“Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.” – Sleepy Hollow (1999)
INTRODUCTION
We shouldn’t laugh. No… maybe we should.
But in all seriousness, similar to our Woke Corp. Watch page, here we are listing a growing collection of stories and examples that remind us that systemic Woke Supremacy is here and is no laughing matter. It is very much a (if not the) dominant aspect of our life under the New Ruling Class.
This is not a personal indictment or condemnation of any of the individuals listed. That is the kind of behaviour we expect from the New Ruling Class, let’s be frank about that. We all do and say things that are embarrassing at some point in life, whilst being capable of redemption at some stage later on.
IMPORTANT NOTE: One contextual factor when putting this list together is that we frequently find celebrities that act in certain ways or make statements under possible/likely duress (‘Struggle Session’ style). And then we have the celebrities that act in certain ways or make statements based on their core values. For fairness, we will aim to stick to the latter. But assessing this is admittedly difficult.
There are many valuable lessons and reminders that one can take away from a list such as this, so with one foot in the objective and the other in the subjective, both feet being on the ground, let’s begin… sick bags on standby.
