The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which squeaked through on a 219-210 vote, typically passes with broad bipartisan support. This time, only a handful of Democrats crossed the aisle to side with the Republicans, citing the measures targeted at abortion (it would ban military aid that’s provided to members seeking to terminate a pregnancy in another state) LGBTQ people (it would ban the military from covering gender-affirming care) and diversity (it would eliminate the military’s chief diversity officer and ban some diversity initiatives).

This woman is bravely taking legal action against the madness of #BookBanning in many American schools

This whole frenzy of #antiwokeness echos Savanarola, his religious fanatics, and their auto-da-fés. I wonder if these #RightWing fanatics know that they are replaying Florentine history? Might have to ban those history books, if they have em. It didn’t end well for Savanarola and his #ChristoFascists

I can't find discussions about #NefariousMovie that aren't gleefully touting it's #AntiWokeness.😖 Look, it is #conservative🤷‍♂️, but just ignore that.

#Nefarious2023 is an excellent taunt no-frills one-room drama/thriller between a psychologist and a maybe demonically possessed prisoner (Sean Patrick Flanery giving an outstanding performance) who is about to be executed. As a direct challenge to mainstream ideas I found it refreshing, but undercut by an overly preachy epilogue.👍

There’s a connection between the rabbit holes which anti-vaxxers and the ones Putin apologists go down into. Climate denial and hatred of Meghan is not incidental either, that’s based on misogyny, which brings us to the incel crowd…it’s all one big circle of #AntiWokeness.

So where does a conviction that there is an international woke mob trying to pull the rug underneath your feet come from?

I would suggest that it comes from within: A cynically deep-rooted view of the world that societal change can only come from squashing those who disagree.

People see the world only through their own ideas, not those of others. Not capable of understanding change otherwise, the imagination fills in the gaps with their own ideas.
