And I might even agree that the institutions need serious shakeup. I violently disagree, however, that bullshit wokeism is the issue. In fact, the neoliberalism that has evacuated all the money to like 6 billionaires is the root of the issue, and both dems and repukes are responsible for it. This country is a wasteland for just about anyone below the mid-to-upper middle class. If school doesnt bankrupt you, childcare, elder care, and healthcare will.
We have NO ONE looking out for us. No protection from multinational polluters and data harvesters, no protection from gun violence, from climate catastrophes, and on it goes. Even though we BEG for it. The courts dont care. The pols dont care. The pageant of this entire country plays out in the thin atmospheres of wealth and extreme wealth. We are nothing but fleas to them. I get how a fucking republican would listen to an idiot blaming all the ills on wokeism. So much easier to demonize.
EDIT: And FUCK the NYT for not taking apart this guys framing of the issue from the get go.
