There’s a sickness emanating from America that seeks to contaminate all of Western civilization.
In the words of French President Emmanuel Macron, “Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States” are responsible for fomenting a wave of sentiments critical of the French Republic.
It’s beyond dispute that many of these social science theories that Macron refers to were incubated by French academics, such as Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. Subsequently, these toxic ideas were taken by American thinkers and developed into a new, malignant strain, primed to be reintroduced to Europe.
A recent example of these social sciences at work occurred in France in April. According to Politico, the National Union of Students of France, a publicly funded student union, came under fire when it was discovered that the group had been explicitly banning white members from meetings.
Britain is also dealing with a cadre of radicals intent on tearing the country apart. The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust has rebranded as The Churchill Fellowship, a move that drew some criticism. The BBC reported that “Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden told LBC radio the charity was pandering ‘to a noisy woke brigade who are trying to challenge all aspects of our history'” and a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson “urged the charity to ‘think again and not try to re-write the past’,” saying “there is a never ending political debate about who is sufficiently pure and politically correct”. (The Trust maintains the name was changed to clarify its mission and notes Churchill remains part of the new name.)

They have been woke for decades! The french just were french woke.
Was this uttered with a straight face? No, seriously. 😂😂😂🙌
The Euroweenies are worse off than we are, except for a few relatively sane countries like Poland and Hungary.
And Russia. Don’t forget Russia.
Just look at the Brits arguing about “men with cervixes.”
They can blames us for a lot, but this is a bit much.
That’s where most of this BS came from.
The Lancet just published an article about people with vaginas because women was an offensive term. Climategate originated at the University of East Anglia. Europe was woke before Americans even woke up.
Absolutely. The world can thank the mentally ill in Europe for Fascism, Socialism, and Communism.
Maybe we can export it to China and Russia; bring them to their knees.
According to a poll before the recent German election, the two most important issues that German voters want the government to deal with are (1) the virus / pandemic - which other than vaccines the government is really powerless to stop and (2) climate change - which the government really has no control of nor power to do anything about. Not exactly ‘woke’ issues but indicative of where a current electorate in Europe is.
Indeed!!
European Wokeness HAS Infected America!
