Let's define it: woke and wokism refers to a culture war that redefines reality according to leftist ambitions. Everything we think, say and do is evaluated in terms of whether it serves the globalist agenda. That's all you have to know about it.
There is an underlying philosophical dispute. The left wants the power to declare things as truth regardless of facts. Those who claim to be on the right are grousing because they prefer an Aristotelian universe where facts are the only thing that matter. If you've read much of this blog at all, you know what I'm going to say: Both sides are wrong. Not just wrong, but both sides are fundamentally evil. Both sides are seeking to avoid divine revelation by defining it out of existence. The righties are materialistic and worldly; it's a man-centered outlook, refusing to reach into moral and spiritual space. But the lefties have wandered into our territory with the stink of Hell.
The globalists want to proclaim a pagan revelation. The Bible makes it clear that any perceived deity except the God of the Covenant is just a demon. Feminism is a religion of the Devil, and it's the underlying religion of wokism. And in the end, it is actually more materialistic than the right-wing, seeking material benefits that are simply not available.
Here's the real issue: Yes, there is a problem in American society. Clear away all the goofy propaganda from both the left and right, and we can see it clearly. It's not "racism" but a cultural hegemony that happens to associate with a particular racial group: northern European white people. The Anglo-American culture is frankly pagan and evil. It represents one of several major branches that grew from the root of the same tree.
By now you should know the story. The early church leaders lost the battle with the Judaizers, though they didn't know it at the time. The church leadership had become infested with the false notion that they could and should find a path to worldly peace with pagan government. The church leaders quickly abandoned the concept of the Covenant, and began thinking in terms of the Church as a human nation with a human government, and simply declared themselves divine enough to claim God's authority to rule. Thus, the Church declared a treaty with Roman government. As Rome collapsed under its own weight, the Church was left standing by itself as the de facto government of what was left of Rome.
They declared a truce with the invading Germanic hordes in order to preserve their power and properties. The truce involved abandoning what little was left of their otherworldly orientation and distinctly Hebrew outlook, and dressed up the gospel in terms of Germanic mythology. The Church embraced the Germanic outlook and tried to tame it, making it less barbaric. They offered the put their stamp of approval on Germanic rulers if they would adopt a few rules and promote a more noble version of the culture they already had. It was not a genuine conversion at all.
This paganized the Church, of course. It was this paganized Germanic religion that then split into several major branches. One of them was the Anglo-American, so labeled because it became the dominant identity of the American colonists. This culture was set into law via the Articles of Confederation, and then the US Constitution. The entire orientation of the culture and law favored those who held to the English brand of the Enlightenment.
Anyone who migrated here, or was dragged here to America, were obliged to embrace this culture and law. It is based on the manifest character of white northern Europeans, and assumed anything different is inherently evil. If you come with a different raft of assumptions about reality, you will be automatically censured under the US Constitutional law and American culture. If you weren't born with the white-man's character traits, and your were raised under a different culture and traditions, you either adapted quickly or you found yourself constantly in trouble with law and society.
It's no surprise that any number of African people, for example, struggle to adapt. It is quite alien to their character and culture. Maybe a little less so for Latinos, and perhaps not such a struggle with Asians, but it's for sure some of the non-white people here in America have a very tough time. Meanwhile, the dominant whites do naturally assume that their culture and law are exactly what God has commanded, though they never knew Him in the first place. They even go so far as to assume this should be the universal model for humanity as a whole. This is the real problem behind the code-word "racism". Things are bad, and do need some work to fix.
But the answers promoted on both sides are wrong and wrong-headed. We reject CRT and all the other nasty alphabet propaganda for the same reason we reject the more right-wing Anglo-American viewpoint. We don't defend either side; it's a false dichotomy. Both are contrary to the Creator's revelation. And given the history of how we got into this mess, we should hardly be surprised that no one is going to listen to us. Rather, we should expect this to all come crashing down in a bloody civil war.
If you want to walk in the Covenant, you must embrace what the Covenant revelation has to say about all of this. We need to understand what God says we should expect, because it's going to be an apocalyptic situation that ends when the Lord wipes from the earth most of humanity.
