Woke to the Misdirection Play, Reprise 0

You can see the “woke” misdirection play in all its gloried story in one of the most appallingly bogus pieces of deceptive drivel that I’ve read in years. I hesitated about mentioning it, but it illustrates how a misdirection play spreads and pollutes dis coarse discourse.

For one thing, the author claims that “woke” is a movement, when it is, in fact, a right-wing pejorative. There is no “woke” movement except in the minds of bigots who resent being called out for their bigotry.

Then he argues that somehow “woke” is a mirror image of MAGA, whereas, if there were a “woke” movement (remember, no such movement), it would not be a mirror image, it would be the antithesis of MAGA, of bigotry, the antithesis of hate, of–oh, heck, words fail me.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
