Just Like That Bluebird
So I stumbled on a tweet by one Auron MacIntyre that got the gears in my head turning. This isn't an original thought, there's other in the Dissident Right echoing such sentiments. In a nutshell, the brains behind Woke Media and "The Message" as Critical Drinker puts it, is at this point aware and eagerly awaiting the scathing criticism. They have the outline for response articles ready and waiting, itching for the slightest criticism if they don't outright engineer it. From here a sort of feedback loop forms, the Woke get more and more irrefutable proof that they share a country with deranged bigots who can't handle diverse casting, and the opposition wastes its energy on repeating the same tired slogans of "Get Woke, Go Broke, making 40 minute video essays that carry the same criticisms the last batch did, just pointed at a new captured IP.
Maybe this is just my own neurosis acting up, but this feels like doomscrolling. This feels like a bizarre version of "Consoom product, get excited for new product" only it's "Consoom outrage, get excited for new outrage." Everyone and their mother who's vaguely right of center knows the score, how many times must it be repeated? And to repeat myself a bit, is this playing into the Left's frame? It certainly feels like the loudest voices are in a holding pattern.
And all the while there's no shortage of money to burn on these projects. This isn't going anywhere.
