Oliver Dowden, an American right-leaning think tank that Oliver spoke to Monday at the Heritage Foundation in New York, complained about the aforementioned. “painful woke psychodrama”Western countries were being threatened by the unfolding of global events that threaten their culture and sap their resources. “societies of their own self-confidence”.
“The US and the UK may certainly be very different societies. We share the same core values. Neither of us can afford the luxury of indulging in this painful woke psychodrama,”Dowden spoke to his audience.
Senior UK politician declared that this was not something we should do. “obsessing over pronouns or indeed seeking to decolonise mathematics.”
Dowden is the Conservative Party’s Co-Chairman, and a former Culture Secretary. “social-justice warriors”You can engage in “form of Maoism”This is the goal “expunge large parts of our past,”Without explanation “the context” behind it.’
Warning about the ‘woke’ ideology, Dowden claimed it’s now “everywhere,”It can be called anything from schools and universities to corporations and government agencies. “dangerous form of decadence.” “When our attention should be focused on external foes, we seem to have entered this period of extreme introspection and self-criticism,” Dowden lamented.
The speech to the Heritage Foundation marks his latest attack on ‘cancel culture,’ having decried the phenomenon and “woke aggression” at last year’s Conservative Party conference, calling it the “bullying and haranguing of individuals”Because of their faith.
Dowden demanded that change be made during Monday’s address.
