So basically, the more the right wins at the state level (where the real power belongs), the more extreme the left in academia get (where the real grooming happens).
That’ll be worth a squirt.

ah but 20 yrs ago there was no woke yet. they rode whatever wave of leftism was swelling at the time
This story is interesting on a couple of levels. She’s smart when she talks about “an enemy”. It’s what the Arabs and Persians do, it’s what the Nazis and Franco’s fascists did.
Pick out a group and call them an enemy. Focus everyone on them so no one looks at what you’re doing.
She’s a history professor at Boston College. Used to be at MIT and Amhurst. Another product of Hahvad.
She’s obviously brilliant. I think I might like her Death of Reconstruction…

Marcuse, Essay on Liberation
Sorry, that’s incorrect.
you better be!
how so?
Critical conscious has been around since Marx. Woke is just AAVE slang for it.
Of course there was. It used to be called pc and back then was why cant i call someone a ■■■ or how many n words there are in a rap song.
No. “Woke” and “PC” are not at all the same thing. “PC” is repressive tolerance.
“Woke” is not a pejorative to the actual Woke or Woke Adjacent™

there were no page filled charts of new genders and inane gibberish pronouns yet. not like now. not quite the hyper-sensitivity to race either.
atlantic, economist, new yorker and other self-fart sniffing douchy rags were just as insufferably left then
Yes. Wokeness is headed there too. At ludicrous speed

When the heck was the economist left?
i just made a similar point
“woke” is a new level of hyper-sensitivity
no where near same.
Critical consciousness is a Marxist driven thing.
Yes the pendulum has swung too far
Balderdash! The immiseration is not half over.
They know we are coming for their jobs, republican states are remembering they fund their salaries and universities.
