Wokeness
Description
Steve Stewart-Williams:
"At its core, Wokeness, is a moral framework that divides the world into oppressors and oppressed. The primary oppressors are White people, men, straight people, and cisgender people; the primary oppressed are people of color, women, and LGBT+ individuals. Woke or not, few deny that there’s still racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry in the world. The distinctive claim of the woke, however, is that these things are utterly pervasive. The West is a White supremacist heteronormative patriarchy, suffused with White privilege, male privilege, systemic racism, microaggressions, and so on.
But wokeness isn’t just a diagnosis; it’s an approach to remaking the world. Its prescriptions include Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives such as implicit bias training; efforts to shield people from upsetting ideas via safe spaces and trigger warnings; reverse discrimination in college admissions, hiring, and elsewhere; speech restrictions; and cancellation - that is, social or professional punishment for expressing views that, until recently, were well within the Overton window (for example, that there are two biological sexes)."
