Wokery is the most extreme form of leftism. Some if not all elements of wokery are indicative of mental illness on the part of those who actually believe them. I will mention just four.
- Thinking that one can effect a sex-change by merely mental gymnastics, by 'identifying' as a woman or as a man. Cognate with this species of insanity is the notion that sex of a neonate is 'assigned' at birth as opposed to being biologically inherent in the organism that exits the birth canal. A name can be assigned but not sex. Not even an inappropriate nominal assignment has the power to alter the sex of the nominatum. The boy named 'Sue' remained a boy.
- The bizarre notion that permitting or minimizing the consequences of criminal behavior will lead to less crime.
- The astonishing conceit that mathematics is racist. Why exactly? Because blacks as a group are not good at it?
- The knuckleheaded notion that wholly legitimate criticisms of a 'person of color' such as Alejandro Mayorkas may be deflected by hurling the slur 'racist,' a word which wokesters never define the better to use as an all-purpose semantic bludgeon.
- Et cetera ad nauseam.
