The woke class warfare.

How Journalism Abandoned the Working Class

What explains the media's obsession with race and power? It has very little to do with social justice and everything to do with class.

That's surprising.
Now I have to decide if I bother with a Bari Weiss article.

I don't know him. It didn't have much content. But the ideas weren't bad.

I'm very surprised.
Weiss is a consistently sloppy thinker and not a particularly good writer to boot.
All right. I will check it out later.

The ideas were lazy, trying to claim that the rise in white supremacists like in Charlottesville and with Trump had nothing to do with liberals getting outraged by the rise in white supremacists.

It has some interesting insight. Her writing can be meandering and not very tight. It's probably not any worse than a meandering Rachel Maddow monologue.

Bari drew unfair criticism from more liberal NY Times colleagues and readers at the end of her tenure.

You missed the whole point of the article.

Terb: Wokeness is a diversion. It's truly about focusing on the working class.

Also Terb: Tax the Rich and Raise worker wages? FUCK NO!!!!!

I got the point of the article, it was lazy writing intended to shift blame from white supremacists onto people being worried about white supremacists.

Putin ‘is right’ in claiming the West is destroying itself through woke politics

Andrew Bolt
Nov 02, 2021

Russian President Vladimir Putin “is right” when he claims the West is destroying itself through woke politics, according to Herald Sun journalist Caleb Bond.

It comes after the Russian President gave a speech last week where he warned against the cancel culture and identity politics of the West and argued Russia had “been there already” while under communist rule.

“He makes the point about the fact that the fight for equality has sort of turned into absurdity,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“And it’s quite interesting to look at the change; I mean you look at people who went to university in the 60s, 70s, 80s, there was a fight really for free speech, there as a fight for freedom of expression and to some degree, freedom of the individual.”

Mr Bond argued the people going to university now “fundamentally” believe in the same ideas which were pushed by the left in the past, but now their strategy is to silence people they disagree with.

"The road that was paved by left-wingers of the past is now being torn up by
left-wingers supposedly in the name of the same fight that their ancestors took.”
