A quick point on the Cultural Marxist/Woke framing debate I see on my feed tonight.

One of the reasons I think the Irish resistance has been effective is that the left-wing activists have been denied the ability to inhabit a radical frame. Every piece of commentary I have seen shackles them to NGOs and ''The Elite'' and corporations. This is where they belong, they must be framed and described as foot soldiers of power and not as radicals or revolutionaries.

There's an issue when terminology is used to describe these goons which gives them airs and graces that they do not deserve and will happily nest in. The modern left who're currently calling normal Irish people racists want to inhabit the frame of the dissident, not the regime goon-squad.

Calling them ''Marxists'' rather than ''Shitlibs'' allows them a revolutionary space they don't warrant and which simply isn't true. The term ''Globohomo'' is a good one because it conjures images of a repulsive gay Empire that destroys everything of value, which is also true, and the modern leftist is the orc of that system, not some free-thinking radical.

Make them own what they are.
