Fighting “wokeism” has now become a cultural crusade from the right, including the right to define it with maximum expedience. I suspect it was a inevitable reaction to the BLM wave of 2020. I also suspect it is a generational thing, with aging Boomers being most Anti-Woke, but I could be wrong. I also don’t know if BLM resonated that much with the Hispanic and Asian communities. On the far right it seems “wokelem” is being connected to Communism as part of the far right’s new Crusade Against Communism for what that’s worth. How much legs does this all have, I wonder. Will a real crisis wipe it all away?

Yes, the anti-“Woke” bandwagon is getting a lot of loudmouths jumping on it. It certainly has become s dirty word in certain quarters. I even ran into into it on a Nerd movie review website. Too many women, gays, and Blacks in superhero movies now, ya know.

Mother of Dredd asks me what “woke” is. Hey, she’s 93. But at this point, “woke” is whatever the right wing media says it is.

WTF? It seems like Newsmax and it’s ilk is getting deeper and deeper into defending white people. Do they really need defending? I’m white and don’t feel like l need it. Is the pro-white media walking off into oblivion? Wouldn’t surprise me. No loss.

Listened to another forgettable Larry Kudlow rant except for when he said “climate change and other wokeisms”. That’s a stretch even I wouldn’t have thought of, but I like it. Anti-science and anti-wokeism rolled into one.

I guess I have a separate thread for cancel culture, wokeism, and CRT. Should combine all these invented outrages into one thread perhaps. Maybe this one. Oh yeah, since climate change is wokeism for at least one big mouth rightie, maybe that should go in here too. Probably not.

So the “woke” folks are now being blamed for trying to “cancel” Christmas by none other than the Orange Monster? As if they were capable of it. Christmas can only crash of its own terrible weight.

Todays darling of the War Against Wokeism is Cynthia Millen who resigned from some swim organization because of a transgender swimmer winning championships. Whatever. It’s just sports. But appearing on Fox News tells me all I need to know about her.

Now I’m seeing videos of people in Britain whining about “wokeism”. Warms my heart.

Here is the hysterically funny part: As right wing media demonizes “wokeness”, ever since the BLM riots of 2020 hit, right wing outlets such as Newsmax have flooded their airtime with black faces. The irony is epic.

I guess I overthreaded. What else is new.? I read someone say that it was “wokeism’ attacking Rogan. And I thought it was “Cancel Culture”. Hard to keep straight what the right’s definition of these things are, but it may mean I have one thread too many on the subject. What to do, what to do? 🤨

Is it amusing or scary that Jordan Peterson has become a raging anti-woke fanatic? I’m not sure how many people pay attention to this guy. I only do because I pay attention to a lot of weird sh#t. It’s fascinating how he has melded Psychoanalysis and Christian dogma into an attack on “wokeness”.

Well Bill Maher has jumped on the anti-woke bandwagon when it comes to movie casting, no doubt because he sees that is considered cool now. I wonder if he will go on one of his anti-Islam rants now that Salman Rushdie has been stabbed? Bill does seem to like being the toast of the Newsmax types.
