Why do woke/progressive/liberal movements attract so many crazies?

Question

"Woke" is a verb- it's the past tense of "wake". I'm convinced these people chose it because 1. it's even more insulting than calling themselves "enlightened", and 2. it signals (to their minds) solidarity with black people, because American black culture often acts like grammar followed it home and beat it up after school, and "poor English" is, to many of these nuts, a defining characteristic of black people.

That's pretty much the core point- the movement is so wrapped up in its own self-righteous insanity that it can't even examine what it is and what it's become. It, and those like it, still think it's the 1960's, and that they're still the righteous Boomers, opposing the openly, and horrifically, racist policies and practices of the day. Those policies are gone. Those practices are gone. Even back in the day, being a conservative didn't mean you were a bigoted jackass; it CERTAINLY doesn't mean that today.

It stems from a very cultlike mentality of victimhood worship, which requires that you never admit any progress has been made, because then you'd have to admit that you're not a victim any more. Consider affirmative action policies: the idea is that some groups of people come from disadvantaged backgrounds, so they should be given preferential treatment in hiring and college admissions. That's not just rewarding incompetence, it's incentivizing it- and it's PUNISHING performance at the same time. Not only does this encourage continued problems that afflict black people, it guarantees resentment against them from other groups, who work hard to outperform them and then get excluded for it. And so the cycle perpetuates, guaranteeing eternal victimhood.

THAT is why it attracts so many crazies; it's craziness incarnate.

Because the initial premise of the whole view point is crazy. Like how is one responsible for something dead people generations ago did? The second you buy a nonsense viewpoint like that you are firmly in the crazy camp. So no shock most crazies are woke.

Note how when woke call conservatives crazy they call them a gun nut for example... "you... own... a... gun? You're a gun nut" they think literally everything they don't agree with is crazy. This is called projection. They are crazy so they call everyone else crazy. We used to have asylums for these people and we should again.

One big factor is that your Democrat party is controlled by these woke progressives and the other party did nothing as they took over the schools and media in the country. Now, most teachers are woke and their agenda is not to teach math, science and other subjects, it is to convert them to their side. You actually have woke doctors in the USA that have testified in congress that it is possible for a biological male to get pregnant and give birth. How are these kids going to argue against their teachers and against doctors? Then when they watch the news, the news anchors are spreading the woke agenda. When they use Facebook, they don't realize that the information is controlled by people in the woke progressive movement. They are currently raging over losing controll of Twitter. When Hitler was just a chancellor, ne had limited power. He realized that to get total, absolute power, he needed to take control of all media and all of the schools. Then he could control "the hearts and minds" of the German people. Actual quote. Sound familiar? Then he needed to create a fake attack and blame it on his political opponents , the communists. Look up the story of Reichstag fire. This was duplicated by the woke fools as the January 6th attack on the capital. It should be scary that these woke progressives are literally following Hitler's path to power almost to the letter. Nazis were National Socialists. Ask anyone claiming to be woke and they will tell you Socialism is superior ro capitalism.

Not denying there aren’t left-wing wackos out there but, these days, there are just as many on the right with all the conspiracy theorists, white supremacists and militia groups. Both sides have become scary as hell.

It's the movements are Marxist in nature and Karl Marx while obviously almost a genius in what he did, was also pretty crazy.. It's contradictive, and shift responsibility.. It speaks to the lower human nature while pretending to be virtuous because it accepts that lower human nature and expects everybody else to kindly accept it also..

Those movements tend to promote empathy and accetance, so the crazies want to go where they won't be made to feel like they have a problem.
