Alternate media never gets the credit it deserves. Elon Musk has taken over Twitter (now “X”) and allowed free speech. In the process wokesters -- particularly in the intellectual and moral cesspool absurdly continued to be called “higher education” -- and media have exposed themselves as ignorant embracers of bestiality. Hamas’s snuff films posted there establish what they are. The compromised and partisan reporters on the ground never did this, and sentient readers have every reason to view mainstream media as pap for imbeciles.
What exactly do I mean by “wokesters” -- what do they believe and why? Richard Samuelson in a brilliant essay analyzes their thinking and its genesis, and in so doing shows how their acts make them worthy of contempt.
In the wake of the barbaric attack on Israel, many Americans have been shocked, angered, and disgusted to see woke organizations express anything other than condemnation for Hamas. On campuses and in our communities, students and organizations like Black Lives Matter have expressed support for the butchers of Jews. Meanwhile, all too many campus leaders, formerly so quick to condemn even the hint of racism, can barely muster even weak condemnation of such savagery. Many Americans find themselves shaking their heads in dismay.
Where does this blindness come from? Why are so many people who think of themselves as crusaders for justice so misguided?
It is a complicated story. But one key part of that story is the way that civil rights, which began as a cause, became an ideology. Eventually that ideology metastasized into “anti-racism,” a radical legal doctrine that scholar John McWhorter suggests is nothing less than a secular “religion.” The once-noble cause of civil rights changed. No longer merely about ending specific acts of discrimination in voting, employment, and public accommodations...

These days going to college is a dangerous thing.
Um...because they're NOT Crusaders. They are quite the opposite. AKA, mohammedans, satanists, and commies who hate the Cross, hate justice, and a malguided.
Johnson - Carter - Clinton - Obama - Biden
All democrats
Great Society my a$$......
Witting and unwitting champions in the spirit of Herod, Cain, Hitler, Brandon, etc. need to be called out every time.
“Where does this blindness come from? Why are so many people who think of themselves as crusaders for justice so misguided?”
It was never about justice rather it was about gaining power disguised as crusaders for justice. They are their own god and they are jealous and angry as befits a god. Reject Hamas? Hell they never rejected the Soviet Union or Mao and communist China, two of the biggest destroyers of human life the earth has ever seen.
Bkmk
The current level of support for the butchers of Israelis, especially among college students, faculty, and the woke mob ought to be enough to cleave American Jews away from the democrat party.
Twitter - X might be a lot of things but a free speech platform is definitely not one of them. Quite the opposite actually.
I read many years ago about how islam was working hard on recruiting black folks in American prisons, and were quite successful at it..
Hmmm... Considering the decisions they made in past history, I wouldn't count on that..

Ought to. Won’t.
So true. There is never the slightest hesitation that instituting socialism and communism here when it utterly failed elsewhere could have any of the same disastrous consequences. Instead, just an oozing smugness that it wasn't done right elsewhere, but the enlightened here know so much better how to do it properly.
And they’ve been at it for a very long time. When I worked in Manhattan in the mid-90’s, black Nation of Islam members were frequently seen preaching on street corners, standing on boxes, ranting and raving about the “blue eyed devils”, etc.
“Elon Musk has taken over Twitter (now “X”) and allowed free speech.”
X has more speech than before but they still do not have free speech. Only Gab.com has free speech. Even FR censors based on cronyism.
