Are the Woke Left finally having their, ‘Are we the baddies’ moment???
Interesting opinion piece from Australia as the progressive movement suddenly wakes up to how alienating our woke middle class activists have been…
Trudeau, Biden and Ardern are done. What’s eating the global left?
“It’s pretty clear to me that if left or progressive parties want to win they have to stop tinkering with a system that is clearly engineered against the people they are supposed to represent”.
…I have been pointing out since the woke social media Lynch mobs of 2016 that middle class identity politics would destroy the class solidarity of the Left and drive male voters away from the Left.
When I started warning about this, ACT were .7%.
ACT are now 8%.
I take no glee in gloating at how my critiques of middle class woke dogma has destroyed the Left have all come true, because the outcome is Trump’s Orange Fascism and this hard right race baiting NZ Government.
Pure temple politics by the woke kills solidarity, Broadchurch politics wins voters.
We have allowed the middle class woke to cancel anyone with a penis as not pure enough for our movement, and you have to remember in 2016, that for many Wellington woke when they were driving the social media Lynch mobs, this was their first taste of power in their tiny little lives so having people sacked for not liking Chocolate wrappers in Māori, or having people’s homes swatted by NZ Police for comments about Trans people or having people lose their jobs for shits and giggles was fun in 2016, not so fun in 2026 as the fruits of that ‘activism’ drive voters from our movement..
The woke will refuse point blank to think their alienating activism damaged the movement, but the enormity of Trump’s win is forcing the Woke to finally have their ‘Are we the baddies’ moment, and it’s not a moment too soon.
This has to be the year of resistance.
ACT are pushing their 6 moth hate campaign against the Treaty.
Local body elections face having Māori representation stripped from them.
ACT are pushing for a ‘Free Speech’ deal that will actually rob Institutions of having free speech.
ACT are pushing for a Corporate leash around all democratic legislation.
National want to remove Jury trials.
ACT are attempting to bring back sub machine guns.
NZ First are trying to remove the Treaty from all legislation.
ACT want to rob workers of all rights.
NZ First want environmentally damaging mining.
All this while the Political Woke want to denounce you for misusing pronouns.
Trump’s landslide victory means this is the year that we must be awake without being woke.
The true demarcation of power in a liberal progressive capitalist state is between the 1% richest plus their 9% enablers vs the 90% rest of us.
Once you articulate politics in that dynamic, we can’t lose.
Middle Class Woke identitarians however believe the in the Holy Trinity of Woke Intersectionist Dogma:
1 – ALL White people are irredeemable cross burning racists.
2 – B-E-L-I-E-V-E ALL WOMEN that ALL Men are rapists.
3 – Anyone who supports Free Speech is a uniform wearing Nazi who hates the Trans Community.
Pure temple politics undermines Broadchurch solidarity and difference becomes a point of friction wrapped in an identity of victimhood.
It’s a lens of perpetual wounds screaming for social media hierarchy in a never ending Outrage Olympics that is about as electorally appealing as drinking a cup of cold sick.
The greatest danger to our society is the millisecond poor white men see themselves through this lens of identity and stop seeing themselves as citizens and start seeing themselves in the same narrative of victimhood.
Blame men long enough as the problem and they will become the problem.
If we don’t focus on the common ground between us, if our identity trumps our class solidarity, then we are brittle and alienating and have zero chance of stopping this right wing tsunami heading our way this year.
The polling break down by Roy Morgan shows that we’ve alienated an enormous chunk of male vote and driven them into the arms of National, ACT, NZF.
If we on the Left want to win the 2026 election, we must bring men back to the fold. We must tell them there is a space here on the Left for them to be.
We’ve got to wake up without going woke because Broadchurch Politics wins elections, Pure Temple Politics rules over a purity game of schisms that will never gain 51%.
2025 is the year we need to wake up without going woke.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
The woke are completely blind to themselves, that’s the problem.
Observe the people who comment all over the internet in confusion of what “woke” means or saying that the right don’t know what it really means or that only the far right use it and they’re all dumb.
It’s a good way to identify who is too deep in the cult.
They cannot renounce their dogma.
“The woke are completely blind to themselves”
How fucking woke.
If The Woke have finally pulled their heads out of their sanctimonious arses it makes little difference as the die is already cast – Marama Davidson’s ‘white male cis’ comments mark one of many points of no return.
Truly self-indulgent if she said that. I try to keep away from Greens now whom I voted for for decades.
Grey Warbler Davidson said that white cis-gender males were responsible for the violence in society. I also supported the Greens for decades, and donated to them. I dumped them when Davidson, at an Auckland vigil for the tragic Muslims murdered in Christchurch, blamed white people for that too, and I think did one of the anti-colonialism diatribes which seem to be a prerogative of te Parti Maori and the Greens and achieve zilch apart from being societally divisive, and IMO, racist. Davidson’s anti heterosexual white males rhetoric seems pretty pathological.
Trashing a whole demographic is nuts, IMO, but Bill English also did it when he wrote off a generation of our young men as useless unemployable work-shy druggies. That was untrue, and morally reprehensible when the suicide rates for 18- 24 year old males were peaking at heart-breaking levels.
Marama could expand her echo chamber by hanging out at a womans prison.
Her views about blaming males arn’t very constructive, and maybe somewhat insulated, but not uncommon.
Females involved involved in the most serious crimes, seem less inclined to take the responsibility, and want to assign blame to others, particularly any males, and even the victim if male, in my opinion.
Keepcalmcarryon. “ The woke are completely blind to themselves, that’s the problem.” 100 %. Engaging with woke public servants is head-bashing-on-brick-wall territory. But all over the world, more normal sort of persons have had a gutsful of them.
“The true demarcation of power in a liberal progressive capitalist state is between the 1% richest plus their 9% enablers vs the 90% rest of us.”
Governments in the democratic West have a lifespan of about a decade, give or take the vagaries of terms and election cycles.
Governments get voted out – “Vote the b*st*rds in!” said no-one ever
As an organic gardener, one develops a certain ruthlessness when it comes to weeds. We recycle them as compost, until there are no weeds, there is only green manure.
And the same is true of shit politicians. There are no shit politicians, there is only tiger food. Looking around parliament, it’s a feline buffet.
My theory is, that if you think you should be in parliament, you are completely wrong and shouldn’t be allowed within a mile of the place.
The present crop should resign, almost without exception. I suppose there might be a dozen of them who should actually be there, certainly fewer than 20.
Definitely plenty of scope for tigers there.
It is not an easy life and it takes balls to stand by your conviction and put yourself up for election. For most except Greens and TPM they take a pay cut to do the job.
Base, old money, new farm fence, never worked just dadies pass down, thats how im in this Parliament, yous others, we are the farm fence, and our riddicule, is our private school riddicule, of your envy, we cant say that in the hoos,as it would leave and never come back ever, with your shame lie hide, who woke, some males in the hoos serious sexual misoginist, all leaning on the woke, farm fence
First of all, what was actually “left” about Ardern? Nothing. Is it a label from being with Labour who are not left at all? Being called a socialist by groinswell doesn’t count because they are f’ing idiots?
Secondly review the “woke” policies whatever the f they are and tell me which way the current coalition members voted. It’s like National calling the wage subsidy irresponsible spend but they voted for it did they not? Worthless bullshitters to a man, woman, they them, whatever.
The big lie is that ACT gain because of the woke “identitarians”.
ACT is both neo-liberal and authoritarian, but does not give a toss about social liberal woke vs social conservative as per society. ACT does not care about society, but about subservience to a capital led order to the economy with government getting out of the way, except to impose an authority to manage the poor.
The world will note a reality about the post greenwash social media oligarchs under Trump 2, what their free speech mantra really is about – a mob parroting Orwellian crafted narratives as a form of salute to their masterclass.
