But what was once the ideology of a small number of radical leftists has become a cancer infecting the West, a belief system designed to destroy Western culture and societies by turning everyone against one another and in particular against anything that makes society strong and functional. Referred to at times as "cultural marxism" or "woke culture", the essence of it is that society consists of a power struggle between oppressor groups and the oppressed. Men oppress women, whites oppress other races, Christians oppress non-Christians, the wealthy oppress the working class, the able oppress the disabled, and so on.
The goal of this is to tear society apart by putting everyone in conflict with everyone else. As nearly every person will find himself belonging to both oppressor and oppressed groups, therefore everyone is simultaneously destructive and evil, as well as a helpless victim of others, who can only solve his problems when the oppressors above him somehow stop oppressing him.
As the left has, over time, essentially won the culture wars and taken over the media almost entirely, it has become ever more authoritarian, as authoritarians are drawn to positions of power. In the hands of left authoritarians, this ideology is entirely destructive. The left hates men, hates white people, hates capitalism, and in fact hates the west altogether. (All of this despite the fact that many of these left authoritarians are white males)
Liberals are almost entirely unaware that any of this is going on. They had for a long time viewed themselves in a conflict with conservatives, and still view cultural conflicts from this viewpoint. They have completely failed to notice that they now stand in the middle between conservatives on the right, and left authoritarians. This is primarily because all of the positions of the authoritarian left are designed to appear to be liberal positions. The left is anti-male, but masquerades as feminist, the left hates whites but masquerades as champions of civil rights.
Liberals believe in freedom of speech, the authoritarian left is utterly opposed to it. Liberals believe that people are innocent until proven guilty in a proper court of law, the left believes in mob justice. Liberals want a healthy functioning society, the left wants to destroy society.
While most of those pushing woke culture don't have any sense of an overall goal to what they're doing, there is a goal, which is the old traditional goal the far left has always had, socialist revolution. Once the west is utterly broken down and everything it once stood for destroyed, the way is paved for the glorious socialist utopia, which will of course be a nightmarish police state, similar to the Soviet Union or communist China.
The west is in the middle of a cultural collapse, with western values almost completely destroyed, leaving nothing but tolerance and diversity, which are by themselves the absence of values. We have no values and so invite in anyone else who still does, and we tolerate everyone because we have no values of our own to uphold.
To bring this topic to the subject of this message board, all of this is coming to a climax, and soon. The left's ideology of oppression cannot persist into the next High. It will either be destroyed in the general coming together of society, or it will be destroyed after the socialist revolution succeeds and anyone who dares to criticize any aspect of the new society is killed.
Liberals are not aware of the rise of the authoritarian left, but conservatives are extremely aware of it. They have identified the enemy and are preparing to do battle against them. On the one side, a possible fascist remaking of society to purge the cancer and reassert traditional values, on the other side, a death cult intent on destroying the west and creating the worst police state the world has ever seen. And liberals stand in the middle between the two, oblivious to it all, living under the illusion that they have almost perfected society, if they could just clear out a few nagging remnants of the old ways.
