In this video, Nick Freitas provides a detailed reaction and commentary on a video by his co-host, Christian Hines
how and why did we get to a point where we watch a video of someone sitting at a desk watching another video, drinking coffee, and talking about the video he is watching?

Maybe someone can do another hour reaction video of the reaction video of the commentary.

In a time of clarity, the “woke” ideas gained tremendous traction. People stopped caring who other people married, etc. Due to the evil forces at work now, division, hatred and daily outrage has taken a greater hold.


Tboy just wants everyone to get to marry who they want, and be able to have a parade through town to celebrate their culture.

How and why did Wokeism gain so much traction and support in such a short time.


IMO, this whole D.E.I. Wokeism movement can be traced back to one absolutely horrible day - January 22,1973. SCOTUS rules that a woman can kill her baby. That was the day life itself was cheapened and collectively as a nation WE told God to stay out of our bedrooms.

Why do I imply that WE collectively decided this? Simple, under the disguise of bipartisanship we saw the rise of the RINO Repubican. RINO Republicans with their contradictory view that - while I'm personally opposed to abortion, in the best interest of the country, I voted for legislation that was blantantly destructive to life and family. They even tried to rationalize their misguided bipartisanship under the title "Compasionate Conservatism".

Then there was the ruthless and profoundly destructive Lyndon Johnson "Great Society" legislation. The welfare policies of that legislation absolutely destroyed the traditional family, especially in the black community.

IMO, it's almost as if 'Wokeism and D.E.I.' is a misguided kneejerk reaction to the destruction of this critical notion of the "Dignity of the Human Person". Further pushing this notion that if we just throw more money at the problem and rigidly enforce affirmative action, racial injustice and inequality will simply fade away.

It was only when suddenly our passenger jetliners started falling out of the sky and fast tracked female military pilots on training missions started crashing helicopters into passenger jets that the social scientist acknowledged - hey, maybe this Woke D.E.I. thing isn't working out as we thought.

Then there is this horrible obsession that people have with changing their gender. Gave rise to this absurdity we call Transgenderism. No way this absurdity is good for this nation.

Yep, it all goes back to that terrible day - January 22, 1973. The day we kicked God out of our culture.

I'm on tip end of the silent generation. Like you I'm watching our great silent generation fade into history. And I'm trying to tell you what they warned us - you're headed in the wrong direction. Return to the God we worshipped and the nation we fought to defend. Otherwise you're doomed.

Fortunately, we have a President dedicated to doing that - bringing us back to the principles, traditions, and freedoms so many died to secure for us. In addition to fighting him every step of the way with their ridiculous lawfare absurdity, they sent four assassins to kill him. But fortunately, President Trump is as tuff as steel. Great leaders tend to be that way - tuff as steel.

Trump 2026 - he enraged the Woke D.E.I. crowd by insisting on the American excellence our Founding Fathers laid out for us.

They’re doing it wrong and will die extremely unhappy and empty.

Wokeism is attractive to losers because it gives them an imagined moral high ground and the ability to bully others in a safe way that's approved by corporations, social media, law enforcement, risk-averse peers, and even employers.

Covid was a highly concentrated version of wokeism. Most of the people who screamed the loudest about social distancing, closing businesses, and making everyone mask/get jabbed weren't doing it out of concern for public health, but because it made them feel powerful.

There's also the BlackRock/Larry Fink/DEI score element here as well, but that doesn't fully explain why it emotionally resonated with so many people.

Larping as a White Knight for a "righteous cause".

The civil rights era of the 60s never ended.
It evolved.

And now, we are at the point were a lot of the causes for victimhood are manufactured.
