The “wok” phenomena is self gratifying delusion for those who find the truth about themselves unbearable.

I messed up the title. Correct title is: "How America’s Students Need to Get ‘Woke’"

But in the end, they are proving unwoken to the full dimensions of those who have channeled them into a decade or more of crushing debt, left them with unmarketable degrees, nourished both their ignorance of the world, past and present, and their political arrogance

Yep, Dumber than Dirt, but some of the Proudest Morons on the Planet.

As usual, VDH nails it. Good Lord, this man is intelligent.

University students today are suckers who finance their own indoctrination and brain washing, only to graduate with very little good job or work prospects which might liquidate their debt. Instead they are economically enslaved with a confirmation of their “victimhood.” They become cannon fodder for the radical left socialists who are attempting to gain permanent power in our Republic.

By contrast , my grandson left high-school, was duly informed he need not be an Indoctrination sucker, became an apprentice power linesman. Four years later at the age of 22 , at a time he would otherwise be graduating from Indoctrination University with 70 thousand dollars of indebtedness, , he has his high tension wire red ticket, owns his own home on 5 acres, owns his own vehicle, with a gorgeously loyal wife and a 6 month old beautiful daughter. He earns over 100 grand per year.

We thank the Good Lord that he did not attend University.

The trashing of white masculinity should be their top concern.

If students were really “woke” to the abject exploitation in their own landscapes, they would march on the president’s office to protest the lack of transparency in student loaning, the bureaucratic fat that does not contribute to learning or academic excellence, and the disparity between helot part-time lecturers and full-professor overlords. They would demand to know how much they are paying for each class, for office hours, for much on campus that ultimately is leveraged by their own government guaranteed student debt that will be an albatross around their collective necks into their thirties.

Viewed through these lenses, the progressive campus project is a mere veneer. It is a scab of sorts, overlaying a wound beneath of progressive exploitation and class privileges and hierarchies of the exploiters and exploited.

The results spill over from campus and are deleterious for the entire nation, ranging from prolonging adolescence and infantilizing young adulthood, delaying marriage, child-rearing, and home ownership to radicalizing the Democratic Party to the point of near irrelevance—not to mention the cost of defaulted government loans. Many of those indebted who actually graduate will gravitate into low-paying jobs. And the professors and administrators who damned capitalism to them will be doing the same to each successive generation of naïfs, but always play-acting as radical mentors from tenured and six-figure salary billets.

In sum, today’s students are the most unaware, naïve—and unwoke—generation in our nation’s history. They pose as all-knowing and all-caring. But in the end, they are proving unwoken to the full dimensions of those who have channeled them into a decade or more of crushing debt, left them with unmarketable degrees, nourished both their ignorance of the world, past and present, and their political arrogance—and called it all success.

This Is Another Liberal Darwin Award Winner!

As someone said yesterday and which fits these incipient little assclowns perfectly——”OK DOOMER!”
