These days we have a new breed of Puritans. Their religion is wokeness, and they too see witches everywhere.
What’s really incredible is that these Puritan witch hunters are really just a small percentage of the population.
Most people are completely sane and normal. But this tiny group happens to be the loudest.
And because of that, they’ve completely upended everything– culture, business, politics, and even science.
They tell us what words we can/cannot use. Some of the largest corporations in the world have already bent the knee, cancelling movies, music, and even food, because it offends the mob.
Disney cancelled the song “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” because it’s offensive. Yet they graciously thanked the Chinese Communist Party in their recent release of Mulan!
And the same doctors and public health officials who tell us that we have to wear masks tell us that it’s OK to not wear a mask when rioting, because hate is a much bigger public health crisis.
Wokeness is such bizarre logic. But it never stops.
Just this morning I saw articles lamenting the lack of diversity in the wine industry; and another claiming that National Parks aren’t welcoming enough to certain minorities.
Even 2+2=4 is now a controversial statement to some mathematics educators, who find the expression grounded in imperialistic, heteronormative toxic masculinity.
But it’s not enough to simply bow out and avoid their intolerance. That makes YOU a target.
You have to denounce family members, grovel to the Twitter mob, raise a fist in solidarity, participate in the chants and rituals… otherwise you put yourself and your family at risk.
They’ll come for your job, your business, and your dignity.
I have no idea how far this will go, or how much more ridiculous it will become.
