Cooking Up Social Justice: How Activist Scholars Cooked up Wokeness in Academia.

Explaining what Critical Social Justice (AKA woke) activists believe can be very difficult. Part of the reason for this is that wokeness pulls so many ideas from so many different thinkers that to the average person wokeness looks like a pile of contradictions. It can be difficult for the typical person to make sense of wokeness precisely because many of the ideas that wokeness uses appear to contradict each other: They claim to be anti-racist but they focus intensely on race. They claim to be on favor of womens’ rights, but their definition of “woman” includes people who have male genitalia. They say not to force your views on them, and then demand everyone accept their worldview and ideology. Given all of this the average person looks at wokeness and often wonders “how can anyone make sense of this?”Source: https://wokaldistance.substack.com/p/co ... w-activist
