The “ #Skeptics ” Are Crashing Out HARD
When people who claim to be defending #science and #rationalthinking are calling for the #censoreship of scientific fields of research that irritate their often blinf #ideological spot or the dismantling of programs aiming at increasing #diversity in #sciences, if they are supporting #authoritarianism and #totalitarian regimes, you know they are they have everything but a scientific agenda. #antiwoke #ExtremeRightWing

The Trump Coalition is Cracking:
"Nathan Cofnas, a #rightwing philosophy professor and self-described “race realist” fixated on group differences in I.Q., wrote on X, “All over the world, almost everyone with more than half a brain is looking at the disaster of #Trump (along with #Putin, Yoon Suk #Yeol, et al.) and drawing the very reasonable conclusion that right-wing, #antiwoke parties are incapable of effective governance.” (Yoon Suk Yeol is South Korea’s recently impeached president.)

Scott Siskind, who blogs under the pseudonym Scott Alexander, has been an influential figure in #SiliconValley’s revolt against #socialjustice ideology, though he’s never been a Trump supporter. Last week, he asked whether “edgy heterodox centrists” like himself paved the way for Trump by opening the door to once-verboten arguments. In an imaginary Socratic dialogue, he wrote, “We wanted a swift, lean government that stopped strangling #innovation and infrastructure. Instead we got chain-saw-style firings, total devastation of state capacity in exactly the way most likely to strangle innovation more than ever, and the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies.”

Marc Maron speaks on one of the troubling aspects of today's "political discourse" is the gateway to the #NewFascism has partially emerged from the flanks of #AntiWoke #Comedy ...

Maron:"The anti- woke flank of the new fascism is being driven almost exclusively by #comics, my peers. Whether or not they are self- serving or true believers in the new fascism is unimportant. They are of the movement. Whether they see themselves as acolytes or just comics doesn't matter. Whether they are driven by the idea that what they are fighting for is a free speech issue or whether they are truly morally bankrupt #racists doesn't matter. They are part of the public face of a #fascist political movement that seeks to destroy the democratic idea.’

Jon Stewart dijo algo muy incómodo porque creo que tiene razón.

La reunión entre Zelenskyy y Trump no fue algo improvisado. Fue el momento cúlmine que usaron los republicanos y MAGA para dar vuelta 80 años de política exterior.

Fue algo que estuvieron construyendo durante décadas.

Y lo hicieron por cuestiones estéticas: les gusta Putin y no les gustan los europeos.

Consideran a Rusia viril, blanca y antiwoke, Y la admiran.

Ellos (MAGA et all) se consideran Occidente. Europa no.

MAGA y los republicanos que apoyan a Trump desprecian a Europa, a quien creen decadente. Desprecian la democracia. Y son profundamente antiwoke y racistas.

El 28 de febrero, fue la culminación de su proyecto.

Vamos a la 3ra guerra mundial y el conflicto es Woke / Anti Woke.

Lo pensás, y todas esas esvásticas, toda esa tonteria de Elon y demas empieza a cerrar y tener sentido.

Y lo dijeron hace años. Nosotros no lo escuchamos.

X (formerly Twitter)Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) on XSteve Bannon and Erik Prince say we should be supporting Russia because Putin is anti-woke and has no tolerance for LGBTQ.

Totally agree with this. Trump supporters are the true defenders of political correctness, only that this correctness has a very peculiar meaning this time - namely witch-hunting and NeoMcCartysm.

"What we call “wokeness” is a very real phenomenon, and as this magazine has pointed out repeatedly, it is both annoying and genuinely damaging. For the past decade, neoliberal Democrats have been particularly insufferable in wielding it as a weapon to advance pro-corporate politics, whether it’s Hillary Clinton saying that breaking up the big banks wouldn’t end racism and sexism, or MSNBC anchors and politicians like Barack Obama endlessly complaining about Bernie Sanders being a white man who didn’t talk enough about race and gender.

But what we’re seeing take shape in Trump’s second term is not the antidote to that; it’s that exact same cynical strategy, only flipped on its head. While Democrats turned to woke rhetoric to defend corporations and push neoliberal policies that benefit their bottom lines, Trump and his people resort to equally lazy “anti-woke” rhetoric to do the same thing.

In each case, the basic assumption is the same: you are a gullible rube who will fall for this obvious play and promptly forget that they’re working against your interests. Prove them wrong."

jacobin.comTrump Is Ripping Off America and Calling It “Anti-Woke”The Trump team has hit on what it thinks is a winning formula: every time it wants to rip Americans’ health care away or let a predatory corporation off the hook, it just says it’s fighting “wokeness” or “DEI.” It’s lazy, cynical stuff.

Continued thread

'I don’t think an opinion adhering to institutional conventions can be considered an “unpopular take.” Positioning it as unpopular masks a common opinion as marginalised. This type of perception skewing is reminiscent of Christian conservatives claiming God-fearing values are under attack despite Christianity dominating every echelon of American society.'

here: No matter what substantive issue I’m engaging on, whether it’s Hungary’s continued dependence upon Vladimir Putin for its energy supply despite intensive efforts to encourage them to diversify or the independence of the judiciary in Hungary, the way that the Hungarian government tries to respond and publicly contextualize our critique is by making it somehow about woke, liberal, Democratic activists. I remember my very first meeting with a senior Hungarian official, a really nice guy, but he began the meeting by saying, Ambassador, I know that you want to speak to us about L.G.B.T.Q. issues and gender ideology. And I actually had to interrupt the guy and say, No, actually, I want to speak to you about your relationship with Vladimir Putin. So I think that the language that they used was to encode the critique in a frame of, “This is L.G.B.T.Q.” — in their words — “ideology infecting our society,” even if what was generating the legitimate political concern didn’t have much to do with L.G.B.T.Q. issues at all.

The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers

salon.com/2025/01/17/the-tech-

pretending it's about masculinity is a good way to distract from the mundane fact that, like a stereotypical capitalist parasite, Zuckerberg has adopted a hostile posture towards his own workers. Perhaps, like so many of the hyper-rich before him, he doesn't like being reminded that, without his staff, he would be nothing…

Walter Inglis, Presbyterian missionary, speaks of “plunder and slaughter” by Dutch migrants to Africa. Christian missionaries could not be cajoled into silence, witnessed to the world.

Today, have too many in the church “cajoled” themselves into silence about plunder and slaughter? That the Office of the Keys is about sins that happen in the bedroom, and clergy are to focus on the Primacy of the Gospel?

How can you give testimony to the world?
