The Sweeper Truck of ‘Wokeism’

The brave little right, which claims to be a champion of the family or the opponent of gender politics, is as deceitful as the lapdog left that howls against capitalism while zealously dismantling community bonds in favor of “politics of diversity

In recent articles, we have amply demonstrated that what the brave little right calls «wokism» and what the lapdog left calls the «far right» are not opposing forces, despite pretending to be so before the cretinized masses. In reality, they are fully symbiotic. The work of mephitic agencies like USAID proves this beyond doubt, as they simultaneously fund anti-Chavist groups and indigenous movements, Zionist lobbies and «sexual diversity». The lapdog left and the brave little right are both offspring of liberalism—albeit degenerate offspring, the residue of the plutocracy’s favorite ideology. In the end, both factions serve their progenitor, though they engage in ridiculous internal skirmishes, which they dress up as a «culture war» to convince the cretinized masses that they are fighting a cosmic battle. The truth is that both ideological subsidiaries share fundamental premises that neither dares to challenge.

Regarding wokism, the brave little right behaves much like the pompier Catholicism of not-so-distant times, which absurdly labeled the filth born in the wake of May ’68 as «Cultural Marxism.» However, that so-called «Cultural Marxism» was nothing but consistent liberalism, which, in wokism, extends to its most deranged and outlandish extremes. The exaltation of personal autonomy and a distorted notion of freedom—detached from the Aristotelian order of being, as liberalism advocates—necessarily leads to the dissolving aberrations championed by May ’68 and now by its queer and woke successors. The brave little right, which claims to defend the family while simultaneously applauding this poisoned notion of freedom, is just as deceitful as the lapdog left that denounces capitalism while fervently dismantling communal ties in favor of «politics of diversity.» Both factions serve the same master while feeding the mechanisms of the demogresca—a political farce that requires both leftist and rightist subsidiaries to keep the nations (or rather, the cretinized masses into which nations degenerate once their bonds are severed) locked in perpetual conflict.

These deceivers are misleading well-intentioned people who long for a restoration of tradition.

Even in its most radical and insane expressions, wokism is nothing more than liberalism without pretense—liberalism laid bare, liberalism that pushes the chimera of personal autonomy into the murky swamps of genital stews. But, as in every community-destroying enterprise, it is necessary to have seemingly opposing forces that channel anthropological cataclysms, making the cretinized masses believe they can find refuge from a transgressive faction in a «restorative» faction that, in truth, shares its premises, albeit in a more moderate form. That is the role assigned to the brave little right—nothing more than liberalism with a corset and bloomers. Both factions merely play their designated role within liberal dynamics: the lapdog left serves as the vanguard, breaking through barriers in anthropological subversion, while the brave little right generates jarring antagonisms that distract the cretinized masses, leading them to believe they are defending opposing principles when, in reality, they only lend legitimacy to the left’s advances. This legitimacy, though delayed, is even more insidious, as it convinces those drawn into its ranks that the only way to fight the enemy is to reluctantly accept some of its conquests—which ultimately means adopting its premises.

This charade becomes evident when we examine the actions of the foremost champions of the brave little right on the global stage—currently, Trump in the Anglo-Saxon sphere and Milei in the Hispanic world. We observe that while they loudly denounce transgenderist delusions, they remain silent or evasive on abortion or the erosion of family rights, which they have already internalized as natural expressions of personal autonomy. Recall that eight years ago, Trump made the pro-life cause one of the central pillars of his presidential campaign. Now, however, he remains conspicuously silent while laying out the red carpet for in vitro fertilization. And let us not forget that among his most fervent supporters is a magnate who promotes transhumanism. As for Milei, we already know that, to him, any «contract between parties» is perfectly acceptable—even when one of the parties lacks the capacity to object. If he has gone so far as to defend marriage with an elephant, why would he ultimately oppose abortion, where one party also lacks the ability to resist?

The brave little right, which presents itself as a vanquisher of wokism, is nothing but a sweeper truck tasked with rounding up the stragglers and delivering them to the corral of liberal principles—disguised in confounding rhetoric that masquerades as the restoration of a tradition they have, in fact, come to abolish. Tragically, these deceivers are misleading well-intentioned people who genuinely seek a restoration of tradition. In the end, they are infinitely more dangerous and destructive than wokism itself, because their role is to deceive that small flock to whom the Gospel promise was made: «Nolite timere, pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis Regnum» (Luke 12:32). The brave little right, under the pretense of combating wokism, has come to steal the Kingdom from the few who persevere.
