=== False Positives and Woke Culture (01:43) ===

[00:00:02]  There's been a lot of controversy recently over an upcoming video game, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, questioning whether or not the game has gone woke.
[00:00:15]  And while it's impossible to say for sure until the game comes out, I think this is a false positive that a lot of people are getting.
[00:00:24]  And I don't think it's the first false positive.
[00:00:27]  The problem with the word woke is that it's not about a checklist.
[00:00:32]  Having a black character or a gay character doesn't make something necessarily woke.
[00:00:40]  For example, advocating against domestic violence is not woke.
[00:00:46]  Saying that all men are rapists is.
[00:00:51]  Defending gay rights isn't woke, but encouraging children to pursue risky sexual practices is.
[00:01:02]  Fighting against bigotry isn't woke, but saying that all white men are racist, well, that is.
[00:01:10]  You see, woke, woke is a Gnostic millennialist materialist cult that seeks to tear everything down.
[00:01:22]  And so to expand upon that definition, materialist, they don't view any supernatural entities, any higher levels of existence.
[00:01:32]  There's just meat and material and power that you can wield over it.
[00:01:38]  There's no God above judging us or expecting us to live a particular way.
[00:01:43]  So everything's permissible.
