And we are mighty tired that you keep insisting, from your over-blown sense of Superior Morality, that we should just shut up and accept the guilt spilling out of your mout. Well, Up Yours, wokesters!
Reformatted, emphasis mine. And yes, this was over a bigoted play. Right to the point in the first line:
But it may also be that people are burned out with trying to be woke 24/7. For years, from the office of the president of the United States to the local school boards and every office, activist, bureaucrat, and administrator in between, people have had racism, trans, and every other phobia and “ism” pounded into them at every juncture.
People who have known they are not racist are tired of defending themselves every minute, except perhaps when it comes to their children. And they also know that discussion is simply impossible.
And even the true believers may be growing weary of confessing their sins with every other breath. How many times can you flog yourself on the steps of Canterbury Cathedral, especially for offenses you know you did not commit? How long are you supposed to clap for Stalin before your hands start to bleed and your arms cramp?
You may be opposed to racism. You may even have rended your garments and heaped ashes on your head over your privilege. But when the accusations become unrelenting and perpetual repentance for values you do not hold and actions you did not commit becomes a mandatory national ritual, you might begin to tune out. At least personally. Never publicly, lest a fresh round of accusations commence. But privately, you may be too tired to go the distance yet again. No matter how non-racist you are, you will never be non-racist or anti-racist enough.
-Lincoln Brown (Is Woke Fatigue Finally Setting In?)
Don’t tune out – do what the Left has told themselves – punch back twice as hard. Get up in their faces and tell them to sit on it and rotate and scream at them that you aren’t putting up with their delusions of self-piety, grandiosity, and holier-than-thou attitude anymore.
Then say, gently, “thank you” and watch them wonder what the heck happened. Then smile at the look on their face in bewilderment from that verbal whipsaw.
