Woke is a different word for empathy. And the right does not have that. Never had. They do not even understand the concept. They see if as a threat!
My wife cried as she destroyed 3 years of animal and human samples collected by her team of ~100 people in Africa through three major institutions. Each sample represented hundreds of man hours and… There was no funding. Her new job in Europe was starting (two months ago) and we had to leave - there was nobody to continue the work. She searched everywhere for ANYONE willing to analyze/finish the work and take first author. The cold reality was very very sad. There was no freezer space for work that nobody would continue.
In the coming decades she hopes to go back to discovering the mysteries that zoonotic diseases will help humanity unlock.
War against woke is going to tear the USA in 2. As fucked up as SCOTUS repealing Roe V Wade is/was… it effectively established which states will be pro-science and which will be pro-ignorance.
Global supply chains are going to collapse/change-drastically. The administrations built on ignorance will inevitably fail as the world embraces renewable tech and abandons 20th century economic models.
