A powerful tool in the Woke Marxist toolbox is something called a "thought-terminating cliché." These are short, pithy statements, demands, or slogans that are designed to stifle thought in their targets as well as in those saying them.
Many of us, maybe most of us now, have lost at least one immediate family member to some aspect of the Woke Marxist mind virus that's torn through our culture. This experience is painful enough on its own, but it's extra frustrating for people who believe in the power of the ties of family.
Imagine my surprise. Late last summer, I got an email from the Oxford Union formally inviting me to debate the proposition “This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far.”
Join me in this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, to understand more about this psychological reality to conversations, especially with the Woke, and what you might be able to do about it.
