When I grew up, “being woke” used to be called “being a decent human being.”
MAGA Nazis are waging a propaganda war against empathy and basic human decency, to normalize being a selfish, hateful asshole.
Help! Liberal brainwashing in school made me woke!!
Just kidding. That video clip is from Stanley Kubrick’s classic 1971 science fiction movie A Clockwork Orange.
It’s about a future where ultra-violent youth gangs think cruelty is cool. They torture, rape, and murder people for shits and giggles.
Watch the movie, and tell me those psychotic toxic males don’t remind you of today’s hateful, violence-glorifying MAGA incels.
In the clip above, one of these deranged psychos is being treated by doctors, to turn him from a bloodthirsty monster into a normal human being with a basic sense of human decency.
They brainwash him, by showing him the consequences of his actions. They force him to see what he did, and to feel empathy for his victims.
He learns a valuable life lesson: Violence is bad! Empathy is good.
The movie is a bit like a South Park episode, where different topics are blended together in an unexpected, satirical way, to make you think.
Fascism, and the way it dehumanizes and brainwashes normal people to turn them into bloodthirsty monsters, plays a central role.
Anyway, there’s another movie I wanna tell you about:
I was a kid when the movie Gandhi with Ben Kingsley came out in 1982.
At my school in Germany, where I grew up, it was mandatory for every class to go see it in the theater.
To teach us a valuable life lesson: Violence is bad! Empathy is good.
Boooring!
A three-hour history epic about some far away place that preteen me couldn’t care less about. India?! Meh.
About a little skinny dude who goes on hunger strikes. Oh yeah! Sounds great! Kill me now.
But the movie was actually pretty good.
At some point halfway through the movie, something dawned on me:
“Wait… wait a minute. Wait. The brown people are the good guys in this movie? And the white guys are the bad guys? What? Am I getting this right?”
That was the moment in my life when I realized, that up to this point, in every movie I had ever seen so far, the white guy was always the hero, and brown guys were always the bad guys.
The movie Gandhi in 1982 was literally the first time in my life that I saw the roles reversed.
That opened my eyes to a lot of things.
The way we see the world is shaped, or tainted, by what our trusted sources tell us about the world. And for a lot of people, movies and TV are a trusted source.
A lot of red state MAGA yokels are still on the wrong side of that Gandhi moment.
For them, that moment of clarity hasn’t happened yet.
They haven’t figured out yet that sometimes the brown guys are the good guys, and the white guys are the bad guys. Because that’s not something their trusted TV has ever told them.
But they’ve never even noticed it.
And when they’re suddenly confronted with “woke” movies where a woman or a brown guy plays the hero, they’re repulsed by it. It’s some crazy upside down world to them. Does not compute.
Remember how they freaked out about an all-female Ghostbusters?
And how mad they were about a female main character in Star Wars?
And the meltdown they had over a black mermaid?
And they lost their fucking minds when a trans person appeared in a Budweiser beer ad.
That’s why they want to go back to the time before the civil rights era in the 1960s.
Before women and black people and gay people got human rights, and before red state MAGA yokels were suddenly forced to treat them as equals.
When they say “make America great again,” MAGA Nazis mean they want to turn the clock back to before the 1960s. The good old days to them was when women and black people didn’t have equal rights, and it was still ok to rape your wife, and hit her if she stepped out of line.
To the racist MAGA Nazi cult, America was great when it was still ok to use the N word when addressing black people. And when gay people were sent to prison.
In the 1950s, racism out in public was still perfectly ok. In fact, it was illegal to not be racist.
In the 1950s, before women were allowed to have bank accounts, interracial marriage was still illegal. People went to prison for marrying someone of a different race.
Then, during the civil rights movement, the racist anti-interracial-marriage-laws from the slavery days were called unconstitutional, and interracial marriage was finally legal in red states too.
That was in the 1960s, “when America turned to shit,” according to MAGA Nazis.
Here, watch these short video clips of MAGA Nazis explaining in their own words, what “Make America Great Again” means to them.
Watching the 4 videos below might be your eye-opening Gandhi moment. They might change your understanding of what’s happening in America right now.
“The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.”
Christofascist MAGA Nazis want to ban women from voting, because most women vote for Democrats:
Christofascist MAGA Nazis want to exterminate gay and trans people:
Christofascist MAGA Nazis want to ban and deport all immigrants:
Christofascist MAGA Nazis want to destroy democracy and install Trump as dictator:
Tell me these videos don’t remind you of A Clockwork Orange?!
The MAGA Nazis in these videos are like a real life version of the brutal psychopaths in A Clockwork Orange. Scary shit!
It’s like we’re living in the fascist future that old science fiction movie warned us about!
That is some of the scariest stuff I’ve ever seen! These people are lunatics! I was brought up Catholic, educated to love and care for others, regardless of religion, nationality or sexual preference. They also taught me critical thinking so that I can understand the difference between truth and lies, between right and wrong, between good and evil. I can draw logical conclusions based on facts and data. So I guess I’ve been woke my entire life! Some of these maga freaks are just doing it for the money, which is disgraceful, but the larger population are lemmings who lack the ability to think for themselves. Those are the people that need that Ghandi moment and I hope, I pray it comes for them!
They don’t like us divergents…
