Basically post-modern, neo-Marxist systems. That's wokeness. The rabbit hole runs deep, and it's a yugeeee intellectual effort to try and understand it (and I don't claim to have a great handle on it, myself.) It's a very insidious philosophical system, and it's no surprise to me that people fall for it. Certain demographics seem more susceptible to it than others. It's an activist philosophy, so it's not something that somebody concocted and then other people took it up because they felt it was worthwhile. It's deliberately being plied onto people by activists with agendas. It has invaded the academy.

I think this topic is important to DropTheT, because that's where a lot of this madness is coming from.

I won't argue with Judith Butler types (Queer Theory, which shares a genealogy with the rest of the woke stuff) the same way I won't argue with flat-earthers. Earth's round, get over it. Sex ain't socially constructed, looking at you, Judith Butler.

To give an incredibly abbreviated account of neo-Marxism, the proletariat didn't rise up and overthrow the bourgeoisie, so the Marxists went back to the drawing board. Instead of reasoning... hm, maybe we're wrong about this whole Marxist thing, they decided, no, we're right, and there must be other things at play. They decided that there are power structures subtly and perniciously embedded into society, even going as far as to say that the language we have available to even talk about maybe guillotining people is inherently oppressive. Neo-Marxists are looking for oppression in places it does not exist, because they're not getting the activist outcomes they desire. It's a cognitive dissonance.

There's a huge focus on language... hmmm where have we seen this? Changing the meanings of words, like "man," or "woman," or "homosexual," or ...
