“Peak Woke”

Americans are rejecting wokeism because they finally are realizing that if they do not, they will not have a civilization left.

Wokeness was envisioned as a new reboot of the coalition of the oppressed.

Those purportedly victimized by traditional America would find “intersectional” solidarity in their victimhood owing to the supposed sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other alleged American sins, past and present.

The so-called white male heterosexual victimizing class was collectively to be held responsible for their sinful triad of white “rage,” “supremacy,” and “privilege.”

A statue of a slovenly clad black woman looks down on the city of Rotterdam with damning eyes.

Since the beginning of June, a 13 foot high bronze statue of a sloppily dressed black woman in sweatpants and sneakers towers above Rotterdam’s Central Station. In its short life, it has already managed to sharply divide the people of the Dutch port city and beyond.

Some newspapers and other media wax lyrical about this pean to multiculturalism and diversity in a city totally transformed by extra-European immigration in the space of a few decades.

Others bristle at what they consider a symbol of a state-sponsored ideology aimed at forcing the population to toe the line.

Chloe Grace Moretz agreed to star in Louis CK’s 2017 dramedy I Love You, Daddy, a plum gig for the rising star.

Once the comedian’s past reared its ugly head, the actress had a change of heart.

“I think it should just kind of go away, honestly. I don’t think it’s time for them to have a voice right now … of course, it’s devastating to put time into a project and have it disappear … but at the same time, this movement is so powerful and so progressive that I’m just happy to be in communication with everyone and to see the big change in the face of the industry, which I think is very, very real.”

IF someone isn’t a man then what are they? “A woman”? Ha – wrong answer, bigot!

According to the geniuses at John Hopkins University, this week’s correct answer is a “non-man”.

The head of the Army is considering scrapping centuries-old ranks such as Rifleman and Guardsman because they are masculine.

In an attempt to make regiments more inclusive, General Sir Patrick Sanders is poised to break hundreds of years of battlefield tradition.

Historic titles used by world-renowned Guards regiments and even his own regiment, the Rifles, could be ditched in favour of gender-neutral ranks.

Sergeant to become Bull Dyke and Lieutenant Fairy Queen?

This nauseating corporate spectacle has nothing to do with the gay-rights movement of old.

Pride used to be over and done with in a day. Now it lingers around like norovirus. And for an increasing number of lesbians and gay men like myself, it induces similar symptoms.

The whole of June is now given over to Pride Month. And just as the duration has changed, so has the tone. The parades are starting to resemble a rainbow version of the Orange March. Rather than celebrating the liberation of the oppressed, they seem designed to bully the public into supporting the movement.
