the Wokeness of the 1820's was still playing out a hundred years later with the Dry's vs. the Wets and Prohibition

the Dry's are back, the Temperance Lady is making her move again

"this is not Martin Luther King anymore, this is just Martin Luther now"

Protestant Reformation Puritanism is the original Woke

No, no ... Dan Carlin assures me the good guys are finally back in control of the nuclear football, and we're finally headed to an enlightened utopia. I mean, once we clean up a few deplorables here and there, and maybe take the vote away from folks who obviously are a danger to the rest of us.

well you might get some nuclear football action out of this

"Russia Russia Russia" is indeed leading them into a confrontation with the Kremlin over the Black Sea

this has all happened before in America

this is how the American Empire was born

America went Woke in 1820

it shaped the entire century,

the Temperance Movements led straight to the Civil War

Abolitionism was just another form of Christian Temperance

all Temperance leads to Hatchetation in the end, including the night they drove old Dixie down
In that case it was Andrew Jackson riding the coattails of expanded enfranchisement; when men without property also got to vote.

True democracy leads inexorably to Communism.

they need China, they have to prop Chimerica up

so instead of confronting the Chinese in the China Seas, they will pick a fight with the Russians on the Black Sea

they need a Cold War enemy, but it can't be Beijing, so Moscow is the patsy

in this situation, democracy is not your friend

the cult is voting as a block and you can't reason with them

this is the absence of politics, replacing it with religion

Vote harder. (Isn’t that what C-Mag’s friends say?)
