The woke workplace has become a hostile environment.
You be wacist!
(He thought logic would win out.)
Not since O’Barry showed up on the national scene.
We now live in something similar to Brezhnev’s Soviet Union. Being politically incorrect won’t get you executed. But it will destroy your career. Here’s a Russian joke from that era:
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on farm collectivization?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the steel production goals?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the increase in food prices?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: Don’t you have any opinions of your own?
Soviet citizen: Yes. But I don’t agree with them.
By design.
It is the purpose of wokeness.
You cannot destroy institutions and Western Civilization without hostility.
Okaaaay...

And a compliant public.
Bttt.

Heather Mac has only been reporting to the conservative choir.
Bari Weiss was expelled from the Left as one of the last remaining slightly dissenting voices.
Do you remember back in January when the headlines were that deaths from heart attack and stroke were up something like 40%? And the question then was: were these deaths becauase of covid, the vaxx, or something else?
And we were told that after another quarter, the data would be much more informative.
Well folks, another quarter has come and gone and there's been NOTHING in the news. Surely the actuaries have crunched the numbers for the most recent quarter by now.
There are workplace protections for many things created by the left (sexual orientation, etc).
But there are no protections for political speech.
Exercise your Second Amendment right and have a firearm in your car in the company parking lot...you might get fired.
Bring a prayer rug and kneel toward Mecca....you are protected.
I have no problems with protecting sexual orientation and religion in the workplace, as long as you don’t turn it into a recruiting center or demand acceptance.
I have a problem with expressing political speech and being terminated for it.
These are the same people who love to virtue signal with their lawn signs saying "Hate doesn't live here."
A police officer’s chance of getting killed by a black assailant is 18.5 times higher than the chance of an unarmed black person getting killed by a cop.
The chances are much higher now because 2019 was before the defund the police/war on police movement started.
Being woke can be summed up in two words: Intellectual Dishonesty.
You have to lie to yourself, first and foremost.
Jennifer Sey was in my graduating class in high school.
And to think that they all wanted this war in Ukraine...
The silence is deafening, isn’t it?
