Our enemies promote a new book:
https://www.amren.com/features/2024/10/the-third-awokening/Eric Kaufmann, author of Whiteshift and professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, has written a new book on “wokeness.”
Kaufmann (Jew) was previously covered here:

Prof. Kaufmann explains that unlike liberalism, which calls for equal treatment, “wokeness” demands equal outcomes.
We do not demand equal outcomes. When have we ever demanded more "white" NBA players?

We do, on the other hand, reduction in "white" NBA ownership. Preferably to 0%. Which is not equal either.
Since people are far from equal, they end up with very different lives. Wokeness finds this unjust and tries to correct it, often through illiberal means.
What we find unjust is not that they end up with non-identical lives, but that the evil are naturally rewarded for being evil:

The author thus distinguishes “cultural” socialism from economic socialism or communism.
This part is correct, at least. Now just link the former to Hitler and we will be in academic agreement.
Political beliefs are influenced by emotions, and Mr. Kaufmann explains that a bias towards minorities and against the majority has been the liberal norm since the 1960s.
...
The title, “the third awokening,” refers to three points in time when there have been dramatic increases in this type of thinking: one beginning in the mid-60s, another in the late 80s, and finally in 2013.
Thank you Counterculture for the first two! (Also, I would not mind taking some credit for the third.)
Mr. Kaufmann offers several reasons for his belief that unlike the McCarthy era, wokeness will not wane without government action.
First, the woke are not a student fringe, but have positions of power and the sympathy of the entire Left. Their demands are merely an extension of liberals’ long-established preference for minorities.
"Whites" were a minority in Apartheid South Africa. We did not have a preference for them, quite the contrary. Evil is evil irrespective of numbers. "Whites" behaved similarly in Apartheid South Africa as in Jim Crow US, even though they were the minority in the former and the majority in the latter.
We cannot match the madness of the woke, but we need passion to oppose them. White identity is inspiring in a way that appeals to fairness are not. The races are different, and our survival is supremely moral. Without race realism and white identity, we can expect wokeness to continue advancing at whites’ expense.
This is the behaviour I was referring to. It has not changed one bit. (But at least our enemies are now on the record admitting that identitarianism is indeed not about fairness.)
