Objectivism and Wokism:
Morality Without Reality

🧨

Introduction

Wokism presents itself as moral progress: compassion for victims, justice for the oppressed, and sensitivity toward human suffering.

But beneath the slogans lies a deeper premise: truth is subordinate to feelings, and morality is subordinate to group identity.

Objectivism rejects this at the root.

A moral code cannot be built on emotion, social pressure, or collective guilt. It must be built on reality — and grasped by reason.

🧠

The Primacy of Feelings vs the Primacy of Reality

Wokism treats feelings as moral evidence. If someone feels harmed, the harm is assumed real. If someone feels offended, the offense is treated as a moral crime.

Objectivism reverses this.

Feelings are not tools of knowledge. They are consequences of ideas already accepted.

This is central to the Objectivist view of the mind, developed in Objectivism and Psychology.

When a culture elevates emotion above reason, it does not produce justice. It produces hysteria — enforced by intimidation.

⚖️

Justice vs “Social Justice”

Wokism speaks constantly about “justice.” But what it means is not justice in the Objectivist sense.

Justice means judging individuals by facts — by their choices and actions.

Wokism replaces this with:

• collective guilt
• inherited blame
• group-based entitlement
• moral status determined by identity

This is not justice. It is tribalism wearing moral language.

Objectivism holds that the basic unit of morality is the individual — not the group, not the “community,” not the “historical narrative.”

🧬

The Attack on Individualism

Wokism is collectivism at the level of the soul.

It trains people to see themselves not as individual minds, but as representatives of categories: race, sex, class, orientation, “privilege,” “oppression.”

Objectivism rejects this metaphysically and morally. Man is an individual — not a vessel for group fate.

When identity replaces character, and demographics replace judgment, the concept of moral responsibility collapses.

Language as Power, Not as Meaning

Wokism treats language as power — not as a tool of clarity.

Words are policed not for accuracy, but for political alignment. Definitions shift to serve activism. “Violence” becomes disagreement. “Hate” becomes dissent. “Safety” becomes obedience.

Objectivism views concepts as cognitive tools. Their purpose is to identify reality.

When language is detached from facts, communication becomes manipulation — and thinking becomes impossible.

🎓

Indoctrination Masquerading as Education

Wokism spreads fastest where minds are trained to repeat instead of think.

It enters education not as a subject to evaluate, but as a moral atmosphere to absorb.

Students are taught what to say, what to fear, and which questions are forbidden.

As explored in Objectivism and Education, a system that seeks conformity cannot tolerate independent judgment.

That is why wokism depends on moral intimidation: it cannot survive open rational scrutiny.

🗽

Wokism vs Capitalism

Wokism is hostile to achievement. Hostile to profit. Hostile to hierarchy earned through ability. Hostile to success not justified by victimhood.

It treats wealth as suspicion, excellence as “privilege,” and production as exploitation.

Objectivism answers this directly: production is a virtue, trade is moral, and profit is the reward for creating value.

This is why Objectivism defends capitalism: not as an “imperfect system,” but as the only system consistent with individual rights.

The Objectivist Alternative

Objectivism does not offer “niceness.” It offers clarity.

• Reality over narratives
• Reason over feelings
• Individual rights over group power
• Justice over collective guilt
• Truth over moral intimidation

Wokism demands submission to a shifting moral code enforced by social threat. Objectivism demands one thing only: think — and judge by facts.

Conclusion

Wokism is not compassion. It is moral subjectivism weaponized.

It replaces truth with feelings, justice with group power, and morality with intimidation.

Objectivism rejects it for the same reason it rejects every irrational ideology: it divorces the mind from reality.

If you want real justice, real progress, and real human dignity, there is only one foundation: reason applied to reality — without apology.
