| Wokeism shows all the hallmarks of a cult or organized religion, and it's being spearheaded by academia: - Strict adherence to dogmas (_eg all whites are racist, not dating trans is transphobic_), under penalty of excommunication (_banished from academia and/or society_). - Dissent is not permitted (_if you deny it, you must be racist/bigot/transphobic_). - Cult of the leader as individual (_eg BLM founders, the Squad_), while at the same time arguing the group is paramount. - Sacraments (eg _struggle sessions, street performances_). - Colleges as main places of cult. Pilgrimages to holy places (_eg police brutality incidents_). - Saints (eg _George Floyd_). Academia is funded by the state via: - Grants to projects not necessarily resulting in any benefit, apparent or not, to society. Projects lead by professors not teaching. - Loans to students, knowing well many won't be able to pay in years, if at all, which end in the pockets of colleges. |
