The Left realized their arguments had been beaten after Reagan cleaned their clock in the 80s. He had revived America’s economy, and defeated the USSR. The Left responded, first in the academy, and then in the broader Democratic party, by picking up and using postmodern wordgames to teach the next generation that a free society was oppressive and that this was “obvious” to all who the right “critical consciousness.” And of course, stamping out rival opinions was AKSHUALLY somehow the little guy sticking it to The Man. In the 90s, this was called “political correctness,” and it was laughed out of town. But it’s made a comeback as of late, and now it’s “Woke,” and its wordgames do to a discussion what same-pole magnets do to each other; as having the same polarity makes the magnets not connect to each other, the sleight-of-hand postmodern wordgames make logic not connect to the discussion. How does one deal with that? Ultimately, not with more logic, but with parody.
I realized something. I was hardly alone in this, of course, but it occurred to me that if you take everything they say about “white” people, remove the word “white,” then put in the word “woke,” it all becomes a hilarious description of how the Woke themselves actually operate. (That, and replacing “white people” with “Jews” renders much of woke literature into literal Nazi propaganda). I paired this with another fun concept: “Wokepipo”
Pushers of wokeness on Twitter think it’s so funny to call any white person with a contrary idea “wypipo,” so I just turned it on its head. “Wokepipo” who benefit from “Woke Supremacy” and feel “Woke Fragility” if their “Woke Privilege” is called out, by the oppressed POC (People of Conscience) who need Opinion Diversity, Opinion Equity, and Opinion Inclusion as a matter of fairness, because only systematic discrimination explains why Wokepipo run everything.
So enjoy these more lighthearted divergences from the hefty works elsewhere on this site.
