Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness
We all know that we are living in revolutionary times. The origins, ascendence, values, laws, and future of the United States are all under assault by self-described, though accurately described, revolutionaries.
It is a Jacobin, Bolshevik, or Maoist moment. All aspects of life, well beyond politics, are now to be ideologically conditioned. Everything from kindergarten messaging, cartoons, workplace reeducation, and television commercials to college admissions, baseball games, and the airlines are to be “fundamentally transformed” along racial lines.
Long gone is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of a colorblind society. Gone, at least at the state level, is confidence in the melting pot of assimilation, integration, and intermarriage (although mixed marriages and multiracial children are at an all-time high).

I'm sorry to disabuse you of another one of your hopes, Dr. Hanson, but #MeToo is not “over,” as you said during your Classicist podcast. It is just dormant. It will be revived with no loss in potency, just as racism as an accusation has been repeatedly revived over the decades, because the charge of sexism by evil white heterosexual males has not been de-fused. #MeToo remains as potent as ever, with our elites just waiting for the right moment to employ it with devastating impact against their enemies again.

Dr. Hanson, this is an outstanding essay laying out so many of the pre- and misjudgments of those embracing and pushing the woke agenda. I am writing about this very subject on my weekly BLOG which will be posted tomorrow on my website: www.SumThoughts.com. I would be honored if you be so inclined to read it.
