Thank you for posting this declaration, the common sense of it touches my heart. I experienced a similar pandemic 'woke' shock as James Beaman, and I'm grateful. It's possible I could never have gained awareness, and I doubt 'wokeness' will take over the world because it isn't sustainable; but it is creating confusion and havoc now. I'm so glad to have found John McWhorter on Bill Maher's Real Time show, which then led me to The Glenn Show.
Cultural progress has always been built on the backs of slave labor, or close to it, because it is human nature to go for the easiest path forward. Westward expansion as told through the lens of stealing thy neighbor to build thy cathedral, or palace, or US Capitol building . . . . We impress and hold power by our edifices, but do we want to build them with our own hands? Figuring that complexity out seems to be the task of modern society moving forward.
Please expand on your thoughts here. I think you have something of interest to say, but it's not coming through for me as currently written. Thanks in advance.
