For over a year, we’ve been trying to figure out why we keep seeing bad black line tattoos on the arms of so many socialists we see in trainings. It’s not to say that everyone with bad black line tattoos is a socialists…but a lot of socialists have bad black line tattoos.Finally, we have an answer.In this podcast, I’ll read this article and discuss: https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/article/58022/1/why-ignorant-style-tattoos-are-an-act-of-queer-defianceSpecial thanks to long-time community member Nick Incognito for finding this gem for us.Support my work at karlyn.substack.com This is a public episode.

In this episode, I discuss three things you need to know about the pro-Palestine protests, and the ways in which the conservative narrative regarding the left is wrong.* It’s not about antisemitism. Intifada means worldwide socialist revolution.* The encampments didn’t just pop up out of nowhere. These groups have been organizing together for months, specifically on October 7th, and for years before that.* It’s not a bad thing if the protestors are not all students - that will actually support greater protests off of college campuses.This is from a piece of literature handed out at the University of Michigan encampment:Learn more and support my work at karlyn.substack.com This is a public episode.

Many people are wrongly calling the protests at student protest Columbia University and beyond "antisemitism." It has nothing to do with people being Jewish. In fact, there are Jewish students involved in the protests. What you're seeing is not an antisemitic uprising. It's a Marxist uprising against the oppressive force of the capitalist colonizers.

A little less than two years ago at this time, I was working my book Actively Unwoke: The Ultimate Guide for Fighting Back Against the Woke Insanity In Your Life. In chapter 4 of my book, I have a list of 11 Rules for the Actively Unwoke. It’s a play on Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals. And the very first rule I write about is the most important: Know Your Values. If you don’t know what you’re fighting for then it is inevitable that you will exist in a perpetual state of fighting AGAINST a political tribe rather than fighting TO CREATE a better world.Here is the accompanying Substack article that articulates my values that I mentioned in the podcast: https://karlyn.substack.com/p/rule-1-for-the-actively-unwoke-know This is a public episode.

In many school districts, anywhere from 30% to 60% of kids are identifying as trans, non-binary, gender queer, or gender non-confirming. Schools are putting policies in place to instruct staff to not tell you if your children are socially transitioning their gender. This is real, and it's happening all over the country. In this episode, we discuss what you need to know to protect your children from the gender cult. Here is the Fox News article I discussed in the podcast: https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-mom-sues-school-district-allegedly-counseled-daughter-transition-gender Here is Gabrielle Clark's parenting workshop, affirming reality: http://unwoke.info/reality This is a public episode.

When you spend your days investigating the schools, it quickly becomes clear that some school administrators are implementing equity (Marxism) in the classroom because they are true believers, and some of them are doing it unknowingly because they think it's what they need to do to be a good person. It's important to know the difference between true believers and useful idiots (or, rather, useful innocents). This is a public episode.

Never forget that the woke left progressive ideology that has taken over every major institution in this country is grounded in Marxism. That means all they care about is power. When they say someone is white or use the term “whiteness”, it has nothing to do with the color of your skin. It has to do with who owns the power structure. This is a public episode.

The people you're trusting to fight back against the woke ideology are lying to you.

Every time I watch or read 1984, I take away more ways in which our current circumstances resemble this dystopian reality. Winston knew that hope rested with the proletariat.

In this crossover episode, I read an essay I wrote on my substack The Red Pill Diaries (redpilldiaries.substack.com) called “Their values are not your values. Their goals are not your goals.” One of the reasons the political right has not been effective at fighting back against the woke insanity is because they do not understand this fundamental truth - that the woke see the world completely differently than they do. And because of that, they have different objectives. You can't effectively fight them if you don't understand what they are motivated why and why they behave the way they do.
