The Impact of Wokeism on Intellectual Discourse

Wokeism is characterized as a movement that results from the equality thesis, which asserts that all groups possess the same distribution of abilities. This premise leads to the interpretation of existing disparities among groups as products of environmental factors, primarily blaming systemic racism for differences in achievement and socioeconomic status. Historically, this perspective has fueled a relentless pursuit to identify and combat hidden racism, creating an atmosphere where even subtle biases are scrutinized. This intellectual environment poses challenges for right-wing movements, whose acceptance of the equality thesis prevents them from offering a coherent counter-narrative that could attract more intelligent individuals.
