I'm a 60's lefty, noting I marched w the #BlackPanthers. As such, I have a problem w today's #RachelMaddow liberals sanctimoniously calling themselves WOKE while simultaneously endorsing identity politics, America's #unipolar foreign policy & neoliberal/neocon proxies, like #MSNBC & #Biden. WOKENESS suggests critical acumen & a discerning attitude of mind. In the 21st century, however, it's become largely synonymous w #LiberalClass (Hedges) narcissisism & sleepwalking.

I'd add that #twitter's troubles involve a historic process that's taking place which doesn't just place people 1st but which also redefines what people are. It challenges #CitizensUnited for example, which defines a #corporation as a person. It challenges the paradigm that commoditization of people is OK. It challenges the #unipolar paradigm that predatory #neoliberalism has projected to the world. It's the most subversive thing in my lifetime. It's absolutely glorious.

Generally agree except see world as essentially #unipolar.

#EU tends to look inward. Unwilling until now to recognize threats #China & #Russia pose.

After #Putin, #XiJinping is dangerous. #EU paralyzed.🤷‍♂️

In its contradictory approach to #China versus #Palestine, the political agenda of the #UnitedStates becomes crystal clear. It is not one concerned with morality and upholding human rights but one that relies on a #USA-based, #unipolar world order in which it decides who lives and who dies based on its allegiances.
