The American Thinker has a blog post up with an amazing list of woke crap along with some commentary and I just had to post it here because holy cow… You don’t even realize how much of a sewer has been gushing at us until you see this list! I’ve cut and pasted it, along with some of the commentary below, but I heartily recommend the entire blog post to you here.
…It’s instructive to review just a few of the avalanche of insane ideas imposed on us in the last few years:
- Defund the police
- Humans can change their sex
- DEI mandated discrimination
- Open borders
- Cashless bail
- Gender neutral language
- Specifying pronouns
- Flagrant, open-mawed antisemitism
- Censoring “problematic” language from classic books, movies, and music, everything from Agatha Christie and Dr. Seuss, to Baby, It’s Cold Outside
- Gender neutral restrooms and locker rooms
- Men competing in women’s sports
- Men in women’s prisons
- Drag queen story hour
- Homeless lifestyle choice
- Social media companies censoring conservative voices
- Lawfare
- Providing permanently body-altering “gender affirming care” to children
- Gay pornographic books in school libraries
- Cancel culture
- Triggering
- Heteronormative
- Transsexualism
- Safe spaces
- Silence is violence
- Land acknowledgements
- The 1619 project
- Settler colonialism
- White privilege
- Intersectionality
- The patriarchy
- White fragility
- Systemic racism
- Transphobia
- Islamophobia
- Virtue signaling
- Critical race theory
- Cultural appropriation
- Anti-racism
- White supremacy
- Implicit bias
- Climate justice
- Deadnaming
Each an indefensible, baldfaced lie and, therefore, scrupulously protected from counterargument by any means necessary. And because Wokeists controlled most of our most powerful public and private institutions, the means at their disposal were mighty.
Challenge any of their lies, and anything could happen: Billionaire and former president, Donald Trump, was banned from Twitter and Facebook, barely survived two assassination attempts, and endured long, expensive criminal and civil trials based on blatantly bogus allegations; President Trump was impeached twice; conservative speakers were shouted down and assaulted; peaceful conservative gatherings were attacked; two-tiered justice exploded as we saw with J6 protesters vis-a-vis “mostly peaceful” Woke rioters; conservative supreme court justices were harassed in their homes in contravention of federal law; conservative commentators were forced to spend millions a year on personal security details; job terminations came for those expressing views critical of Woke ideology; Charlie Kirk got shot through the neck. And on and on and on.
The Woke Revolution’s power also flowed from the Niagara Falls of persuasive propaganda gushing from all the smartest, coolest, and most powerful people and institutions in America. Each firmly onboard with, and ceaselessly proselytizing, insane Woke propaganda. You couldn’t go to a movie, watch a tv show — or, heaven forfend, a commercial — read a book, magazine, or newspaper, watch a game or the news, take a class, attend an HR training, make an investment, go to a concert, eat at Cracker Barrel, or drink a Bud Light without being blown sideways by a tsunami of Woke sanctimony.
Congratulations to the writer, Paul Merkl. The piece is called A Deplorable asks, ‘What did you do during the Woke revolution?’
Like I say, read the whole thing. It’s a banger.
