The ruling class is going to have to move away from Wokeness if it wants to maintain its grip on power. The problem is, Wakeness is not just some random ideology that the elites grabbed off a shelf. It contains key elements that allow for the expansion of their power while also offering a theological justification for their rule.

00:00:28.580 See AirCanada.com.
00:00:30.000 I've had a running debate with other political commentators
00:00:40.300 on whether we will see the ruling class back away from its focus on woke ideology.
00:00:45.720 The regime's insistence on relentlessly pushing transgenderist indoctrination 0.94
00:00:50.560 onto children has created an incredible amount of organic backlash.
00:00:54.600 Their encouragement of the BLM riots during a pandemic 1.00
00:00:58.160 has revealed the anarcho-tyranny of our system
00:01:00.960 and their focus on political loyalty over merit
00:01:04.220 has created a competency crisis in both the public and private sectors.
00:01:08.540 The hegemonic control over the popular narrative, which our rulers usually enjoy, is starting
00:01:14.240 to crack under pressure.
00:01:16.380 The smart move for the regime is pretty obvious,
00:01:18.840 put the woke away and pivot to some other justification for power that is less corrosive.
00:01:25.280 This would be excellent advice for a ruling class, but they can't heed it.
00:01:29.760 Wokeness is not just some random ideology that the elites grabbed off a shelf.
00:01:35.300 It contains key elements that allow for the expansion of their power while also offering a theological justification for their rule.
00:01:43.980 This radical offshoot of progressivism is both mechanically and spiritually necessary for the regime's continued existence.
00:01:54.320 Everywhere and always, power seeks to expand and centralize.
00:01:58.880 In its quest to secure more power, the state must ruthlessly eliminate all competitors,
00:02:05.300 just like any entity which desires to establish a monopoly.
00:02:08.680 Regional authorities and natural hierarchy represent innate barriers to the centralization of state power
00:02:16.140 which organically arise in society.
00:02:18.560 In order for the central state to achieve total control,
00:02:22.260 it must dismantle regional alternatives and collapse the emergent social structures
00:02:27.420 that naturally arise during the formation of human social organization.
00:02:32.840 Progressives seek absolute control so they can alter human nature
00:02:37.040 in a quest to bring about their warped utopian vision.
00:02:41.140 Community, church, and the family all stand in the way of the total state 0.79
00:02:45.980 that would be necessary for the left to achieve their goals.
00:02:50.040 Vladimir Putin called the U.S. dollar's drop in dominance
00:02:53.280 objective and irreversible during the recent BRICS summit in South Africa
00:02:58.140 as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa
00:03:01.880 formally agreed to use local currencies instead of the U.S. dollar.
00:03:05.960 It's the first shoe to fall.
00:03:07.940 As demand for the dollar weakens, the buying power of the dollar weakens,
00:03:11.280 and that's why Birch Gold Group is busier than ever.
00:03:14.140 Investors and savers are looking to harness the power of physical gold

00:03:55.360 The modern state operates on the managerial structures described by James Burnham
00:04:01.480 in his book, The Managerial Revolution.
00:04:04.740 Mass bureaucratic entities have become the default pattern of social organization
00:04:09.440 for all advanced civilizations,
00:04:12.120 reordering the way that humans interact with work,
00:04:14.920 government, media, commerce, and most importantly, each other.
00:04:19.680 Huge bureaucratic structures are the default
00:04:22.400 because they promise abundance and prosperity
00:04:25.000 through the miracle of efficiency produced by mass consumption and mass production.
00:04:30.420 The need for modern organizations to handle logistics of vast scale
00:04:34.320 requires them to reliably produce the same result over and over again,
00:04:39.160 like an assembly line manufacturing thousands of identical automobiles.
00:04:43.860 Managerialism is the science of operating large bureaucratic structures,
00:04:48.300 and the techniques that the modern managerial class employ
00:04:51.860 allow for the level of standardization required to predictably extract
00:04:56.000 the required efficiency from those organizations.
00:05:00.180 Universalization is critical for a managerial class
00:05:03.040 that wishes to continue increasing scale and efficiency.
00:05:07.620 In his book, Leviathan and its Enemies,
00:05:10.580 Samuel Francis updates and expands on the work of James Burnham
00:05:14.220 by looking at the mechanism through which modern bureaucratic organizations expand their power.
00:05:20.820 Francis explained that bureaucratic organizations demand uniformity
00:05:25.220 to generate their efficiency,
00:05:27.260 but that individual humans are anything but uniform.
00:05:31.000 Some people have religions that prevent them from working on Sunday.
00:05:35.040 Some communities value having large families over their ability to purchase consumer goods.
00:05:40.160 Some cultures have norms that would prevent them from allowing large numbers of immigrants
00:05:45.120 to enter the country and reduce the cost of labor.
00:05:48.620 These cultural and moral particulars serve as barriers to the uniform application of managerial techniques,
00:05:55.240 which means they naturally limit the amount of power our ruling class can secure. 0.98
00:06:00.700 Wokeness is an indispensable tool for our ruling managerial class 1.00
00:06:05.160 because it serves to homogenize all competing cultural and moral particulars
00:06:10.120 into one uniform system of hyper-progressivism.
00:06:14.620 The tenets of wokeness demand infinite deconstruction of the existing culture
00:06:19.500 and an eternal revolution where every aspect of identity is challenged and reconstructed.
00:06:26.120 The traditions, history, holidays, and symbols of a culture are demonized
00:06:31.500 so they can be dismantled and replaced with a new paradigm
00:06:34.940 that will not interrupt the efficiency of managerial structures.
00:06:39.780 The roles of parents, priests, community leaders, and all traditional authority figures
00:06:45.020 are questioned until they can be replaced by activists, educators, and social workers
00:06:50.060 loyal to the new order.
00:06:52.260 Organic centers of moral authority like the family or the church
00:06:56.300 which are undermined so the mass media can deliver a consistent stream
00:07:00.400 of ideological propaganda which will generate a uniform set
00:07:04.400 of social expectations and moral attitudes across the population.
00:07:09.780 Hedonistic and cosmopolitan norms strip away all remaining forms
00:07:14.420 of natural identity and moral taboo, creating the perfect, frictionless consumer,
00:07:20.040 a completely oblivious and malleable subject.
00:07:22.820 Wokeness is also useful because it inverts the natural hierarchy
00:07:28.480 creating a set of loyal foot soldiers who owe their social status entirely to the regime.
00:07:34.920 The incompetent, mentally unstable, socially maladjusted, and physically unhealthy 0.94
00:07:40.280 can claim power and status that they would never otherwise wield
00:07:44.020 if they swear unshakable loyalty to those that are holding the inverted pyramid aloft.
00:07:49.760 Anyone can rule their neighbor if they're willing to kiss the ring.
00:07:55.140 This means that wokeness infiltrates every institution, creating a patronage network 1.00
00:07:59.640 where loyal sycophants are granted high-status, make-work jobs
00:08:03.720 which pay well but require no real skill set outside the willingness
00:08:07.920 to spread the regime's propaganda and punish its enemies.
00:08:11.940 Ideas like trans ideology capture children young 1.00
00:08:15.560 and strip them of all inherent identity and social bonds
00:08:19.320 while making them medically dependent wards of the total state
00:08:22.900 and its managerial bureaucracies.
00:08:25.660 This coalition forms an ever-expanding voting bloc
00:08:29.360 who sees their very existence as entirely dependent
00:08:32.840 on the current progressive order.
00:08:34.800 The functionality of wokeness is not just mechanical in nature
00:08:39.860 because it serves a spiritual function as well.
00:08:43.340 All societies require a narrative about why their ruling class should be granted power,
00:08:48.740 a political formula that explains their position in society.
00:08:52.220 Wokeness provides a story where the evil demons of oppression
00:08:56.420 are defeated by the righteous agents of equity and social justice
00:09:00.640 but constant vigilance by the population is necessary
00:09:04.360 lest the sinister forces of oppression burst forth from their cage
00:09:08.440 and rule the land once more.
00:09:10.900 The price of this eternal vigilance just happens to be granting
00:09:14.520 increasingly totalitarian powers of social engineering
00:09:18.360 to the experts in the managerial ruling class.
00:09:21.340 A more competent set of elites would recognize
00:09:25.340 the destabilizing effects of woke doctrines
00:09:28.460 but our leaders are true believers.
00:09:31.600 They've drank deeply from their own propaganda
00:09:34.060 and genuinely believe that without the continuous application
00:09:37.560 of their totalitarian social engineering
00:09:40.360 society would collapse into the dark ages
00:09:43.020 and the mob would swallow them whole.
00:09:46.340 Ultimately, wokeness cannot be put away 1.00
00:09:48.660 because it's the operative narrative for global expansion.
00:09:52.660 Our managerial class seeks to extend their grasp
00:09:56.060 across the entire world
00:09:57.860 and to do so they must destroy competing cultural
00:10:01.060 and moral authorities that exist in other nations
00:10:04.260 just like they've done in America. 0.69
00:10:06.660 This is why Starbucks runs ads about transgenderism in India 1.00
00:10:10.720 and American celebrities complain about gay rights in Uganda.
00:10:15.720 Wokeness is the civilizational acid
00:10:18.020 that is meant to dissolve these diverse cultures 1.00
00:10:20.700 into one easily managed gray goo.
00:10:24.320 The ideological drive towards hedonism and deracination
00:10:28.020 is not an accident
00:10:29.260 but a critical aspect of a force
00:10:31.560 meant to destroy all previous cultural forms 0.96
00:10:34.300 and turn every individual on the planet
00:10:36.800 into the perfect, compliant subject.
00:10:40.260 Our ruling class will continue to accelerate the woke agenda 1.00
00:10:43.820 no matter what other problems it may spawn
00:10:46.200 because they've bought into it on a spiritual level
00:10:48.780 and because it serves their material ends
00:10:51.220 by providing a consistent vehicle
00:10:53.240 for advancing managerial power.
