How Woke works in plain language.
1. Awaken to "the truth"
2. Claim Victimhood Status
3. Argue your insight is infallible because of your "positionality" within the power hierarchy
4. Demand/coerce your way to illegitimate power
5. Destroy anyone in your way
6. Utopia
用白話文解釋「覺醒文化」如何運作：
覺醒「真相」
聲稱自己是受害者
因為你在權力階層中的「位置」，所以你的洞察力是無懈可擊的
要求或強迫獲得不當權力
摧毀阻礙你的人
烏托邦
1. Every woke movement begins with an "epiphany" that reveals how society really works. This truth is framed as hidden from the masses, accessible only to those who are enlightened or brave enough to see it.
Cult gurus lead their initiates to this "epiphany" over many interactions. Sometimes this process can take months, but because of the nature of the internet and social media, sometimes a new initiate can be turned in a few weeks, or even days.
The initiate is shocked to learn of this new community. "WOW - look at all of these people!"
每個「覺醒」運動都從一個「頓悟」開始，揭示社會的真實運作方式。這個真相被描述為大眾所不知道的，只有那些夠聰明或勇敢的人才能看到。
邪教領袖會通過多次互動，帶領新成員到達這個「頓悟」。有時這個過程可能需要數月，但因為網路和社交媒體的性質，有時新成員可以在幾週或幾天內被轉化。
新成員會對這個新社區感到震驚。「哇！看看這些人！」
The community uses trauma-bonding (a cycle of positive reinforcement and extreme criticism) to draw the initiate deep into the social and emotional realm where the magic happens.
The message is always clear: "I have information they have kept from you! You can trust me and you can't trust them. After all, they wanted to keep this hidden from you, but I won't because I care. Everyone else is a grifter, a con, or in on the scheming."
這個社區利用創傷結合（正向強化和極端批評的循環）將新成員深深拉入社會和情感領域，讓魔法發生。
訊息總是很明確：「我有他們隱瞞你的資訊！你可以信任我，不能信任他們。畢竟，他們想隱瞞這件事，但我不會，因為我關心你。其他人都是騙子、詐騙者或同謀。」
Initiates are introduced to the "forbidden" books, podcasts, and people that have been kept from them; introduced to the people who really understand how the world works and have an enlightened perception that pierces the veil.
Once initiated, the new member learns they are a victim. They learn society is structured by systemic, oppressive power that is keeping them down and out. There is an oppressor, and they are the oppressed.
新成員會被介紹給「禁書」、播客和那些被隱瞞他們的人物；被介紹給真正了解世界運作方式的人，以及能穿透面紗的啟蒙視角。
入會後，新成員會知道自己也是受害者。他們會了解社會結構是由系統性的壓迫權力所組成，這個權力壓制並排斥他們。有壓迫者，也有被壓迫者。
They learn there is an unjust power hierarchy that they can now see. There is a group that is keeping them from realizing who they really are; a group keeping them trapped in an unfair, unjust, and oppressive game.
As a victim, they have an infallible insight into the really workings of the world. They can "see" the world as it really is because they live the lives of the oppressed.
They can see the things normies can't see. Their "positionality" grants them special access to "the truth."
他們會了解有一個不公正的權力階層，現在他們可以看到。有一個團體在阻止他們意識自己的真實身份；一個團體將他們困在一個不公平、不公正和壓迫的遊戲中。
作為受害者，他們對世界的真實運作有無懈可擊的洞察力。他們可以「看到」世界的真實面貌，因為他們過著被壓迫者的生活。
他們可以看到常人看不到的事物。他們的「位置」讓他們獲得「真相」的特殊通道。
The game now becomes one of recruiting more people into the cult and making demands.
Once armed with "truth" and victimhood, the group begins demanding concessions—power, influence, or "systemic" change. This is framed not as ambition, but as justice!
遊戲現在變成招募更多人加入邪教並提出要求。
擁有「真相」和受害者身份後，這個團體開始要求讓步——權力、影響力或「系統性」改變。這不是被描述為野心，而是正義！
Resistance to their demands is framed as proof of systemic oppression.
Resistance is always framed as trying to maintain the status-quo, either as someone who is in on the con or as someone who just can't see "the truth" yet.Anyone who opposes the movement, even mildly, is labeled a class traitor, oppressor, or collaborator. They must be silenced, canceled, or crushed to pave the way for real "progress."
Internal dissent is also eliminated. Woke movements often eat their own, purging insufficiently committed members to maintain ideological purity.
對他們要求的抵抗被描述為系統性壓迫的證據。
（任何對他們的）抵抗總是被描述為試圖維持現狀，要不就是參與騙局的人，要不就是還不能看到「真相」的人。
任何反對運動的人，即使是輕微的反對，都會被貼上階級叛徒、壓迫者或合作者的標籤。他們必須被噤聲、抵制或粉碎，為真正的「進步」鋪路。
內部異議也被消除。覺醒運動經常自相殘殺，清除不夠堅定的成員以維持意識形態的純潔。
The endgame is always the promise of a utopia: a society remade in the image of the movement’s ideals. This vision justifies every extreme demand and every destructive act along the way.
This will look familiar for anyone who has paid any sort of attention to the Woke Left over the years.
But it's also instantly recognizable as the framework for the Woke Right.
最終目標總是承諾一個烏托邦：一個按照運動理想重塑的社會。這個願景為一路上的每個極端要求和破壞性行為提供了正當理由。
對多年來關注過「覺醒左派」的人來說，這應該不會陌生。
但這也立即可被識別為「覺醒右派」的框架。
They are two sides of the same coin because they both trace back to Idealism and all of its attendant gnostic and hermetic elements.
Both are antithetical to Individual Liberty because both are totalizing collectivist programs that think they are "the riddle of History solved."Woke isn't dead. It's alive, well, and thriving on the Left, and it's a growing concern on the Right.
Neither iteration has anything to do with American Liberty, and we ignore this at our peril.
它們是同一枚硬幣的兩面，因為它們都源自理想主義及其所有相關的靈知派和它們是同一枚硬幣的兩面，因為它們都源自理想主義及其所有相關的知性主義和神秘主義元素。
兩者都與個人自由相反，因為兩者都是全面的集體主義計劃，認為自己是「歷史的謎題已解」。
「覺醒文化」並未死亡。它在左派中活著、良好且興旺，並在右派中成為一個日益嚴重的問題。
這兩種形式都與美國人自由無關，我們忽視這點是危險的。
