Stay awake against the woke
There are two big points to make about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) suggestion that “Woke 1 was crazy.”
TL;DR
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's suggestion that 'Woke 1' was 'crazy' implies that 'Woke 2' is coming, which will be more extreme.
- Woke 1 promoted violence as speech, suppressed non-approved speech, ruined lives through cancelation, rewrote history, and challenged gender definitions.
- New features of Woke 2, advocated by socialists, include destroying the Constitution, Senate, presidency, Supreme Court, police, and immigration controls.
- The left avoids talking about the past, preferring to change it rather than confront the 'horrors of leftism'.
- Accountability in politics requires judging actions and their practical outcomes, not just idealism or promises.
- Democrats' attempts to avoid looking into past actions, like Dr. Fauci's conduct during COVID-19 or the Benghazi debacle, prevent learning from mistakes.
- Ignoring past wrongs allows perpetrators to escape accountability and increases the likelihood of repeating those wrongs.
- The truth of the past is essential for judging what people will do in the future.
