'Wokeness' Is Literally Killing America - Shoving The Woke Agenda Down The Throats Of Americans Is Killing Businesses, Costing Jobs And Destroying The U.S. Economy
Go woke, go broke, is more than just a catchy saying, but rather a catch-all term for the left's determination to find the elusive, and impossible progressively liberal "utopia."
I often describe the term "woke" in a snarky manner, but true nonetheless: To be woke is to be constantly trying to find something to be offended about. To pander to minority groups, such as "transgender," LGBT, Black Lives Matter, etc... at the expense of everyone else.
Instead of "live and let live," their mantra seems to be to destroy anyone that doesn't jump on a cause they perceive as "politically correct."
This mindset is quite literally destroying America. It is causing trouble for literary efforts, theatrical productions, and most importantly, the economy as businesses "go woke," and then they "go broke," then they end up having to layoff employees, or for some, completely go out of business.
Let me show you two headlines and news, both written within a two day period in March, which makes the point for me.
The Walt Disney Company will host a major conference promoting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in the workplace in Central Florida this September, gathering executives and professionals from the world’s largest companies in a defiant display of the limits of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign against diversity training.
Insiders tell Deadline that multiple rounds of cuts are being prepared. The first one is being targeted for late March, likely next week, we hear. (March 30 or March 31 have been floated as possible dates, but that has not been confirmed.) According to sources, there will be a big wave in late April, described as “the big one” or a “bloodbath,” when a large portion of the cuts are expected to come.
Now, riddle me this Batman: Why do gays need a summit on rights? What rights don't they have? What is the purpose of the summit if not simply virtue signaling?
Finally, my last question for this segment of the piece: Why the need to shove the LGBT agenda down the rest of our throats instead of "you do you, and I'll do me?"
If any of you dear readers are on talking terms with a liberal, please ask them that for me.

• Disney's first animated film with an openly LGBT character "Strange World," tanked at the box office last month.
• Pixar's latest installment in the popular Toy Story franchise, "Lightyear," failed to meet expectations, earning $51 million at the box office. The family-friendly series owned by Disney attracted headlines for having a same-sex kiss.
A quick note to Disney: Parents are not fond of companies, and movies, or TV shows that "groom" children into the LGBT lifestyle.
• The climate change documentary "To the End" from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was a big flop, earning just $80 per theater in ticket sales.
• Comedian Jon Stewart's new Apple TV+ streaming show and podcast called "The Problem with Jon Stewart" was also a "flop," according to several reports. By the show's fifth episode in March, viewership went down 78%, according to Bloomberg.
• Trevor Noah, who took over Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" after Stewart left in 2015, announced he was also leaving. Noah failed to average even 400,000 viewers in recent months, compared to Stewart's 2.5 million in 2013.
Apparently Americans do not like the "woke" agenda being shoved down their throats and they are making their points by not spending their hard earned money on those trying to do so.
The collective backlash is even starting to affect previously successful liberal publications, such as NPR, and the Texas Observer.
Texas Observer, legendary crusading liberal magazine, is closing and laying off its staff
The Texas Observer, the storied progressive publication known for its feisty, combative and often humorous investigative journalism, is shutting down and will lay off its 17-person staff, including 13 journalists, several members of its board said Sunday.
68 years they were popular, and BOOM, in the age of "wokeness," they can no longer survive.
While the liberal NPR is not going out of business, they are facing some massive layoffs.
NPR moved this week to cut 10% of its staff and stop production of a trio of acclaimed seasonal podcasts — Invisibilia, Louder Than a Riot and Rough Translation — as it seeks to close a yawning budget gap that stands in excess of $30 million.
Maybe, just maybe, if they were trying to appeal to the entire nation instead of just the left, they wouldn't be in the red because they would have a much larger audience.
Just spitballin' here.
Hershey's is now facing a boycott because they decided to "go woke," and featured a transgender "woman" aka a man pretending to be a woman, for Women's History Month and International Women's Day.
Johnson's involvement in the ad campaign has sparked a strong reaction. Some have accused Hershey of expressing hatred of biological women. A Twitter hashtag #BoycottHersheys was at the No. 1 spot in the U.S. on Thursday. In Canada, it was trending at No. 16.
The hashtag #GoWokeGoBroke was trending on the social media platform as well. Adopted by conservatives, it expresses the view that corporations that embrace a leftist agenda of political correctness, or cave to the demands of social justice activists, will suffer financially as a result.
As one women was quoted in that article said, we women have "long memories," Hershey's, and this won't be forgotten.
The next example should come as no surprise since Marvel is owned by Disney, but the "woke" women put in charge less than a year ago, likely given that position because she is female, a racial minority, and gay, rather than competency, has already been fired.
Anyway, it looks to me, based on the box office numbers, that Alonso was pretty successful at ruining the Marvel juggernaut. Thanks primarily to woketardery, Marvel’s box office is down, and so is the audience’s goodwill. Marvel feminized Thor, gave us a hairy man-on-man kiss in the Eternals, desexualized everyone, and introduced new characters who are no fun at all because they are too busy whining about racism, sexism, and getting misgendered.
CNN, the cable "news" network that has been steadily declining once their favorite person to hate and lie about, Donald Trump, left the White House, is also suffering for their desire to appeal to just the "woke" liberal segment of society.
CNN traditionally sees the sharpest growth during major news event, and the steepest decline when the news cycle is quieter. Without a major breaking news event to cover this past week (ie. the early days of the Russia-Ukraine war/Biden’s SOTU), CNN saw steeper year-over-year losses than its competition. The network dropped -71% in total primetime viewers, -83% among A25-54 in primetime, -62% in total day total viewers and -75% among A25-54 watching across total day vs. the year-ago week.
The examples go on and on and on, but the point is, every franchise or company that "goes woke" also eventually "goes broke," because Americans for the most part do not care to have the woke agenda shoved down their throat.
It is easy to look at them and want to applaud the fact that the majority of Americans don't care for "wokeness" and political correctness, but there is nothing to applaud in the woke agenda killing America.
Silicon Valley Bank was "woke" with diversity focused on more than smart banking practices, and almost caused massive bank runs and economic collapse with sloppy business decisions like donating a whopping $74 million to Black Lives Matter.
The fact is every job lost at "woke" companies, move productions, banks, newspapers, cable news, affects the economy.
People out of work spend less.
Companies firing employees, such as the woke and far left liberal Facebook, now known as META, letting go of 11,000 towards the end of 2022, and axing another 10,000 in the next couple of months, causes massive hits to the economy.
Meta will lay off an additional 10,000 employees through multiple rounds of cuts over the coming two months, close hiring for 5,000 open roles, and cancel more low-priority projects, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday. These cuts come just four months after he laid off 11,000 employees, or 13 percent of the company, last November.
Less movie-goers, less money working it's way through the economy. Less books bought, same thing. Less attention to woke projects, same goes.
Need I go on?
The evidence is clear. Going "woke" is killing America. Because when companies that are household names go woke, then go broke, and start losing money, then firing employees, it is literally destroying the economy, therefore destroying America itself.
Proving once and for all that woke liberals never learn their lessons, we see the next company, HarperCollins, that needs to be taught what going woke does to a business, as they have decided to "update" the famous Agatha Christie novels to remove anything "modern day" readers might find offensive.
HarperCollins has edited — and in some cases scrapped entire passages — from new editions of Christie’s beloved detective novels, Poirot and Miss Marple, the Telegraph reported.
New editions drop references to ethnicity, such as describing a character as black, Jewish or “Oriental.”
A female character’s torso that was once described as being made “of black marble” and a judge’s “Indian temper” were also cut — as were references to Gypsys and “natives.”
