Unpacking Woke Activism: Work Projection and Identity Erasure
This chapter delves into the concept of work projection in woke activism, equating denial of political identities to denying existence. It explores queer theory and fat studies examples to illustrate how not affirming certain beliefs is framed as committing genocide, and delves into queer theory as a cult-like ideology advocating for breaking free from societal norms around gender. Influential figures like Judith Butler and Michel Foucault are referenced, discussing reconceptualization of social norms, the disconnection between sex and gender, and the impact of queer theory on education and institutions.
