Most Americans aren’t buying Woke Capital’s pledge to Be Better in the War on Racism:
There are only two possible responses to “In the wake of the protests against the deaths of African Americans during encounters with police, many companies have responded by making anti-racism statements that include commitments to equality, instituting new diversity initiatives or pledging support for black-owned businesses. Do you believe these statements are pandering to consumers, or an indication of a genuine commitment to fight racism?” The choices are “generally pandering” or “generally genuine”, so residual values above represent the percentages who view corporate press releases and payouts as sincere.
Sales are not Woke Capital’s pressure point, though. Boycotts are slow, hard to sustain, easily undermined by complacency, and mitigated by corresponding buycotts.
Where corporations are vulnerable is through their public facing portals. Nobody cares if you’re going to stop buying Krusty Shakes because the soft serve was warm. That’s an easy way to hustle a free meal, but it’s not going viral. Call out Krusty Burger for failing to pay the BLMgeld (pronounced “blame-geld”), though, and you’ll have the undivided attention of the company’s entire social media team. Go after Krusty Burger’s suppliers in the same way, asking whether or not they condone what Krusty Burger is doing, and panic really sets in. The shakedown payout–or dopamine hit, if voluntary thought policing if your jam–is as good as yours!

Yeah, the numbers are high because, unfortunately, most of us have worked for Big Biz for small or large portions of our lives. We know firsthand how much they collectively act like pussies. This has been the case way back before this “woke” stuff. C’mon, guys, t’s all ass-covering nowadays.
A lot of the public outrage over the deaths of George Floyd and this Brooks fellow is not really about them at all. BLM is capitalizing on the public mood shift of course, and Woke Capital is capitalizing on BLM (because, at bottom, Woke Capital is incredibly stupid), but that isn’t what it’s really about. Nor is it about racial tensions.
This is about years and years of pent-up frustration with a system that no longer works. The average, law-abiding person today feels like a sucker for playing by the rules; he feels like the powers that be are militating against his little life with an incomprehensible degree of arrogance and callousness, and that he has much more to lose to the system than what he gains by it. The average man not only cannot get ahead, he is one missed payment or doctor’s visit or altercation with a careless cop away from total ruin.
The police are very visible symbols of this broken system. For years we have watched the cops blow away people with impunity, shoot people’s dogs, walk around peaceful neighborhoods and schools in combat armor, harass decent citizens for trivial offenses, never face justice for their excessive force, and walk away from it all with the kind of six-figure pensions and cadillac care that Joe Blow can only dream about. There is a seething frustration with all this just under the surface. It cannot articulate itself; it has no verbal or political outlet, so it bursts out in strange ways using words not really its own.
Looked at in this way, it makes a curious kind of sense that the men whose deaths finally occasioned the long overdue day of reckoning, Floyd and Brooks, have nothing personally commendable about them. It isn’t about them at all. It’s about ordinary people saying “Screw it!” Opting out is, I believe, the polite terminology.
An innocent victim could not have generated this sort of outrage. If the cops had gunned down a mother and her baby, for instance, it either would have been dismissed as an accident or it would have been dealt with in the ordinary course of law or it would have been added to the smoldering pile of silent resentment that we all already feel. We already have psychological compartments for dealing with such clear-cut evils. But when the evil is of the diffused, generalized variety that hides within the respectable forms of the cop, the banker, and the CEO, it is difficult to express it because any such expression is, first of all, an admission of weakness. These people don’t kill us directly, but they degrade and insult us on a constant basis. They don’t come sneaking out of the bushes to beat us on the back of the head and take our wallets, but they do take away our freedom, our dignity, and our manhood. Why is it that so many ordinary people want to stand up and say “I am George Floyd” when such people never would have come within a million miles of the kind of life that he lived? It’s because his symbolic value is not in how he lived but in how he died. We are all George Floyd because we all can’t breathe. We all have our faces smashed into the ground by The Man and we’re freaking sick of it. Nobody knows how to say this, so instead they say “Black Lives Matter.”
Today they come for the cops. Tomorrow they will be coming for the banks. This is all quite deserved and has very little to do with race. Do not confuse the yodel with the avalanche.
They won’t go for the banks because no one’s allowed to think about the banks. It’s race-race-race all of the time. Remember what Hillary Clinton asked in 2015-2016, “If we broke up the banks today, how would this end racism?”Replies: @dfordoom

People who actually think this is about race cannot understand subtext and are prone to taking things literally.
A big reason the Right lost the culture war was because they took what the Left said at face value and did not understand the subtext. They never understood what the fight was really about.
And from the looks of it, the Right still struggles with subtext and literalism, judging by all the articles here "refuting" BLM, lol.Replies: @usNthem

I’d like to agree with you, but the people rioting and demanding the police take a knee are the same people tearing down statues of dead white males.
They won’t go for the banks because no one’s allowed to think about the banks. It’s race-race-race all of the time. Remember what Hillary Clinton asked in 2015-2016, “If we broke up the banks today, how would this end racism?”
The people tearing down statues of dead white males are also not Marxists. Their understanding of political concepts such as Marxism or fascism is non-existent. They're just people who are angry and they don't really understand why they're angry but they know they're angry.
The reason they're going after those statues and the reason they're spray-painting the hammer and sickle is because doing those things triggers the people who support the current corrupt failed system. It's a way of hitting back. These are not true political acts because they're being carried out by people who are politically naïve. They're simply signs of extreme anger and frustration.
Not everything is about race. Even blacks are not really angry abut racism. They're angry for much the same reasons whites are angry. They think that the system is not working.Replies: @silviosilver

I don’t agree with everything you say here, but this is 100% correct, and I think it is this that drives some of the misogyny on the dissident right. Do men get testosterone hits? If so, I suspect punching down at women delivers a better high than frankly acknowledging that we are ruled by rapacious, out-of-control elites.
A few days ago, Eric Striker proposed that White advocates make an “underdog’s case” for White self-determination. My response: WN machismo won’t allow it. My impression is that European men do not suffer from the delusion that standing up to hostile elites is unmanly, and WN misogyny is not nearly as prevalent there as it is here.
The irony, of course, is that refusing to notice the boot on your neck precludes the possibility of actually doing anything about it.
Blaming your ex-wife, is personal.
For the younger guys, blaming the women who won't date you, or worse have an OnlyFans, is personal; also a way to dodge the guilt from porn consumption.
Scott Adams said that Hillary was like your ex-wife, or the HR manager from work.

But would actually happen if a company said something like “We at XYZ Corp reject BLM and ANTIFA violence. We are not a political organization, we are a business focused on delivering/producing the best blah blah blah… for our customers” and refused to pay the BLMgeld?
It’s a bad look for the social media marketing team (probably mostly politically clueless wokesters themselves) and a possible loss of status in their professional circles, but beyond that what?
The best part is many of these brands now don’t know how to keep using their Twitter accounts. Once you post your super serial ‘Black Lives Matter’ message, what do you post afterward? Doritos hasn’t posting anything in weeks, you can’t delete it and you can’t start up again promoting ‘New Ultra Spicy Jalapeno Doritos!’.
I suppose one way would be to hire a young black woman with an afro to be your new head of social media or Twitter account and then post a picture of her smiling and introducing her. But if that’s the case already I don’t see what they can do.
The most extreme example so far though happened last night when the English Premiere League started back up in empty stadiums. Every player and official took a knee before the game and if that wasn’t enough, every player had their name replaced on the back of their shirt with ‘Black Lives Matter’.
What I love about the clip is the piped in crowd noise. It’s a subtle metaphor for something…
Small wonder so many people want to see it all burn.

“Men punching down at women?” Don’t like it do ya sweatheart! Men have been relentlessly hammered in every way shape and form since the advent of 60’s 3rd wave feminazi ism.

Just more “poor me” pissing and moaning from a woman who doesn’t like it that the party’s over for the “womynze”. You are a troll!
The survey just shows how ignorant most people are.
Those running the corporations are not pandering. They were educated at the same top-tier schools, by the same professors with Leftist bent, and selected by the same admissions committees, for maximal conformism to woke ideology.
They are not pretending, or playing a self-serving game. They are genuine party commissars, because that is what they were selected to be. They will sacrifice profit immediately, for wokeness, and this is only rational. Profit is just money. Wokeness is power.
Confronted with an adversary that pushes back, WokeCapital bends the knee.
We haven't tested the thesis that they would ignore profit if it brought them to the brink of bankruptcy.

We all have our faces smashed into the ground by The Man and we're freaking sick of it. Nobody knows how to say this, so instead they say "Black Lives Matter."

Great comment.
People who actually think this is about race cannot understand subtext and are prone to taking things literally.
A big reason the Right lost the culture war was because they took what the Left said at face value and did not understand the subtext. They never understood what the fight was really about.
And from the looks of it, the Right still struggles with subtext and literalism, judging by all the articles here “refuting” BLM, lol.
We are living under some strange economic system. I haven’t heard a good holistic name for it, though there seem to be names that aptly describe parts of it: woke capital, lawfare, cancel-culture, etc.
Some people seem to call it “late-stage capitalism”, but I don’t think that encapsulates it either because it doesn’t encompass the foundation involved, the individual dynamics at play, or the incentives and motivations. It would be simple to call it “woke capitalism”, but again, I don’t think that covers the earlier decades, when affirmative action was first initiated and the groundwork laid. “Globalism” is good in certain ways, but is too macro.
How much of the economy is woke? Or else some kind of egalitarian transference? I wonder how it would compare to certain distortions in the GDP of the USSR. Like the size of the black market. I’ve heard that in the ’80s the Soviet military controlled something just north of 50% of the official economy. But that figure is not just MIC but involves their ownership of the production of some consumer goods, or things like printing presses for newspapers.
Perhaps, our problem is that we cannot create a black-market of non-woke, where people can flee the parasitism. The incentive structure doesn’t exist, especially on the elite end. And creating non-woke co-ops is difficult because of anti-discrimination laws, and a thousand other factors. It is easy to put pressure a small operation.
They genuinely believe it, because they are basically selected to believe it, from adolescence to early adulthood, and beyond. It is convenient because it allows them to recruit absolutely loyal henchmen in blacks, homos, and ugly women, and the supposed hidden oppression is a great excuse to impose real, overt oppression on their class enemies: lower-middle to middle class whites.
All of the big businesses are woke, which is a huge part of the economy, and growing percentage-wise, as they use their wokeism to smash their enemies in the small to mid-size businesses.
There is definitely an incentive to develop an alternative economy free of the wokeist oppressors. That is actually what cryptocurrency was developed to do, but it does not work because the technical capital available to the wokeists in the FBI, NSA, etc is too great. They can find and stomp any black or gray market of scale. That is not going to change until Western demographics become so bad they cannot even recruit enough white men for the federal police.

Spandrell’s Bioleninism is basically the perfect description of the system we live under in the West. All our elites subscribe to the worldview that human beings are equal on the inside, which means there must be hidden oppression, lurking somewhere.

But I think it is missing at least one or two layers. Bioleninism is a term that can be applied to other spans of history.

I think we are dealing with a new form of Bioleninism, one supercharged by various characteristics of the West, for the past few decades.

The problem with this is that many people who have low social class are just unlucky, not biologically deficient. When you give them power they eventually become independent of you, or their children do. Once they have options, it is hard to keep their loyalty.
Bioleninism is better because you instead recruit people who are never going to become independent. They are biologically deficient. Without your woke ideology, many blacks, homosexuals, and unattractive women know that they would have very little status. In a natural setting they are, unfortunately, going to have inferior status to healthy people, and there is nothing that can ever change this. So they will be loyal to you forever.
Bioleninism is the next step beyond classical Marxism and Leninism, and it is superior in terms of its strength and sustainability. That is why it has had such amazing success.
They’ll be sorry they lit this fire. It’ll burn down their own system, it will.
The uncontrollable nature of their patronized pets will ensure that.

Conservatives just want to grill, like you said. They cannot be bothered to learn why everything going back decades or centuries was mistaken and inevitably leads to our impoverishment and destruction. They are not going to boycott the NFL.
Even if they did, I would not be so sure that the NFL would drop woke ideology in the slightest way. Everybody in the social spheres of the owners and their children is a woke commissar. They are the class enemies of their customers. Woke ideology is part of their social status, and holding onto social status is more important than making money.
Jeff Bezos literally said that if you are a racist, he does not want you as a customer. A racist is just anyone who does not believe in woke ideology, particularly they question the special, nominally oppressed status of the biologically broken foot-soldiers of the Left: the blacks, gays, spinsters, etc. Bezos does not care if he loses money on this, but even if he did it couldn't be much, because he knows that people will just shut up and toe the line. Anyone who will not shut up and comply, is worth starving out, even if it means losing some money.

OT, but anyone else here realized that these woke retards are shifting the Overton Window to the inevitable white identity politics backlash faster than the alt-right ever has? Major cognitive dissonance on the Left: reminding white people over and over again that they are white after decades of putting racism into the same moral category as child molestation, asking them to accept their white identity, and then with their new, consciously crafted white identity, expecting them to go against their group’s interests. I always knew that gentry liberals sucked at understanding human nature, but damn!

Good point.
This is about years and years of pent-up frustration with a system that no longer works. The average, law-abiding person today feels like a sucker for playing by the rules; he feels like the powers that be are militating against his little life with an incomprehensible degree of arrogance and callousness, and that he has much more to lose to the system than what he gains by it. The average man not only cannot get ahead, he is one missed payment or doctor's visit or altercation with a careless cop away from total ruin.
The police are very visible symbols of this broken system. For years we have watched the cops blow away people with impunity, shoot people's dogs, walk around peaceful neighborhoods and schools in combat armor, harass decent citizens for trivial offenses, never face justice for their excessive force, and walk away from it all with the kind of six-figure pensions and cadillac care that Joe Blow can only dream about. There is a seething frustration with all this just under the surface. It cannot articulate itself; it has no verbal or political outlet, so it bursts out in strange ways using words not really its own.
Looked at in this way, it makes a curious kind of sense that the men whose deaths finally occasioned the long overdue day of reckoning, Floyd and Brooks, have nothing personally commendable about them. It isn't about them at all. It's about ordinary people saying "Screw it!" Opting out is, I believe, the polite terminology.
An innocent victim could not have generated this sort of outrage. If the cops had gunned down a mother and her baby, for instance, it either would have been dismissed as an accident or it would have been dealt with in the ordinary course of law or it would have been added to the smoldering pile of silent resentment that we all already feel. We already have psychological compartments for dealing with such clear-cut evils. But when the evil is of the diffused, generalized variety that hides within the respectable forms of the cop, the banker, and the CEO, it is difficult to express it because any such expression is, first of all, an admission of weakness. These people don't kill us directly, but they degrade and insult us on a constant basis. They don't come sneaking out of the bushes to beat us on the back of the head and take our wallets, but they do take away our freedom, our dignity, and our manhood. Why is it that so many ordinary people want to stand up and say "I am George Floyd" when such people never would have come within a million miles of the kind of life that he lived? It's because his symbolic value is not in how he lived but in how he died. We are all George Floyd because we all can't breathe. We all have our faces smashed into the ground by The Man and we're freaking sick of it. Nobody knows how to say this, so instead they say "Black Lives Matter."

You state some truths, but your take on the whole is bullshit.
The average black feels empowered by what has been going on for the past three weeks or so. You are probably too far into Conceptland to notice what’s going on in the real world. What’s going on? A transfer of power from whites to blacks.
Left anti-whiteism is anti-white first and foremost. Why? Because removing whites from positions of cultural, moral, academic, and financial authority and replacing them with non-whites is the goal. Whites are not allowed to speak up except in ways that promote left anti-whiteism and, thus, help non-whites.
All that is good will flow from the achievement of this goal. The top is to be free of whites and in the vacuum will come the non-whites.
Ask yourself, ID, what is the end goal of the BLM with respect to white people? What is the role of white people to be culturally, economically, and physically in BLM’s utopia?
Do you really think that the many many white liberals who support BLM actually want to be removed from positions of cultural, moral, academic, and financial authority? I don't buy it. And don't tell me it's self-hatred. Liberals do not suffer from self-hatred.
It seems more likely that it's an attempt to enforce ideological conformity, with race being a minor issue (but a useful stick with which to beat heretics). This is not primarily about race. It's about power, for the elites it's about divide-and-conquer, for liberals in general it's about enforcing conforming to liberal positions on immigration, race, feminism and most of all the LGBT agenda.

Since blacks are disproportionately represented among the have-nots they are likely to be even more resentful. They can easily be manipulated into thinking that the reason they're have-nots is not because the system is crooked but because of racism.
Resentment is universal. Women who wanted rich handsome Alpha husbands but got ordinary men instead are resentful. They don't consider the possibility that it's their expectations that are at fault. So they can be manipulated by feminists into resenting men.
Men who can't get girlfriends resent women. They don't consider the possibility that the reason they can't get girlfriends is that they're socially inept soy boy porn addicts. So they can be manipulated by the manosphere into resenting women.
When you have gross inequalities you get dangerous resentments. The rational solution is to reduce inequalities but the Right won't accept that.
What we're seeing is not anti-whiteism but resentment about inequalities.
People rarely act against their own interests, because when it comes down to it people are naturally pretty selfish.

Since blacks are disproportionately represented among the have-nots they are likely to be even more resentful. They can easily be manipulated into thinking that the reason they’re have-nots is not because the system is crooked but because of racism.
Resentment is universal. Women who wanted rich handsome Alpha husbands but got ordinary men instead are resentful. They don’t consider the possibility that it’s their expectations that are at fault. So they can be manipulated by feminists into resenting men.
Men who can’t get girlfriends resent women. They don’t consider the possibility that the reason they can’t get girlfriends is that they’re socially inept soy boy porn addicts. So they can be manipulated by the manosphere into resenting women.
When you have gross inequalities you get dangerous resentments. The rational solution is to reduce inequalities but the Right won’t accept that.
What we’re seeing is not anti-whiteism but resentment about inequalities.
Do you really think that the many many white liberals who support BLM actually want to be removed from positions of cultural, moral, academic, and financial authority? I don't buy it. And don't tell me it's self-hatred. Liberals do not suffer from self-hatred.
It seems more likely that it's an attempt to enforce ideological conformity, with race being a minor issue (but a useful stick with which to beat heretics). This is not primarily about race. It's about power, for the elites it's about divide-and-conquer, for liberals in general it's about enforcing conforming to liberal positions on immigration, race, feminism and most of all the LGBT agenda.
White liberals do not have the slightest intention of doing anything against their own interests. White elites do not have the slightest intention of doing anything against their own interests. Blacks are just being used.Replies: @EmailAsID
First, short-term pleasure often overrides long-term interests. Look at the way people act. People drink too much and get cirrhosis, they screw too many different people and get STDs or lose their spouses, they eat too much and get fat, the play video games instead of studying for their university exams and fail, they surf the web at work and lose their jobs, AND they support political movements that make them helpless in the future.
Also, I never mentioned white liberals. What’s going on is a small minority of leftists has obtained a great deal of power and, supported by the elites (like you alluded to), they are enforcing ideological conformity on the cowed majority.
These leftists have a revolutionary outlook and that means they first destroy all that works well today and the old ways. They want to destroy “whiteness” and replace it with “color”. They want to remove whites from positions of authority and replace them with POCs. They have made anti-whiteism their selling point and their lodestar.
You are right about elites wanting power and using blacks. But don’t feel bad for the blacks. One can be both a tool and a tool-wielder. Unless, a backlash occurs pretty soon, blacks will move up many rungs on the ladder and benefit at the expense of whites. The ladder itself will soon start breaking down like in The Camp of the Saints, but no one is thinking about that right now.
What I don’t understand is why the elites feel it is necessary to have revolutionary change and why they don’t see that they will lose everything they have — that they will be replaced themselves. ID is probably right — they are stupid.
The belief that groups of white people want to remove themselves from power and that the elites want revolutionary change both seem to me to be the product of paranoia and hysteria preventing right-wingers from thinking things through clearly.Replies: @EmailAsID
Really? Have you seen some of the sows they've hired in a Starbucks to replace the first wave of Covid19 layoffs who are still busy working the $600.00 a week unemployment benefits bonus? Not that Starbucks was ever like a Hooters to start with, but a lot of these scab gals look like Waffle House rejects.
Anyway, you brought seedy sex up, so I figured it would be OK to toss in some of my seedy misogyny.Replies: @Nodwink
You still haven’t explained why white leftists or white liberals or white elites would want to remove themselves from positions of authority. It makes no sense whatsoever and I just don’t buy it.
Maybe because they don’t actually want revolutionary change. They simply want to keep the rest of us divided and demoralised to cement their own power. I don’t buy the idea that the elites want revolutionary change. Again, it just doesn’t make sense.

I never mentioned anything about white liberals, white leftists, or white elites.
But there are extreme white leftists that do want whites removed from positions of authority in general. They think in doing so they will still be part of the leadership of the new society that arises on its ashes.
The elites may not want revolutionary change, but they sure act like they do. By supporting leftism in any form, they are hurting their bottom lines. By supporting left anti-whiteism, white elites may be endangering their very lives.
Perhaps these elites are stupid and short-sighted. Their wish to avoid a bit of pain (e.g. bad PR) right now, will lead to a great deal of pain for them later on.
The white people do not want to remove themselves from power. They want to remove whites as a group from power. For themselves they may see a future with even more power.
There have been aristocrats in the past that have actively supported anti-aristocratic movements. Why?
There's one thing I can assure you of. They will not permit a single white homosexual or white transexual to be removed from a position of power. Because the real power in the Cultural Left is in the hands of the LGBT mob. They control BLM.

It’s as if everything about modern society is astroturfed.
Small wonder so many people want to see it all burn.
Those running the corporations are not pandering. They were educated at the same top-tier schools, by the same professors with Leftist bent, and selected by the same admissions committees, for maximal conformism to woke ideology.
They are not pretending, or playing a self-serving game. They are genuine party commissars, because that is what they were selected to be. They will sacrifice profit immediately, for wokeness, and this is only rational. Profit is just money. Wokeness is power.Replies: @216, @Audacious Epigone
But surely there are a few rogues out there who care more about money than power, aren’t there? Where are they?
So you’re saying that they want whites removed from power, but they want power to be in the hands of white people like themselves? Which is what I was saying. It’s all about ideology, not race. It’s about ensuring that positions of power are occupied by people who are politically reliable, regardless of race.

Money and power are the same thing. Money brings power and power brings money. Power is the sexy part. But essentially they’re the same thing.

Leftist blacks use Leftism as a tool in order to reduce the role of whites. Leftist whites want to reduce the role of whites in order to more easily spread Leftism.
May these political factions destroy one another!
