“A wheelchair! A wheelchair! My kingdom for a wheelchair!”
History is supposed to teach us the difference between wisdom and folly, progress and disaster, etc., etc. But it can’t do that unless it’s true history; and that’s getting harder and harder to come by.
How, for instance, is any truth to struggle out of … this?
And if it weren’t enough to mangle history and jam it full of lies, the Wokies are also committed to erasing it. That’s why they tear down statues. They don’t mind arguments over, say, Christopher Columbus; but they’d like it even better if us plebs didn’t know Columbus had ever existed. Better still: “America was discovered by a disabled Woman of Color and a crew of LGBTQ poets and philosophers…”
But let me permanently disqualify myself from being Woke; these few little words will do it:
Truth is better than lies.
Dumb doesn’t begin to describe the evil involved in all this. Messing up (or trying to) the history and everything true is madness, evil and a stumbling block to truth.
Good one, Lee! This erasing is all pure Marxism. Intellectuals have made Marx into a god, a man who hated the masses and saw them as ignorant animals.
In another time and place he would have been a cannibal.
The words of Isaiah ring true, do not be found among those saying what is a good is bad, and what is bad is good. I guess it was even happening in Shakespeare’s day.
