"Wokeism? Never heard of it."

I enjoy exchanging in French in French fora, but I think we should stick
to English in aue - at least most of the time.

As to wokeism, like the leopard, I know nothing about it. (Perhaps I'm
just unable to change my spots.)

Collins says, "wokeism / informal, often derogatory / the behaviour and
attitudes of people who are sensitive to social and political
injustice." This reminds me of Orwell, who wrote of his work: "My
starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice."

Has it become fashionable to go on a pilgrimage to Wigan Pier?

... and intolerant towards anyone who does not share their
ridiculous interpretations of 'social and political injustice',
to the point where they will seek to deny a platform to those who
disagree with them.

"water is racist" - 45,300,000 hits - oh deary deary me.

Well, quite. The idea that it's acceptable to silence those who disagree
is a dangerous one, however firmly one believes one is right, and
irrespective of whether one is right or not.

I'm not surprised. It's a polarised molecule, so it was bound to
polarise opinion.

Oh no, there was nothing racy about my thoughts. They were all static.

- I get 42.7 million, but the raw request could get hits for
just about any hit on "water" or "racist". However, there were
still 1.64 million hits (Google) after I put it in quotes. Tainted
water supplies (politics) was the most frequent topic.

It used to be that those some huge estimates would dwindle to
hundreds if you tried to look beyond the first page or two.

I went to the bottom of a long page of hits, ... clicking
"More Results" did absolutely nothing on my screen.

Yes, Google's counts are estimates. For "water is racist" in quotes, I
get 1,020,000 initially, falling to 38 if I click forwards through the
pages.

There's hope for us yet.
