The Coming Woke Catastrophe

Woke culture sells itself as the great progressive awakening of our time. Its proponents and followers believe that wokism is spreading love, defeating hate, and creating a better world without oppression of any kind. Those who refuse to subscribe to woke culture are dismissed as hateful people who must stand for the opposite of what woke culture stands for. Increasingly, anyone who questions the woke message is shouted down, de-platformed, and even cancelled. No wonder people are increasingly queuing up to be seen as woke, and to adopt its language. Who would stand against more love and less hate? And who would want to be cancelled? But beyond the superficial message, is there something less attractive about woke thinking? The Coming Woke Catastrophe is a timely expos? of what woke culture really is. It examines whether wokeism aligns with its own superficially attractive labels, or whether it is something rather darker that we all ought to be challenging rather than mindlessly adopting.
