Woke-tainment

Bari Weiss

Amazon is turning the making of TV and film into the same woke numbers game played at every other elite institution. (Exhibit A: Sixty-eight percent of the students admitted to Princeton’s class of 2025 self-identify as “people of color.”) Moving right along, the Inclusion Playbook taught me that the Arabic word jihad means to “strive and struggle for God,” and is a term that describes “personal betterment.” Sharia, we are told, literally means “the clear, well-trodden path to water.” I also learned about the Yazidis, who are victims of the apparently non-violent jihad waged by the Arab League (also covered in this document!). Do I even need to tell you that there is no mention of Israel or of Jews? The playbook explains that “the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion requires all of us to disrupt those biases, and the longstanding customs and practices in the industry, in order to achieve real, lasting change. This work is not easy to do, but don’t worry, we’re in this together.”

  1. “Do I even need to tell you that there is no mention of Israel or of Jews?”

    How dare they not acknowledge the supreme and eternal victimhood of the talmudists.

  2. Nice to see Weiss singing for her supper. Poor little “left centrist”anti Trumper baby…finally forced to see the world for what it really is. Y’know hon, it ain’t always about the Jews.
    Typically what happens when you’ve got bills to pay and no one wants to hire you.

  3. I do a fair amount of shopping on Amazon because I don’t want to wear an ineffective dumb-shit mask pretending that is it protecting me. I won’t bother with their woke movies, but shopping is shopping.

    When I do not have to wear a stupid mask, I will consider shopping locally again.

  4. She’s right to call people out for not speaking up when they have an actual duty to speak up if they’ve taken the Hippocrates Oath for example.

    Most of us get dismissed as cranks at work if we question the narrative everyone is being fed, if any narrative or news comes up at all, but if you wanted the profession and took the oath, speak up.

    1. Do not live by lies. When that little voice asks you why, think about what you are about to do or say. Once you start saying “we have always been at war with Eastasia”, it is hard to ever come out of the double think.

      Like the poor sod above who thinks he is gaining points by saying “masks work”. His yard has been mosquitoe free since he finished the chain link fence.

  5. Bari Frum, David Weiss. Why am I reading this again? Aren’t there enough Fredocons already?

  6. Just watch some commercials. You’ll see the subtle social engineering involved when you look at ‘advertising’ as a whole. Most people in commercials now are some variant of brown. Far over-represented compared to their actual population. If white, they will almost certainly be women. White men only seem to appear if they are a gay couple. Inter-racial couples, lots of gay couples, LMNOP community, and very few older white people (unless of course it is targeting that group). You might think, oh, one ad can put whoever they want in it, no big deal. But add them all up, it’s overwhelmingly obvious that this is being directed.
