The Woke Cult: James Lindsay on the Babylon Bee

The story about the Trans guy at work is alarming. If an employer is running these sensitivity trainings the employee will feel compelled to say what they believe the employer wants to hear. But then if you say you’re racist, sexist, and transdysphoric or whatever you make your work relationships awkward to the point where the minority groups the program is ostensibly designed to assist no longer feel welcome in the organization.
How can employers even be this stupid?
Keep this up James! I’ve learned so much by watching you and now I’ve tried share what I’ve learned.
I saw your interview on the Babylon Bee and very much appreciated almost everything you said. I was bothered by one thing you said. Please don’t lump in the Mad community with the woke crowd. Read Robert Whitaker’s book Mad in America. Also, go to the website madinamerica.com. A lot of people, including myself, have been harmed by psychiatry. I would argue that the objectification and dehumanization that many psychiatric patients have experienced is the same objectification and dehumanization that woke culture cultivates. The target admits weakness, is broken down and told that they are defective and the only way to wholeness is by handing over the reins of their understanding to the authority.
This is indeed a very good addition, Elaine. Take for example the writings of Erich Fromm (one of the best being “escape from freedom” still). He certainly would have tried to fight the illiberal postmodernist theories and “woke” – yet would never confuse them with victims of psychiatric treatment.
Loved your interview on Babyon Bee. Keep it up. True Confession: I’m a Christian who really appreciates your kind of atheism! I pronounce you “Saved!” Brother. Hallelujah. I’ll vouch for you with St. Pete at the gate.
