“Left Is Not Woke”

Enter Susan Neiman, an American philosopher who directs the Einstein Forum in Berlin and has authored numerous acclaimed volumes.

While Neiman is a serious scholar, her latest book, Left Is Not Woke, is a cringe-inducing screed against a group she terms “the woke”—without ever telling us whom, exactly, she is talking about. In a series of essays that often border on parody, Neiman argues that “woke” progressives have abandoned core values of the traditional Left in favor of a mélange of pessimistic relativism that reduces everyone to their identity.

I agree with Neiman. Most leftists/liberals are not interested in the woke stuff. Not against it, just not engaged with it.
 
"The book thus sets out to defend the Enlightenment against “standard contemporary readings,” which are more accurately just called critical readings. For much of the last century, the Enlightenment—a loose movement of European intellectuals in the 17th and 18th centuries who emphasized individual reason over tradition and religion—occupied a privileged place in the origin stories of liberalism."

I have to call bullshit. The left is nothing if not woke. The left IS identify politics. Leftists expect black people to vote Democrat. When they don't they aren't considered black and are called Uncle Toms. I'm not sure where you dredge up this nonsense up but even a cursory review of the political landscape in America today proves my point to anyone who is even remotely objective.

The liberal left has betrayed everything they claim to believe in and thrown in with the regressive illiberal WOKE....liberal Left such as Bret Heather and me who have refused are now enemies of the Regime, hunted and eventually my kind will be killed.

There will be no disturbing of the Solidarity.
