Origins and Critiques of Wokeism
This chapter explores the origins of wokeism through varying theories posited by thinkers such as Chris Ruffo and Richard Hanania. It critiques the philosophical foundations that classify people into oppressed and oppressor categories and dismisses the oversimplification of civil rights laws as drivers of cultural 'wokeness.' The discussion also addresses the implications of meritocracy, societal expectations of representation, and the need for open dialogue to navigate the complexities surrounding race and equality.
