James Lindsay goes into the history and mechanics of woke starting with Herbert Markusa and the start of the new left in the 60s. It's a long long back story. If you want to get deep in the weeds as he goes line by line through all the founding works of the new left you can listen to his excellent "New Discourses" podcast. Thousands upon thousands of professional activists have been trained in these teachings, done PHD theses on these subjects and infiltrated vast networks of charitable foundations and higher education in their so-called "long march through the institutions" to spread the woke ideology and create generations of ready-made grievance entrepreneurs.
- freejazz 4y agoLost me at "woke ideology" and "grievance entrepreneurs" the latter of which is a huge projection.
- narrator 4y agoHuh? You're not making a coherent argument.
- freejazz 4y agoOh, I'm saying that you aren't either, and are just bloviating around culture war nonsense. That's made clear by your use of key phrases.
- narrator 4y agoYou are just bloviating around culture war nonsense. That's made clear by your use of key phrases like saying the other person is using key phrases.
- freejazz 4y agoWell "key phrases" isn't a phrase in the culture war, so I can't take your response here seriously. It seems childish, trite, and a bit "I know you are but what am I?!?!?" To put it another way, I don't see a coherent argument. I also didn't say anything to bloviate, perhaps you would appreciate reviewing the definition for that word too? You are the one here writing about how "wokeism" started in 1960 and expect people to take you seriously? You sound like you might as well be a fox news host. Give me a break, I'm looking for people who don't have an axe to grind.
