Konstantin Kisin is a satirist, podcaster, author and political commentator and on his “Triggernometry” podcast, he and his co-host Francis Foster focus on these subjects, as well as the WOKE culture that has overtaken the Western world. At 40, Kisin is an early Millennial (or Xennial, as they are now being categorized). So, he has lived some life, had a taste of career success, and has a family. Some of the things that indicate that your views on how life and the economy works is not merely theoretical. Kisin also was born in Russia and emigrated to Europe, domiciling in Great Britain. So, he has not always benefited from living in the Western petri dishes where WOKENESS germinates and takes hold. Which is what makes him, and this debate speech he gave at The Oxford Union Society so compelling. The Oxford Union is a membership club that encourages debate among its members as well as celebrity, political, and guest speakers. Kisin was debating, Resolved: Has Woke Culture Gone Too Far? And Kisin’s epic counter response is the reason this video is getting so much play. Kisin started his treatise by expressing that he is tired of talking about WOKE culture and its targeted attacks to destroy freedom of speech, as well as its false flag operations to create “equity,” which is merely racism in a cheap jacket:
Kisin warned that we will destroy ourselves if we continue to allow this erosion of our culture and our confidence in Western values. Then Kisin turned his focus on Climate Change, directing his speech toward Millennials and Gen Z—at least the ones who he felt might be, “open to rational argument.” Although he knew he was speaking to young people who honor their feelings above any rational truth, Kisin made this fact-based point.
Kind of hard being concerned about the future of the planet, when your future only extends to your next meal. Kisin outlined the logical argument that a country like Great Britain, which makes up two percent of carbon being emitted into the ozone, working to mitigate its carbon footprint does not matter a hill of beans. The continents of China and South America are focused on not starving, staying warm, and staying alive—carbon footprint be damned.
Kisin even had the unmitigated gall to insist that there was only one solution to Climate Change.
Cue the soup can and Greta Thunberg outrage. Kisin’s closing argument on why WOKE has gone too far is one for the books.
One of the propaganda arms of the movement had this to say about “climate anxiety:”
When government inaction brings in so much money, and gives them tools to exact control over the population, why should they change? Kisin points this out, then rocks it Old School: nothing beats hard work, ingenuity, and seeking to build toward a better future.
Ahh, there’s the rub. Minds programmed to fixate on things that they cannot control, and forget the things that they can control and that truly matter. Building on the foundation already laid, rather than working to tear it down. The horrific statue unveiled in Boston this weekend, that is supposed to commemorate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King is an example of this. This WOKE generation seeks to tear down Confederate statues and homages to our Founding Fathers because of their offenses and the offenses of Western culture, while replace them with something that is even more offensive and fails to uplift the culture, let alone extend it. That is no better evidence on how WOKE culture has gone too far. Perhaps Kisin’s debate speech is a sign that we are finally seeing its coming end. |
