The new obsession with cancel culture and “woke psychodrama” is causing harmful division in western societies and represents a “dangerous form of decadence,” according to UK Conservative Party co-chairman Oliver Dowden.
Dowden made the comments on Monday during a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank.
“When our attention should be focused on external foes, we seem to have entered this period of extreme introspection and self-criticism,” said Dowden, adding that the west has become “obsessed by what divides us rather than what unites us.”
“The US and the UK may certainly be very different societies. But we are joined by the same fundamental values. Neither of us can afford the luxury of indulging in this painful woke psychodrama,” the senior politician told the audience.
Dowden noted that Critical Race Theory and its cultural offshoots were robbing “societies of their own self-confidence,” with a new form of “Maoism” serving to “expunge large parts of our past,” even to the extent where attempts are being made to “decolonise mathematics.”
The politician warned that the woke virus was now “everywhere” and that western nations should not abandon their core principles “for the sake of appeasing this new groupthink.”
As we document in the video below, China is bewildered that America has allowed wokeism to rip apart the fabric of its society, a process they see as ultimately leading to the internal collapse of the United States.
Meanwhile, fully aware that identify politics and wokeism represents weaponized poison to the stability of society, the deep state is busy trying to export it abroad as a form of neo-imperialism.
