Corrie Mooney is a brilliant thinker and writer. I love his line, "The Royal Navy stopping the slave trade…" Enough said: the west has been ahead for thousands of years and it is where solutions are found. The west and its democracies aren't perfect but have made the modern world. In contrast, the woke, to quote Corrie, "are patching over problems that they do not know how to solve. This leads them to believing that objectivity is not accessible; therefore any truth can be substituted in." a good example is the nonexistent secret child graves dug by murderous nuns and priests in Kamloops. "They don’t really care about the facts that are presented to them; they care about their narrative winning." Ultimately, they won't win because they only peddle nonsense, resentment, and falsehoods.
A couple of years ago I got run out of my job for objecting to woke language censorship the newly-formed DEI committee implemented in our Slack chat. One of my objections was that this made no difference in the real world to actual oppressed people whatsoever. I suppose they would have said that by training us to use different words they would eliminate oppression altogether somehow, as words create reality.

A helpful collection for orienting oneself in this debate. Thank you.
