Woke Marxism operates like a cult, using double meaning language to indoctrinate members.
By strategically using words with dual meanings, the woke manipulate language to advance their activist agenda.
Deep dives
The Cult-like Nature of Wokeness
The podcast episode explores how woke Marxism operates with a double meaning language, often using words that have an esoteric meaning understandable only to those indoctrinated into the cult. Terms like diversity, inclusion, and belonging are given an exoteric meaning that seems positive and inclusive to outsiders, but actually have an esoteric meaning that aligns with critical theory and identity politics. The podcast highlights the use of strategic equivocation and the Mott and Bailey strategy, where the woke use a defensible fake definition in public but operate with an indefensible activist definition in practice. The episode emphasizes the importance of asking questions, clarifying definitions, and not implementing policies or laws without clear meanings around specialist terminology.
Equivocation and Strategic Language
The episode delves into the concept of equivocation, where the woke strategically use words with multiple meanings to their advantage. By alternating between the exoteric meaning (the interpretation that most people recognize) and the esoteric meaning (the hidden meaning known by cult insiders), the woke manipulate language to appear inclusive and unassailable, while advancing their activist agenda. This tactic is compared to the behavior of cults, specifically a Gnostic cult, where knowledge and language play a central role. The episode underscores the importance of not falling for the exoteric meaning and continually questioning the true intent behind the words used by the woke.
Questioning and Addressing Woke Language
In this episode, listeners are urged to continually question and challenge the language of wokeness. The podcast advises asking for clarification and specificity when terms like diversity, inclusion, or responsible decision-making are used, as they often carry hidden, esoteric meanings that align with critical theory and cultural Marxism. By prying into their definitions and asking 'according to whom,' individuals can expose the true intentions behind the words and force proponents of wokeness to explain their stance. Additionally, the episode advises against implementing any policies, laws, or initiatives without clear meanings around specialist terminology, emphasizing the need to address and challenge cult-like language to prevent its influence from further permeating society.
