Woke Nightmarish Un-Reality and Joyless Un-Life

A Taoist Take on the Woke World

As for a Taoist philosopher, it’s important for me to have a philosophical outlook at political and social things as well, so I’d try to describe Woke mentality using Taoist concept of un-(something). This concept is very important in Taoism and signifies that everything in this world contains its negation, its un- part. In the Woke world, however, an un- part had completely annihilated its original, positive counterpart.

1. Woke Nightmarish Un-Reality

I argue that the Woke do indeed live in a kind of manufactured by media and social media un-reality. It’s exactly un-reality and NOT an imaginary world or escapist fantasy because those are usually JOYFUL, cozy and consoling, like Tolkien’s Shire or Elven kingdoms. Woke world is far from it. It’s joyless, nightmarish world filled with COVID and climate ‘catastrophes’, evil Trump and Putin and so on. It’s nightmarish un-reality which NO fantasy lover would EVER choose to believe. Yet Woketards do. Why?

Because it’s NOT their choice to begin with. This nightmarish un-reality was manufactured for Woketards by a super propaganda machine comprised of mainstream media, social media, pet ‘experts’ and corrupt politicians. So, Woketards were forced to believe in this nightmare, because, again, voluntarily no one would EVER to choose to believe this shit.

But still, many Woketards are apparently enjoying their apocalyptic Orwellian dystopian nightmarish un-reality. Why? Well, partly because there’s a masochistic streak in every of them and partly - a sadistic one (to be mean to their fellows and get away with it under ‘emergency’). Partly it’s because it’s the only way how Woketards with their meaningless, devoted purely to pleasures lives could feel any MEANING - to fight those fake ‘emergencies’ and ‘new Hitlers’ Trump and Putin. All of that proves that human beings can indeed get used to ANY kind of shit if propaganda would stroke their egos enough or provide them a false meaning of otherwise meaningless lives. Either way, it’s scary.

2. Woke Joyless Un-Lives

Similarly to un-reality, Woketards living un-lives. Their lives are devoid of any real joy (purely body pleasures don’t count) and any real sense (false meanings induced by propaganda don’t count as well). Woketards are conditioned to sacrifice their everything - all their comforts, freedoms and rights - for the ‘greater good’. But if you’d sacrificed everything in your life, what had left of your life? Nothing. You’re living an un-life now, a pure automaton, a body without a soul, capable only of purely hedonistic bodily pleasures, and deprived of any intellectual and spiritual ones which make us fully human. Taking into account that Woketards sacrificed all their critical thinking and all their opinions to a groupthink, analogy with human bots and automatons is even more accurate and more eerie.

3. Woke Un-Humanism

So, the Woke existence is denial of actual human existence. Woketards are living joyless un-lives in their media manufactured nightmarish un-realities, and they’re so devoid of everything which makes us human at this point that they could be in all earnest called un-human.

Woke un-humanism is indeed devoid of everything which makes us human - of empathy, common sense, critical thinking and indeed any thinking at all. Un-human automatons believe every absurdity which regime tells them to believe - common sense is no longer common. Un-common, using Taoist concept again.

Woke un-human bots don’t have not only opinions, they don’t have hearts too. They’re ready to discriminate, to imprison and even to kill anyone whom regime tells them to - unvaxed, Russians, Trump supporters, their own pets and even kids for ‘climate sake’…That’s truly scary - it’s the same mass formation psychosis which dominated Nazi Germany back in 30s. However, it’s pretty logical if you consider all that I had just said - that Woketards are un-human people living un-lives in manufactured un-realities.

There are so many un-s in the Woke un-world that I wonder is there anything which is NOT un- left here at all? I have an inkling that no, not much at least. And it’s the scariest part.
