Rainbow-Colored Naziism (It's Only Wrong When I Say It)

"If I was a dictator, [NewAgers are] one of the first groups of people that I would eliminate."

How is it that I can start this blog in 1985, talking about the NewAge Movement and how much harm it's caused - not just to the world but to me personally: I've lost a marriage, family, friends, employment, you name it - but today, in 2025, saying NewAge is horrible has morphed into the punchline for a Bill Burr bit? 

    

I'll tell you how: because I've put it all together and the Bill Burr's of the world haven't - and the fascists know it - so I, a black man, will catch hell for decades while Bill Burr doesn't, because Bill Burr's no threat. Consider, in his previous Saturday Night Live monologue, he said "white women" were who's responsible for the backlash to "woke":

"The way white women somehow hijacked the woke movement, generals around the world should be analyzing this....somehow, white women swung their Gucci-booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line."

Notice: he was analysing it, but (apparently) still hasn't put together those "white women" are NewAgers, putting themselves at the head of the line that's supposed to be for me, but using it to bury me, instead. Not only for noticing but saying something about it. It's truly remarkable.

  

Remarkable because, if you put Burr's observations with those of Norman Finkelstein, about all the trouble "woke" has been causing for minorities, then you can start to understand the authoritarian era were in, and not only how it got started but by who. It was the actions of NewAgers, already wrongly cancelling people like me, who brought us the authoritarianism of Donald Trump. 

     

Conspiracy theorists are suggesting the CIA is using AI chat bots to keep Americans from analyzing things online, but why would that be necessary - or realistic - when the nation's already embraced a long-running religion that's been keeping Americans from thinking for the last 20 years, resulting in an American Civil Rights Movement that, today, is used to defend white South Africans?
