Description
America and the West are now in the penultimate stage of a revolution defined by "wokeness." A growing realization among its opponents has led to increased partisanship, as those facing a major threat to their interests, convictions, and ways of life begin to wake up. This is not about the "wokerati," but rather their likely victims who are seeing how various social trends have coalesced into a brewing social revolution. These trends include mass migration made more divisive by multiculturalism, the rise of identity politics, the imposition of bureaucratic "diversity," and the collapse of traditional religious restraints. Other factors such as the sexual revolution, the weakening of the family, radical gender theory, terrorism's gradual accommodation by democratic governments, and the economic consequences of environmentalism have all contributed to this growing sense of dispossessment. In this series of essays, John O'Sullivan explores how this revolution has emerged and how it can be resisted.
