What is waking up? One sonic bite can’t capture them all


Author Bethany Mandel is being dealt with Fake News for trying to define the term “wake up”.

Mandel, who wrote “Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocents and Spreading a Generation” with Karol Markowicz, initially stumbled when asked to explain waking up during an appearance on “The Hill Rising.”

She quickly found her direction and said:

“It is the understanding that we need to completely re-imagine and rework society to create oppressive hierarchies. I’m sorry, it’s hard to explain in a 15-second audio clip.

She is right on both sides. It’s a challenge to write a media-friendly snippet, which is something that guests are frequently asked to do in the context of an interview. She still grasped the essence of it.

The corrupt media went on a rampage, saying she “failed”, “struggling” and “speechless” when answering questions.

For home-field players, that is “inaccurate”, “mostly correct” and “totally lying”, respectively. By modern journalistic standards, it’s as close to the truth as possible.

Set a record as soon as you wake up, at least as far as Hollywood is concerned.

Shorter definition: Woke is meant to interrupt the flow of creativity to insert anything from well-meaning additions to lectures purely on TV stories, printing page of the big screen. It depletes the imagination by scaring artists into telling the wrong stories in the wrong way. It forces them to ignore reality while injecting openly progressive, often radical themes like so-called “systemic racism” into the fictional stories we watch and stream. .

You won’t find a better example of the latter than the June 16 episode of Disney+’s “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder.” (Go to 2:20 min.)

Listen to “HiT 153 Breitbart’s John Nolte Unleashes on Netflix, Woke Overreach” on Spreaker.

Waking slowly, then quickly, has surpassed Hollywood in recent years. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it crept into the frame, but a solid shell can be made thanks to the 2016 dud car.”horror movie.” Hollywood has taken a beloved property, turned it into an all-female reboot, and expected the culture to embrace it with the same vigor that applied to the 1984 original, unseen.

If not more.

An all-female “Ghostbusters” aims to defeat the Patriarchy, prove that female stars can star in a summer blockbuster, and give little girls a reason to study science for a long time. long.

Yes, no fiction, female ghost hunter girls will ignore science and become stay-at-home moms (and gasp, vote Republican).

With the exception of consumers whining about the diverse cast of actors, at least one minority group is loud enough to attract media attention. They wanted an older, wiser Bill Murray, not four female stars with questionable box office returns.

Reporters call the critics sexist without delving into the issue, showing how journalists helped wake Hollywood in the first place.

When the film’s lousy, unflattering trailer was dropped, the dice were rolled. This is a clunker. And, despite grossing over $100 million at the US box office, Sony is said to have lost more than $70 million from the film.

Woke has had a strong foothold in popular culture, and it’s only gotten worse from there. Hollywood products must reflect far-left culture and anyone who opposes is racist, sexist, homophobic, fill-in-the-blank.

Woke takes many forms in Hollywood. The industry’s blind past, which has left many women and people of color on the sidelines, has left executives overcompensated. Now, we watch period films in which black actors interact with their white co-stars and no one notices anything strange.

“Watch how they run” provides a prime example of this policy.

Sadly, the racism of that era proved stifling, so we were immediately removed from the story by noticing conflicting realities.

Dwayne Johnson’s hero Alpha Male in “Cruise in the forest” gives another example. Johnson’s rogue hero adopts a new friend’s gay lifestyle midway through the film, though a character from that era will most likely balk at the confession.

Or worse.

It’s a revelation that doesn’t necessarily have to be in the movie, but its inclusion shows a sober narrator trying to send a message that conflicts with the film’s story, timing, and fast-paced pace. .

It’s Woke 101, a good sign for progressive Hollywood watchers.

Woke resulted in gender swap projects that mostly failed. Think “Party Life”, “High Fidelity”, “Hustle” and more. Did these projects suffer from a creative decline behind the scenes, with the artists in charge thinking that being transgender would be enough to attract audiences?

It’s hard to say, but the results are mostly bad and don’t do much for female creators.

Woke’s biggest impact is comedy. Hollywood is no longer producing epic, obscene movies that wreck the box office and become streaming staples. Remember the series “Step Brothers,” “The Hangover,” “Bridesmaids,” “Old School,” “Wedding Crashers,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “American Pie?”

Simple comedies are rare these days and few can match the excellence of those examples. You must find laughter in the superhero comedy sections (“Shazam!” “Thor Ragnarok”) or horror comedies (“Violent Night”).

Woke decides which jokes can and cannot be told, which targets can be hit, and which must be shielded at all costs.

Problematic anti-heroes like John Belushi’s Bluto of the famous “Animal House” are no longer allowed. Podcast giant Joe Rogan said it best. The sane crowd thinks that the display of excessive behavior is somehow suggest it is acceptedso those characters can no longer appear in comedies on the big screen.

More than one manga master has reminded us their best work is no longer possible in today’s waking climate. Steve Carell of “The Office” said exactly that.

Norman Lear’s sitcom “All in the Family” is considered to be one of the highest achievements of this art form and it cannot be obtained today.

Why? wake up. And few, if any, will deny it. Does anything think that’s progress?

Woke’s impact on stand-up comedy is even more profound. Comedian now self-censorship to continue working. Others know their “problematic” jokes will prevent them from showing up late at night or other studio perks, forcing them to create alternative careers outside of the show business.

Some comedians even attack their colleagues who are not considered sane enough.

It must be said that there is a lot of truth behind the “Wake up, bankrupt” mantra that Hollywood has mostly ignored until now.

Awaken failure a lot.

  • “Charlie’s Angels”
  • “Western Tales”
  • “Terminator: Dark Fate”
  • Restart “Party of One”
  • “Willow”
  • “Light year”
  • “To the end”
  • “Brothers”
  • “The eternal”
  • “Light Empire”
  • “Strange World”
  • “The Problem With Jon Stewart”

Why is the media snapping and snapping at Mandel’s partially accurate definition of wakefulness? They fear what the American people really think about the word and what it stands for. And, to be fair, some conservatives have misused the term as a broad baton to attack any progressive initiative.

For example, a higher minimum wage is not awakened. It’s part of the Democratic playbook and speaks to the party’s core values. On the other hand, calling someone who criticizes a raise as racist is a core wake-up tactic.

The cultural wave may be countering the malicious awakening revolution. The recent Oscars ceremony wake up dial and focus on entertainment. The upcoming Superman movie reboot will return, “Truth, Justice, and the American Way,” iconic motto that powered the character for decades in the pre-awakening era.

Studios and platforms are canceling wake-up content after ratings fail (“Willow”) or even before projects can go public (“Pearl” by Meghan Markle, “Batgirl”) by Warner Bros. Discovery).

The war of awakening, alas, has only just begun.

Someone recently suggested wake-up is like pornography. You know it when you see it. More and more Americans are seeing it these days, and many say they don’t like it at all.

That explains the media exaggerating a less concise definition and rushing to change the subject quickly.
