In this book, the author observes thoughtfully and captures robustly what is happening in contemporary Western civilization, focusing on the emergence of "political correctness" and its gradual transformation into woke culture (culture of awakening). It recalls the initial innocence of #MeToo and the slide from accusation to proof; it reveals what this cancel culture is, the tendency to cancel culture, with practices of harsh and total censorship in universities, art, and knowledge.
In this book, the author contemplatively observes and powerfully captures what is occurring in contemporary Western culture, focusing on the emergence of "political correctness" and its gradual transformation into woke culture. He recalls the initial innocence of #MeToo and the slippage of complaints into proof; he reveals what cancel culture is, the desire to cancel culture, with practices of ruthless and total censorship in universities, in art, and in knowledge.
In the same context, he raises the issue of future generations, focusing on the wild manipulation of children and their uncritical sexualization by organizations, activists, and teachers. He carefully examines how critical issues such as racism, sexuality, human rights, Islamic terrorism, and climate change are handled by self-proclaimed "progressives" who, with the fanaticism of Crusaders, are ready to annihilate anyone who does not adopt their sacred faith.
He concludes that this fanaticism, with woke culture as its Trojan Horse, threatens to dismantle what keeps societies together, sowing confusion, paranoia, division, and polarization.
Foreword by Professor Kostas Theologou from the National Technical University of Athens and the Hellenic Open University.
In this book, the author observes thoughtfully and captures robustly what is happening in contemporary Western civilization, focusing on the emergence of "political correctness" and its gradual transformation into woke culture (culture of awakening). It recalls the initial innocence of #MeToo and the slide from accusation to proof; it reveals what this cancel culture is, the tendency to cancel culture, with practices of harsh and total censorship in universities, art, and knowledge.
In the same frame of reference, it addresses the issue of future generations by focusing on the wild manipulation of children and their uncritical sexualization by organizations, activists, and teachers. It also carefully examines how critical issues such as racism, sexuality, human rights, Islamic terrorism, and climate change are addressed by the self-proclaimed "progressives" who, with Crusader-like fanaticism, are ready to annihilate anyone who does not adopt their sacred faith. It concludes that this fanaticism, with the Trojan Horse of woke culture, threatens to dissolve what holds societies together, sowing confusion, paranoia, division, and polarization.
