Woke American Ideas are a Threat, French leaders say

[Cassius]

It's okay, Europeans have their own equally stupid but probably more dangerous forms of identity politics.


Is anyone else a bit tired of how the word "woke" is being used now? What the hell does it even mean? Like "identity politics", it's another scare word or term that means whatever you want it to mean.

So true. Same applies to 'cancelling', btw.

Not to forget the dreaded ‘cultural Marxism’.

Mind you, people on left and centre have been chucking terms like fascist and Nazi around like snuff at a wake for so long it’s hardly surprising the right fires back with it’s own demonology.

I would indeed define successful integration as you know, "behaving French", adopting French customs, speaking French at home, etc.

Please define.

The country that committed genocide as long ago as the 1950's doesn't like people to look introspectively at the link between race and religion and the normalised bigotry in society.

Are you talking about France or repeating Soviet propaganda?

I presume he’s referring to the massacres in Sétif and Guelma in 1945 - which did not constitute a genocide (regardless of what Algerian nationalist mythographers say) and have also been acknowledged and apologised for by the French government.
