This year I joined your band of merry men and women.
I worked hard to understand the new vocabulary of Marxism.
Using the techniques here in your World of the Woke mind.
When I was in the States with my son who lives in Houston. I got into an argument with a teacher.
In my hammering in the techniques that I had learned to use from this forum, I notice a change in her eyes and other body language.
Her eyes turned red and her face flushed. I could tell the cognitive dissonance was showing up in her head.
At that moment, I backed off, apologize backed up out of her space, and started down a more funny look at it. (I did not apologize for my view!) I apologize for stepping into her space and making her feel uncomfortable.
Something that she could agree on.
Before I walked away I had her laughing at how silly everything we do is funny.
I don't know if we are going to win this battle but at least I'll die knowing that changing the mind of a few is a start.
It took us 100 years to get here will take 100 years to undo this.
cognitive dissonance learn how to talk to people.. and a few reincarnations
"Institutional power, on the other hand, can last a very long time and can be very difficult to change. You can’t fire a faculty member who has gained tenure, and CEOs and heads of organizations usually need to voluntarily relinquish their position in order to be replaced."
THIS.
That, more than anything is destroying us as a unified nation. Brava to you for pointing this out.
Medical boards use this unelected power to revoke the licences of doctors who question gender mutilation/puberty blocking of children or report adverse COVID jab events.
The radical 60s student movement took over education in the 70s, so now every person trained in education is steeped in the culture they’ve created. They reinforce it with new continuing Ed trainings annually. That’s power.
This is why local and state elections are so important. See the veto overrides in North Carolina by the state legislature over the leftist governor recently.

And don’t forget the bureaucracy, those are unelected people who have a lot more power and influence then elected officials.

Truth
Very true Karlyn. Thank you
How do we dig out of this predicament wherein wokeites control most of the country's institutions?
