Ending the postmodern woke crime against humanity

Postmodernism has it roots in an obscure philosophy that posits there is no such things as objective truth, proclaims that everything is subjective and relative and therefore everything is permissible, as long as you don't break the law. As such, there can be no shared meaning, no universal moral code of behaviour and certainly no common vision.

This philosophy sees human society as the constant struggle for power driven by opposing worldviews and sees the world as a rigid dichotomy of the oppressed and the oppressors.

This strange philosophy has given rise to identity politics and a mindset of victimhood and oppression, resulting in the disintegration of the social bonds that have underpinned human societies since the earliest of times, driven by debilitating culture wars.

Alarmingly, these culture wars are triggering real shooting wars that threaten to escalate into a global nuclear conflagration ending all hope for humanity.

Those who recognize the poison of postmodernism find it difficult to confront or challenge for the simple reason that postmodernism is almost impossible to define.

Postmodernism can't be challenged on rational grounds because it proclaims the death of reason. And it can't be challenged on historical evidence because it rejects all history as a form of oppression. It has no leaders, no spokespeople, no central organization no clear statement of beliefs.

Postmodernism is an empty philosophy based on virtue signaling and personal attacks on people who dare oppose its childish and nonsensical dictates, yet it is everywhere.

The late Professor Stanley Rosen most aptly described postmodernism as the “enlightenment gone mad.”

Today, we are learning that postmodernism is not just an obscure philosophy it is, in fact, a crime against humanity.

POSTMODERN CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

Postmodernism proclaims the death of grand narratives, teaches that objective truth does not exist, proclaims that everything is relative and subjective and therefore permissible and the spiritual food of the ages of “do as you ought” is being replaced by “do as you will” with the only moral imperative being don't get caught!

In the process, it has undermined the socialization process of positive behaviour that has underpinned human societies and civilizations since the earliest of times.

This socialization process is often couched in religious terms, explored in myths, simple stories and allegories that not only explain the process in ways beyond mere words, but also facilitate the successful transmission of the core principles from one generation to the next.

Ideas like heaven and hell, sin and virtue, morality and ethics, stories of heroism and sacrifice are all employed with the goal of buttressing the socialization process that builds just and fair societies.

The Australian indigenous community knows only too well that relying on the law does not work and the broader community is learning the same lesson as court rooms are clogged, jails are over-filled and recidivist crime is on the rise.

Violence against women is, quite rightly, a soul-crushingly sad topic. The suffering of millions of women can be attributed directly to the colonization of humanity by the postmodernist woke.

How?

Instead of creating a society of socially mature adults, the postmodern woke are unwittingly creating a society of adults with the social maturity of toddlers. These adult toddlers are wreaking havoc in all areas of society. They don't listen, they don't care, they don't understand and, when in positions of power and influence, wreak havoc, chaos and misery far and wide, even globally.

The ideas of postmodernism are at the core of the growing pessimism as hope in the future fades and uncertainty, fear and despair grows. What is increasingly emerging is a form of nihilism that lashes out in violence against the self through addiction, self-harm and suicide and against others through abuse, terror and war.

This is nothing less than a crime against humanity.

THE FAILURE OF POLITICS

Instead of recognizing and dealing with the cause, politicians of all flavours are either ramming through an endless stream of legislation in trying to address the symptoms, or throwing good money after bad just to be seen to be doing something.

Worse still, the postmodern woke in positions of power are attacking and undermining the very institutions that have historically been (and still are, although greatly weakened) the engine rooms of the socialization process – the places of worship.

The goal of these postmodernists is nothing less than to empty the churches, the synagogues, the mosques and other places of worship. In particular, they are targeting faith-based schools because they view them as obstacles to the establishment of their postmodern utopia.

This is a forlon hope that is inevitably failing for the simple reason that trying to improve human behaviour through legislation and regulation only results in the concentration of power and the rise of Big Brother government.

History shows, over and over, that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” This leads to the breakdown of trust requiring increasing levels of force to maintain civil society until tyranny emerges and darkness descends.

This is where the unwitting supporters of postmodernism have led us.

We've been here before led by the same blind idealism. In Germany they were called the Brown Shirts, in Russia they were the Pioneers, in China they were the Red Guards, in Cambodia they were the Khmer Rouge and in the modern world they call themselves the Woke.

The result is always the same. The death of millions and the suffering of millions more as societies collapse on mountains of bones.

It is time to end this madness, before it is too late, by adding an extra line to the modern-day mantra of postmodernism to create a new proposition:

Diversity is Our Strength
Equity & Inclusion is Our Power
->A Common Vision is Our Future

A simple acceptance of this revised proposition will hollow out the support for the postmodern woke by:

• Reintroducing the idea of moral living to a generation steeped in postmodern relativity.
• Restoring the socialization process based on traditional values as enshrined in our religions.
• Reaffirming democracy and the hard-won freedoms upon which it rests.
• Restoring hope in the future.

This will force the postmodern woke to face up to the lies, contradictions and emptiness of their philosophy by contrasting it with a vision of the future that casts aside its gloom, pessimism and nihilism. This is critically important because humanity stands on the brink of the next major leap in progress driven by technology.

The Freedom Declaration for Peace, as a common vision, provides the basis for ensuring that this next leap better serves the common good, not just the interests of the few.

THE FREEDOM DECLARATION FOR PEACE

The Freedom Declaration for Peace is a complete renunciation and denunciation of postmodernism and its, often unwitting, woke proponents.

It achieves the worthy goals of diversity, equity and inclusion not through ill-thought-out legislation, empty dictates and virtue-signaling proclamations that divide society into the oppressed and the oppressors, but by uniting people around a common vision that declares unity of purpose and ignites hope in the future.

The declaration exposes the nonsense of the postmodernism in the concluding statement which affirms what we have always known but have neglected and even forgotten.

We are not just vehicles for profit-making. We don’t always act rationally in our own self-interest. In fact, it is when we forsake our self-interest that we become truly human, through self-mastery become truly free and through freedom become truly happy and at peace within ourselves, with our neighbors and with the eternal and the unchanging.

Just like the American Declaration of Independence defined a new nation and forged the American identity, the Freedom Declaration for Peace defines a new post-industrial society for a new generation of global citizens.

As such, it signals an end to the madness of postmodernism, the demise of national exceptionalism and religious extremism, while heralding the rise of global citizens united by a common vision and guided by a new awareness and understanding of the meaning of freedom.

It represents the next phase of human progress that started with primitivism and superstition, enlightened through modernism, darkened through postmodernism almost to the point of extinction by generation woke, and re-awakened through a common vision that builds on the solid foundations of the past.

Importantly, it represents a new era of peace.

This is the era of the shalom, salaam and the ohm shanti becoming more than hopeful greetings but a new reality, championed by a new generation of peacemakers affirming what we have always known but have neglected and forgotten.

As such it reaffirms the vital role of religion in society as the institution tasked with protecting and promoting the idea of moral living as the pathway to peace within ourselves, our neighbors and with the eternal and unchanging.

PROJECT COMMON VISION

Help end the postmodern colonization of humanity by joining PByT and declaring your support for the The Freedom Declaration for Peace, as well as providing feedback on the issues listed on our front page.

Help establish the new anti-woke proposition by including the 1 logo on your website, your social media account and in all your communications.

The 1 logo provides a shield against the woke attacks on institutions through the well-meaning but ultimately naive and socially corrosive ideas like Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).

These simple actions will be create small ripples initially, but will gradually grow and build into a tidal wave of change that will sweep away the detritus of the Industrial Age and usher in a new Information Age economy and society that better serves the common good.

And it can begin with cleaning out democracy.

HELP CLEAN OUT DEMOCRACY

It is time to clean out democracy by voting out the woke politicians who are not just betraying civil society but are unwitting participants in nothing less than a crime against humanity.

How do we recognise these woke politicians? They are the ones who do not support the Freedom Declaration for Peace either in principle or through their actions.
