Woke ideology is an unappealing, reductive system favored by those lacking verbal intelligence or possessing a feminine temperament.

“there's a variety of fundamental problems with the woke algorithm reductive algorithm or ideology that Ben and Tom are criticizing”

The public is increasingly rejecting woke ideology, making the term more of a slur than a badge of honor.

“Twice as many people now think that wokeism is a slur, not something as a badge of honor. I think we're going to be playing whack-a-ole with wokeism for a while yet.”

The use of federal resources for social engineering, such as DEI and transgenderism policies, is a waste of taxpayer money that should be ended.

“the use of federal resources to Marxist equity transgenderism and green New Deal Social Engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve”

Woke ideology on the left has failed, and it is crucial to prevent a similar extremist movement from gaining power on the right.

“And for all of these years that many of us were talking about the crazies on the left and letting the inmates run the asylum and where are the good liberals who are going to stand up against the woksters and the collectivists, there does seem to be a bit of that brewing on the right right now.”

Wokeness hijacked standard progressivism and devolved into a radical, aggressive movement that causes chaos in corporate environments.

“this movement you know that we now call wokeness it hijacked what I would you know call sort of at the time you know bog standard progressivism but you know it turned out what we were dealing with was something that was far more aggressive”

Woke ideology is a pathological expression of a belief structure that can manifest through both left-wing and right-wing causes.

“I don't believe it can only be presented through you know left-wing causes You can present it in terms of right-wing causes or religious causes or other causes because it's the pathological expression of an ideology or uh of a belief structure that that ultimately is woke”

Woke ideology is defined by the elevation of historically marginalized race, gender, and sexual identity groups to a status of sacredness.

“So when I define woke for example my argument is that the definition one sentence definition of woke making sacred of historically marginalized race gender sexual identity groups.”

Woke ideology is a persistent, intellectual movement rooted in postmodernism that will continue to mutate rather than disappear on its own.

“I think the realization should have been it was going to morph into something. It doesn't just disappear. it. And again, you you were right. It might have it might have gone uh gone unseen for a few months, but then then showed itself in something something would have happened to bring it up”
