No, the cancel culture / wokeness, the quarantine/lockdown/jackboot on everyone's necks, BLM riots, and unfettered Jihadist immigration is destroying both interest in and support for archaeology, and will in fact destroy the society. The scumbags at the Guardian think they're safe because they regurgitate the talking points, but they'll be bayonetted as a nice thank-you.
The problem with archaeology from the woke point of view is that it inevitably deals with real history…and if there’s one thing that conflicts with wokeness, dictatorial impositions, racialist fantasies and all of the other insanity around us now, it’s real history. That is, what really happened, who really did it, all the kind of stuff archaeology is devoted to finding, proving and preserving.
Reality, in other words. But reality to wokeness is like a crucifix to a vampire. It must be destroyed.
UK’s shared history?
Aren’t these the same Leftists who decy Shakespeare as imperialist and boring culture from a dead white male?
