Early on, I thought this whole woke junk was a 21st century Cultural Revolution. That too included ferocious accusations, cancel culture, and public apologies.
It was BS in China 60 years ago. It’s BS now.
It is revolution, Black Revolution
Forget China, it was BS in the Soviet Union (both with Stalin and with Lenin), and it was even BS during the French Revolution (the ACTUAL inspiration behind China’s Cultural Revolution). We must NEVER forget that the French Revolution was the actual start of the Cultural Revolution (and I’d argue that while Rousseau definitely played a huge role in the FR, it was actually the likes of Voltaire who pushed for the more destructive aspects of it, all because he didn’t stand the very idea of anyone, especially a deity, being smarter than him. It actually sickens me at times that Voltaire is treated as basically being a stalwart defender of free speech by even us Conservatives. He’s not! He if anything was the prototype to the SJW’s cancel culture. Just ask Abbe Barruell, Edmund Burke, or Timothy Dwight. They’ll tell you.).
