Final round of most prestigious national high school debate tournament. Team A tells Team B they won't debate assigned topic (benefits/costs of the IMF) because trans people are being genocided by MAGA Republicans and that is way more important (twitter.com)

If the woke revolution ended tomorrow, it would take at least two generations to clear the damage from the essential systems of the West. These kids ARE learning. They aren’t learning how to think, but how to get what they want with credible threats.

Imagine you’re on trial for a notorious crime of which you are innocent, and one of these kids, now all grown up, is representing you but doesn’t like your politics. Or the judge, prosecutor and defense attorneys all agree that your adherence to some belief that nearly everyone shared at the turn of the 21st century makes you very bad—and so the facts of your case are beside the point because society is better off with you safely locked away.

This madness is already affecting the courts. At some point it will dominate them. And there can be no West without impartial courts obligated to follow rules that favor no one. We must #RekindleTheWest. Immediately.

Imagine you’re on trial...

No need to imagine. Ask men who have been railroaded by the legal system and "family courts" since the end of no-fault divorce because of a bias towards women. Hey, nobody likes racists, right? I suppose it's possible a notorious racist could get a fair trial, but I wouldn't bet on it. "Racism" is not against the law, but you're not allowed to be "racist" if you want to make it in life.

And there can be no West without impartial courts obligated to follow rules that favor no one.

No such thing. This kind of entrenched liberal philosophy even among normal people is why I'm doubtful the woke revolution will end any time soon. This person fails to acknowledge that extreme diversity of people and by extension ideas prevents you from having a functioning culture with any idea of impartial courts. There is ALWAYS some bias. Whether it be based on Christian traditionalism, protestant work ethic, common law, our ideas of property and ownership, or a belief in disparate impact theory. These traditions passed down by family and later codified in law school sort of become axiomatic principles in our minds that we are unable to remove from our decision making process. We can enjoy courts that appear fair when we live in cultures that are homogenous enough that bounds of the most extreme views (something related to the Overton window I guess) of any jurist fall within the acceptable range of fairness for all "reasonable persons" within that jurisdiction.

Yes the wokism cult will make things much worse, but it's magnifying a pre-existing problem. Until the whole world finally becomes a Communist paradise and then all courts will be fair and just to the workers of the world.

Not just family courts. Look at Derek Chauvin's trial. At no point could he possibly have gotten a fair and unbiased trial when all the jury members were comprised of people biased against him.

Not a jury trial, but I thought of this example from a few months ago: https://archive.ph/da835

A judge has dismissed charges against three Native American women for their efforts to disrupt construction of the Line 3 pipeline, citing what the “dominant culture” did to “try to eradicate our indigenous neighbors.”

On Thursday, District Court Judge Leslie Metzen dismissed all charges against all three women.
“In the last 20 years I have come to a broader understanding of what we, the now dominant culture did to try to eradicate our indigenous neighbors. We moved them by force and power and violence off the land where they lived for thousands of years. To make peace, we signed treaties with them that promised many things they never received,” Metzen wrote in a memo accompanying her order.
“When they had been forced to live within reservation boundaries, we stole their children; forced them to attend boarding schools where their language, long hair, spiritual beliefs, and contact with their families were forbidden. Many of them died from disease, violence, and some probably from a broken heart. I know only enough of this history to wonder how those of us in the ‘dominant culture’ could ever have thought any of these actions were okay or justifiable,” she continued.
Metzen described the actions of the defendants as an “expression of their heartfelt belief that the waters of Minnesota need to be protected from damage that could result from the pipeline.”

I'm a Native dude (Lakota Tribe). Generally speaking I hate when either side of the political aisle bring us into conversation for reasons like this. It's a bad example of the original subject.

The above case you mentioned has a little bit more nuance involved. This wasn't so much woke as it was the US having to rapidly back-peddle their enforcement of laws because that pipeline crossed into territory protected by US treaty and thus by their own agreement the US had no claim to continue.

And Bret, I'm sure that the frat party that you tattled on for being racist back when you were in college was totes for reals racist, and you weren't just overreacting based on your offended sensibilities.
