Waking up without going woke in 2025

This is 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.

I’ve been pointing this out since 2016 and take no glee in gloating because the outcome has been the election of a hard right Government in NZ and Trump in America.

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.
