-Great Cultural Revolution

Insightful remark of the year. The wokies did what they always did, but the moment they crossed the line and began doing it to Jews instead of whites, that was too far and he tide turned.

If you're on X, you should subscribe to this account. It's consistently one of the best on the whole platform. Constantly showing the receipts and taking the wokies to the woodshed. If you're not on X, you should join. It's a new ballgame. Not like the old Twitter at all.

The most underrated observation about the Great Awokening is that its success (and intensity) was due largely to the election of Donald Trump and the resulting unwillingness of reasonable liberals to criticize it because everything on the left had become one big binary choice...

… one big binary choice between whether you were with Trump or against him, and many otherwise woke-hesitant/critical libs understood that even nuanced criticisms of woke excesses would automatically cast them with the bad guys in the eyes of their compatriots on the left. It just wasn't worth the risk. And so few of them spoke out against it until campus anti-Semitism after 10/7 gave them cultural and political "permission" to do so.

#4 Actually a lot of the woke hesitant lefties have not taken a stand against the anti semitic riots and intimidation that goes on daily in Universities and other leftist institutions.

and when they do criticize it is frequently perfunctory or they mix in some anti Islamophobia stuff

#3 The thing about the Jews being the canary in the coal mine is not necessarily that it happens to them first, but that it takes going that far before anyone speaks up at all. Be grateful, Fat Bob Untervehr8471, that there are canaries cheeping in your coal mine before you’re all killed off, instead of afterward.

#2 The important thing to remember is that most allies are just for now.

#1 The wages of sin are death. Filling universities with people below average IQ is a sin.
