the dominant group has taken is then used by the dominant group rig society in their favor and oppress other groups in society. In other words, the powerful impose their ideas and interests on everyone. They do this by making sure that everything in society is built so that in every situation the dominant group gets the maximum benefit at the expense of everyone else. This is done by making sure everything that exists in society is constructed so the ideology of the dominant group is embedded in literally everything.

This means the woke think the way we think about and discuss art, law, science, math, sports, religion, architecture, and anything else in society you can think of, have had the ideology of the dominant group embedded in them. The result is that the "discourses" in society or the way in which we talk about things and communicate, all take for granted and assume the ideology of the dominant group, and therefore preach, teach, and perpetuate the ideology of the dominant group even when the people discussing the ideas don't know it.

The woke think the dominant group subtly control how everyone talks, thinks, and communicate. This "socializes" people into behaviors and ideas that benefit the dominant group. In other words, people are trained to think and act in way that benefit the people at the top.

The woke think the dominant group (which the woke think is white males) use their control of how society communicates and thinks to tie the hands of other groups, and the result is anyone who isn't a white male is *oppressed* by the systems of power created by white men.

Oppression is only experienced by non-dominant groups in society, not white men. White men may experience hardship or difficulty, but not oppression. Because oppression is to be disadvantaged by the systemic power of white men BECAUSE ONE IS NOT A WHITE MALE.

Read that again.

According to wokeness, white men are never held down by society FOR BEING WHITE MEN. They might face prejudice, but that prejudice is never SYSTEMIC. That is, white men can only ever be victims of isolated instances of discrimination, never victims of oppression because even when a white man is discriminated against by, for example, a woman of color, he is still discriminated against in the context of an entire society built for his benefit. So even when a white man faces prejudice, in the larger context he still has the upper hand.

A good example of how the woke view privilege and oppression is a video game where white men play the game on easy mode, women play it on medium difficulty, and black disabled trans people play the game on the hardest difficulty there is. This is how they view the world.

The woke think 'white privilege' is the societal equivalent of white people are playing the game on an easier level then Black people, indigenous people, and brown people.

THAT is what the woke mean when they talk about 'white privilege.'

I want you to notice how much intellectual machinery I had to first unpack just so I could then do a proper job of explaining 'white privilege.' The reason I had to do that is that wokeness isn't just a set of ideas, it's a complete *worldview* that functions as a religion.

White privilege, which we now can see is that being white grants one and unquestioned and unearned set of advantages, entitlements, benefits, and freedoms solely because they are white. In other words, white people are playing the game on easy mode. This means that the woke think every situation a white person is in, no matter how difficult, hard, or painful, would be even more difficult, hard, and painful for Black, Indigenous, or Brown people. It doesn't even matter what the situation is, the woke think it's easier for white people.

So, the next time a woke person begins to push on you the idea that you have "white privilege" your goal should be to show people the *worldview* behind wokeness. Don't let them get away with saying "white privilege is just that white people don't face the racism others do."

Force them to defend their entire worldview so that people can have the opportunity to see the postmodern intellectual yeast the woke use to bake their worldview.

Don't let them play their Motte and Bailey game: force them to be clear about EXACTLY what they are arguing.

Neon Revolt's #FreedomLetters Proposal

Neon Revolt began a podcast a while back. Episode 4 dropped this past week. You want to listen; this is about the upcoming U.S. Election.

At 41:45 Neon Revolt begins his explanation for a practical, actionable proposal to intervene on the God-Emperor's side: Freedom Letters.

It's this simple: On the day after Election Day, and for the next 30 days thereafter, put 3-5 letters into the mail. Postcards, SASEs, whatever- just has to be something you can put into an envelope and mail with a standard mail stamp. What you mail is irrelevant. Whom you mail it to is irrelevant. What matters is that you put those letters into the system every day for that duration, and that a critical mass of residents do so.

With that sudden explosion of mail volume, the mail-in ballots are going to be delayed good and hard well. It will buy Trump the time required to ensure that his win--and he will win--isn't stolen. Yes, even if Thralls of Empire in the Post Office sort and stack the ballots and so on; they still have to put them on the same trucks, planes, and so on that everything else does so volume matters because it sucks up time.

Overseas people can play along as well, though you are paying International postage rates. Just go get your stamps, envelopes, addresses, sorted now if you want to play.

Send any objections to Neon Revolt, not to me. It's his idea.

Spread the word about this. Get as many people hyped to play as you can.

Empire Is Falling.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

The God-Emperor Was Not Doing Nothing This Term

Taken from a Gab group I'm a member of. Reposted (and cleaned up) here.

A conservative friend was asking me what is taking so long to "get rid" of the Deep State in the USA. He says, "Trump has been in office for four years, yet none of the big criminals we know of have been taken down. Is he compromised?" Of course I said "No", but I also had to outline the bigger picture for him, but its good for the normies too.

  1. Before any of these big name prosecutions could begin, Trump (as President of the United States) had to reform the justice system and get rid of as many activist judges (many of them being Obama appointees) as possible. This also includes the Supreme Court of the United States. Over 200 federal judges have now been replaced with patriotic constitutional people who will uphold the law. This number blows away any other previous president's effort.
  2. POTUS had to create and sign multiple Executive Orders which would put teeth in any prosecution of DeS operatives; especially those who are controlled by foreign enemies. From asset confiscation, to national emergency declarations, to enhancing Military Tribunals, these are all needed to get the job done.
  3. Multiple detention centers had to be expanded and/or updated (i.e. Guantanamo Bay, FEMA centers, etc) to handle the expected influx of treasonous criminals coming into the Federal or Military court systems.
  4. POTUS had to expand, rebuild, and reorganize the United States military to be able to deal with the constant threats of war and social unrest. This also includes efforts to combat human--especially child--trafficking, and removing compromised leadership.
  5. POTUS had to win his effort to build the Wall at all costs. He was forced to transfer funds from one department to another in order to get it done. Over 300 miles of new wall have been erected in 2 years, with ZERO support from Democrats.
  6. POTUS/MIL has started a systematic approach to disarming the Democratic National Committee/DS thugs. The first big thing was the dismantling of MS-13 organized units trained to assassinate targets (i.e. Seth Rich, etc.). Second was to infiltrate Antifa and map out the command and control structure before the Shit Hits The Fan.
  7. POTUS had to install Justice Patriots at the highest levels of government (i.e. United States Attorney General, several US Attorneys, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Communications Commission, etc.). This ensures that when the hammer drops, there is no way out for these criminals. He had to game the system with 'acting' Attorneys General or other department heads to further clean house while the real successor was vetted and confirmed.
  8. Because this cancer is a world-wide problem, POTUS had to travel around the world cutting the CIA's strings in many foreign governments. North Korea was one of them. Saudi Arabia was another. I am sure this is still ongoing, but a majority of the major countries have signed on to the fight.
  9. Lastly, POTUS/MIL has to 'red-pill' as many citizens as possible without causing massive civil unrest. If any of you think what is going on in various Dem cities in the US is a major problem, it would pale against what would happen if citizens were never shown what the true intent of the DNC/Communists is.

So, yes, there is a lot happening which is paving the way for a new world.

Remember those points. Spread them around.

Oh, and just this past week he deputized the Oregon State Police to assist the US Marshalls in Portland, and I think a similar arrangement will be in the works for other local agencies assisting the Feds in the weeks to come. He also banned Critical Race Theory from the Federal government, provoking predictable reactions from the heretics serving Empire. Also expect more things like this to come. The recent rescues of child trafficking victims is one such operation. There will be more, and there have been others you didn't pay much attention to due to his enemies' control over most of the mass media.

Just because it wasn't on the news doesn't mean nothing got done. Learn Trump's methodology: keep everything under wraps until it's too late to stop it, then reveal when ready for maximum impact.

And yes, that includes many in dissident media. Empire is falling.

This "War" Talk Is Not Serious

Most of the time I try, at worst, to be jovially edgy when I post here. Not today. Today this is a very angry rant and it won't be short. No offense offered to Mike here; he's just the guy who said the quiet part loud the other day.

This barely counts as a war, and only because one side's LARPing about it while the other side's been in fucking denial or complicity for decades on end. No one is serious about this.

"What? People are dead. Property's been destroyed."


YOU RETARDED MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE NO GODDAMN IDEA WHAT A FUCKING WAR LOOKS LIKE!

If the Commie faggot LARPers were goddamn serious about waging war against their enemies, this country would not be able to function AT ALL. Every last thing that your 2nd Amendement sorts routinely point out on forums and chatrooms and the counters of gun stores across the United States are also known to Tankie leadership cadres. It is well known that the United States could be broken by disrupting just a handful of key Interstates, crippling a few key bridges, and taking down a score or so of power stations; due to Just In Time delivery systems for fucking everything all it would take would be to shut down the trucking industry--which the aforementioned would do--for just ONE FUCKING WEEK.

That's just for starters.

Remember my spicy post on the main blog from this past week? The one where I ranted about what guns are, how they actually work, and how people ought to be using them properly? If either side was actually serious about waging a fucking war for the United States it would make the civil warfare going on in Mexico look like fucking Amateur Night.

Imagine not being able to walk the streets or roll down the main drag in a contested area because a firefight between Antifa and Patriot militia could break out at any time. Partisan warfare gets that ugly, and it gets that ugly very fast, especially once one side starts taking out the local government agencies' personnel- and yes, that's a thing, and it will happen. Don't expect the Feds to be much help; they're still outnumbered, and they can't be everywhere at once, so you're now dealing with partisan/guerrilla/irregular warfare between two competing groups of irregulars and there's sweet fuck-all for Rule of Law going on.

And no, once any such "war" jumps off, you can kiss all those rules, regulations, laws, etc. goodbye. Those ARs will become select-fire as soon as they can get and drop in those full-auto sears. Those AKs will also. That BAR the C&R collector has? If he doesn't know how to restore proper (select-fire) functionality, he knows someone that does, and there's going to be someone ready and able to not only reload the ammo but also the belts.

In short, that peacetime law-abiding militia with codex-compliant loadouts can and will transition to a World Is A Fuck pragmatist bushwackers also Rambo if it survives the first month or so. If you want proof, go look south to Mexico as well as other Central and South American examples of war breaking out. In Europe, I remind you of the 90s wars in Eastern Europe as the Warsaw Pact broke up. (That's what This War Of Mine is about.) All the drones and other high-tech wonderweapons ain't going to mean shit once the grid loses its integrity, so that's a non-issue after the first month or so.

(No, Wictor, your strategic commandos won't be cleaning this up. They're going to take a side and struggle with overcoming the goat-fucking of their logistics train before they can actually do shit. I should not need to tell you this.)

And when it's over? "I just want to grill" will be the mantra of men with thousand-yard stares, and that's from the side that wins.

The losers will be exterminated down to the last man, woman, and child.

That is what a war in this country means now. No one is pushing for it, for now, but once either side hits a critical mass of amygdala stimulation it'll be no different than an avalanche touching off: it will be too late to stop it.

That's why it's all been Frame Game faggotry up to this point. It's LARPers doing dominance displays to flex on their enemies because they don't have the balls or the means to properly eliminate their enemies, and that's all about the optics. Once this touches off, optics cease to matter. It's Total War, war to the knife, knife to the hilt, 24/7 until you win or you're dead.

"But the cops will-"

GET SHOT!

"But the media will-"

GET SHOT!

"But the government will-"

HA HA MACHINEGUN GO "BRRT!"

It's the African genocides, the Balkan wars, and more of the 1990s--the fucking 1990s--all over again. Ain't no one that's see that shit, or anything like it, ready to handle that shit. NO ONE is.

Yeah, I've seen some shit. Didn't even have to leave the fucking schoolyard for it either.

And if you aren't terrified of that prospect, you aren't tall enough for this ride.

So fuck off with this "war" talk. None of you motherfuckers are the least bit serious. We'd have mass death events making Waco and 9/11 look pussy weak on the regular if we were.

You know how I know?

Real fuckers just do it. No displays. No theater. No bullshit. They just get shit done.

If Antifa were serious about killing Rand Paul, they would have swarmed in from the sides as soon as he and his escort cleared the gates. They would have had two elements. One comes in to cut off retreat back behind the gates. The rest move in, seize the escorts first and tear them away, then mob Rand and kill him on the spot. No slogans. No cries. No puffing themselves up or trying to incite him or his escorts. They just attack and eliminate. Once the kills are confirmed, they take their photos/video, and they leave.

Same with all the fuckers running around the residences. They aren't serious. They're flexing for the Frame Game. If they were serious, they would just roll up quietly and start firebombing their target. An element would go around to cut off flight from the backdoor. Then this happens.

And that's the sloppy way. The hardcore way is to surround the house, breach it with explosives or ramming a car through a wall, then rush in and BRRT everyone inside. Over and done within a minute. Take photos or video and go.

Seen those Knockout Game videos? That's as close to serious as you get right now. If they were serious, those would happen scores of time a day and they would run up to gun or knife targets dead before scattering.

See what I'm getting at? That's why I find the Commies to be LARPing faggots, and what went down at Kenosha shows it- especially by the reactions from the Commies. Once they can't rely on the Frame Game to win, they're going to have to go hard or go home.

War is not a Frame Game. If they want to learn the hard way, it won't be just them that suffers for it.

I pray that this doesn't happen, but it can and damned be the fools that made it so.

Narrative Warfare: The Mask Is More Than Just Camouflage

The cultural cancer has elements--components--and it is good consider each of them. First, the structural element that Empire's thralls (SJWs) exploit.

Those SJWs didn't invent the structure that they seize control of. That was another's creation, and that creation came about because of the Mammon Mob. The psychology described in the Retroblasting video have signature signs of cult psychology, chief of which being the obsession with their own superiority cognitively dissonating with their stated pursuit of maximizing corporate profit, and then the institutionalizing of the means by which they simultaneously defend their self-perception from harm due to their own failures when they shift the responsibility and accountability for their actions to others.

Yes, I am making this plain: Corporate Life is a goddamn CULT.

And it is a front, as Pop Culture is a Cult front, for Empire and its thralls that run the SJW Death Cult. Because the Mammon Mob is a degenerate rejection of Christianity given a secular cover with apologetics taking the form of economic-based philosophy, it had no defense against actual Satanic actors; when the time came--as it has recently--the Death Cult would move in without difficulty to take direct control of their fronts to push their Narrative Warfare and directly assault Christendom and Civilization.

Here we are.

What some astutely describe as "The Bugman Life" is the demoralization end of Empire's destruction. The turning of men into zombies, converting people into Cybermen or Borg drones, and similar body-horror degenerations of Man into Monster is the allegorical transmission of the truth behind how Empire operates. The Corporate Drone is this very demoralized figure. Stripping away Christianity from both public and private life is what made this possible.

Strip away the protection against evil, and you have a vessel ready to be filled with it. That is what the Mammon Mob has done, and now the Death Cult fills the vessels.

This transition explains the "Get Woke" part. The "Go Broke" part, while reliable at present, should not be presumed to always follow. This is not a group of morons. This is a cult that has moved into its fronts across the West. You see them in government at all levels. You see them in Academia. You see them in the media. You see them in the Banking sector.

It is that last element that will prove to be the backstop. Some fronts will be allowed to collapse, but the collapse means further centralization into organizations--corporate and government--that they control. Centralization of power is required, but that centralization is diffused in its operation because it doesn't follow Western conceptions of organization. It follows Eastern--specifically, Chinese--conceptions; the Han concepts of "Mianzi" and "Guanxi" that are the key components of Eastern Face cultures are how the Death Cult runs its operations in the West (and why the cohort running it are in conflict with the Han elites at this time for control, since they are also a Face culture).

We think of this as networking. It's more than that. It's the actual control system for the Death Cult.

The Supreme Dark Lord, Vox Day, has commented on the School-of-Fish nature of how the Death Cult works. Communism formalizes this, but it works best informally as Face cultures do. There is a shot-caller; they are in the best position to administer Face. They send the signals. Those signals transmit down the hierarchy--and there is one--of the Death Cult that those wishing to gain Face must echo in word and deed those signals or suffer the consequences. This system also shows who is able to do what favors, through which Face is able to be garnered (or lost). Failure to keep up with the signalling results in loss of Face and others cease to do favors for you, or approach you for what you can still do, until you humiliate yourself to restore your Face (if that is allowed).

Does this make sense now?

You had, in the Corporate West, a ready-made structure and paradigm to establish and maintain a non-governmental paradigm of power based on Eastern instead of Christian principles. This has since become the norm in all Western institutions, public and private. The Death Cult, which also runs on those Eastern principles, easily moved in and took over because it is not that different; it's a conflict more like having Koreans take over a Japanese corporation. Just different enough to cause significant issues, but not different enough to be truly epistemic, since both cults serve the same master ultimately.

The result is how Empire actually operates. There is an illusory system meant for the masses that Empire preys upon to sustain itself. It is allowed to function just often enough to maintain that illusion, but it is still the illusion. The actual system runs invisibly in the background, uses entirely different principles to function, and maintains control over all the actual levers of power.

Man alone cannot defeat this. Only through God can this be done.

It has to remain concealed even when it has absolute hegemony because being too open has always resulted in the destruction of its current form. Sometimes this is very direct, as was the case with the Tower of Babel. Often an otherwise unlikely man is chosen to be the tool by which God shatters that abomination, as we're seeing today with Trump, and I am increasingly confident that this insight into how the enemy actually operates stems from the need to hide from God to operate at all- hence the corruption of Man's cultures to emphasize Perception and Pose over what is True and Real.

Empire is falling.
