"Woke isn't a thing" and Other Lies
Ignoring woke ideology is dangerous. Let's talk about what it means.
Let’s get what ‘woke’ is out of the way. Once a term used in black communities to describe someone more aware and understanding of racial injustice, these days through colloquialism online the term has become slang for anything promoting progressive ideology or radical leftist messaging.
It’s not hard to understand what I was just able to explain in a few sentences, yet a leftist online will put you through a gauntlet of “Woke isn’t real”, “You said woke which means your opinion doesn’t count”, “If a girl is in the movie that’s woke to you!” and so on. A leftist always plays games of deception to avoid discussing the topic at hand so that nothing ever gets solved. They essentially run cover for their agenda by pretending its not there or making up rules like anyone saying woke shouldn’t have their opinions heard.
What frustrates me even more than a leftist performance artists are the people saying its not a big deal and reflective of a changing culture and maybe these stories and heroes aren’t meant for us anymore. You people can go straight to Hell. You’re helping to bring in the most authoritarian, intolerant, power hungry ideology of degradation into our comics and culture and looking the other way while it erodes what the comics greats spent decades building.
Woke art is preachy, propaganda ridden, inhuman messaging of division as it demands full compliance and zero questions, it is itself intolerant of everything that is not it. It removes the values of good storytelling and replaces them with messaging they hope will rewrite our culture into their little activist culture that votes the way they need us to vote. They aren’t just rewriting our heroes, they are rewriting us. That’s what woke is people.
And if you don’t think it’s being enforced in a way that’s legit scary think again. ESG’s or Environmental Social Governance investing incentives have been highjacked to pay out to big corps who promote woke at every level from hiring to content to going green. Here’s an explanation that nails it.
What’s happening with comics with wokeness is a problem and an interesting cross section by which to view our greater culture in America right now. What we’ve found is that activists who think they’re saving the world against racism and global warming have hijacked our arts to use as their pulpit. The hope is that it catches on with kids (it hasn’t) and changes the culture into good compliant voters. But our arts are only the tip of the iceberg.
They’ve taken over our media, our schools, every institution we used to trust has lied for them, covered up laptops, attacked their political opponents for them. And the saddest thing? They don’t know that they’re only helping elite maniacs control our lives harder so they can lower carbon emissions. That’s all this is about at the end of the day for the elites. Zhey vant to lower ze carbon, ja! They’ve fed us poison to turn Dems from Americans into shrieking activist doomsday cultist covid creatures who’ve ruined our lives in their quest to control us. Now no one trusts our elections, our news, our colleges, our military, our health professionals. They ruined all that to install their guy over the guy people actually wanted, and they called it ‘democracy’.
That’s why people boo the blackwashing of Ariel in The Little Mermaid - not because of racism, and definitely not because “mermaids can’t be black”, something no one said, but because of wokism taking another cultural icon and making it theirs. Wokeness appropriates your culture and replaces its own so cool things with mass appeal put out the messaging. People are fed up watching what they grew up loving becoming another dancing representation zombie for an agenda that hates them.
We need to stop pretending this isn’t a big deal. It’s this intense need to push what the elites are calling a “Liberal World Order” that’s put us on the brink of WW3 currently. Now is wokism just a phase to you?
WOKE is an agenda, a strict ideology, and a control mechanism. It’s a culture of intolerance that feasts on the death and mutilation of American culture to sustain itself. It is by definition a GHOUL. A ghoulish ideology indeed, that advocates only for whatever destabilizes the world and cares not for the damage it does as it’s all part of the road to paradise for these hypnotized agents, these tools of the elites.
So when you hear the term uses loosely, don’t worry. That’s just someone misusing it, which isn’t that big a deal. The people you should watch out for are the ones saying woke isn’t real or that things have “always been woke”. It’s a lie brought to you by the people covering for the people who have us about to nuke the world because they will do anything to control it. Remember when you couldn’t be at the side of your dying relatives for the “greater good”? They actually did that to people to perpetuate a lie. They kept us from getting the meds that would have ended covid so they could hold us in place for an election.
Your race, your sexuality, your gender — these are the emotional spokes by which they control you and get your vote while having your worst interests at heart.
These people have ruined our arts but then again, other artists like myself have responded and it’s grown into a new movement that many call The Iron Age of comics. I enjoy the moniker and would love to be at the tip of that iron spear as it were, but we have a long road ahead if there’s any road left at by the time we purge these people from leadership. They sold out our arts, culture, values, and democracy to elite scumbags over carbon emissions. Their time is up.
I have a lot going on in the world of comics! I’m making many books at once and loving it! Here are some updates:
G.A.S is the story of KIT WELDER, a Shielder from Shield Kingdom, setting out with Gun Witch Tilda Mums and fallen Axer Flint Nevar to save the 3 kingdoms after they are taken over by powerful gunslinging villains. It’s also the start of a card game I want to make!
Now that I see these first draft characters which are coming out great, I’m starting to realize the logo could use updating. We need a better one that is worthy of such great characters and the epic tale ahead!
So been drawing my own comic and… found someone to color it! Still a work in progress so be gentle but I also kinda don’t give a f as I’m having so much fun making my story my way and enjoying the hell out of it. Here are the first 3 pages.
Still figuring out the overall look for the book but I think this is promising. More edits on these pages to come no doubt to make them even better but it looks like you guys may be getting a new book from me sooner than later cause Im drawing my own now.
Thanks for reading and checking out my works in progress. See you next time, fiends!
Your fiend in comics,
