The woke virus has gripped the country. It’s a new leftism that relies on conformity to achieve its aims. We must all think alike and talk alike. There is no space for dissent.
Rewriting history is an important part of achieving the sameness of thought that the left has in mind for us. Statues of Founding Fathers are pulled down. Books are rewritten to remove objectionable content. Art must conform.
The latest is a rewrite of two songs in an upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid.
Disney has famously fallen for the woke pressure. They’ve removed objectionable language such as “ladies and gentlemen” from their parks and have committed to inserting leftist political ideology into their films. The company is suffering financially because of their misplaced priorities but once the ritual cleansing for leftist purity gets started, it’s quite hard to stop.
