A Strategy Against Woke | Thomas J. DiLorenzo

- Recorded in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 22, 2021.
The weekend revolves around a discussion of strategy. Nearly 25 years ago, Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe delivered his famous "What Must Be Done" speech on the pressing topic of how-and whether-to engage the state. Today his prescription for a bottom-up ideological revolution beginning at the local level rings more true than ever. With Hoppe's admonitions in mind, all of our speakers and panels will consider three vital questions: Where are we? How Bad is it? And what should we do now?
We need to fight woke, not just complaining about it
"Giving power and money to politicians is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenagers; and assuming they will do the right thing" -- PJ O'Rourke.
And like a teenager, you say "no" and they just stall out and become even more useless, often times.
Brilliant. And only four years after Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom”, George Orwell gave us the powerfully crystallized truth:
“Who controls the present controls the past…
Who controls the past controls the future.”
Take America BACK!
It is not the "villain", it is the "victim", who is to blame. It is "we" ourselves, who give our power away, "just say no".
There should be 100’s of thousands listening to this man.
Millions*
I’m convinced that it should be taught In primary and secondary schools. Make it mandatory.
Perhaps a few, with the voice, can do better than the masses, who only yell.
To MisesMedia,
Your video is titled: A Strategy Against Woke . I did NOT see or hear any strategy AT ALL.
Thomas exposed the lies of the historians/people with specialties and gave many examples. But there was no solution proposed at all.
So, it was a waste of time to watch this video. Unless you are planning to make a follow-up video (in continuation for this one) for his strategy.
I only clicked here to get some practical tools for fighting this woke problem, i already know there is a problem.
It’s soothing and refreshing to call things for all they are.
Here’s a strategy: Pull any government funding.
Guaranteed money only breeds laziness and apathy.
Theory and History is, in my opinion, Mises' greatest work. Everyone should read it 👍
And Robert Welch. Suppressed truth really sucks!
Thank you for sharing. I look forward to reading it. Have had difficulty reading Mises in comparison to Hayek. Mises is a bit more dry in my opinion, but still very informative with so much knowledge to process. Thanks again for the suggestion.
I love that book too!!
@@patrickfrise1204really? Hayek prose is so long winded. You can tell Mises was highly educated and trained 19th century scholar at the height of European society. I find Mises’s works methodical. His arguments as air tight as it gets. His prose like God himself is speaking lol.
Just ordered my copy…. Thanks for the tip.
7:17 Oh what a terrible idea. We would have missed having this lawful and productive people who have kept our inner cities beautiful.
Deja Vu! I came across a thin book in a friend's library (newly printed, so he hadn't had it long). Reading it, was astonishing because it described what has now come to pass-----The Author's Name was Hayek. Thank you, Prof. DiLorenzo, for bringing those words from the past into the minds of today.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. Lord Acton
Except for our republic's founders.
@@nalejbank I hope that's sarcasm. They were "Great Men" too, i.e., cronies propped up by the propagandists as wise and heroic.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely....and when you have such a system men with the mentality of gangsters inevitably gain control. History has proven that." - Lord Acton
@@mikebastiatthey were wise. This country still functions
@@sillymesilly You're sleeping. Babylon is falling.
Read Human Action and Socialism by Mises, and this quote stood out to me because I realized it's very common; "Marx and Ingles never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, devoted, slandered, and traduced them, and in their use of these methods, their followers are no less expert". Mises in Socialism
"The economist cannot be a favorite of the autocrats and the demagogues because the more they realize that his objections are well founded, the more they hate him" Mises in Human Action
Every sentence this man writes is profound!!
*Engels....
If you're being 'all scholarly' at least spell correctly the name of one of the two big original bogeymen
While hating and refusing marxism, I appreciated Engels's book on the condition of the working class in England (1845), that was spot-on and mostly based on direct observations.
This entire video was a tangent… hilarious
But also great
tom is right on everything. love him
This was a really good 👍
Lil bit of misus
Lil bit of rothbard
Thomas Jefferson, there is a man to respect and emulate! Same with Doc Paul. My main dudes!
Mine is Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul.
@@realdealz39Most definitely cannot go wrong there! God bless you brother!
Such a great presentation!
Sorry but how would a better education in economics be a strategy against woke? That part I don't get it.
Helpful and awesome. Thank you
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. All great men are bad men. Thank you Lord Acton, and thank you Dr. Thomas Di Lorenzo, an unsung hero in my opinion.
I mean, it was a good talk, but had nothing to do with strategy.
Or "woke". The entire title is wrong lol.
@@Gorboduc "Jeff Deist asked me to talk about a strategy against woke, so I'm gonna talk about my books on Lincoln and Hamilton."
@@andrewbrasuell8589 LOL. I honestly thought we'd get to see a libertarian talk about something other than economics. Clearly I was a fool.
Hopefully some normie Sargon type whose biggest redpill is _feminism bad_ clicks on it and gets redpilled.
Good man.
The video’s title has almost nothing to do with the video.
Yeah, kept waiting for the strategy.
This is the best example of going off on a tangent
Still good information.
A strategy against woke: try bashing Lincoln and Hamilton, see if that works.
Why would you bash one of the greatest Presidents & a Republican?
@@unvaccinatedamerican8648 read Dilorenzos the real Lincoln. Honest Abe was actually a deceiving dirtbag
@@Cam_1776 or just watch this video, lol
@@Cam_1776 he freed the slaves. You can read or watch whatever you want but that does make it accurate…
@@unvaccinatedamerican8648 Abe Lincoln: “If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.” Explain to me why 2/3rds of both houses of Congress and with the support of Lincoln passed a constitutional amendment that would preserve slavery in the south, forbidding any federal action from taking place on the matter before the south seceded. Explain to me why Lysander Spooner the author of the unconstitutionality of slavery written in 1845 and a staunch abolitionist despised Lincoln and his administration… oh wait you can’t cause you haven’t read the book.
"The American Dream was an agreement after WWII, we'll give you a home and a white fence in exchange for you looking the other way."
7:12 freudian truth-slip “put all the money in charge of politicians”
I thought he was just being ironic.
Thank you!!
Apparently misTitled but good nonetheless!
my Dad taught me I can fall in love with a rich woman just as easily as a poor woman. He just never told me where those rich (single) women live & roam.
The goal of a man is to make his success and fortune, not to find a rich wife.
I notice some sentences have been muted out ...
Gosh! Talking bad about Abe in USA must be a capital crime! Sounds like talking bad about Piłsudski in Poland.
In overall it basically confirms what I've been thinking about the US Civil War since always - putting aside which side was more morally right and who owned more slaves, it was a war for/against a federal power grab, not for/against slavery.
You are among a few that know that lol they’ve destroyed our generations minds over the past 40 years
Wise man!
Hayek was prescient. the Road to Serfdom is still very worth reading.
Hank Ford said, “history is mostly bunk “
8:06 when did the US involvement in Liberia start?
@10:45 a key word to your point was sound-edited out. What’s the missing word that got deleted here so that I can more-fully understand the context?
Great video but where is the strategy?
10.45 - "... was the (?) America..."
10.55 - " ... philosophy of the (?) i want to say..."
👍
Life sucks and it only gets worse
This video is mistitled. Content was interesting, but had nothing to do with the title.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Although I enjoyed listen to Thomas, I'm not sure I heard a strategy against Woke, which I was hoping to hear.
lol 🤔🤣
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Terrifs protect productive capacities. How many people in North America know how to make sneakers?
1000s
I love "all great men, are bad men"
The way to fight woke us to call out the people who run the media who don't like Jesus.
They start with a J and end with you :)
The beginning joke lol.
What's wrong with black deportation from the United States?
Tom Woods is small.
Woke isn't all bad. It's got men into women's bathrooms and Lockerooms.
😂😂
Me thinks thou dost not consider very highly the esteem’s of Abe Lincoln.
Hmm.. how to defeat authoritarian zealots
The video title is 100% false !!! 👎
Some of you commenters do not understand the definition of "woke" and therefore miss the point
you mean statists. or possibly the marxists.
Brainwashed by George Harrison
Misleading title. It's just another venue for DiLorenzo to attack Lincoln. He sure seems infatuated with the Old South.
Lincoln was absolutely corrupt. He is the prototype for today's scum bag politician. The man was very intelligent, shrewd, but unfortunately used those skills on behalf of evil and lies, rather than truth and decency. Like it or lump it, Lincoln is not who you believe him to be, nor his motivations. Try harder and look deeper.
@@jasonleveck8546 Exactly where did I say I'm a big admirer of Lincoln?
Bs artist
I think the term "woke" is being overused and misused often to just dismiss ideologies that maybe should have further examination. There is a lack of real justice so people get social justice instead. BLM exists because police brutality exists and some are racist too so society should recognize policing problems. Metoo exists because there are many sexual predators and their victims are ignored so society should recognize that too. What else is "woke" the LGBTQ people well gay pride parades have gone on in America for fifty years so why now is it a problem for people to just not go? Free country free speech but not for "woke" causes? Sounds fascist.
If we are forced at gunpoint to fund public institutions and even turn our children over to them, we have a legitimate say in what they are paid to promote, particularly to minors. That is not an assault on free speech.
Fascism is a left wing, big government system in which a tyrannical state colludes with a selected number of big businesses and controlled institutions to rob and oppress all others, determining even what shall be accepted as fact. The modern Democrat party, which owns and is owned by tech, academia, and media, is fascist. Trying to jail and bankrupt political opponents using invented law, the malicious and capricious use of law, jailing of peaceful protestors, gross corruption, disarming citizens while increasing politicians' security, using language to warp rather than describe reality, and contemptuously dismissing the concerns of the people, is all classic totalitarian behavior.
Having official victim groups in order to look virtuous is another standard trait. If the country is being robbed and destroyed, who cares, as long as the homos/trans/illegals are happy. Breeders should just shut up and obey.
In nice lefty Canada the government is pushing a bill that would allow life imprisonment for speech, and arrests of people who might, based on others' assumptions, someday say something unapproved, like criticizing islamic terrorism or pedophilia. Pre-crime.
You won't like where this all goes. You won't be exempt.
What a joke. 👎👎👎
