The Woke Mind Virus 4: I Wanna Know what Woke is!

I want you to show me!
I wanna feel what woke is
I know you can show me - Woke Foreigner 

"Everything now has become politicized, every single thing, and it sucks,” Bethany S. Mandel renowned Grandma Killer once said in 2020.  Like all rightwingers, Bethany Mandel pretends to be oppressed so she can engage in oppression.

Pics or it Didn't Happen Should have a caveat
Pics from a rightwinger can be considered fake 

So, I first stumbled upon Bethany S. Mandel in the same place everyone stumbles upon a toxic vile lying crypto-fascist, the pits of Twitter

Mandel became popular as one of the early, 'I'm not masking my children and I'm not taking any precautions and I'm not going to give a shit about the people my heinous inconsiderate vile actions hurt.'

But, like Chaya Raichik from Libs of TikTok, Mandel didn't stop there but decided she got grotesque perverse pleasure in her new found toxic Twitter fame and influence.  

Enter the modern rightwing game of inventing terms, like CRT or Woke, which conservatives bandy about amongst each other as a form of signaling and shorthand.  But, when Bethany S. Mandel was simply asked to define woke by Brianhna Joy Gray, she became so flustered and flummoxed she couldn't even stammer out a one sentence definition and then pouted on air this was going to go viral boo-hoo-hoo. 

Bethany Mandel was on the show promoting her book Stolen Youth, a typical rightwing screed filled with the latest agitprop (Leftist Indoctrination! Woke Revolutionaries!) designed to keep conservatives in a frothing fury and keep them funneling money to rightwing grifters like Bethany.  Now, there are two possible reasons Bethany Mandel couldn't give a definition of Woke despite supposedly writing an entire book about it and a specific chapter describing "Wokeism".  One reason is "Woke" is the just latest euphemism rightwingers and Republicans have invented when they mean N-word Lover.  A second reason is Mandel would have spouted some gibberish, so chock full of deeply incestuous rightwing terminally on-line terms as to be wholly unintelligible to the Normies.

It's probably a combination of the two, as rightwingers delight in seizing some term and then running the demonization playbook.  It's what they did with "Liberal" in the Rush Limpballs era, it's what Ann Coulter and Dinesh D'Souza did with politically correct in the 1990's, it's what rising rightwing stars do with CRT as they strive to keep the White Working Class in a perpetual state of Fear & Anger.

Nevertheless, it does illustrate that a large portion of rightwing effort (DeSantis destroying education in Florida, Charlie Kirk's Turning Point org, Christopher Rufo convincing white moms everywhere that CRT is a thing, Moms demand Liberty) is directed at corrupting and polluting the minds of the American youth with fascist filth.

So, we will continue to see conservatives decrying Woke Banks and the Woke Military and woke this and woke that... and it will mean what it has always meant to the right; we no longer live in a Country with clearly delineated color barriers enforced by the State and we have a lot of uppity people who do not know their place and rightwingers are eager and willing to use violence to put things back.
