Such a spot on thread 👇👇👇
The good news is that reactionary centrists are engaging in some self-reflection on the excesses of the right-wing backlash to 'wokeness.'

The bad news is that they are saying it is woke people's fault.

Exactly. Reactionary movement always phrase their concerns in the most sympathetic light. "I'm not against school desegregation, I just want local parents to have a say in education!"

The idea that all of this was necessary is absurd and only serves to coddle power.

Second, the ‘threat’ of wokeness was a media fiction. Conservative and centrist publications spent years promoting ‘free speech on campus’ and ‘cancel culture’ as threats equivalent to the right’s assaults on democracy and minority rights.

First, the activist ‘overreach’ mostly consisted of low-stakes, cherry-picked anecdotes. The police were not defunded. Words were not banned. White men were not barred from college.

The backlash is responding to the *possibility* of social change, not actual change.

"There is room in society for different perspectives, and for legitimate scientific debate. But we cannot allow disinformation cloaked as science to trump the best available evidence."
Albertans deserved a post-pandemic review. Instead, they got misinformation cloaked in science
The Alberta COVID-19 Pandemic Data Review Task Force report is littered with anti-science talking points, many already debunked by fact-checkers

At a confirmation hearing, Democratic senators confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about controversial comments they said he had made in the past. Kennedy, the nominee for secretary of health and human services, either denied having said those things or said he wasn’t sure he had said them.

Don’t forget: The Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor were inspired by studying American race law.
people get consistently angry when you point out (accurately) that Germany was inspired more by the US and British concentration camps systems than Trump's camps are inspired by the Nazis.

Hitler's men literally looked at US IMMIGRATION FACILITIES as a direct inspiration for building death camps

the bad things our government is about to do are downstream of the bad things our government has done. don't give the Nazis credit for our unique history of harming vulnerable people in creative ways
