Richard Fernandez, who writes the Belmont Club column for PJ Media, Tweets as Wretchardthecat and characterizes the “woke” movement as follows:
The reason woke demands are so outrageous is because they are meant to break your will and doubt your sanity. The objective is gaslighting not persuasion.
In this, they remind us older folk of the “nonnegotiable demands” campus radicals would present to university administrators back in the riotous 1960s. Same outrageousness, same goal.
Persuasion was never the aim. Sadly, those selfsame radicals now run (and thus ruin) the universities.
