Wokeness: The Existential Threat to the Western Legal System
A System Built on Absolute Truth is Being Destroyed by Relativism
From my perspective, wokeness poses an existential threat to the legal system as we know it, and this is a lesson that must be learned before it's too late. The goal of cultural Marxists and leftists is to rip out the vestiges of Western culture, including the belief in a God-given birthright of freedom. This ideology is antithetical to the idea of individual freedom and seeks to establish a small elite that controls every aspect of society. This is a form of communist ideology that seeks to give all control to the state and leave the individual with none. This Marxist worldview, which works on the premise that everything is relative, is actively trying to tear Western society apart and make it untenable.
The Role of a Judge and the Importance of Fact
A judge's most basic function is to be a finder of fact. This means they must determine if a fact is true or not, a simple binary choice: it's either a "one" or a "zero," and there's no in-between. A fact is something that can be proven to be true through evidence, such as eyewitness testimony or documentation. Only with a proof of claim can something become a fact. This binary, objective approach is essential for a judge to make a decision and has been the foundation of the Western legal system for over 2,000 years. The legal system's foundation is the Western ideology of universal absolute truth.
The Danger of Moral Relativism
Marxist ideology, which is infiltrating the legal system, operates on the principle of moral relativism. Once you enter the realm of relativism, nothing is real; everything is whatever you say it is, and it can change at any moment. For example, a man can be a man in the morning and a woman in the afternoon. This lack of grounding in reality is the very point of relativism: to tear society apart and make it untenable. The Marxists are trying to destroy Western culture by making it miserable, then blaming the West for the problems they themselves caused. They want to discredit the long-standing Western understanding of absolute truth and the birthright of freedom.
The Katanji Brown Jackson Example
The appointment of Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson is a clear example of this Marxist infiltration. She was not chosen for her legal expertise but because she is a "woke left Marxist" who will say whatever she's told to. This was evident during her confirmation hearings when she was asked to define "what a woman is" and could not, claiming she was "not a biologist" as a deflection. The inability to define a woman is a profound issue because it attacks the very foundation of a judge's role, which is to be a finder of fact. If a judge cannot identify a basic biological fact, they have no right to determine any fact in a case. Biological sex, determined by chromosomes, is a binary fact—a "one" or a "zero" that cannot be changed by self-identification or physical alteration.
The Woke Invasion of Law Societies
Across the West, law societies are being hollowed out and replaced by Marxist activists who aim to destroy the legal system's credibility. These activists are pushing woke ideology, such as the promotion of gender pronouns, as a pure power play. The demand to use specific pronouns is a lie you're forced to say under threat of punishment, and compliance is a sign of submission. This is not about truth; it's a power move designed to punish those with less power. This is also seen in the way Marxists have co-opted the American Indian movement to push their agenda, using land claim pronouncements to force compliance and destroy Western culture. The goal is to replace objective truth with subjective truth, or whatever is convenient to destroy what was there before.
The Fall of the Judicial System
The Western judicial system is built on the premise of absolute truth, which is what has allowed it to last so long and be considered legitimate by the majority of people. When people believe in a system's foundation of truth and certainty, they can get behind it. However, as law societies and the woke Marxist ideology continue to destroy this foundation, the judicial system will become less relevant until it is no longer there. This is not just a philosophical debate; it's an active effort to dismantle the very institutions that uphold freedom and justice in the West. The erosion of objective truth and the embrace of relativism are leading to the collapse of the legal framework that has protected individual liberty for centuries.
