  • Released April 1st, 2024! Have you noticed everything is woke now? You’ve got these so-called historians denigrating America’s glorious past simply because there’s some white supremacy in there. Get over it. Everywhere has a dark heritage, so why do I have to hear about it? I just can’t stand it. We used to be a nation of nuclear families, engaged in the righteous elimination of all those commies that pollute the darker parts of the world. Now men are afraid to fight each other in the street for the fear of namby pamby SJWs canceling them.
    And you know who’s to blame for that? It’s these scholars injecting identity politics into everything. If history is the story of us, as Cypher always says, then why do I have to hear about all these unamerican things like race, class, and gender? What happened to our heroes? Well, I’ll tell you. History is woke now. It has nothing to do with my unwillingness to interrogate what actually happened. That’s why I don’t need citations. Verifiability is for the weak. The wokesters are the real cowards for using Critical Race Theory to make me feel bad about being white. They try to push their betters away by enforcing diversity, equity, and inclusion on everyone.

When going through the 4 years it took to get my Bachelors Degree in History, I absolutely refused to believe that segregation was bad. In fact, even after getting thrown out of the classroom 20 times for "disrupting class session and rampant racism" I fought hard against this idea of segregation being bad. I even dropped out even though I only needed 1 more class to get my degree and joined the actual scholarly university known as PragerU and will soon have a degree from then in 6 years with no woke education at a cost of only $75K.

    While I know this video is completely satire, as an amateur historian of ancient Egyptian history, it’s extremely frustrating that in the last few years I’ve been harassed for being “woke” just because I made factual statements about Egyptian history and culture, such as the fact that ancient Egyptian men wore wigs and makeup, and that there were multiple female Kings of Egypt. I got called woke for accurately referring to Hatshepsut as a Thutmosid King instead of Queen, even though she was actually a King (although she first served as the great royal wife, aka queen, to Thutmose II before she crowned herself king after his death).

      It sounds like you understand what The Matrix is, and you seem to have picked the oddest detail to focus on. In The Matrix the red pill is a plot device, and has almost no meaning. The pill is symbolic, and doesn't actually exist.
      The red pill as a concept comes from somewhere else it is often referred to as the manosphere. I don't think I can explain it to you without getting my comment banned, but TL;DR it's not good.
      This was an April 1st video. MrMysteryman00 said a thing and I made a follow up joke. The red pill as a concept today is opposed to what it meant in the original movie.

    It was April Fools day, but I hope there's a planned end to publishing this video.
    I also wonder if an alternative history might make our points better. Specifically, what if the reasoning process used at founding was still used but the founding assumption that elected aristocrats should rule with love of virtue (virtue being determined by well reasoned arguments in open debate) was replaced by a broader selection of persons. Protections against non-equal treatment between aristocrats would be extended to all voters (as constituents of the ruling authority that the government works for) I know that your specialty is struggles that turn violent so maybe this alternative history would not have enough of that. But I am pretty sure that this history split off when Grant's political party became afraid of the people as a body in the southern states.
