Hi Elena. Many thanks for your voice on the debate! I personally found it most interesting. Just the fact that most (if not all!) comments to your opening statement were revolving around „definitions” and „nomenclature”, and none of them attempted to address alarming observations you’ve been making, is quite telling! I think many people see the erosion of the democratic institutions and standards, driven by „woke” or any other ideology these days, as a mortal threat to the democratic system. To that part of your speech I fully subscribe! Rest I would need more discussion - too bad I couldn’t stay longer. Thank you!
I have just finished drinking a cup full of freshly squeezed beetroot juice.
In my opinion the "woke" phenomenon will be just a passing phase in the very obvious disintegration of what little remains of Western culture and civilization. There is hardly any civilization left any more. Such as it was the basis of Western civilization was effectively destroyed by the two world wars. WW2 finished off the process that began with WW1.
T S Eliot described the state of Western culture in his 1922 poem The Waste Land!
It could of course be said that the in-your-face evidence of this dis-integration is the appearance of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement spawned by him. Trump is of course quite obviously a culturally illiterate barbarian - a life-long professional grifter who has most probably never ever done an other serving an other-serving gesture or deed in his entire life - his entire ethos is me-me-me-me-me...........................me!
That having been said if this project gains the necessary political power to enforce its all-inclusive political and cultural agendas then (in my opinion) the dreaded "woke" phenomenon will have been just a minor irritant. http://www.project2025.org It has the deep-pocket resources of at least 70 right-wing so called conservative think tanks etc.
You can say what you want about Trump but the worst incidences of American foreign interventionism were curtailed when he was in power. This surely can't just be because he was thinking only about himself. He took the US out of the WHO, was mildly anti-lockdown, and anti-globalist – he didn't have to be any of those things. So, yes, not a perfect man by any means but not the total self-centred autocrat some people make him out to be. The current administration is worse by quite a significant margin.
Re foreign interventions that may be true enough in some sense but during his term the number of drone and "conventional bombings of "terrorists" increased by a substantial margin compared to Obama's term.
He is a totally self-centred sociopath, not in any sense fit for human company - toxic narcissism on steroids. A grifter all-the-way-down.
His sister has described his sociopathic personality in her various writings and interviews.
His sociopathic personality is always on full display in any public forums, whether that be when appearing in court or during his hate-filled MAGA rallies.
I would like you to name one recent world leader who isn't a pathological narcissist, it seems to be a job requirement. The same goes for sociopathy. What about Jacinda Ardern, Macron, Dan Andrews, Netanyahu, for example? These people are, I suggest, far more narcissistic and sociopathic than Trump by quite a distance, yet people still can't quite shake their irrational Trump Derangement Syndrome.

IDK man. "Everything is prolonging its existence by denying that it exists." G.K. Chesterton.

Sorry guys, I'm pro-Trump.
