You lost me at “statist”. A term almost as vacuous as “woke”.

It's more accurate than calling every authoritarian mindset "communist". What term would you prefer for someone who kneejerks towards top level government control?

I can help you with each, but I have only so many pearl minutes to throw to swine in a day.

I have noticed across the various social media platforms, the statist-left's latest tactic is to claim (ironically, perhaps, given its lack of belief in objective reality) that non-statist-leftists can't define well-established terms.

It's sad. Yet entertaining.

A statist immanentizes the eschaton, placing a positivisitic state at the ground of being.

Wokeism is but one sinew employed to accomplish the above. It is the cultic practice of making primary civic (psuedo-religious) virtues out of espousing and forcing on others sets of dogma designed to deconstruct the Judeo-Christian and classical liberal western thought and traditions upon which our civilization rests. Family. Individuals. Churches. And institutions that are based on and circumscribed by the written law.

That's just off the cuff on my phone.

eta: and importantly, it isn't just the dogma, but the enforcement mechanisms used to enforce and impose it. Cancellation. Lawfare. Criminalizing power of the family. Etc.
