Emerging from the critical theory fever swamps, coming of age in a proliferation of intersectional “studies” sinecures where festering grievances spawned gelastic vocabularies of oppression, unleashed in a tsunami of social media madness, a new religious strike force spread terror throughout the land.
“Nobody expects the Woke Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise… surprise and fear… Our two weapons are fear and surprise… and ruthless Tweetery…. Our three weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless Tweetery… and an almost fanatical devotion to CRT… Our four… no… I’ll come in again.”
It would be a bad joke had it not cratered the credibility of institutions high and low. No one cared when it destroyed effete fields like literary criticism. But now that it’s perverting science, technology, engineering, law, and medicine the consequences have become all too real.
Only one weapon can break the spell. Mockery. Biting, unrelenting mockery leveled at the chancellors, the public intellectuals, the grifters, the opportunistic politicians and their Greek chorus in the media.
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of guffaw!
Bombard them with your barbs. Skewer them with your sarcasm. Snigger behind their backs and then, as the backlash grows, rise en masse and laugh in their faces. Against sustained scorn the Woke clerisy cannot stand.

The Equity Song
Equity – for my University
Wait and see – no more mediocrity
Now you never need to study for your test
And you’ll still get As and Bs like all the rest
Equity – its what’s best for you and me
Equity – it’s the new Equality
Now you never need to take the SAT
‘Cause your grade depends on Chromaticity
Equity – for your sexuality
Now what counts – intersectionality
So it’s not enough to be just LGB
You must add a Q, I, A and also T
Equity – it’s the modern LSD
Equity – who needs rationality?
‘Cause the feminists say logic is for men
It’s like taking too much hallucinogen
Equity – now there’s no more need to face
Reality – you can live a fantasy
If you’re looking for some pilots for your fly-by-night airline
And you’re really not judgmental if they’ve never done much flyin’
If they crash you just declare a bankruptcy – EQUITY !!!
I love it. Keep up the fight, people. The wokies sense that they have achieved critical mass in academia. The CCP, no doubt, is proud of them for implementing a system of social scorekeeping similar to their own.
