In the previous blog post I introduced Boku Haram, a Northern Nigerian rebel group that wants to stop modernization.  I explained that their pleas represent the desires of a billion tribal people around the world.

In this blog I want to connect the goals of Boku Haram to the ‘Wokie Movement’ in the United States.

‘Boku Haram’ is Pidgin for ‘Books evil.’  A rejection of modernization by tribal people. 

How is that closely related to the ‘Wokie Movement?’  Let's begin with the Wokie view of education.  

My granddaughter in the Los Angeles public school system has been taught about the Human Caused Global Apocalypse since kindergarten. It is taught as unquestionable scientific truth.  Now the whole California education system mandates teaching 

• the systemic racism of the U.S., 
• the oppression of all non-white people and women by white males, 
• the absence of gender or intelligence as a genetic component and, most recently, 
• the view that arithmetic is a white social construct with calculations and theorems that are negotiable fabrications.  

Flowing from this anti-modern education, the major California universities and state colleges no longer use educational achievement tests as a measure of educational proficiency.

The Wokie Movement further demands that the large differential in wealth and income in most of the world be dramatically reduced because the presumed meritocracy that created income and wealth differentials is the result of oppressive white supremacy.  Nothing could be more tribal than this Wokie view.  Tribal peoples the world over prohibit major differences in wealth except for the single local tribal leader. 

Tribal societies create cohesion within tribes by emphasizing the deep familial bonds and the dangers outside the tribe.  The Wokie Movement emphasizes racial, gender and ethnic differences to strengthen tribal cohesion and hatred of outside white male supremacy. The combination is a source of group cohesion.  Hatred of police is a particular danger at the top of the list of tribal victimologies.
