While progressives have declared themselves shocked at how easily conservatives seem to have given up on democracy,35 that shock is mutual, as conservatives have been stunned by how willing progressives have been to sacrifice the biological reality of sex, and thus the foundation of life.

For the past three years, Fox News has been obsessed with “wokeness.” Since the aftermath of GeorgeFloyd’s murder by police in May 2020, Fox News personalities and guests have applied the label “woke” toa staggeringly wide array of topics. Few entities have escaped the network's demonization, from themilitary to M&M’s, New York prep schools to NASCAR, social media to mall Santas.The progression of “woke” from its origins in the Black community to its eventual status as a conservativedog whistle has been well-documented, yet right-wing media — including Fox News — can’t seem to settleon a definition. However, the lack of a clear definition hasn’t stopped Fox from indiscriminately throwing“woke” at hundreds of things.The problem is a two-way street: Fox personalities struggle to define “woke” because they have attributedthe term to nearly everything under the sun, stripping it of any meaningful definition and surrendering itto right-wing dog whistles. In doing so, Fox News has solidified the word’s status as a derisive catch-all foranything involving marginalized groups or progressive policies, arguably increasing its effectiveness as ameans of inspiring outrage among its audience.Here is a list of over 200 things Fox News personalities, guests, and writers have called “woke.”

First, the so-called normal distribution of statistics assumes that there are default humans who serve as the standard that the rest of us can be accurately measured against.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

What has happened, I think, is relatively simple: A critical mass of the staff and management at New York Magazine and Vox Media no longer want to associate with me, and, in a time of ever tightening budgets, I’m a luxury item they don’t want to afford. And that’s entirely their prerogative. They seem to believe, and this is increasingly the orthodoxy in mainstream media, that any writer not actively committed to critical theory in questions of race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity is actively, physically harming co-workers merely by existing in the same virtual space. Actually attacking, and even mocking, critical theory’s ideas and methods, as I have done continually in this space, is therefore out of sync with the values of Vox Media. That, to the best of my understanding, is why I’m out of here. Two years ago, I wrote that we all live on campus now. That is an understatement. In academia, a tiny fraction of professors and administrators have not yet bent the knee to the woke program — and those few left are being purged. The latest study of Harvard University faculty, for example, finds that only 1.46 percent call themselves conservative. But that’s probably higher than the proportion of journalists who call themselves conservative at the New York Times or CNN or New York Magazine. And maybe it’s worth pointing out that “conservative” in my case means that I have passionately opposed Donald J. Trump and pioneered marriage equality, that I support legalized drugs, criminal-justice reform, more redistribution of wealth, aggressive action against climate change, police reform, a realist foreign policy, and laws to protect transgender people from discrimination. I was one of the first journalists in established media to come out. I was a major and early supporter of Barack Obama. I intend to vote for Biden in November.

She was not his spouse; instead, she was the political officer of the Communist Party of China and she was embedded in the school. In fact, the university is full of political officers who operate behind the scenes but are there to keep party discipline. Today, companies like Nike, Google, Microsoft and others don’t need a communist party to impose their own totalitarian-like discipline upon workers.

The way you have to term everything just right. And if you don’t term it right you discriminate them. It’s like everybody is going to be in the know of what people call themselves now and some of us just don’t know. But if you don’t know then there is something seriously wrong with you.
