the woke ideology (fat acceptance, 3rd wave feminism, social justice) is just satanism in disguise... the religion of self... viewing existence from the perspective of self vs viewing it as being part of a system, the universe (what i do effects you, what you do effects me, together we are a system) those 3 ideologies are exactly the same... swap out minority/majority with men/women then with fat/thin and you just went from social justice to fat acceptance and 0 of the arguments need to change (social justice, feminism, fat acceptance) 1. convince you you're different 2. convince you you're a victim because of that difference 3. convince you to act selfishly and take from this world, now that you feel like you're getting back something you've lost, something stolen from you, it's a scam, and a cult (satanism) 1. convince you are not part of the universe, you are alone, you are a single being external of the universe, the universe is acting upon you, not with you 2. convince you since the universe contains evil, it is the source of your suffering and is inescapable 3. convince you to act in your own self interest, because now you feel like you have an abuser, and refuse to see what you really are, 1/infinity of this universe, we are one the reason why the woke agenda will eventually have you arguing for segregation (as we've already seen on college campuses) is because segregation benefits the perspective of self, as people segregate they reproduce with their own race, and that makes the boxes they can put your children in by their race more defined and clearer, they don't want race mixing because that blurs the boxes, it's far more difficult to convince you to hate white people if one of your parents are white it's paramount that they get "multi-cultural centers" up on college campuses, this is peak time of finding mates and reproducing, it's a direct effort to keep students from race mixing this is bad because loneliness is misery, it hinders evolution, reproducing with someone far different than your unique self helps us evolve, we shouldn't just be race mixing, we should be dating from all corners of the planet to mix our dna as much as possible this perspective of self is hindering our own evolution and making everyone miserable and their religion is wokeism, it's how they spread their abuse and keep us enslaved... it's making the system we're all a part of weaker and what does this abuse create? some people don't like pride for the same reason why convicts in prison k**l pe***philes... they blame their entire life on them and they have a pretty good argument if they were m***lested by one "isn't it beautiful when mortal enemies like g@y people and the church get along to m**est more kids?" ~george carlin disclaimer: i am g@y (from childhood s***ual assault) and like most real g@y people, i'm not in love with other g@y people just because they're g@y... i show them compassion but i'm also careful around them because what they're capable of, they're familiar with pure evil (they're childhood s**ual assault victims and possible abusers themselves) the real g@y lifestyle isn't depicted on netflix... 40+ years old, single, degrading yourself to "get with" the youngest guys you can find because your brain is forcing you back to your trauma so you can remember it, meanwhile you get more depressed, fear aging, and live in misery alone... the g@y lifestyle is not glamorous, happy, it's not full of bright colors and parades... it's not a fairy tale, it's a lifestyle where the foundation is abuse, if not, please explain to me how lesbian relationships are also the most abusive relationships you can get into, and trans has the highest s**ide rate... when g@y men abuse each other they just call it "sex" in the form of shoving stuff up each other's a**es while they cheat on each other if you support fat acceptance or the lgbt lifestyle or even social justice then you are unknowingly supporting abuse victims to remain in an abusive situation of permanent victimhood for no reason, and then celebrate it, pride is a joke... the government and the corporations that run our government are more than happy to make pride a month so you can revel your abuse, roll around in it like a pig in slop by dancing through the streets in your underwear we actually encourage our child s** abuse victims to dance around in the streets in their underwear when they reach adulthood... think about that :/ ... have they not suffered enough humiliation? there's a difference between having compassion for the abused (lgbt people) and excusing abusive behavior (the g@y lifestyle, wokeism/satanism) which does nothing but spread more abuse, it's a vicious circle of abuse masquerading as a fun and loving experience full of support the path of happiness begins when you realize this universe isn't abusing you... you're abusing yourself 💕

@triggerpod why do you have some random african woman speaking on something she knows nothing about. She is not a Foundational Black American and she does not know the history of America. This is not a theory, dunno why whites try to trivialize the truth. *"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

The only most overtly racist person I've spent significant time with over the years was a young black woman. She was a co-worker and let's just say she spoke very poorly of certain African Americans.

[@rensuchan]

I'm black and grew up around white people in the suburbs, so I basically learned quickly that some of them were cool and others were not.... just like everyone else. I went to a pre-college program for minorities entering my University during which someone else in that program, a black girl, tried to make a fool of me during a group project. Since that experience, I knew that joining groups that focused on race over ideas/interests/activities was not for me. I wish that the young lady featured here could have realized sooner that skin color really has little to do with who you are as a person and could have avoided her depression, but I'm glad she was able to eventually get out of that dark place.

[@baldbastardo]

People just refuse to acknowledge the fact that race has nothing to do with anything. I'm as white as they come and the most friction I've ever gotten was when I was a kid in an immigrant camp in the early 80s. And it was from people from the former Czechoslovakia. I was born in Hungary. The first black kid I ever met (in Canada. There weren't any behind the iron curtain) picked a fight with me and the second stuck up for me. Yeah, that taught me a quick lesson as it comes to race: people are people and color has nothing to do with the quality of a person. It doesn't make you a victim or an oppressor either. So let's just get on with it and focus on important things.

Much of his new book is made up of things he already observed 30 years ago. Because he is always about 30 years ahead of the rest of us. The parallel in this video is of the young black guy who thought it would be pointless joining the air force, because the us air force "would never hire a black guy"... Years after numerous black fighter pilots had already been appointed.

[@jillzy1182]

I had an eye opening experience that made me wonder if a seed had been planted in my mind of being racially targeted, how every day interactions would appear in a way as validation even when things we quite innocent or innocuous. Example; This has happened to me a few times, which my perspective is what kept me from taking it the wrong way. When at the deli or meat counter waiting my turn, I’m often overlooked and the person who walked up after me gets called upon. Had I been a darker skin tone, this would solidify my belief of being mistreated and targeted for my color. However, I know as someone who’s worked behind the counter early in life that shorter people are sometimes not seen by the employees. Especially if you stand near the scale on top the counter, my head is completely blocked from their site. Most people when getting called before me, will speak up, point to me and say “this lady was here before me.” But not all. Some simply aren’t paying attention and occasionally they’re just opportunistic and A holes. Which happens in all races. Had this happened to someone of color, it would be micro aggression or something else sinister to confirm their own biases of being treated inferior to others. As long as the seed is planted, it will grow. I don’t think this is entirely by accident. I believe it’s it’s intentional by some. Not all, but definitely some

[@Geo65582]

The micro aggression,you speak of is because they are paranoid because they like opening bottles and spitting in your drink on supermarket shelves I always wondered about in my lifetime when I hear blk people said I don't eat nothing I don't prepare myself These days I wouldn't eat or ask for anything a blk person has served/made

[@libertasdemocratiam887]

And then the seed is planted that anyone who is not black can be labelled a racist for even looking at someone I'm what is deemed the wrong way. They want us divided, i don't who they is, my opinion it's Russia and China, using social media to cause division using the algorithm against us, then the useful idiots do the rest. I remember asking the lady at my local shop how her family were back home, I wasn't going to incase it came across as offensive, this was at the start of COVID, anyway the smile that came across her face was so wide, she was genuinely touched that I asked. We can't let them divide us.

[@Uncivilize]

Brilliant take. From another angle, as a codependent, I often assumed people didn't like me when sometimes they would act awkward around me, etc. What I came to understand was that sometimes they just admired me so much that they felt intimidated by me, as some told me. We can never know what's in someone else's mind.

[@fiveleavesleft6521]

I think Bret Weinstein came up with this example: A black and a white person go into a shop at the same time. If the clerk serves the black person first she's desperate to get them out of the shop therefore racist. If she serves the white person first she's showing favouritism therefore racist. What is claimed to be racism these days is mostly life is difficult, isn't always fair and people make mistakes or are sometimes just rude to everyone.

[@grantstratton2239]

I thought this as well. You tell someone, "you're a victim and any tiny inconvenience you experience is actually racism" then people experience tiny inconveniences and assume it's racism. And then if you and your peers start to vocalize that, people around you start thinking that people in your demographic are terrible people, which causes them to actually treat you differently, which is more proof of racism.... Self-fulfilling prophecy.

[@archangel_josh]

Great episode. The colourblindness of race (not being able to ask where you're from) is so regressive, like Zee mentioned. Usually when people ask that they're curious about your background, they want to hear your story and experiences but now if you ask "Where are you from?" you're labelled a racist. I work with a black man from South Africa and a few people from Asian countries are on my team and he's always asking about where they're from, in particular the types of food they cook. It's genuine curiousity and is completely fine and opens people up about who they are and where they came from. Is he a racist for focusing on that? Of course not.

When I first arrived in the UK, I was treated so well by everyone at my university but something always felt off and I wasn't sure what it was, until another black woman joined our classes and then I began to see it all for myself. These "friends" of mine didn't want to be my friend because of me, I was essentially a trophy to them, something for them to collect and parade around their other friends, like the latest Pokemon. I saw how they treated the other black girl and sickened me. It was all smiles, love, tolerance with lots and LOTS of anti-racist platitudes, until they realised that I was not happy about the collecting of black friends just to say they had black friends and when I saw through their dishonesty, I realised this was the exact same stunt they'd done with me. One day I was asked to join an *Auntie-Fay protest and when I said that I didn't want to get involved with that, they called me nasty names (some racialized) but the real eye opener was I was unwilling to "stand against Trump" that time he came to the UK and I made the big mistake of saying that he made me laugh and that I didn't think he was all that bad. Ironically, the people they demonized and whom they liked to call fash were the only ones I found who treated me with genuine kindness and didn't just want to be my friend because of my skin colour. Out of that small group of friends, the only one whom still talks to me today is M******, the other black girl whom eventually also got shunned. While I didn't get involved with CRT like Zee did, my "friends" have and they've become such horrid people, to this day, I see them on social media and it is all virtue-signalling lies. If I was anything like them, I'd expose them for what they truly are but I am just not wired that way. Thanks for reading. ❤ _* wouldn't be visible with the true name in there_

[@DarkAngel2512]

I could understand them "collecting" friends if they were interested in your culture. I study Korean and likewise Koreans come here to study English so we mutually levitate to each other for that first-hand eperience and mutual interest. But if its just done to somehow prove youre not racist then as you say that eventually will show because these ppl dont act normal. My colleague is woke and I cant stand it. She often brings up race and says what black ppl supposedly find offensive despite her claims dont match my reality around black ppl. I have a sneaking suspicion she has had fuck all black friends in her life and is somehow trying to virtue-signal over me who actually has. Like she thinks she's edcuating me somehow. I now just let her waffle and dont pull her up on stuff as the last time I tried to correct her she wasnt having it about something I knew for a fact she was wrong on. And she walks around in clothing with black political messages. I sometimes get worried when ppl like that come into my work. Another guy had the t-shirt that had the "make racists/homophobes etc afraid again". Or when ppl with pronoun badges come in because activists especially those who wear it literally as a badge if honour are likely the type to get me fired for Fbk posts.

It is very strange behaviour. I literally caught them counting how many they had on facebook and they were all comparing with one another. This went on for an age, where we'd meet up for lunch and suddenly one would bring their phone out and say something like 'Oh look what I got today, 2 new black friends' then turning her phone around showing them to everyone and then some responding with, 'ah, I'm so jealous, what's their details, I'll see if I can be friends too.' It was utterly ridiculous. for the longest time, I thought they were doing this to test me for something but that wasn't it, they truly seemed to believe this made them good people or perhaps protection against the current environment, I am not sure. there is so much more to share, that equals around 5% but the funny thing is, so many people think it is some sort of humble brag on my part and therefore don't believe me at first but it absolutely was not, it gave me the creeps and still does when I think back.

Interesting conversation, I think this either highlights how differeny CRT is taught or her understanding of it based of her social background. I was introduced to CRT in a Social Justice class in one of the top RSA universities and it didnt teach victimhood nor tiptoeing around issues, if anything my biggest takeaway was that colour blindness is the most racist of ideologies because it refuses to acknowledge the intersectionality of persons and history. There is no monolith of a Black experience but she grew up in white South Africa and already had a self image problem (her own words) she should have found herself first before attempt to find a tribe as thats how you end up being with people who will feed you the wrong ideas and turn you into a parrot activists. We can't discount the value of education in creating the world we want and the overwhelming choices we have now have limited the ability of even the state to actually pursue social programs that benefit the community rather we will be focused on benefit the winners of capitalism. If you enter CRT with a negative lens you'll see bad just like with femist theory or anything else. I just wish we lived in a less PC world so conversations could be had properly so that if someone felt disrespected they could just say it without having to try label the very obvious disrespect they feel so as to teach the aggressor better and also to model their interactions appropriately ie if need be be less sensitive.

I cannot imagine explaining to my child you were conceived to get Daddy a passport. All in all, because South African paperwork can be immensely slow, it may take up to a year for the process to complete. It's worth the wait to do things right, get my husband and in the same place with the best mindset and without concerns of cutting corners coming back to bite us. We can also see the end of the road and as a married couple it's really just a tiny blip on the landscape of the rest of our lives together.

If you have real life experiences, you see this easily, you start to view it as a part of evolution even…it’s part of competition and it definitely has existed throughout history. Stating otherwise simply shouts ignorance and self-importance.

[@pascaloneill9116]

Great to know that there are young intellectuals out there who haven't fallen for the con...beacons of hope!

[@tablescissors]

Well, at least BROKE FREE. And that hurts too, that’s another form of trauma, to realize that you truly were victimized and/or traumatized.

As a white Xennial who was on the left until about 2016 and started getting all the talk of unconscious bias and microaggressions at work, in all honesty it has done nothing positive for my interactions with people who aren't white. These ideas weren't really a thing when i was at university in the late 90s and i remember happily including all kinds of people in my social groups from all kinds of backgrounds. And yet between university and my mid 30s i internalised all this guilt and fear about unconscious bias and microaggressions and the like that it got to a point i started avoiding people based on their race which i had never done before because i'd become terrified of saying and doing the wrong thing out of my ignorance. And even now in my mid 40s i'm still struggling to get that fear out of my brain a decade later so that i can just talk to people again the way i did in my teens and early 20s.

[@jenniferthompson5146]

I experienced similar feelings, of that kind of fear. Stopped listening to those negative voices and was able to relax around blacks and have authentic pure relationships. You have to believe the best about yourself. Being a Christian helped me weed out all the lies.

[@daeith1233]

just talk to people without micro agression omg why is it such a big deal for you because you are black? Like Im African, but when I talk to my asian friends Im just acting noraml, why the need to fear to say something you shouldn't? If you fear it is it because you know you would do it or?

Lol is she serious? Or was she paid to do this? Who even comes across crt other than in college?

[@robinwilliams3131]

I sat in an early childhood conference 2019 in Melbourne Australia where the audience were told, "If you are born white, then you automatically have a privileged life over aboriginal people" This I believe was a racist statement towards people who have light skin having grown up in the 60's from a vulnerable family circumstances. Also telling anyone they are a victim is the worst possible thing someone can do to another person and it almost feels like a power struggle.

[@mattball3118]

I never really understood this need for an "identity", especially when it is centred around the most superficial things as though you are creating a video game character. Actually as I wrote that last sentence, it began to make sense, given the amount of time people spend online, that they think they need an avatar for life. Just be, you don't need to pick teams.

[@ROSE-cn4ho]

I love how she pauses to think before speaking and she’s very intentional about her words. Truly an intellectual

[@theschwartzawakens9021]

This is one of the worst interviews I’ve ever seen. These people are trying to get me to believe the perspective of a woman born in South Africa who was so disconnected from her culture that *SHE DIDN’T EVEN UNDERSTAND* that she was black? This matters because if she doesn’t know the concerns of black people in her community how can she evaluate the usefulness of any kind of theory of relationships between power, race and law, which is the main thrust of CRT? Meanwhile she throws-by insinuation -the entire black community under the bus for her mother’s sins which we know virtually nothing about, but are invited to take the harshest criticism of since it was white people who took her in. Then she critiques an academic theory that she CLEARLY doesn’t understand AT ALL to two people who also don’t understand it. And insinuates again that she understands its application in the US where it originated based on the particular racial challenges in the US. Here’s how we know she doesn’t understand it. First, she’s unable to actually explain it when asked directly. Second, she says in her story that she was told that she was oppressed and got depressed because she didn’t see her almost entirely white upbringing as being oppressive. BUT the words oppressed and oppressor are the names of ELEMENTS in a SYSTEMS MODEL. They aren’t intended to be applied to INDIVIDUAL INSTANCES PEOPLE! They could have labeled them Group A and Group B. Or beneficiary vs disadvantaged. THAT DOESN’T mean that YOU PERSONALLY are either in that category or experience those effects. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing about CRT that implies absence of agency. It is in fact, quite the contrary. I don’t know how this lady got into a political philosophy program at Cambridge, but she does NOT appear do a lot of deep thinking around this stuff.

[@swiftwindturning]

Seeing your whole world through the lens of race, harkens back to tribal times when other tribes were truly different. We all live together now, and I think we're doing a good job considering the Human tendency to fear the "other".

[@honeybunch6473]

As a survivor of a dysfunctional, violent family living in foster care and having a degree in psychology, social work and counselling, I have NEVER bought into critical race theory, social justice theory or any ideology pushing a victim agenda. Empowering oneself means accepting responsibility, believing in your self-empowering narrative, believing in the fact that you own your own destiny, that nobody has power over your story like you do. I REFUSE to use critical race theory in my practice. It has filtrated universities, companies, schools. I could not find a single course to further my studies that is not pushing critical race theory. For TRUE victims of abuse of any race, these university programmes are very stressful and take away people's power. Imagine the damage this does to a victim of abuse - sitting them down controlling the narrative, punishing decent, denying your reality, forcing you to buy into an abusive self-hating narrative , threatening exclusion, forcing to play along with a fantasty you know is untrue and taking away your ability to challenge and assert oneself etc.These are a the hallmarks of abuse. They mimic the experiences from abusive relationships and can be incredibly traumatic. The whole critical race theory programme is abusive in itself! This young lady is a true example of someone who knows true challenges but most importantly - she has accepted her challenges. I am not suprised she is not buying it - struggling often produces minds that are incredibly independent and are less dependent on affirmation.

[@dominicshaw4140]

I could listen to her for hours she's brilliant

[@TheNewblade1]

The interaction starting around 13:00 is why the left dosent fuk with kidology. The existence of 100 black millionaires, out of 45 million blacks, does not disprove a disproportionate amount of pressure being placed specifically on blacks as a result of institutionalized discrimination. Its literally just your personal antidote. I live in Atlanta, black mecca as somesay, i know what black success and wealth looks like.

[@FirstLast-rb5zj]

I'm white but have had a similar background to this person. It makes me particularly angry when people start playing make believe victim or start talking about it like they're the authority on it. A lot of people with my kind of background don't usually talk about it. I started to have serious psychological problems only when people started creating a situation where you're forced to compete and have to go through your own autobiography focusing on the most negative parts. Though that isn't even the worse part of it, It's when people insist on having some agency over you on account of victimhood which completely flies in the face of reality. This will apply to people regardless of race. If you're in a race where they then designate everyone as the victim you're going to know there are people in said race who have it very well and who are clearly not by any standard victims. I've had this situation and I think everyone who has had any difficulties at all in life has had it where if you think you're oppressed because of the colour of a bandage, mis gendering or something else like that what you're actually saying is that you're not a victim and you've had a very easy life. The effect of this is crushing. You're assumed to have had it well but then people are demanding everything of you. It's like demanding alms from the poor to give to the rich. Although not quite the same I think an experience that is widely shared in general especially by people who have actually had a rough life is the complete mismatch between what they're telling you reality is and the reality that you have actually experienced. It really is being sucked into someone else's twisted and psychotic game of make believe.

I am so grateful to this wonderful fellow South African. What a fantastic woman! As a white African it makes me feel like her words give me voice. Thank you.
