Westering Sun in Aporia: Woke as Managerial Ideology

Excerpts. Missing any analysis of the ethnic aspects of the “hostile managerial regime and its dependent [non-white] clients and  promoted by what “Samuel Huntington described [as] a “concentrated and sustained onslaught” by intellectuals and publicists led to multiculturalism.”

[…] the system is structured around exploiting the core [white] population for the benefit of a hostile managerial regime and its dependent [non-white] clients.

[…] Though largely unforeseen — and never legitimized by democratic mandate — demographic transformation was swiftly rationalized and sanctified through the ideology of multiculturalism. This was presented as a natural extension of the liberal-rational belief that social life should be governed by neutral principles, procedural justice and abstract equality. In truth, multiculturalism represented the culmination of a worldview that had long pathologized in-group preference and delegitimized ancestral identity. By suppressing traditional language rooted in attachment, loyalty and exclusion, liberal rationalism had already disarmed the West’s native populations in the face of a doctrine that presented demographic upheaval as a form of moral progress.

In the 1990s, multiculturalism became entrenched as the dominant ideological framework across the West. Samuel Huntington described how a “concentrated and sustained onslaught” by intellectuals and publicists led to multiculturalism being formally adopted by the Clinton administration, which made “the encouragement of diversity one of its major goals.” Meanwhile in Britain, Tony Blair’s Labour government oversaw a dramatic expansion of immigration, inaugurating an era of demographic transformation. Other Western nations soon followed.

Advocates of multiculturalism presented it as neutral, benevolent and inclusive. Yet from a Machiavellian or realist perspective, it was anything but neutral. In instrumental terms, it sanctified unassimilated minorities, immigrants, and mixed-race individuals by implicitly identifying them as the future of Western nations. The empowerment of these groups — socially, politically and institutionally — was justified at the expense of native majorities.

While formerly marginal groups benefited materially and otherwise from multiculturalism, they were not its architects. Nor did they possess the political or institutional leverage to establish it as a new paradigm for Western civilization. The task of authoring, enforcing and entrenching multiculturalism as state dogma fell to another group entirely: the managerial regime. […]

[If managers, non-whites and collaborators] are abstracted from the social equation, what remains of Western societies largely amounts to the shrinking mass of the traditional population. This “core” or “host” population then emerges as the universal object of exploitation across the West. Predominantly native, often middle or working class, and still retaining residual loyalties to older forms of nationhood, faith and organic order, this group’s economic productivity funds the regime and supports its clients. Its demographic inertia is invoked to justify mass migration, while its defensive political instincts are pathologized as reactionary or extremist. It bears the brunt of taxation, undergoes cultural and demographic displacement, and faces escalating surveillance and censorship. […]

Multiculturalism remained the dominant ideology of Western societies until the mid-2010s. Around 2016, however, something changed, and a more militant successor emerged: the phenomenon now known as “woke”.

[…] In retrospect, 2016 was an inflection point in Western history. Years of growing frustration over mass immigration, cultural dispossession, and the erosion of national identity culminated in two seismic events: the Brexit vote in the UK, and the election of Donald Trump in the US. These embodied the first major mass resistance from native Western populations against globalism, demographic transformation, and cultural subordination.

These events triggered existential anxiety for the managerial regime and its clients. It became clear that the core population still possessed substantial numbers and latent political power; that democratic processes might enable their resurgence; and that the ideological high ground needed immediate fortification. Managerial elites therefore pivoted to woke ideology as a reactionary move, launching a moral crusade designed to embed their ideological regime as a permanent revolution. Their aim was pre-emptive suppression of native resurgence—crushing dissent from the only quarter capable of challenging their ascendancy.

[BLM and other regime-approved identity movements] neutralized the radical potential of credentialed but increasingly desperate white Millennials—precisely those who might otherwise have spearheaded populist resistance. Woke offered them belonging within an elite-coded moral universe and easy access to social status through virtue signalling, activism and ritual denunciation of working-class whites (now stigmatized as racist, backward, and dangerous). Psychologically rewarding, socially prestigious, and intellectually undemanding, woke was the perfect counterfeit for genuine rebellion.
