Five minutes of hate news

The incredibly limited to outright absent metaphysical claims in the unifying foundation, especially given that it has expressions in multiple formal religions using different metaphysical claims from eachother, make it difficult to call "Woke" a religion in itself instead of falling in the grey area of Confucianism, Buddhism, or the Zen philosophy.

There's definitely metaphysical implications to the claims, but there's not actually an overt "Why Trans Is Valid" standard. Some use dualism, some use neurological studies, some use postmodern things-mean-what-I-want, some use bodily autonomy, but there's no thrust to settle on one chain of reasoning to stand by anywhere in the "movement".

Which is why the struggle-sessions happen, because they don't have a cohesive set of "prophets" and "priests" laying out a stable doctrine, it's a swirling mass of "Not Tradition" that ended up with a vague directionality. This renders it distinct from a mystery cult because rather than a deliberate exclusivity of information (you can trivially trace pretty much all of it back to the 1920s Marxists if you try), it's merely disinterest from the "lay people" leaving the few that are interested in where the fuck any of this came from to end up with highly distinct understandings and behaviors.
You know, it's fascinating that you say this, after you've tried to blame Christianity 'enforcing ideological conformity' or something like that for the emergence of these modern woke zealots.

Their zealotry to remove everything "other" still comes from the concept of Orthodoxy that Christianity made the sole mode of thought in Europe. That colliding with the lack of standards on what "Right Thinking" means is what causes the self-destructive purity-spirals. Just as it did for Christianity pre-canon and in the Wars of Religion.

...Also see the witch hunts following the publication of the Malleus Maleficarum. Christianity has very much suffered from the lay people's cluelessness about the theological minutia spitting out bizarre tangents. The disorganized swirling morass of "Wokists" have a similar relationship to the Critical Theorists that those nutters had to contemporary clergy.
 
God this reads like how they complain about 'food deserts' after having robbed every store empty nearby.

Absolutely no sense of responsibility.

Again, there's a very good chance that the gas station is being used to sell drugs (hence the violence nearby it).
So, we have a guy arrested in Florida for saying Thomas Mathew Cook deserves a medal of honor among other things...

Now the scumbag is going to get a bunch of money from a lawsuit. Urgh.

Eh not in Florida, and incitement to violence is in fact an exception to the first amendment IIRC.
The first amendment does apply to Florida. And incitement to violence is a really really high bar to meet, a bar not made by anything that guy said in the article (as disgusting as it was). Incitement to violence must be imminent lawless action. That doesn't reach it, or even close to it (the imminent part is the issue: the advocacy needs to be likely to cause lawless action now). Maybe under the 'true threats' doctrine, but I don't think he said that he was going to do it.

Not to constitutional rights violation. He can hang on conspiracy against rights.
Sadly, no. They can't even be sued for known constitutional rights violations, like not handing over evidence, etc.


As long as he is acting like a lawyer, and not doing the investigation himself (i.e. effectively becoming a cop), he's completely immune.

Complete bullshit, tbc, but that's the system.

it depends on what he wrote and what else was going on. the Secret Service hasn't made too many arrests in the past that I remember. If it is just naughty words on the internet and them feeling like they need to be seen doing something to save their rep this will go nowhere. if there is more to it though? If things go to trial in Florida?

"I am advocating Trump and Vance's daughters get raped and THEN tell me they won't fly their kids out of the USA for an abortion," he wrote.

yeah he ain't going to get a lot of sympathy from a jury
