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.
