Wokeness, a term that has gained popularity in recent years, is characterized by two key features: a focus on collectivist or groupist ideals and a rejection of reason and truth. Interestingly, both political opponents of wokeness in the United States and around the world often exhibit these same characteristics, with the right leaning more towards collectivist nationalism than tribal groupism. Both extremes of wokeness, whether on the left or the right, can be seen as absurd and may hinder productive conversations.

A prime example of this phenomenon can be seen in the recent presidential campaign, where the future Vice President of the United States spread false rumors about Haitians consuming American pets in Springfield, Ohio. When confronted about the misinformation, he justified his lies by stating that they served a greater purpose. This incident was further amplified by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump during a debate with his opponent.

The issue of truth and misinformation has become increasingly prevalent in today’s political landscape, with even the Department of Justice facing criticism for providing incorrect information in legal proceedings. This trend can be attributed to a culture where political leaders openly lie without consequence, leading to a devaluation of the truth among their subordinates.

In a world where truth is subjective and misinformation runs rampant, it becomes essential to critically evaluate the sources of information and not blindly accept everything at face value. The concept of intellectual honesty and integrity is crucial in navigating the complexities of modern politics and society.

As we grapple with the challenges of a post-truth era, it is important to remember the words of philosopher Friedrich Hayek, who warned of the dangers of the “end of truth” in a society dominated by state intervention. In times like these, it is imperative to uphold the value of truth and rational discourse, even when faced with the absurdity of wokeness in all its forms.

In conclusion, the prevalence of wokeness and the blurring of truth and fiction in today’s political landscape highlight the importance of critical thinking and discernment. By staying vigilant and holding ourselves and others accountable for the veracity of information, we can strive towards a more informed and intellectually honest society.
