Why Do So Many White
Women Hate Themselves? By Morabito, 7/9/20, Federalist.
Amid societal unrest, woke white women are proving to be a
brainwashed force to be reckoned with.
Some might find it odd
that so many seemingly middle-class, young, white women are taking up street theater with a vengeance. We’ve seen the woke
white woman
spitting harangues into the faces of police officers, including black officers, trying to lecture and shame them into obedience.
We saw
many of them acting up in the “autonomous zone” of CHAZ or CHOP in Seattle,
condescendingly guarding a
“blacks only” area. We’ve also seen these women physically attacking those they
deem the enemy, including a Democrat state legislator in
Wisconsin. A 29-year-old white woman was arrested for setting fire to
the Wendy’s restaurant in Atlanta after the police altercation and shooting
there last month. Another was filmed setting fire to
police cars. The list goes on.
Some
observers see all of this as a contradiction. Since the “woke white woman”
tends to be college-educated, many think she must be smart. Since she comes
from a middle- or even upper-class suburban background, people assume she must
be emotionally stable. Because she is socially aware, she must be interested in
trying to understand people as individual human beings. How is it that such a
woman can so easily become an arsonist, a terrorist, a mobster, and a taunter
of black police officers?
She
shows none of the positive traits expected of her. Her commitment to identity
politics demands she reject people as unique human beings. Since she insists
racism is “systemic,” she is forever guilty and therefore cannot be emotionally
stable. In her obedience to the coercive thought reform of the education
establishment, she has surrendered the right to think independently.
Other
observers don’t see contradictions, but a catty and spoiled girl whose main
pursuit is the collection of status points — of which the latest method is to
pose as an ally of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement. She could be the
one giving you the finger as she cuts you off in her Mercedes, and her natural
habitat is the public middle school where she is forever stuck scanning the
landscape for winners and losers
The woke white woman
seems to come from the ranks of both the conflicted and the narcissistic. Even
a woman without these problems, however, can be seduced into the wokeness cult mindset.
The
Product of a Cult Initiation
What
caused the woke white woman to break onto the scene? For the sake of
illustration, let’s revisit an extreme case of initiation, the case of Patty Hearst.
Aside from being a newspaper heiress, Hearst was an average 19-year-old college
undergrad looking forward to marrying her boyfriend. Within a couple months,
however, she took part in a bank
robbery while wielding an assault rifle. What happened in the
interim?
Hearst
was kidnapped by terrorists of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) in February
1974. They isolated her in a closet and put her through Maoist-style
indoctrination sessions, schooling her in “white privilege” and “systemic
racism” even though those terms were not yet in wide circulation. They
explained to her that “Amerikkka” was a racist and evil society. Day after day,
they called her a privileged “bourgeoise bitch” and her father a “pig of the
corporate fascist state.” She duly memorized the propaganda they assigned her,
and though she was harassed and even raped, she was also fed and sheltered.
Isolation
and predatory alienation were
key to Hearst’s transformation. Separated from any familiar influences, she
became totally dependent on her captors and bonded with them. Once cemented,
that Stockholm Syndrome bond
is not easily broken. When Hearst agreed to join the SLA after six weeks in
captivity, she emerged with the new identity “Tania” and publicly disavowed her
family.
After
most of the active SLA members were killed weeks later in a shootout with police, Hearst had countless
opportunities to simply walk away. Instead, she remained a fugitive with a
small SLA remnant for the next 16 months. She later said her
brainwashing was so thorough that she had no free will, no sense of self, and
couldn’t think her own thoughts.
The
Art of Grooming the Woke White Woman
Granted,
the typical woke white woman today is not Patty Hearst. But we ought to ask
about similar forms of persuasion that are common in the constant propaganda
that grooms her in K-12 and higher education, and from media and celebrities.
After years of constant messaging — particularly with the vilification of the
enemy “other” — certain psychological patterns and scripts are bound to sink
in.
We should
be able to discern several parallels between the indoctrination of Hearst and
today’s woke white woman. For example, although not literally locked in a
closet, the woke white woman is exposed to various types of diversity training
and white privilege workshops. Similar gaslighting and guilt-mongering are
common elements of struggle sessions, and
themes such as “racist!” and “America is evil!” are common. Stark accusations
against self and homeland are psychologically manipulative and destabilizing to
one’s sense of identity.
Hearst’s
experience included memorization and other indoctrination exercises typical of
Chinese brainwashing of
American prisoners during the Korean War. The “White Fragility” craze
constantly imposes such exercises in academia, the media, and pop culture. The
woke white woman even experiences a similar sense of isolation because
exploring any different viewpoint could get her shunned and smeared. As with
Hearst, the woke white woman is more likely to disown any
friends and family who don’t get with the program.
Finally,
she becomes a deployable agent for the cause, willing to engage in
out-of-character activities once she crosses the Rubicon and joins up with the
Marxist Black Lives Matter cult.
She
cannot seem to find any outlets that allow any alternative view. Big Tech and
media propaganda constantly threaten her with social isolation and guilt by
association if she dares go off script. Cultural trash such as Teen Vogue tells
her exactly what she must say, think, and do to qualify as an “ally,” her only
hope for social acceptance.
She
must endlessly address “systemic racism” and identify as socialist to be woke.
Her emotional to-do list seems as endless and exhausting as the to-do list for
the residents of Jonestown.
Creatures
of the Zeitgeist
The
woke white woman is a chameleon when facing the threat of social rejection.
This sensitivity, as well as her newfound social consciousness, positions her
as an effective influencer. Out she goes to engage in mayhem and commit emotional blackmail on
behalf of the wokeness cult.
There’s
nothing new about emotional blackmail, but there is something new in how it is
being used so
blatantly to force people to support the Marxist Black Lives Matter chaos. Many
are cutting off friends and family if they don’t agree that racism is systemic
(and therefore unsolvable). The woke daughter of a candidate for office in
Michigan recently tweeted,
“[D]o not vote for my dad,” and collected many “you go, girl” status points in
response.
As
such women sniff the wind for signs of wokeness, they compromise all principles
of objective morality. Not too long ago, these same women may well have
shuddered at the prospect of injecting their children with puberty blockers,
but now that transgenderism is de rigueur in K-12 and pop culture, these same
women will pat themselves on the back as they march their kids into gender
clinics and surgeries.
The
problem with following the zeitgeist winds is that they can blow in horrific
directions.
The psychological mechanism that
drives the woke white woman of 2020 into Black Lives Matter obedience is the
same mechanism that would have driven her into the National Socialist Women’s
League of Nazi Germany in 1941. It might sound weird, but both appeal to the
same forces: craving for status, the need for belonging, obedience to
overwhelming propaganda, hatred of a common perceived enemy, terror of being
lumped in with the “unfit,” fear of shunning by the in-group, and rejection of
objective morality.
A
final critical question is an unsettling one: Where does the woke white woman
draw the line? If she can be an arsonist, a provocateur of black police
officers, and an easy fit for a mob, then what else would she do? Would she be
a kindred spirit with Charles Dickens’ character Madame Defarge and
support mass executions of her perceived enemies? If executions turn out to be
the woke thing, widely propagandized as the only solution for systemic racism,
should we be the least bit surprised if she were?
Many
more of us must challenge the menace of this psychological weaponry embedded in
today’s turmoil. If we don’t, the agitprop machine of Big Tech, the education
system, and the media will continue to manufacture these manipulations in an
endless feedback loop, with ever more catastrophic consequences.
