    A very interesting and informative speech. He cites the authors of these theories throughout.

    I see woke as an unsupported assumption, followed by virulent intolerance

    Clearly no one has anything to say about the largest political movement in history.

    There are various flavors, - the left wing flavor was about racial justice, equality, and few other things (including political activism), which was being pushed in 2020. In the other side we have the current day RW flavor (woke on steroids), which is drowning out all other noise. It's the hysterical anti-LGBT propaganda surge. Unfortunately we will have to listen to it until Nov 2024, at which point it will disappear like a fart in Sahara.

    The guy in the video makes a desperate effort to paint it as a purely left wing economic thing, but most people know better.

    I've read Lindsay's articles on the subject at New Discourses and they're very informative. The man has definitely done his research, unlike the Leftists who are desperately trying to portray Critical Social Justice (Ozlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo's chosen term, not Lindsay's) as something that it's not.

    That's par for the course with its adherents.

    I'm curious why you would consider and/or call Wokeism "the largest political movement in history".

    I see it more as one contemporary current of thought within the broader Far Left current of thought.

    Yeah, and it's only engulfed the entire United States culture in a matter of a few years.
