This whole woke thing started first with the feminist movement, then uniting with the gay movement to form the victim movement. I have watched it over time to the absurd lengths it has reached today. How can one tell when a bookstore is a feminist bookstore, when there is no humor section.

That's so moronic and back-to-front that it's impossible to even start...

Interesting pitch coming from our local BRICS advocate. :?

What is BRICS?
An economic block designed to challenge the Western nations. Literally, an attempt lead by China and Russia to create a "new world order".

Actually it's terrifyingly easy to create a 'new world order' with enough money and social media. I never would have believed that a few years ago or even less-- and orchestrated by only a handful of people. Govts. are really a 'red herring'. The 'in-betweeners' who put the policies into law.
Trust humans to use that power for something as moronic and vile as the 'transunicorn' movement.
I do wish someone would explain to me how Eddie Izzard is the 'most vulnerable' human alive today, and at risk of a catastrophic genocide, second only to the Holocaust itself.

Then do explain to me the proper processes that brought us to this point of insanity.

What does one have to do with the other? I wouldn't be so pro-BRICS if America was not so facist.

America is no more "fascist" than China, Russia or any other relatively more racially and culturally homogenistic society. Tribalism (the turn inward to one's "own" and away from pluralism and care for the "other") is engulfing many countries of the world right now--including many in Europe. As long as the US is in the hands of "woke" culture, then that tendency is mitigated to whatever degree.

'Mitigated'? I'm pretty sure the opposite is the case.

Why do you think the opposite is the case? I've had disagreeable run-ins with the "woke". They're not invincible, though they are also not evil.

It's certainly not about 'helping' others. It's about as self-indulgent, selfish, self-serving, shallow and narcissistic as you could get. Everything is about forcing others to abandon their own sense of what is true or not and accept whatever they tell you to accept, and to think exactly as they tell you to think--OR ELSE. That's pretty much a definition of fascisim isn't it? 1984? Ministry of Truth? Newspeak? What happens when we can't use the word 'woman' any more because it no longer means anything? The human race is going down the toilet and we are nearly past the S bend.
Humans just couldn't be satisfied with equal rights. It wasn't enough for a certain element that had everything to gain by continuing to fight for 'rights' that had already been won years ago. This is why they have come up with a whole dictionary full of meaningless, bullshit buzzterms that they fling around ad nauseum. I mean, 'trans genocide'? What the fuck?

Think about how much the world hates America, and what it would take to unite so many diverse cultures. America has been the most warlike country in the world since 1955, and world domination by any means necessary has been its program. Right now, it has put the whole world in jeopardy in its quest for world domination. America has made the same mistake as Hitler, when he believed that all that was necessary to conquer Russia was to kick its door down. Russia crushed the Nazi monster war machine, and if necessary, it will crush the American monster war machine.

'Systemic racism', 'microaggression', 'structural racism', 'Institutional racism', 'transphobia', 'diversity', 'inclusivity'..blah blah blah..all wanky non-terms that don't actually mean anything made up by wankers in academia with nothing better to do than find ways to justify their pay in their worthless jobs.
Only people can be racist. It's the same here. When a lot of people from one ethnicity die early from heart disease and cancer it's put down to 'institutional racism' and of course wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that they smoke, drink and have a terrible diet to a much greater degree than every other ethnicity...
