A most interesting article. Thank you Daniel for your insight.
I hope to discuss it further when we meet.
I recall as a child at my primary school, there was only one black boy. Most of the children shunned him perhaps out of fear. I was the only one who befriended him because he lived just along the street where I lived. A little while later a Pakistani boy arrived, he was the most hateful little fucker preaching his Islam all the boys beat the sit out of him. By the way, he was later to become the father of Anjem Chowdrey.
So I think children do have an inner sense and see things with more clarity than we think when left to their own devices. But obviously they need guidance from their parents.
Woke is total indoctrination. I noticed this with my daughter of 22 years who has just finished university. She is most upset by my views and sometimes doesn’t speak for days. I will not back down but upset her even more so when I say, you will understand when you grow up.
Thanks Ivor. That’s an amazing connection, having gone to school with Anjem Chowdrey’s father. Islam of course is the purest expression of in group preference ever crafted, the ultimate supremacist system. What hate, fear and prejudice existed in the West towards those who are not from the in group was pitifully moderate by comparison, certainly in Britain where racial and cultural confidence more often imparted a sense of noblesse oblige rather than anything else. And yes, we must fix a date for that meet. 😀
I was in University in the late '90s and early 2000s, back in the day when I exemplified what you're describing. As a TA during my grad studies, I felt so superior showing them a dated documentary by anti-racism activist Jane Elliott, in which she derides the white students of a high-school class, on behalf of the black students, who felt compelled to rise to the occasion (Jane's expectations) by narrating on-demand "victimhood".
Afterwards I felt foolish, sensing that my very racially mixed class (black, white, and everything else) were wondering what all the fuss was about. In other words, this generation was already used to, and tolerant of, one another. Jane was an already old broad (as I am now) from the generation of lynchings and Jim Crow... completely out of touch with what was real, in the present.
One of the most amazing things about ‘there must be change’ thinking is that it doesn’t acknowledge how much change already exists. It should be obvious that 2024 is not the same as 1924 or 1824 or 1724, yet for race obsessed white haters the assumption is that white majority societies are always exactly the same. It’s just one of many absurdities in their thinking.
Re the feminist angle, I’ve read done truly disgusting things from extreme feminists talking about their own children, things which show these fanatics to be unfit for parenthood.
Josh Slocum's podcast "Disaffected" (YouTube, Rumble and Substack) brilliantly deconstructs toxic mothers, including those with "cluster B" personality disorders such as his own was afflicted with. His premise is that such DSM diagnoses now apply widely to "woke" society.
Jews have a historical problem with self hate, we called them collaborators in previous wars, It’s our cross to bear, so to speak. It’s an indicator that the cycle never ends
Yes, although I’m an outsider looking in that seems clear to me. What we have seen in the period since WWII is this occurring with white people too. For me the origin point of that is Nazism being used by Communism, of the lesson of Nazi horror not being that we must stop hatred of Jews (the proper lesson), but that we must begin hatred of whites (the lesson Communists delivered). One of the reasons as an Englishman that I’ve grown to realise how vast and unjust hatred of Jews is, is because I see the same things being done now to particularly Anglo whites-the denial of that identity, the endless focus on the alleged crimes of that identity, the refusal to view that identity as composed of individuals, the looking for the malign and only the malign in that identity, the claim that this identity is the wellspring of all other evils, the idea that this identity is a conspiracy of exploitation of others. And the internal phenomenon of those who love themselves from this identity hating their own group.
All of it is the same, it’s just that what Jews have dealt with for thousands of years whites have now been dealing with for 70 years.
Back when I was in college in the 1980's, I'm embarrassed to say I was in such a place, the students would self-sort by race in the cafeteria. I thought this was absurd and vowed that everyday I'd sit at a different table. I sat at the tables of Puerto Ricans, blacks, whites, asians and every other group I could find. Only the blacks and Hispanics mildly told me that I didn't belong there. I didn't care and this was before racial violence so I kept on doing it.

Brilliant as usual…. And so wonderful to hear about your kids. They sound so lovely 🥰
Thanks Syl 😀😀😀

This post by English Professor Janice Fiamengo, on feminist mothers who actually hate their own young sons for being men, serves as a further and highly disturbing illustration of the perverse phenomenon you've exposed here: https://open.substack.com/pub/fiamengofile/p/when-feminism-is-child-abuse?r=q4die&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

That's for sure...

I think he is absolutely right. Woke ideology both attracts and creates mental illness.

I didn't change the world, unfortunately.
