Conservative commentator Michael O'Fallon, founder of Sovereign Nations, recently articulated a framework for understanding contemporary political polarization, asserting that the conflict between the "Woke Left" and "Woke Right" constitutes a deliberate "dialectical political warfare." O'Fallon, known for his critiques of "woke" ideologies and his promotion of Christian nationalist views, outlined this perspective on social media, suggesting a coordinated process behind societal shifts.
In his recent post, O'Fallon stated, "> Thesis -> Antithesis -> Synthesis / Problem -> Reaction -> Solution," indicating a structured, almost engineered, progression of societal conflict. He further elaborated, "> Woke Left and Woke Right performing together in dialectical political warfare through sublation." This analysis posits that seemingly opposing forces are, in fact, working in concert to achieve a predetermined outcome.
O'Fallon defined "sublation" within this context as a process where "ideas or concepts evolve by being simultaneously cancelled (or negated), preserved, and elevated into a higher, more complex form." This philosophical concept, derived from Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's dialectic, describes how conflicting ideas lead to a new, more advanced synthesis. However, O'Fallon applies it to political factions, implying a coordinated effort rather than organic ideological evolution.
The "Problem-Reaction-Solution" (PRS) theory, often associated with conspiracy theories, suggests that powerful groups engineer a problem to elicit a public reaction, thereby allowing them to introduce a pre-planned solution. While Hegel's original dialectic describes a philosophical method of conceptual development, the PRS framework is a modern reinterpretation frequently used in political criticism to imply deliberate manipulation.
The founder of Sovereign Nations concluded his statement with a pointed assertion: "> Because the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution." This suggests that the overt conflicts and debates are merely distractions from a larger, underlying agenda aimed at fundamental societal transformation. O'Fallon and Sovereign Nations frequently analyze global and national events through the lens of "The Great Reset" and similar theories, which suggest orchestrated efforts to dismantle traditional Western structures.
Michael O'Fallon has a public profile as a vocal critic of progressive movements and has been involved in controversies, particularly within conservative religious circles, regarding what he perceives as a "woke" drift. His organization, Sovereign Nations, describes itself as dedicated to the preservation of national sovereignty and the promotion of Christian principles, often publishing content that interprets current events through a lens of cultural and political struggle. His latest commentary reinforces his view of a calculated and ongoing ideological battle shaping the future of society.
