Whither Woke Culture in an Era of Pandemic? What effect might this plague have on the Left’s pampered soy boys and pussy-hat feminists?

Last week, in the New York Post, Kyle Smith made a thoughtful argument that, in the COVID-19 era, “the woke virus,” too, “is spreading faster than ever.” He quoted a statement on Twitter by actress Fran Drescher that the Chinese virus is a product of capitalism; he noted the “vomitatious ‘Imagine’ video praising open borders, socialism and atheism” that was posted online by Gal Gadot and other C-list celebrities in response to the pandemic; and he cited inane claims by various activists that the coronavirus disproportionately disadvantages women or people of color. “Next year,” Smith concluded, “there will probably be a vaccine for coronavirus. But there will never be an inoculation for woke stupidity.”

They've already started with the victimitis. Race, climate directed, poor, anyone who isn't a WASP will be "woke" to the victimhood. Denied medical, financial blah, blah, blah. You know it's true.

The new meme today is we have to get rid of the horrible paper money. According to one of the founders at Paypal who has absolutely no financial stake in that were it to occur. LOL

He stated that the only people who use it are criminals and tax cheats and that all transactions being tracked is a good thing.

The surveillance state is out in full force.

Let’s not start bashing Italians, now!

About an hour ago I was thinking about the poor sad Leftist's plight.

Reusable bags - out
Plastic bags - in
Global warming - who gives a rip
Trump bashing - < laughed at and ridiculed
Joe Biden - the best and brightest demoⁿⁱcRat
Colleges - students for Trump everywhere
President Trump - best approval ratings ever
President Trump - demoⁿⁱcRat governor of California singing his praises.
Bernie Sanders - history again!
Blame for COVID-19 actions - no traction

All the silly things they can think up - Don't bother us LOL

It may be in hiding but it’s not going away...just biding its time. Lori Lightfoot was asked today why racial stats are not being released with the death rates. The NYT published an op-ed saying that the racial overtones of this crisis are a “ticking time bomb” since black people are more likely to suggest from diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.

I am one.

They kill me on this board but I always laugh about it :)

I’m a Staten Island Italian.

A throwback to the 80s Italians.

Now you CANT tell a WOP from a WASP in most places anymore :)

Let’s hope this crisis jolts the Spoiled Brat generations into reality.

A silver lining is the banning of reusable bags and bringing back of single use plastic bags. Even in San Franshitco!

Turns out the people saying reusable bags are unsanitary were right all along.

Bump just for the LOTR reference.

My uncle by marriage was Antony Picciano. He visited the home place near Naples in WW II and again in 75.

Environmentalists are slobbering over the demonstration of power. And they’re already printing, “We have a crisis, a bigger crisis, and we need to do the same to save the world.”
