Lowry: The Woke Frenzy Isn't Coming Back

Contra Lowry: the woke frenzy isn't even gone.

The only reason someone might think it is is: it was a lot worse for a few years there.

But: Woketarianism still reigns at universities and in K-12, it's still got a grip on "journalism" and many or most other institutions, boys are still cosplaying girls and invading their sports, locker rooms and public restrooms, men are still cosplaying women and invading their sports, locker rooms and public restrooms, the influence of CRT and BLM on laws, policing, prosecution and imprisonment are still evident. Rabid pro-Hamasniks ravening through campuses and cities is a new phase of the madness.

As I've said many times: Woketarianism was Political Correctness 2.0--neo-PC. Paleo-PC reigned in universities--and began to invade "journalism"--in the late '80s. But by the late '90s it had faded away. Those of us who thought we'd won the war were wrong, wrong, wrong. It festered in the intellectually weakest parts of the academy, and burst forth into the wider culture ca. 2013. People older than me have said: it's the New Left 3.0...

Don't expect this madness to ever go away completely. Like extreme right-wing Christianity, it'll likely just come and go for a long, long time.
