A nearly universal good idea is to actively avoid wokeness at all times. However… I’m wondering about the value of flipping that from time to time. Consider:
And then:
And there are doubtless many more examples of corporations and educational institutions who made available “counselors” to deal with the self-important snowflakes who couldn’t handle the fact that the justice system actually recognized that being attacked by violent murderous criminals is a valid excuse for defending oneself. My first reaction would be to avoid these counselors like the plague that they are; a grift that has proven successful at extracting a pretty substantial pile of cash from companies either too woke or too cowardly to tell them to bugger off. But I wonder if a better approach would be for the rational, sane employees to, in fact, take full advantage of them. If your company offers you time off in any way to deal with the Rittenhouse verdict… *take* *it.* If they offer you counseling service with an actual human counselor (as opposed to an AI counselor), take advantage of it. And get as many of your co-workers to join in. Flood the lines. Clog up the works, slow down the assembly lines. Drown the company in the results of its own wokeness.
One can approach the counselor with a false face. Pretend to be woke and upset. But one can also approach them openly and honestly, mocking them and deriding their very reason for being. However, while that’s the more honest approach it’s also the one more likely to get them to simply shut you out. A third option: Abe Simpson the hell out of them. Start off with the fake wokeness, then ramble off into random irrelevant directions. Recite the full and accurate story of what happened in Kenosha, decrying the unfairness of killing a pedophile who only wanted to touch a minor, then diverge into a tale about how this one time, at band camp… Keep it up for as long as possible. Drown the counselor with unhinged tales of woe. Don’t just waste their – and your companies – time, but bore them to tears. If you can, lay upon them emotional distress. If you have any *actual* problems – alcoholism, drug addiction, terminal cancer, your dog just died, you’re in debt to the mob, whatever – lay that on them thick and hard. Make their job a nightmare.
This would serve two purposes. If done well, it will make life unpleasant for the grifters, and that’s morally praiseworthy. And if done on a large enough scale, it will make the whole thing incredibly costly for the company. And no matter how insanely woke a company or its board of directors are, they’re still in it to make money. If wokeness can be made to be seen as the drag on profit that it truly is, perhaps companies such as Best Buy and Levis will start to rethink this nonsense. instead of providing counseling services for insane, child molester-worshipping freaks, they can do the more appropriate thing and simply fire them.
