Woke is a religion that at its core signifies the thirst for a ritual, the thirst for belonging to a group of other humans. With the decline of traditional religions, there is an unfulfilled need, the search for belonging. Especially for young people who are propelled by the hormonal rage, the false messianic trap of progress.
Echo Ritual - Occupy Wall Street
This current uprising is a copycat of the “Occupy Wall Street”. The same camps, the same rituals. When I observed “Occupy Wall Street”, there was a custom of people repeating every word that the speaker was saying. I am standing five feet from the speaker, and they all repeat every word. Why? You can easily project the voice even a hundred feet. I was outraged and annoyed. And then I realized this wasn’t about words, this was about participation in a common ritual. Like saying “kedusha” out loud. The clips from Columbia U have the same ritual.
When the woke are running things
The woke Marxists hold cultural control over the country, the blue states, and the institutions. They took over universities, then they took over the government. From the universities, they extended ideological control to the media, the law, and the public (and private) schools. I have been seeing and saying this for 30 years. And now everyone has finally “woken” up?
The Jews that are participating in the demos naturally succumbed to the dominant state religion. This is a story as old as the world. Harvard meets the Yevsektsiya, meets the Misyavnim, etc.
They are currently removing these camps as it is the election year, and it is perceived as detrimental to Democrats, presumably Jewish Democratic votes. Don’t tell them, but they have nothing to worry about, the Jews are obedient to the regime and stand at the front of the woke lines through thick and thin. In fact, Marxist Jews are the original woke proprietors of the messianic religion.
There is also an opinion that this, like the BLM, is orchestrated, perhaps financed. BLM was to demonize Trump before the election, to turn culture into the DEI, gain jobs, exclude whites, etc. Since they have already cordoned off the angry white male, is it time for the Jewish colonizers to be excluded?
Haymarket is a “Socialist” publisher from Chicago. Palestine now includes Gays, Latinx, the kitchen sink of the left. What the hell is a “water ritual”? Is BLM sufficiently represented, maybe drums? I forgot the Jews are white colonizers. Never mind that Arabs sold more slaves than anyone. In fact, Arabs sell and own slaves even today. But the queers aren't concerned about the facts. How come they have queers but no trans? Palestinians love queers and trans.
I always suspected the “drum circle” was Marxist and ghey.
Hitler-Jugend loved drumming.
The Next Uprising
Next time, there is an uprising because they falsified an election again, or they put Trump in prison, or they kidnapped a boy from his parents to chop off the boy’s penis (how come there is not a blood libel for that?). Don’t be surprised when they say they treat everyone the same, see. Only this time there will be devastation (Jan 6th), prisons and real oppression.
Chabad (euphemism)
Which brings us back to one subject, Reb Zalman. In a way, Gaza (almost said Geza) demonstrators are like messianic Hamas in 770. They are propelled by something lacking in the religion, or the lack of the very religion.
Chabad has been taken over by the mercantile class, by лавочники, the shopkeepers. Chabad is subservient to the political power and money. Where do we all find spirituality that is essential to our lives?
It’s a very practical question for us and the student woke demonstrators.
P.S. Лавочники, the Shopkeepers
There is a common misnomer, calling the Chabad majority “peasants”. I prefer the name лавоники, the shopkeepers. It is more accurate. In a way, “peasants” is a translation from the “soviet” language. “Peasant” is essentially a serf who in Russia lacked any agency and survived into the Soviet days. But there was also a kulak, a farmer, an honorable and enterprising class that was destroyed. Then there were also Jewish kibbutzim (below). Being close to the land makes you proud, it’s uplifting hard work. Just ask Rabbi Green. The majority of Chabad today, especially shluchim, are лавочники, the shopkeepers. A transactional occupation that adds no value, injures the soul, and renders Jews who seek spirituality homeless. Let’s mediate on the last sentence…
From the Yivo archive. Jewish Agriculture settlements in the Soviet Belarus, 1924. 100 years ago, imagine 100 years we had!
As in Weimar Germany Communists Radical Marxists and sick Jews dominated cultural and political scene but the German folk hated these creature and soon there was a counter revolution a very costly one.
Many Orthodox rabbis wished H dropped anti Semitism and they could back him...
But lets get ready for a counter revolution ,
You are only familiar with the elites in the coast plenty of local college kids,blue collar youth who are set to go.
I went to such a college in late 60s and no one there knew anything,so not everyone is at Yale or UCLA and many of those elites are sheep,if fascism is the flavor of the day,they will buy it
