The Real Purpose of ‘Cancel Culture’ | News Talk WBAP-AM – WBAP News/Talk

A culture is far deeper than politics. Its a national identity encompassing history, education, arts and entertainment, science, health, relationships everything constituting the core values of any country.

Individualism has traditionally been the common denominator anchoring all other aspects of Americas cultural distinctiveness. Valuing sovereignty of the individual makes American culture exceptional; therefore, Cancel Culture warrants attention.

It is understood that cancelling individuals, books, monuments, etc. is a form of banishment because they express something objectionable or offensive. Objectionable or offensive to whom follows, but lets now focus on the culture part. In essence, cancelling someone or something means erasing behavior or beliefs which really means erasing ideas.

Remember Barack Obamas 2008 Obama-Biden-ticket presidential campaign statement, We are five days away from fundamentally transforming [basically changing] the United States of America.

Now, President Bidens continuation of transforming America also includes cancelling ideas. So: America is basically changing into what, and whos doing the transforming and cancelling?

What seems to be a re-imagination of an idyllic Utopia, and the transforming-cancelling is effectuated by the socially agitated and politically aggressive Woke. *

Utopia has meant different idyllic places for different purposes. Sir Thomas Moore first coined the term (as a pun) by taking the Greek ou-topos no place and combining it with eu-topos a good place. So, ironically, Utopia means that in reality a good place is nowhere.

Marx sold communism as a workers Utopia. Hitler sold fascism as Aryan Utopia. Todays power-players are selling socialism as nondiscriminatory, non-merit-oriented, equity-for-all Utopia.

Of course, we know from the Bibles Garden of Eden story that even Adam and Eves idyllic Utopia vanished once their real human nature (free will) was activated by exercising choice (eating the apple) and gaining knowledge (carnal sex and the existential world).

Communism, fascism, and socialism differ in name only. In practice they are identical because they all are collectivist social systems powered by an elite who control the economy, the means of production, and the cultural zeitgeist.

But since outright communism (Russia) and fascism (Germany) failed, the largest socialist organization in the United States the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has to be more inventive in selling their brand of collectivism. The organization is a member of Socialists International which reveals global aspirations, but its name cleverly obscures the presently active but hidden agenda for America.

From the DSAs official website (operative words in bold):

We [Democratic Socialists] are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.

Translation: voters put us in power (democratic), but we share a vision to control globalized planning, execution of production, and distribution of goods; we define meaningful; we decide what is healthy and sustainable; we demand preferences for those we decide need equality (we define equality); and we decide who is oppressing whom.

Who now pavesthe way and keeps the socialists in power? The Woke and the implementation of cancelling Americas culture of individualism. Woke activists find or create what can be sold to an ignorant/apathetic/indoctrinated public as racial-social discrimination or injustices while encouraging certain fabricated-into-group-members to become victims and assuring that others of different fabricated-into-group-members are made to feel guilty about the victimization.

Cancelling activists are silencing opposition to the Wokes claims. To facilitate cancelling, Political Correctness is employed to make the task easier by forbidding incorrect freespeech, thus preventing as many independent thinkers as possible from actually saying anything objectionable or offensive on threat of cancelation.

Self-muzzling individuals who swallow the poison pill of Political Correctness (coated with sweet promises of Utopia to cover the venom) make the cancellers job even easier. There has never been nor will there ever be a dictatorship that does not crush dissent one way or another.

Ergo: The real purpose of Cancel Culture is to obliterate the fundamental values of advanced civilization liberty, individualism, and reason. Because of Americas prominence, to accomplish that global goal this countrys entire culture of individualism must be destroyed first, meaning everything from language to eating habits.

Collectivist elites are writing new scripts to old playbooks, directing the current show, and working their prestidigitation behind a curtain that now encircles the globe to surround what has become theater-in-the-round. Here are a few of them:

The first two are the biggest stars in the Democratic Socialist galaxy. Barack Obama A Saul-Alinsky-community-activist-political-heir. His publically acknowledged mentor? Frank Marshall Davis, a card carrying communist. Bernie Sanders I dont mind people calling me a communist.

Joe Bidena self inflated-lecturing-opportunistic front for functional elites like Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. Harris (Americas next president!) is daughter of a Marxist professor, talks the collectivist talk Medicare for all and raised bail for looting rioters.

Buttigieg? An active socialist since a teenager. His Marxist-scholar father? A devotee of Antonio Gramsci who wrote, Karl Marx is for us a master of spiritual and moral life He is the stimulator of mental laziness, the arouser of good energies which slumber and which must wake up for the good fight.** Hows that for Woke?

The true-targeted-non-fabricated victims of all this? American culture and the sovereignty of each individual who inherited it from thinkers who understood human flourishing to be served by individual exercise of free will, rational personal choices, and factual knowledge in this here-on-earth real world instead of an existing-nowhere utopian world peddled by wannabe tyrants.

Americans needing to wake up are not the Woke. They are. . .Who? Look around, near as well as far.

* Must-read companion books: George Orwells 1984 is a brilliant (and chilling) fictional tale of the future endgame for tyrants everywhere. Evan Sayets The Woke Supremacy is a brilliant (and chilling) examination of Americas current real-life fast-step march to reach the endgame of tyranny here and now.
