Why the right is afraid of "woke": There are truths it can't face

Conservatives didn't want to hear about white privilege. So they abandoned reality and joined the orange man's cult

www.salon.com

So many things in our society can be understood by thinking back to high school. Think of nearly any Hollywood film about suburban teenagers, in which the good-looking spoiled brats of the country-club set get their comeuppance in the third act after reveling in all sorts of bad behavior. These days, roughly a third of the country seems to be rooting for the obvious villains in a new version of that story, now unfolding in our troubled democracy. It could be called "White Men Whining III: The Retribution," but honestly we've already been gifted the best possible title: "Florida: Where Woke Goes to Die."

Joking aside, the privileges afforded by stereotypical or conventional "good looks" are undeniable. Like all other forms of privilege, they provide people with entrée, a form of soft power that can corrupt one's thinking pretty quickly. Handsome boys and beautiful girls often age into vapid adults as a result of this privilege; they never had to put any effort into being accepted. (Read W.B. Yeats' "A Prayer for My Daughter." He knew all about this.) White men may not be able to jump — according to stereotype, of course — but they are well positioned to fail their way up corporate and political ladders, often all the way to the top for the ones who are tall and blandly handsome and sport Ivy League degrees.

Not even five minutes ago would I think I'd ever say something like this, but damn, this Salon writer is unironically based.

Fair enough, guess I praised the dude unnecessarily much there, but still nice to see this with the gaslighting one often encounters when talking about the topic.

This is a subhuman cope, good looks and high IQ often both come together. Attractive people are also more likely to be in leadership positions or even just be the leaders of their friend groups. It’s average looking people who are the biggest NPCs, since us sub5s at least tend to become disillusioned with soyciety thanks to social isolation
