Bloomberg: "Wokeness" May Soon Be the US's Greatest Export to the World

wokemovementexport.jpg


I hope so. I hope so.

If you're hobbled, hobble your enemies.

Why should we be the only ones crippled by this pathology?

Opinion
Tyler Cowen

Why Wokeism Will Rule the World
The woke movement could be the next great U.S. cultural export -- and it is going to do many other countries some real good.

[T]he woke are engaging in a much larger international arena. One question raised by the woke movement, though hardly ever asked, is whether the U.S. will be able to deploy this new intellectual tool for exporting American cultural influence. Put another way: If there is going to be an international progressive class, why not Americanize it?

Wokeism is an idea that can be adapted to virtually every country: Identify a major form of oppression in a given region or nation, argue that people should be more sensitive to it, add some rhetorical flourishes, purge some wrongdoers (and a few innocents) and voila -- you have created another woke movement.

As the technology writer and lawyer Paul Skallas has written: "MeToo and BlackLivesMatter are essentially US culture issues which provide an effective identity for internationals of the progressive class." Almost every other country now has its own version of woke, though it may differ greatly from the American version.

The French clearly see wokeism as a carrier of American cultural influence. "French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas -- specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism -- are undermining their society," the New York Times reported in February. It quoted France's education minister on the need to fight "against an intellectual matrix from American universities.''

But even the un-woke among us might think Francophone society and culture could stand to be a little more woke. The boss needs to know he doesn't have the right to sleep with his secretary. And Belgians need to come to terms more honestly with their colonial heritage in Africa. Wokeism has turned out to be a way to get them to do that.

I also think French culture and society will emerge just fine from this engagement with wokeism. Most of all, wokeism is a way of spreading ideas from a relatively feminized American culture to a world less supportive of women's rights.

Returning to the glories of American cultural imperialism, consider the British philosophical pessimist John Gray. He recently wrote the following, weird but insightful:

Wokery is the successor ideology of neo-conservatism, a singularly American world-view. That may be why it has become a powerful force only in countries (such as Britain) heavily exposed to American culture wars. In much of the world -- Asian and Islamic societies and large parts of Europe, for example -- the woke movement is marginal, and its American prototype viewed with bemused indifference or contempt.

Does that make you feel better or worse about wokeism? I say better. Again, keep the bigger picture in mind. It doesn't much matter who controls the English department at Oberlin College. But it would be nice if the Saudis moved to allow more rights for women.

19 How Wokeism spread through the Anglosphere is disturbing. In theory we should have different countries trying different things - but our transnational elites have made sure elections don't matter much anymore, especially outside of the US.

Objectively it weakens any society that embraces it, and of course it is a the remains of a poison the Soviets injected into America.

20 I'm gonna repost my willowed comment....

404 375 Jimmy Carter was elected in the 70s. That's when we got fuel economy requirements on cars, destroying the muscle car movement.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

No, what destroyed the muscle car movement was the Clean Air Act from 1973 onward, and Detroit's cheap reaction to it. And in the end...by the mid '80s cars were as fast as they'd ever been, and now there's 500+HP to be had at showrooms coast-to-coast. Real net HP, not the fudged marketing numbers of the '60s. And for that matter my wife's Tesla Model 3 Performance (0-60 3.2 seconds) will outrun any factory product of the '60s from 0-100 and keep going past 150 when they hit redline at 110 with their 4.10 gears. Never mind tires, brakes, suspension, etc. of the day.

What CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) requirements DID, was to establish weight categories that essentially pushed people out of larger cars and into trucks and eventually SUVs.

The "boss sleeps with the secretary" thing is...odd here. In theory the first through third waves of feminism all "did something" about this. But, and I've seen this with people around me, it is not at all unusual for subordinate women in a corporate org to go after the boss - great way to get a promotion, and he's probably wealthier and higher status (hypergamy FTW).

Most of all, wokeism is a way of spreading ideas from a relatively feminized American culture to a world less supportive of women's rights.

Feminized American culture? Outside of blue enclaves - who actually thinks the people who farm the crops, run the factories, defend the nation, deliver the goods to market, build the homes - all the things that matter to people in both the short and long run are feminized? I don't.

Yes. It's contempt. None of this crap has a foothold outside the west. Critical Theory and Postmodernism are good at eroding open systems, but they have very little power against authoritarian or closed systems. Most of Asia and all of the Middle East are the latter. It is suppressed there, promptly and utterly. Not only are they not going for it, some places are actively fighting against it through social counterengineering. China is a prime example of this, where their social engineers are deliberately anti-woke and anti-online.

61 Wokeism is not sustainable, and will collapse under even the most lackadaisical challenge. People's lack of self confidence and ability to think critically, combined with an inability to stand fast to their convictions in the face of opposition is what perpetuates wokeism.

94 And the Euros, for better or worse, also recognize the end point of the Postmodern chimera coming out of America. I think it was about a year ago that Macron called it out as a major threat to France and how they needed to counter and eliminate American leftism in that country.

It amused me on many levels. First, he's not wrong. It's incredibly toxic and every country that cares to survive should drag the entire ideology out root and branch until it is entirely suppressed. But the audacity of the French blaming us for it is really breathtaking. The philosophical basis of "wokeism" is Postmodernism, which is entirely a French creation. The practical, applied basis of it is Critical Theory, which is largely a Franco/German creation, though American academia contributed mightily.

Then both came here and hybridized in our universities into modern "wokeism" and then we started exporting it as infected out culture and cultural products. So yeah, this is coming through an American megaphone and has all that delicious American money behind it, but the words being shouted through that megaphone are largely French.

In very short order, the US and Western Europe will be culturally isolated. The world will stop consuming American culture in the 21st century, because it produces nothing of value - nothing. No movies. No music. No television. No literature. None of it is worth a plugged nickel.

But our political and intellectual thought makes those other things look like the finest of cultural products. It is truly a cesspool. All serious countries are already pointing and laughing at it, baizuo.

My favorite I've seen recently was that Polish soccer match - "Kneel Before His Majesty." That was directed at British BLMers, but Western Europe is only slightly less insane than us at this point.

149 In my observation and opinion, wokism is entirely institutional.

I do live in the conservative south, but I rarely see wokism on display at any practical level between individuals.

In other words, I'm aware that "preferred pronouns" and such are things, but I've never actually encountered anyone that demanded or corrected the use of preferred pronouns. I see colleges discussing it in their policies, government, online groups/individuals, corporations and elsewhere, but nowhere on the individual level do I see anyone applying it in the real world.

I think CRT theory is similar, it's taught in schools, forced in the workplace, but I don't see people on a practical level applying any of it.

And tranny stuff too, online or in the workplace or in academia, where institutions control things, it's prevalent. But your average tranny still understands they are weird at personal level as do all the non-trannies around them. Nobody is antagonist to the tranny at the personal level, but that's because vast preponderance of people aren't confrontational and rude at a face to face level. When the tranny leaves, the rest usually say "Man, that tranny is so weird."

163 159 This idiotic fantasy that Africans lived in eden-like Wakanda of peace, comfort, beauty, and ease before the evil white man showed up to oppress them is one of the worst and stupidest, ahistorical stupidities of modern man. Its like the myth that the American tribes lived in peace and oneness with the land before the evil white man arrived to oppress them.

164 The responses prove Matthews' point: "nothing too far left about the U.S, and raising your taxes and increasing social programs..."

A standard way the left views the world now is, if I want it, it is good. And if it is good how can a moral person oppose it?

Questions of negotiating with people who disagree with you, weighing costs and benefits, and prioritizing how to use your resources wisely are now officially racist, sexist and homophobic.

Would Europe defend the borders of Slavic nations they don't even like? Could they?

The answer to both questions is, of course, "no."

Virtually all of that is going to be subsumed by Russia pretty soon. That empire will be back in the absence of American power.

Now, that's not to say that living in a new Russian Empire would necessarily be worse than life in this regime as it develops. But don't count on those countries remaining modern liberal democracies for long.

The subpoenas for Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka Trump stem from an investigation "into the valuation of properties owned or controlled" by Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, the filing said.

252 Wokism is self-destructive, it is inevitably self-defeating a all works-based righteousness ultimately is. But sometimes that kind of thing can hang on for a very long time.

So, the Bills have an outspoken anti-vaxxer, WR Cole Beasley, (held out of the previous week's game due to covid reasons and has been fined multiple times over his refusal to get the jab) who was "booed" by *his own hometown crowd* after *making a catch* yesterday. But, I'm hearing chatter that the boos may have been *piped in, like all the crowd sounds were last season.* And, being from that area, I cannot imagine *that* fanbase booing their own player after he made a catch, for any reason, ever.

353 I've noticed the current trend is towards the white husband with black wife interracial marriage in marketing. Kind of interesting.

Well they are balancing a lot of plates here. They want to have white people in the ad, because still most people in America are whitey. But they want black people in ads so they don't get protested by angry clumps of psychos and special interest blackmail groups. But if you put a black guy with a white woman, every black woman in America will try to stab you in the eye with a fork.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor


They also have many ads with one incompetent person being corrected by a competent one, usually using the product being hawked.

If you go with the black man/white woman pairing, either the black or the woman has to be the incompetent one, so you have a black being corrected by a white, or a woman being corrected by a man, and that is Just Not Done.

Yep and the announcers during the SNF game last night could not shutup about it. My guess is that their producers told them to constantly talk about COVID to keep it in the minds of viewers. Because there's no other reason to bring it up during a game more than one. But these jackasses were talking about it seemingly constantly. And the scroll at bottom of NFL Redzone all day yesterday where they told of Cousins sitting out ended with "Cousins is unvaccinated". Why that matters, who knows, considering vaccinated players in every professional league are testing positive. My guess is that they're pointing that out to continue to demonize the dirty unvaxxed. Get the ignorant idiots to continue to believe "if only he was vaxxinated, he would not have tested positive!"

A good part of the Cousins hatred comes from the anti-Christian Left. Cousins has been upfront about his faith, and the Left can't stand that. Before the vaccine, they were attacking Cousins for other things.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a Vikings fan, and I find Cousins to be only slightly above average as a QB, and not our long-term answer, but the amount of hatred he gets from some parts of the fanbase is ridiculously out of proportion.

I don't know who he had maintaining it, but YES he had a fairly early E-type roadster as a daily driver.

Which is part of why I've always trusted his instincts re Tesla, and why they've always been great cars to drive, because I don't think he, personally, would let one get out the door that didn't feel right.

399 CRT is a natural extrapolation of American Exceptionalism. European whites are evil, American whites through the baptisimal power of American citizenship are the good whites who must protect the world from those evil Europeans. An example is Ace who is never happier than when hating whites in Canada,Australia or Europe.
You imported non-whites into your country from 1965 who never believed in the magical powers of American citizenship-it's a flag of convenience for them- and they simply removed the qualifier for American whites. They agree with you that whites are uniquely evil but don't allow American whites the exception.

423 Tyler Cowen is the Holbert C. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He received his PhD in Economics from Harvard University in 1987. He is a prominent blogger at marginalrevolution.com, the world's leading economics blog. He also writes regularly for The New York Times, and has written for Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wilson Quarterly.

Tyler lives in Fairfax, Virginia, with his wife and step-daughter. In addition to being an avid fan of music, he is a collector of Haitian and Mexican outsider art, including Haitian voodoo flags and Mexican amates.

I've been kinda betting that the release of the new Roadster is more about 'how do we make this controllable for normal humans' than anything else...because the M3P and the hotter Model S's (they really need a new one) are so brutally quick that most people barely have the reactions to deal with them and it's only the software that can keep them out of trouble. I'm sure below 100mph the new Roadster is probably F1-car quick if not quicker and none of us are at that level.

They fish. But usually it's in-town at the bridge or along the river. Actually, I've known a lot of blacks who have never been in the country. They have no interest in it.

One thing I heard from a relative who lived around a lot of blacks was that some don't like being out in the sun because it makes them blacker. And if you don't think that matters to blacks, well, it does to a lot of them.
