But seeing as it's Julie, I'll let her off and, if she's reading, I hope her health is improving. Great read, and I'm so happy that we live in the context of these times where this article can so lightly and cheerfully written by such an author.
Good times indeed. Although the article feels to me like a joyous little victory lap around the kitchen table it did make me think about some things. The whole woke progressive identity critial theory movement is all forced teaming.
No one oppression can exist without being tied into all these other oppressions. The idea of forced teaming was to lift an unpopular idea e.
It worked for a while, but I wonder if the "geniuses" who refined and went all in on forced teaming thought the tactic through? The way Julie says " reject woke" suggests to me that the forced teaming means all of woke is getting dragged down together. The components of woke have been so tightly welded together by forced teaming they are now indivisible.
The whole edifice is coming down, nothing will be left standing. Dentons may have a lot to answer for, including indirectly helping orange man bad live in The White House. This is true but not because of forced teaming but because so much woke is based on the same ideologies and theories: your identity group is the key fact about you, and perceived power hierarchies and the use of oppression based on this. And lived experience trumps reality. I think many on the left still don't see this and think the trans stuff is a separate aberration or madness.
