Why are so many woke leftists bad at understanding others? Brain science may have the answer.” Psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist argues that the left hemisphere of the brain is literal-minded and poor at “theory of mind” — the ability to truly grasp what someone else is thinking, especially when irony,...

Let me give everyone just a little common sense test. It may be that I retired from the United States Air Force, that the answer is crystal clear to me and maybe a bit more challenging for others. So the guy on the left is claiming to be the president of the United States of America. He claims his name is Joe Biden but we know Joe Biden is dead. He faced a military tribunal and was executed. So really do you really think that a president of the United States of America gets off a plane and gets into some random dudes vehicle? Only someone that doesn't know anything about the military would think such nonsense. Or are you someone that has a great deal of common Sense and critical thinking ability and can see this motorcade on the right and know that that's what a presidential motorcade looks like and that means the president is really in there. This so happened to be president Trump on his way to South Carolina rally. So is the real president on the left side or is the real president on the right side? This really should be a no-brainer but of course we know liberals absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt or no brainers they have no brains, they have no common sense, there are cognitive dissonance is all messed up, and they have zero critical thinking capabilities. By the way even former presidents don't have motorcades that look like that for anybody thinking that the excuse for it. So-called president gets in an Uber carrying his own luggage and people can't wake the hell up.

With The Fifth Column 🖐 talking about common knowledge: “Common knowledge can be generated at a stroke when something is witnessed in a forum where you can witness other people witnessing it. So if something just happens in public and you can see everyone else seeing it, that gives you an instant intuition that there’s common knowledge. Humor, I suggest in one of the chapters, is a common-knowledge generator, usually of some infirmity or indignity or weakness in someone or something. And the laughter, which is conspicuous—you can hear it when someone is laughing; it interrupts their speech and breathing—at the moment of laughter, suddenly becomes common knowledge. Everyone who gets the joke suddenly realizes that someone has been taken down, and they realize that everyone else realizes it. And that’s why freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are suppressed in autocracies. The joke from the Soviet era is about the man handing out leaflets in Red Square. Of course, the KGB arrest him, take him down to headquarters, only to discover that the leaflets are blank sheets of paper. They say, ‘What is the meaning of this?’ And he says, ‘What’s there to say? It’s so obvious.’ And the reason that it was subversive is that he was generating common knowledge. Just the mere fact of trying to make something public, even if you don’t have to stipulate what it is, can generate the coordination—everyone acting together to bring down a regime.”

Jerry Seinfeld on Woke Left Killing Comedy: 'This is the Result of the Extreme Left and PC Crap' "Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it, they need it so badly, and they don’t get it." "It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, ‘Cheers’ is on; oh, ‘M.A.S.H.’ is on; oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on; ‘All in the Family’ is on.’ You just expected, ‘There’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.’ Well, guess what? Where is it?" "This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people. When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups — ‘Here’s our thought about this joke’ — well, that’s the end of your comedy..." Whenever comedy dies in a culture, it becomes more vulnerable to extremist movements and social unrest. Woke authoritarians cannot stand that their absurd ideas are being exposed to ridicule and satire. They have been "educated" at elite schools, and therefore, their ideas "must" be the right ones. They simply don't understand why Normies think their ideas are ridiculous, and thus, they seek to censor criticism instead of listen to those they deem 'inferior.' But a society that cannot laugh at itself becomes closed to criticism. That is where the Woke intelligentsia is at in America today and that is why comedy — and the culture at large — is dying.

Jordan Peterson explained the Woke Right ("Alt Right") back in 2018. It's not new, but two things are. 1) It's making a concerted bid for power in mainstream conservative spaces now and significantly succeed after years of infiltration 2) We know what makes them "Alt" is Woke. There's an interesting additional point here that's very important. Peterson is talking about how the Left tried to label him "Alt Right" as a polarizing smear. The Woke Left could do that because it can draw a distinction between itself and the reaction it created so long as there's distinction in the names. They could make it seem like there was a sprawling Alt Right that's really evil and scary and only the Woke Left can resist it. Peterson was having to defy this at considerable effort, and much of the Left didn't buy it anyway. This is the dialectic. The term "Woke Right" throws a monkey wrench into this dialectical program and breaks the machine. The (Woke) Left can post up and do the dialectic against any name for it except "Woke Right." The reason is that the term "Woke Right" is derivative to Woke, so you cannot think of the Woke Right without also thinking of the Woke Left, which is the referent. What makes the Woke Right bad is being almost just like the Woke Left. "Woke," not Left or Right, becomes the problem, short-circuiting the dialectic and neutering the Left on this dimension of their united front tactics. It therefore puts the problem squarely where it belongs: on Woke. This frees people up to consider Left and Right (better: liberal and conservative) outside of the polarizing game of radical extremes. It was this factor that ultimately sold me completely on the term "Woke Right" not just as accurate and good but as genius. H/t (clip and argument) Entropyrian, who is a great follow.
