(Warning: Strong languages and rants ahead)
During these last couple of weeks, I've questioning my own personal opinions and stances to various political and social issues, and to be honest, I'm hanging on for dear life when it comes to this debacle. And then I realize that no matter which side are you on, whether you are a staunch conservative or a liberal one, or if you are in somewhere in the middle, there is always rotten apples in either side. In the conservative side of the spectrum, there's religious fanatism, racial superiority, and suppression of free speech. On the liberal side, there's anarchism, cancel culture, and overall paradox.
And then something popped out in my head. For the last couple of days, I've researched a lot about woke culture. The term "woke" itself refers to someone who is aware of racial prejudice and discrimination. That’s a good cause, but you know, there are always those guys who claimed to be "The most tolerable and understanding people ever walked the face of the Earth" but, are some of the biggest pieces of shit imaginable. They claimed to be "inclusive” but would go to a great length to harass everyone who even have the audacity to voice even the slightest different opinions than them. This alone honesty grinds my gears. Then I have this thing to think about: Can we link these behaviors with the philosophy of the Seven Deadly Sins? To be honest, I always been a sucker when it comes to ancient legends, and the Seven Deadly Sins is coincidentally one of them, aside for the Red String of Fate story.
For those of you who don't know what the legend speaks about, it basically speaks about classification of vices within the Christian teachings, and it consists of Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, and Pride. The opposite of this is the Seven Heavenly Virtues (Consists of Patience, Diligence, Charity, Temperance/Self Restraint, Chastity, Gratitude, and Humility). This is basically the biggest form of vice that someone might committed. For now, I want to break down each sin, and I would do to the best of my ability to link it to these woke culture behaviors. Before proceeding further, this is going to be the most rant filled, longest piece of article full of unfiltered words that might upset some fragile souls. So, from here on out, proceed with utter caution, reader's discretion is advised.
The first one on the limelight is the Sin of Pride. This is where the shitstorm starts. Pride is considered as the original and the most dangerous among all seven. It's basically a dangerously corrupt selfishness, and the desire to put one's own desires, urges, wants and whims before the welfare of other people. I guess the most noticeable traits of this sin can be found on the LGBTQ+ Community, the Feminist Movement and Body Positivity Movements, or in this case, Fat Acceptance Movement. With the LGBTQ+ people, at least nowadays, is the debate of what pronouns people must use to refer one another. This is prevalent among people who identify as non-binary. And this is where the sin of Pride is come into play, by constantly reminding everyone (even those who just want to be normal, civilized member of society) to refer them using their "preferred" pronouns. Fortunately, I don't have this shitshow of an app, but the social media TikTok, aside from Twitter seems to be the forefront of this behavior by those who refer themselves as "Social Justice Warriors". The Fat Acceptance Movement also works the same way, by being completely oblivious, and outright ignorant of the health risks and diseases that could befell them should they continue eating like rabid dogs while they themselves are weighing almost half a ton from their unhealthy lifestyle. For the feminists, it's the sense of how being a woman should be empowering, independent and rejecting the patriarchy. Now bear in mind, I wrote this fully aware that these sins are connected to each other, and you can't talk about one without mentioning the other.
The second is the sin of Wrath, characterized by the inability to control the emotions of rage, anger, and even hatred. There is a saying that goes "angry people are the slaves of themselves". And based on the events over the past two years, it’s apparently like someone being angry and offended on behalf of everyone else who isn't even showed a sign of being offended in the first place. I guess society in general nowadays are prone of some type of abuse, one harmless joke could set off a chain reaction of a disastrous proportions. In short, everything is racist and misogynistic, and I mean EVERYTHING. Even a harmless chair is misogynistic, because men have to sit down while spread their legs, radical feminists called this "manspreading". For one, I must call this bullshit, because I have to spread my legs while sitting because I don't want my dick and nuts to be suffocating! Like I said earlier, someone can be "triggered" if someone has a different opinion on one issue, like the one mentioned above, the pronoun debacle (poor Jordan Peterson). Furthermore, there is some sense of "injustice" when it comes to the pronoun debacle. You see, as someone who understands English grammar quite well, plural pronoun is rendered obsolete to be used on a singular subject (namely individuals). But these "gender non-conforming" snowflakes insist that "they/them" pronoun should be used also to refer an individual who happens to be (self) identified as a non-binary person (which is completely stupid if you ask me). But the perfect example of this is the outrage over Dave Chapelle's comedy special "The Closer". On that special, Chapelle (who is a total fucking legend) talking about variety of things, including that statement by J. K. Rowling (who is another fucking legend, Harry Potter rocks) about gender is a fact, and how that statement is considered transphobic. Dave himself agreed with Rowling's statement. Right before this shiststorm, he shared a story on his fellow comedian and close friend, who was happened to be a trans woman, bullied and harassed by her own community to the point of suicide all because of the way she stood up for Dave because of some alleged "inflammatory" remarks. The special itself sparked outrage because it was streamed on Netflix, and the left demanded the streaming service to take down the special for those "transphobic" remarks. Another example that I can think of, is fanatic vegan activists "preaching" animal abuse (more like being a dumber version of themselves) and people who consume animal products (meat, dairy, and eggs) are supporting animal abuse. They are consistently angry about the fact that us, humans are inherently at the top of the food chain, eating other animals (that are meant to be consumed anyways). They preach about eating meat meaning committing a genocide of biblical proportions, and how animals are forced to be slaves of humanity. I honestly have nothing to say other than these herbivore assholes are the biggest nuisance I've ever seen. If I would use your logic, you are equally guilty for stripping this green Earth of its lush plants. I know there are good vegans out there, and I commend you guys for it, but like I said before, STOP FORCING YOUR BULLSHIT TO OTHER PEOPLE! And your veggies are fueled by fertilizers made from (you guessed it) animal fecal matters. I suspect that these people ate too many vegetables, they starting to lose their own happiness, because they have to constantly filter any food that might contain animal product in it (or as they say "dead bodies on sale").
And from that, we move on to the sin of Greed, defined as desire to pursue material possessions. Now, the George Floyd protests were mostly peaceful, but there are some instances of looting and breaking other properties just for the sake of "conveying your distress over racial prejudice". Within the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, there are some instances of things being stolen, and continuing from the sin above, a lot of dickheads screaming at a poor preacher who just want to teach these brain-dead asswipes some common sense, let me just say this, poor man indeed. He just wants to spread the message of God.
There are two similar sins like Greed, one of them is Gluttony. This is tightly linked with YouTube "Mukbang" contents, which is either people who dared to accept the challenge to eat excessive amount of food, or jackasses eating way too much for their own good (I'm looking at you, Nikocado Avocado, stop eating and get some help), but on this occasion (yet again), I must look at those folds and crevices of Fat Acceptance Movement. Remember how they feel that they are the most powerful beings in the world by totally ignoring all the health experts in the world for their absolute train wreck of a diet? They use this as an excuse to double down on their binge-eating and being a total dick about it, not really counting to others that might have been horrified by their actions. I mean, you can eat whatever the hell you want, but for fuck’s sake, try to move around occasionally! There is one "fat activist" (oxymoron alert) that really embodies this sin, and the person in question is Virgie Tovar. She has a book titled, You Have the Right to Remain Fat. Seriously, this woman even has her own term, called "Cake Related Fatphobic Incident", or CRFI (fuck me dead). This term refers to (allegedly) a moralizing impulse that prevents you from eating a delicious (and humongous) piece of cake. I mean what in the name of all that is holy is she talking about? That is not fatphobia, that is just fucking common sense! And all she does as a "fat activist" is to advocate that we just eat whatever we want, whenever we want, wherever we want, and as much as we want, racking up some kilos until our body size is the same as a 747 Jumbo Jet. Yeah, it's that bad. She herself is not even remotely ashamed about it. She even went as far (or as low) as condemning some innocent girl who just want a smaller cut of cake as "fatphobic". Grow the fuck up you lazy fat fuck! Therefore, the body positivity movement is not being taken seriously, it's because of these bulldozer-looking motherfuckers who just won't see the bigger picture, that the bigger you are, the sicker you can be! The Body Positivity Movement that I know is people who have conditions outside their own control, like life altering injuries, scars, biological conditions, and even loss of limb. I've lost too many loved ones due to weight-related issues, and I'm now trying to control my calorie intake by limiting my food choices and move around more often, or I might end up in an early grave.
Another one that is (sadly) also linked with these quasi-Godzilla is the sin of Envy. The first thing came into my mind is the so-called "Privileges of Patriarchy" or any type of that shit. And don't you say that this aspect is limited for those who have few extra kilos, this also can be applied to the Feminist Movement, or at least the most extreme faction of it. Probably one of the most talked about issue in this particular area is the Gender Pay Gap. The idea of this is men are paid more than women simply because of their biological gender, this is nothing more than envious and probably pathetic attempt to change the worldview. Because let's face it, it is not really existed, but it's simply because of different sector offers different pay rate. Men in general are more into physical work than women, and women in general are more into the care sector than men. Men could work as an engineer, electrician, mechanic, and other activities that involve physical work, and often offer bigger paychecks. Women on the other hand are more likely to become caregivers and caretakers (nurses), work in retail, and hospitality. Those jobs, albeit offer as much, but still figuratively less than the more physical work. For me personally, it's all about high risk, high reward when it comes to the Pay Gap. On the other hand, women can also get paid more than men depend on their positions of the office hierarchy. I've seen GMs, CEOs, and other high-ranking officers that happen to be women, and it's good for them. That means that the current work environment is inclusive enough.
The next two are not necessarily linked to the woke culture, but there are enough examples of this behavior today. The sin of Lust is often characterized as intense and unbridled sexual desire. On this note, I'll depart briefly from the woke culture into the darker aspects of life. When it comes to the embodiment of the sin of Lust, it's sexual assaults of any kind. Especially if it's done to minors. On the other hand, when it comes to today's behavior, it's something called "Sexual Revolution", basically calling for acceptance of sex outside of traditional heterosexual, monogamous relationships (primarily marriage). And with that, the normalization of contraception and the pill, public nudity, pornography, premarital sex, homosexuality, masturbation, alternative forms of sexuality, and the legalization of abortion all followed suit. In a nutshell, to accept sexual behavior beside the normal heterosexual practices, as well as "sex workers". Nowadays, this is not limited to some Instagram thots fishing for money from sexually frustrated young men who got nothing to do besides living in their parents' basement, playing Fortnite 24 hours a day, complain about their failure of dating but they themselves are too lazy to do it (this will be relevant later), and jacking off to the weirdest porn films imaginable. Hell, there is even a website for these girls to flash themselves, and that site is OnlyFans. The premise of this shitstorm is to charge some amount of money for users to watch some content (in this case, mostly nude content). Since the pandemic began, there is a considerable spike in online contents, whether the content in question is podcasts, music cover videos, or in this case, a circulation of NSFW contents. This can also translate as a hyper sexualization of mainstream content. Take Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's hit song WAP or Wet Ass Pussy for example. Mainstream media and modern feminists argue that this song is a symbol of female empowerment, but for me personally, this is nothing more than a blatant objectification of women and could send the wrong message to the younger audience. Imagine tuning in on a music show, and somehow two barely clothed women perform a song that is blatantly about sex, engaging in an act simulating a woman-on-woman intercourse, and the worst part of this whole thing, is younger kids are fully exposed to this shit. But there is something far worse than this. Not a long time ago I came across a video about "MAP", after brief research, I found out that it stands for "Minor Attracted People", or in a nutshell, people who are attracted to kids, or as I like to call them, pedophiles. These fuckers are pushing a narrative to normalize sick perverts being sexually attracted to kids. Seriously, this is going too far.
And the last one in this list is the sin of Sloth. The easiest way to explain this sin is one word: Careless. It's those type of guys who are basically irresponsible of themselves. Let's get back to the so-called "Fat Acceptance" Movement. They say that all bodies should be celebrated regardless of who they are. Now, most of the time it's done by women who are basically sloths and too lazy to better themselves and put some effort for their own wellbeing. Not only that, but they also fail to address the double standards that existed for a long time. You see, fat women are celebrated because they are "brave" and "non-conforming to the society's strict standards", but fat men are only seen as undesirable fat fucks. Nothing more, and nothing less. This double standard can also be linked with the sin of Lust above, by saying that men who hooks up with multiple girls are seen as a "jock", a "ladies' man", and a "Chad" (Incels invented this shit), while women who hooks up with multiple men are seen as a "cheap bimbo" or worse, a "slut". Probably the one that really associates the sin of Sloth is incels. You know, those type of misogynist and misandrist fucks who want to have sexual relationships but for some reason, rejection is the only one they ended up with. The game is they desired a 10, but they are too lazy to improve themselves, and thus, ended up as a 1 or a 0, or maybe a 5 if they are lucky enough. As the result of this, they develop something called "The Victim Mentality", in a nutshell, this mentality refers to a state where someone blames external factors that might contributing to their misfortune, but it’s self-inflicted to themselves. Oh, you are an "influencer" who didn't get enough likes on Instagram? Blame the patriarchy! Are you a fat person who recently fails a weight loss program? Blame thin privilege! You didn't succeed asking a girl out because you are a stinky, overweight man who showers probably once in his lifetime? blame "Chads" and "Stacys"! From laziness, comes envy when it comes to this victim mentality, or as I would personally call them, "whining asswipes."
I guess what I'm trying to say is The Seven Deadly Sins is one of those legends who describe the heaviest, most heinous behaviors a human being can commit. And from what I've seen for the last few months, some of these vices can easily fit into these woke behaviors. It is okay to be yourself, but again, let other people be themselves. Treat everyone with respect, and you will earn that same thing from everyone else. To be honest, this topic is limitless, but I can't proceed further without offending more fragile souls and delicate sensibilities, so I'll just leave it that way. As usual, stay safe, wear the mask, and get vaccinated (if you wish to do them, of course), wash yourself, and have a good and peaceful life.
