Context: 'Woke-ism is the colloquial term used for the postmodern tactic of reducing scientific objectivity to subjective authoritarianism, imposing its arbitrary interpretation of what is acceptable,' said Widdowson in a statement. 'The open exchange of ideas and the ability to debate a wide range of topics are under threat in universities today. Promoting critical thinking has been gradually overtaken by identity politics that has become totalitarian, which is the focus of woke-ism... Any professor who challenges the sacred cows of woke-ism will be ostracized and then eventually targeted for dismissal'. https://westernstandardonline.com/2022/04/mru-professor-fights-back-after-being-fired-for-questioning-woke-ideas/ #CatchcryFreedomAcademic #TheoryModernPost #PoliticsAuthoritarianism #CatchcryCriticalThinking #CatchcryIdentityPolitics #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracyTotalitarianism #NarrativeTruthImmutableUniversalIncontrovertibleAbsolute

While most Republicans have been vocal champions of U.S. efforts to support Ukraine, some in the party's far-right flank -- Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) or Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), for instance -- have been more equivocal in their stance and have at times gone as far as to echo Russian talking points. Cawthorn drew intense criticism earlier this month after he described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a 'thug.' That comment drew a rebuke from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) who called Cawthorn's remark 'wrong.'" #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPMarjorieTaylorGreeneMTG & #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPMadisonCawthorn

Refusing the very existence of scientificity and objectivity, these radical progressives consider, like #IndivPhilosopherMichelFoucault, that existing knowledge is a production of power, therefore unrelated to knowledge. Therefore, it is the identity of power that must be questioned. It is from this assumption that the meritocratic-universalist discourse can be deconstructed, for it would only be the rhetorical facade of a power held by white men to maintain their social positions, while shamelessly discriminating against minorities in everything. kind."

"Woke in its initial inception meant political consciousness for Black people about the histories of anti-Blackness in this [USA] country and globally rather than this kind of more generalised political consciousness that it came to take up. One thing that I think is a very common misunderstanding about woke is the idea that it was derived from this phrase 'stay woke'. Woke itself is a standalone word. It's a word that conforms to the syntactic and phonological, which is to say that the sound system and grammatical principles, of African American English which has its origins in the South. 'Awake' is synonymous with 'woke' right, so one might say, 'I was woke about, let's say 7am'. The idea of 'wakefulness' as a concept referring to political consciousness stretches as far back as 1923, and then we see it going all the way up through the 1980s. Marcus Garvey in 'The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey' in the frame of what we might think of as black nationalist tradition where he says, 'wake up Ethiopia, wake up Africa, let us work towards the one end of a glorious and redeemed and mighty nation', he's talking about political consciousness in the same way as Laurence Fishburne's character at the end of 'School Daze' in the 1980s film. In 1962, a New York Times article by a guy named [William] Melvin Kelley 'If You're Woke You Dig It' writing about cultural appropriation and linguistic appropriation of Black language and culture by white people, specifically. As early as the 1990s or the late 1980s, you see it more attached to the idea of 'political correctness'. This is the point of which white people I would suggest, begin using it reflexively. And so it doesn't now just have the meaning of thinking about anti-Blackness from the perspective of someone who experiences it. More now it refers to this more general sense of awareness, as a marker of general political consciousness attention to such issues as those environmental, feminists, regarding ability and so on. Childish Gambino's song 'Redbone', canonised the phrase 'stay woke' for a popular audience. While Childish Gambino might understand that 'wokeness', at least in its original inception, has a lot to do with our awareness of anti-Black oppression. Listeners to the song from a variety of demographics all over the world aren't abreast of that history and now are using it, the phrase, in a way that destroys its meaning. But it has also been taken up more recently by conservatives. And it became used in a negative or pejorative fashion, right or at least one that is mocking or sarcastic. In fact, it's a well-known and popular tactic of conservatives to pick up and shift the meanings of individual terms, to then weaponize them. Mark Milley and Matt Gaetz arguing about what's woke and what isn't, whether it's good or whether it's bad, where that has nothing to do with the case of the Scottsboro Boys or Emmett Till or Trayvon Martin or Sandra Bland or Rodney King or Ahmaud Arbery or Breonna Taylor or George Floyd. I'm not suggesting that it's necessarily a conscious process, but it's the result of the kind of consumption of Black culture, which has always had a lot of capital purchase in the United States and pop culture globally."

And #WebsiteVoxAjaRomano: "Before 2014, the call to 'stay woke' was, for many people, unheard of. The idea behind it was common within Black communities at that point -- the notion that staying 'woke' and alert to the deceptions of other people was a basic survival tactic. But in 2014, following the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, 'stay woke' suddenly became the cautionary watchword of Black Lives Matter activists on the streets, used in a chilling and specific context : keeping watch for police brutality and unjust police tactics."

Supplementary: "Conflict theorists view social structure as inherently unequal, based on power differentials related to issues like class, gender, race, and age. For a conflict theorist, culture is seen as reinforcing issues of 'privilege' for certain groups based upon race, sex, class, and so on. Women strive for equality in a male-dominated society. Senior citizens struggle to protect their rights, their health care, and their independence from a younger generation of lawmakers. ...
Conflict theorists believe that a society's system of material production has an effect on the rest of culture. People who have less power also have less ability to adapt to cultural change. This view contrasts with the perspective of functionalism. In the U.S. culture of capitalism, to illustrate, we continue to strive toward the promise of the American dream, which perpetuates the belief that the wealthy deserve their privileges." https://courses.lumenlearning.com/sociology/chapter/theoretical-perspectives-on-culture/ i.e. #PhenomnWealthInequality #TheorySociologyConflictTheory #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive #_Focal

"It has already been four months since the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Frédérique Vidal, V announced an investigation into Islamo-leftism at universities. Since this date, no official communication on the announced report. As if the loud cries uttered, from petitions to press releases, by hundreds of academics, Conference of University Presidents (CPU) and CNRS in the lead, in the name of academic freedom and the non-existence of said Islamo-leftism arguments which, moreover, were contradictory - had immediately overcome the ministerial concern. Further: instead of being content with this discreet burial, some protesters have just filed an appeal before the Council of State against the initiative of Frédérique Vidal, wishing, it seems, to make him pay for his initial desire. Unless the very recent and discreet signal from the ministry (the work continues) has reignited their fear? Regardless, this excess of outraged virtue proves counterproductive. Courageous voices (Pascal Bruckner, Pierre-André Taguieff, Philippe d'Iribarne, Nathalie Heinich, Mathieu Bock-Côté, among others), are rising to denounce the ongoing intellectual and political drift. A report from the Observatory of Decolonialism and Identity Ideologies, composed of academics, has just, given the ministerial silence, drawn up an edifying inventory: themes of conferences, titles of works and articles, job profiles or calls for projects show the impressive penetration of the new progressive science into French research. Because this movement goes far beyond Islamo-leftism alone. In fact, it aims to be, according to its own words, 'intersectional', that is to say, pointing out the convergence of <discriminations>>>> based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, ability physical, etc. However, far from being in the minority as it readily presents itself, the intersectional paradigm, as the Observatory of Decolonialism has just calculated, weighs no less than half of the items listed in the databases. in social sciences. Not that these themes should be rejected a priori: the question of gender, the history of slavery or the mental remnants of colonization are important and legitimate objects of study; but it is another thing to make it the exclusive reading prism of 'The affectio societatis, that is to say the common desire to associate, a condition of society, is filled by the denunciation of the fantasized mechanisms of 'domination' which seem to govern all human relationships. our societies.

So many breaches of the three rules of interpretation, decreed by the American epistemologist Hayden White, nevertheless one of the beacons of intellectual postmodernity: conformity to the facts, coherence." #IndivScholarPascalBruckner #IndivScholarPierreAndreTaguieff #OrgCentreNationalDeLaRechercheScientifiqueCNRSPhilippeDIribarne #IndivScholarNathalieHeinich #IndivScholarMathieuBockCote #PhenomnColonialismDe #AdvocacyFRLObservatoireDuDecolonialisme i.e. https://www.arretsurimages.net/articles/lobservatoire-du-decolonialisme-faux-think-tank-vrai-media-dopinion #OtheringDiscrimination #IndivHistorianHaydenWhite i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_White #TheoryModernPost

"To be honest, the biggest threat to biologists right now. as I see it. are trans activists. Back when evolution was under attach from Creationists and Intelligent Design proponents. academics were under no pressure to hold back our criticisms of them. This is because these anti-evolution movements were almost exclusively a product of conservative evangelicals. But now we have a big problem. because anti-evolutionism is back, but it's coming from the Left in the form of denial of gender or sex differences in humans. I can't tell you how many people I hear say "sex is a social construct". now. And what's frightening is that I am hearing this come from biologists too. There is a growing number of biologists, mostly younger graduate students, that put their activism before their biology. And as a biologist myself, I can't even comprehend how anyone can deny the realiry of biological sex and claim to be a biologist. It's insane. There are many articles out now that seem to be trying to disseminate the idea that biologists don't really know what we're talking about regarding sex. They obfuscate things. and say that it's all just so complex. What they're essentially doing is describing how complex the developmental processes leading to males, females. and intersex people are, and then claiming that this complexiry means we have no clue what sex really is. They fail to mention that the end products of development are unambiguously male or female over 99.9. of the time. I wouldn't be able to do my job as an evolutionary biologist if sex weren't a real biological phenomenon. Yet I could lose my job for stating these plain facts. Combating evolution denial wasn't a problem when it was coming from the Right, but I apparently can't defend my own field now because this denialism is now coming from the Left. Aren't I supposed to be a science educator? Isn't outreach supposed to be part of my job? Now I can't even defend my own field without fear of losing my job. Unbelievable.
And I must note that I am quite liberal and support trans people and their rights entirely. But if jettisoning the reality of biological sex is necessary for me to be a good ally, then I can never be a good ally. I can never subordinate truth to narrative, and we shouldn't have to." #TheoryDeterminismBiologicalGenetic #BeliefCreationism #ReasoningAnalogicalIntelligentDesignID #TheoryDarwinismNaturalSelection #BeliefChristianityDenomEvangelicalism

The clip seeks to promote the book: 'Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity', authored by #IndivAuthorHelenPluckrose and Lindsay.
Seemingly, "Cynical Theories is a melodramatic book. Pluckrose and Lindsay guide the reader through postmodernism's metamorphosis as it transforms into the 'applied postmodernism' of the '80s and '90s--comprising the new fields of postcolonial theory, queer theory, critical race theory, gender studies, feminist studies, disability studies, and fat studies--which eventually gives rise to the most dangerous of all postmodernism's transmutations, the 'reified postmodernism' Pluckrose and Lindsay sometimes refer to as 'Social Justice scholarship.'" https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-cynical-theorists-behind-cynical-theories/ #IndivPhilosopherJeanFrancoisLyotard, #IndivPhilosopherJacquesDerrida and #IndivPhilosopherMichelFoucault #IndivScholarRichardDawkins, #IndivAuthorGloriaJeanWatkinsAKABellHooks, #IndivScholarAnthonyGraylingAKAACGrayling #NarrativeUtopiaWokeLiberal #OrgClassifPPCNChineseCommunistPartyCCP Cultural #PhenomnRevolution #PoliticsCommunism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #CharacterisationWeakness #TauntGaslighting #IndivAuthorShelbySteele #PowerControlSegregationJimCrowLaws

@AlbertoBarriner [name pseudonymized]: Watch this, for a perfect breakdown of "#postmodernist" thinking, and why it is so toxic and dangerous. The "#woke" culture is a fast track to global #Fascism.

Couched ideologically as a choice between a supposed 'traditional' / #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive alternative i.e. supposed #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues and a menacing and pernicious #TheoryModernPost i.e. #TheoryModernPostConservatism, that is seemingly on the rise - as a unified force of change. #PodcastChBaggageClaimManishaUsluca
