Most Americans were as indifferent to the U.S. women's soccer team's recent loss to Sweden in the Olympics as they were excited about the team's World Cup win in 2019. In between was the team's nonstop politicking, from whining about compensation to virtue-signaling their disrespect for the United States. The celebrity face of the team, perennial scold Megan Rapinoe, is going the way of teenage grouch Greta Thunberg, becoming more pinched the more she is tuned out.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Marie Khan-Cullors Brignac used her corporate grifting to buy four homes. The one she bought in California's Topanga Canyon is surrounded by a new $35,000 security fence.
Critical race theory guru Ibram X. Kendi offers virtual, one-hour workshops for $20,000 a pop. He is franchising woke re-education kits -- in between bouts of damning capitalism as a catalyst of racism.
The woke movement is a slicker, more sophisticated and far more grandiose version of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's shakedowns of the 1990s. Those, at least, were far more honest in leveraging cash with charges of racism -- and came without the academic gobbledygook of critical race theory.

But Hanson makes a good point - they are not only hypocritical but incompetent with their hopes vested in a “leader” who is hopelessly senile. There are far too many of us for them to beat us down and we have individuality, resilience and creativity as well as core beliefs in God and country, characteristics of which the monoliths are devoid.
Don’t woke me……but please wake me when it’s all over.
Been posting just that here at FR for a looong time.

Africanization and rationalizing away reasons some are unequal
American Marxism
I wasn't indifferent at all.
I was thrilled that they lost. Same for the men's basketball loss to France.
I'd like to know how many copies of Sports Illustrated's latest swimsuit edition were sold - you know, the one with a tranny on the cover.
Did SI really think a tranny was every red-blooded male's ideal fantasy? The men in my family were disgusted.
Yep...Fabian socialists have been infiltrating and infecting the nation’s classrooms for over a hundred years.
Compared to 10-20 years or more ago.
The many weak ganging up the few strong or “Communism”.
They are trying to create a society where the low IQ crowd can “make it” despite being “held down” by the white male.
Woke works for the deep state, just another part of the civilian army
What is American Wokeness Really About?
Weak minded people uniting in search of utopia that doesn’t exist.
