This historically illiterate thread:
If I understand his two theses:
One – a Woke army is stronger because its fundamentalist ideology is more resistant to enemy propaganda and therefore less likely to switch sides. Woke is mentally tougher than based or anything else.
Two – wrong men are irrelevant because war will become technology-driven instead of manpower-driven, to the point where boots on the ground are obsolete.
I’ve heard this before. Remember that Richard Jordan Gatling wanted to develop a weapon so destructive that no one would want to fight a war ever again. The same thing was said about the first automatic weapons prior to WWI.
Airplanes, submarines, helicopters, ballistic missiles, stealth every new level of technology hasn’t been able to erase the fact that the more war changes the more war stays the same, i.e., rough men killing other rough men. A handful of drones in a field or patrolling the air is not going to hold a country.
To the first point, psy-ops in war isn’t all that effective. The number of soldiers we had defected to the Nazis was one, I believe. We didn’t have Americans jumping over the Berlin wall to join the Soviets. We’re not likely to have middle Americans who sign up out of patriotic duty jump over to the CCP. The kids more likely to defect are the ones motivated by selfish values like identity than selfles values like patriotism and duty.
Secondly, Woke is the worst possibly fundamentalist ideology to base a side around. Woke spend as much time canceling each other as they do outsiders. There is no cohesion. A Woke army will fail for exactly the same reason that the Afghani army fails. When soldiers refuse to take orders because command is of a different race or gender or sex, and units fight among themselves over identity, they can’t fight a unified front.
Just wait until some new trans Lieutenant refuses to obey the order of a “cis-het” Colonel because the Colonel is an oppressor who doesn’t recognize the Liuetenatn’s lived experiences. This is what kids are doing to their professors on campus, now we’re going to commission those kids into the military.
But, according to this guy, that’s okay because Woke Lt is not going to get swayed by CCO psy-ops, and as long as Woke Lt can hack a CCP drone, who cares if Woke Lt can even do a pushup from zir desk chair.
