“...said this week that being “anti-woke” is the same as being “anti-Black.””

No subsequent tyrannical nation implementing thought control has ever come close to the current global environment and its thought control technologies...
Particularly in the communist-controlled United States...
It is fun watching the bucket crabs try to be top crab of victimhood.
Not to Cori Bush: Being anti-woke is being anti-idiot, you freaking moron!
Criticism of woke policies must be polling badly. Keep it up.
Weellll...
If that’s the way you want it....
Nope.
Anti-sin.
Anti-communist.
Anti-lies.
I am anti-whining, bitching, divisiveness and entitlement.
Gramsci was on to something when he observed that the commies of the chattering classes — those Stalin called useful idiots because they mindlessly carried water for the Soviets — could be mobilized to become the dry rot in the timbers of nations and civilizations. All they had to do was what they were already want to do, if maybe be a bit more sneaky while doing it.
