Poilievre just added another plank to his Trump 2.0 agenda | Canada's National Observer: Climate News nationalobserver.com/2025/04/1 “Similarly, #Poilievre’s #antiwoke musings about the civil service and university funding is another hugely disturbing proposal. It should go without saying that universities should be the ultimate refuge for #freespeech and research funding should be awarded on the basis of merit, free from bias of the day’s political ideology.”

Canada's National Observer · Poilievre just added another plank to his Trump 2.0 agendaConservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is cherry-picking aggressive policies from the Trump regime that undermine the law and free speech.

The “ #Skeptics ” Are Crashing Out HARD
When people who claim to be defending #science and #rationalthinking are calling for the #censoreship of scientific fields of research that irritate their often blind #ideological spot or the dismantling of programs aiming at increasing #diversity in #sciences, if they are supporting #authoritarianism and #totalitarian regimes, you know they are they have everything but a scientific agenda. #antiwoke #ExtremeRightWing

“On the meta-level, having that as a positively asserted community value would have made it far more difficult for the Marxists/wokies to do their entryism thing. They would have been recognized as a fundamentally toxic phenomenon sooner. Failure of leadership on my part. …on this I screwed up, and I feel bad about it.” — @esrtweet ( x.com/esrtweet/status/18868943 )

“One of my regrets about my years of being Mr. Famous Guy, when I had maximum leadership leverage, is that I didn't foresee the political threat to open source.
I thought it was enough to be apolitical, invite everybody to be part of our development community, and that everybody would continue to keep politics out of the coding. Including even my own libertarian politics.
If I had known what was coming, I would have made a big deal about insisting that the open source community had to have one positive political value: free speech and opposition to censorship. That would have been justified on the object level, because we can't function when those political conditions are violated.” — @esrtweet (x.com) @esrtweet

here: No matter what substantive issue I’m engaging on, whether it’s Hungary’s continued dependence upon Vladimir Putin for its energy supply despite intensive efforts to encourage them to diversify or the independence of the judiciary in Hungary, the way that the Hungarian government tries to respond and publicly contextualize our critique is by making it somehow about woke, liberal, Democratic activists. I remember my very first meeting with a senior Hungarian official, a really nice guy, but he began the meeting by saying, Ambassador, I know that you want to speak to us about L.G.B.T.Q. issues and gender ideology. And I actually had to interrupt the guy and say, No, actually, I want to speak to you about your relationship with Vladimir Putin. So I think that the language that they used was to encode the critique in a frame of, “This is L.G.B.T.Q.” — in their words — “ideology infecting our society,” even if what was generating the legitimate political concern didn’t have much to do with L.G.B.T.Q. issues at all.

The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers

salon.com/2025/01/17/the-tech-

pretending it's about masculinity is a good way to distract from the mundane fact that, like a stereotypical capitalist parasite, Zuckerberg has adopted a hostile posture towards his own workers. Perhaps, like so many of the hyper-rich before him, he doesn't like being reminded that, without his staff, he would be nothing…

Here Come The Anti-Woke Venture Capitalists

A group called New Founding that says its “birthright is to lead Western civilization” is among firms (like 1789 Capital) building a new VC blueprint — and billionaire Marc Andreessen is in.

New Founding led by Nate Fischer has only raised $3mil (so far)

"More often than not, the ultimate “victim” of the offenses denounced in the German press is no actual Jewish person, but only the German state."

"The story [of guilt and fragility] is not about Germany, but a certain segment of society, about the reactionary radicalization within a bubble of political and cultural elites: disproportionately white, disproportionately identified with existing institutions, and disproportionately—let’s face it—neither Jewish nor Palestinian. It is among such people that we can see a defiant reprovincialization of the German spirit: a pride in not understanding or participating in analogous debates that rage elsewhere, a perverse pride in imposing one’s own categories, as though historical guilt confers true expertise."

n+1 · Psychozionism | Adrian DaubThese are the characteristic language games of the German right: and now politicians across the spectrum make these seemingly baffling connections, and a much larger swath of voters and journalists than before seem to accept them as logical and plausible. When white, non-Jewish Germans try to imagine the fear felt by their Jewish neighbors and friends, they instead paint a vivid picture of their own; that they themselves might figure in their Jewish compatriots’ fears is not a possibility they find worth contemplating.

#RishiSunak would have more sympathy from me about being on the receiving end of #racism if he hadn't had the nerve to misrepresent #Badenoch's bigoted anti-wokery culture war nonsense as a freedom of speech issue.

The Guardian · Nigel Farage ‘has questions to answer’ over Reform racism, says Rishi SunakBy Rowena Mason

The rich & the powerfull have always known what the true source of power over the masses is: Control the #narrative

What post-structuralist, #postmodern tools of analysis did, was to level the playing field of that equation. It was fine as long as they still controlled the media though.

But with the internet, especially 1990’s and early 2000’s that changed. Suddenly the narrative changed to environmentalism, equanimity & anti-capitalism.

Now they deal in #antiwoke and defunding the humanities
