When Finnish nationalists get together every year to socialize and organize, they call their event The Awakening. It is a great term for them to use as it has multiple meanings in this context. One is the obvious awakening among Finns of their long dormant nation pride and identity. The other is the growing awareness of what globalism and multiculturalism means to them as a people. It can also mean the growing awareness of liberal democracy and what it is doing to the people.
The
image of a man waking up or snapping out of a daze is a good one to use for all
Western people, especially Americans. In the
provinces of the Empire, there has always been a bit of skepticism about
America, so they never fully succumbed to the narcotic effects of the American
empire. In the heart of the empire, the combination of American mythology,
civic nationalism and patriotic nostalgia have kept most Americans in a
narcotic fog, unable to fully grasp what is happening to them.
There’s also a very
American aspect to this concept. The Great Awakening is
a cycle in American culture that dates to the founding. A mostly northern
phenomenon, these periodic spasms of moral and civic reform have defined our
politics. The ruling class may have abandoned Christianity generations ago, but
the people are still controlled by those same biorhythms. Therefore, Americans
are still prone to periods of excessive moralizing about the fallen state of
society.
Amusingly,
the current ruling class has bastardized the term to use it in their current
anti-white pogroms. The “woke” people waging jihad against white people claim
to be suddenly aware of white supremacy, white privilege and male privilege. In
reality, they just gobbled down the latest batch of hallucinogenics issued from
the global human resource departments. The full expression of false consciousness is middle-aged
childless women claiming to be woke on the patriarchy.
As
an aside, it is rather symbolic that the ruling class would embrace the concept
of an awakening to decorate their latest enforcement efforts. It is the
hallmark of the global ruling class to take naturally occurring phenomenon and
destroy them in an effort to squeeze a few dollars from them. It is appropriate
for a parasitic class of rapacious vermin to try to monetize and politicize the
awakening concept as they try to prevent people from waking up to the reality
of that parasitic class.
All
that aside, there is an awakening going on outside the big stages and
production houses of America popular culture. No one in corporate media is
allowed to mention it and most are happy to comply with that edict, but it is a
real thing that will define the near future, possibly the election. Like most social change, it is
happening slowly in many little ways, so it is not obvious. Even for people on
the edge of the awakening, the changes can be frustratingly subtle, but it is
happening.
People are waking up
to the reality of race in American politics and culture. You see that with the
collapse in sports viewership. Before the Left unleashed the latest anti-white
pogrom, white people loved their sports. Then it went away and then it came
back decorated with the latest political slogans. Suddenly, what it was, what
it always was, was clear to many people and they have abandoned it.
It’s not just the politics in the games, but the politics around all of us.
Another
area where people are becoming more aware of the reality behind the illusion is
in the mass media. The “fake news” stuff is a nice partisan chant, but even the
most partisan Trump people have been clinging to the belief that the media
going woke would cause them to go broke. The Biden corruption story is waking
many up to the reality of our mass media. It’s not a business at all, but one
of the many tentacles of the ruling class, used to keep certain people in
power.
The thing that the
people behind this story probably don’t get is how this puzzle piece suddenly
brings into focus a picture that was not all that clear for many. The media
claiming this Hunter Biden story is Russian propaganda is
like a bucket of ice water on the heads of many people. The outlandish
dishonesty at work here cannot be explained as mere partisanship. The whole
Biden story, his dementia and now his corruption, is a stunning eye opener for
many Americans.
Again,
it is easy for even the most cynical to miss it. “Oh, normie will go right back
to his sports ball” was what we heard months ago from the most cynical. That
did not happen and now seems unlikely to happen. The spell has been broken. The
same is happening with mass media. The center of gravity for normal people
moved from the assumption of bias to an assumption that what is in the news is
a lie. There is a palpable breakdown in trust between the people and the ruling
class.
This
Hunter Biden story may be another inflection point. Many people are looking at
this and wondering just how deep the corruption goes. After all, the FBI has
had this material for months and never followed up on it. In fact, they appear
to have been actively concealing it from Congress. Were they planning to
blackmail Biden with it if he won the election? When people can plausibly start
to wonder such things, they have lost all confidence and trust in their ruling
class.
Like most things,
cultural awakenings are not neat and tidy. The pedantic cannot appreciate that
these things happen in fits and starts. Often the real action is happening in
private conversations between friends and family. A catalyzing event brings
those private conversations into the public, but it was a series of minor
little things that nudged people along in the private deliberations. In the
fullness of time, 2020 may be known as the year of the American Awakening.
