Overview
Woke ideology refers to a socio-political movement that emphasizes social justice and equality, often challenging traditional norms and making waves in political and social spheres, particularly in Western countries. This movement, rooted in post-modernist philosophy from 20th century France, gained traction in the U.S., seeping into academia, media, politics, and everyday life. Over time, woke culture has sparked heated debates on topics like gender identity, race, and systemic discrimination.
The spread of woke culture led to phenomena such as 'cancel culture,' where individuals are ostracized for non-compliance with its ideals. Proponents argue this movement revives social justice, however, critics claim it instigates division and imposes rigid, often contradictory, standards. With this backdrop, various societal sectors, including media, NGOs, and political landscapes, witnessed intense debates about the ideology’s impact and legacy.
Amidst growing tensions, a counterrevolution has started to reclaim traditional values and critique wokeism, particularly evident in the political rise of figures like Donald Trump. This shift reflects broader societal discontent and re-evaluation of ideas propagated by woke culture. The debate highlights a deeper societal struggle between progressive ideas and traditional values, as communities question the sustainability and impact of such ideologies.
Chapters
00:00 - 00:30: Introduction to Woke Culture The chapter delves into the controversial phenomenon of woke culture, tracing its origins back to post-modernist philosophical theories from 20th century France. It highlights the full blossoming of this culture in the United States in the early 21st century, emphasizing its penetration beyond academic discussions into various facets of society, including media, politics, NGOs, corporations, and daily life. Despite its seemingly noble beginnings, woke culture has become a topic of debate and contention in contemporary Western society.
00:30 - 02:30: Roots and Development The chapter titled 'Roots and Development' explores the aggressive ideological transformation within western societies, where notions of equality and social justice have deeply altered the social fabric. Key phenomena such as the promotion of gender change in children, radical queer activism, and uncritical acceptance of immigration have emerged from this transformation. These changes have led to societal divisions, affecting public debates, identity politics, and everyday interpersonal relationships.
02:30 - 04:30: Transition to Aggressive Ideology The chapter titled 'Transition to Aggressive Ideology' explores the rise of Donald Trump as a counterreaction to the woke movement. It delves into the evolution of woke ideology and speculates whether we are witnessing its decline. This section is part of the 20s report, inviting viewers to engage with the content.
04:30 - 07:30: Roots in Post-modern Philosophy The chapter delves into the origins of woke ideology, tracing its roots to post-modernist philosophy and relativism which primarily stem from France. A pivotal figure in this philosophical development is Michel Foucault, who was born in Poitiers, France in 1926 to a well-off medical family. The chapter notes Foucault’s philosophical pursuits particularly his critiques of medicine, highlighting his influential role in shaping post-modernist thought which forms the cornerstone of modern woke ideology.
07:30 - 09:30: Critical Studies and Academic Spread This chapter examines the intersection of education and the prison system, focusing on power dynamics and potential oppression by those in authority over those with less power. It highlights the concerns of contemporary woke ideology, particularly around discrimination, victim status, and the control of information transmission by powerful entities. The narrative suggests that language and information can be tools of power, thereby influencing societal structures and interactions.
09:30 - 12:30: Key Figures and Ideologies The chapter "Key Figures and Ideologies" discusses the interconnection between power and knowledge, emphasizing how power produces knowledge and vice versa. This concept is explored through the ideas of Foucault, who asserts that power relations are inherently tied to the creation of knowledge. The narrative unfolds by examining these themes in the context of sociopolitical structures, suggesting that understanding is influenced by the power dynamics present within society.
12:30 - 15:30: Controversial Social Movements The chapter titled 'Controversial Social Movements' includes a critique of the police institution, referencing an essay that claims crime is essential for the existence of society. Without crime, the need for police would be non-existent, as the institution of police is framed as a powerful and modern entity justified solely by the fear of crime and criminals. The argument suggests that crime benefits the societal structure because it legitimizes the presence and control of the police.
15:30 - 22:30: Impact on Society and Politics The chapter discusses the influence of French philosopher Jacqu Derrida on post-modernism. Derrida's contributions include incorporating post-modernist relativism into its philosophy, famously arguing that everything is relative. He transformed the phrase 'it depends' into a form of artistic and rhetorical instrument, which made substantive debate challenging. Additionally, Derrida developed a method that could negate the meaning of words, phenomena, or their context, further impacting the discourse within society and politics.
22:30 - 26:30: Resistance and Backlash The chapter titled 'Resistance and Backlash' delves into the postmodernist views and their influence on contemporary woke culture. It references famous philosophers like Derrida, known for the quote 'there is nothing outside the text', emphasizing the idea of deconstructing traditional narratives. The chapter critiques modern movements such as gender fluidity, the handling of obesity, racial issues, and mental disorders, and mentions French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard, dubbed the 'pope of postmodernism', for his critical role in shaping these dialogues. The chapter frames these contemporary issues as an extension and perhaps a misinterpretation or evolution of postmodernist thought, leading to resistance and backlash against these new cultural norms.
26:30 - 30:30: International Context and Influence The chapter discusses the influence of postmodernist philosophy, which builds on the values of enlightenment such as the development of natural sciences and humanism. Jean Baudrillard is mentioned for his focus on the idea that the modern world is a collection of copies and imitations. Initially, postmodernist philosophy gained traction in Europe, but it became particularly popular in the United States, especially at universities during the 1980s and '90s, influencing various non-scientific fields of study.
31:30 - 39:30: Counterrevolution Against Woke Culture The chapter titled 'Counterrevolution Against Woke Culture' discusses the increasing presence of empirical and objective sciences in various fields such as gender studies, post-colonial studies, queer studies, fat studies, disability studies, and neurodiversity studies. These fields are collectively referred to as critical studies, which challenge existing meanings, facts, and history. The framework for these studies follows the philosophical underpinnings of Derrida, focusing on deconstruction.
39:30 - 45:30: Current Trends and Shifts This chapter explores the current trends and shifts in ideological patterns, particularly focusing on discrimination narratives in American campuses and liberal media. It examines how woke ideologies, primarily gender and queer ideology, are being developed and shaped. The chapter highlights the contributions of key figures such as Judith Butler, a feminist American philosopher, known for her influential work 'Gender Trouble', and her advocacy of the concept of gender as a complex and flexible construct.
The Birth and Death of Woke Ideology. Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 woke culture is one of the most controversial phenomena in the contemporary western world although its roots lie in post-modernist philosophical theories developed in 20th century France its full flowering occurred in the United States at the beginning of the 21st century where it penetrated from academic debates into media politics non-governmental organizations corporations and everyday life from seemingly noble postulates of
00:30 - 01:00 equality and social justice it transformed into an aggressive ideology that deeply penetrated the social fabric of western countries it led to phenomena such as the promotion of gender change in children radical queer activism and uncritical acceptance of immigration this phenomenon has divided societies affecting public debate identity politics and everyday interpersonal relations however recent years and in
01:00 - 01:30 particular Donald Trump's rise to power represent a kind of counterrevolution against the woke movement what was woke ideology what has it become and are we now witnessing its death welcome to the 20s report [Music] consider leaving a like if you enjoyed the video to aid the
01:30 - 02:00 algorithm although in its current form the mainstream of woke ideology derives from the United States its roots are found in France the main pillar of wokeism is post-modernist philosophy and post-modernist relativism post-modernist philosophy was developed especially by Michelle Fuko born in Puatier in 1926 to a wealthy medical family in his philosophical career Fuko focused on fighting against medicine the
02:00 - 02:30 education system and the prison system he had a particular obsession with power relations between people and analyzed many areas of potential oppression by those with greater power against those positioned lower for contemporary woke ideology in addition to the ideas of discrimination and victim status the language of information transmission is also important and this is created by people who have power therefore according to wokeists there is no
02:30 - 03:00 objective empirical reality and its description but only a narrative of powerful people quote power produces knowledge power and knowledge directly imply one another there is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations fuko wrote in discipline and punish the birth of the prison fuko also
03:00 - 03:30 criticized the institution of police including in the essay the games of power crime is too useful for anyone to dream of such an absurd and ultimately dangerous thing as a society without crime without crime there is no police what allows the population to accept police presence police control if not fear of the criminal it is a wonderful windfall he and only he justifies this so new and so powerful institution
03:30 - 04:00 writes Fuko another major proponent of post-modernism was the Frenchman Jacqu Derrida he incorporated post-modernist relativism into the philosophy of postmodernism he argued that everything is relative he turned the answer it depends into aristic and rhetorical tools making substantive debate difficult or impossible he created a system of negating the meaning of any word phenomenon or their context that
04:00 - 04:30 somehow did not fit postmodernism there is nothing outside the text goes Deridita's famous quote today we see destruction in woke culture negation of phenomena such as gender obesity race or mental disorders but Michelle Fuko and Jac Derida were not the only precursors of walkism jean Fran Sua Leotar born in Versailles was called the pope of postmodernism who criticized the
04:30 - 05:00 enlightenment along with its typical values of development of natural sciences and humanism jean Budilar who focus on the idea that the contemporary world is a collection of copies and imitations was also among the icons of this philosophy postmodernist philosophy grew on such foundations it gained popularity in Europe but above all it flourished in the United States first at universities already in the 1980s and '90s fields of study that are not scientific from the
05:00 - 05:30 perspective of empirical and objective sciences appeared with increasing frequency we can mention gender studies postc colonial studies queer studies fat studies disability studies and neurodeiversity studies this collection of quote studies is generally called critical studies because they engage in the destruction of meanings facts and history within the framework established by Derrida by also examining them for
05:30 - 06:00 patterns of discrimination in line with Fuko's emphasis on victim narratives on American campuses and in the liberal and leftist press specific areas of woke ideology began to be forged including primarily gender and queer ideology one of the key figures here is the feminist American philosopher Jud Butler author of the book gender trouble and the main proponent of the idea that gender is a
06:00 - 06:30 social construct another author Robin D'Angelo became famous for so-called whiteness studies a current that considers whiteness a social construct that is inherently privileged and therefore racist she wrote the best-selling book White Fragility quote "Being good or bad is not important racism is a multi-layered system embedded in our culture each of us is socialized in a system of racism racism cannot be avoided whites are blind to
06:30 - 07:00 racism i too am blind to racism she argues the role of antagonizing blacks against whites is played by black author Ibraham X Candi who is extremely popular in America directs institutions focused on quote researching racism and lectures at universities he has gone so far as to publicly claim that the HIV virus was invented by whites to eliminate black people
07:00 - 07:30 the mainstream of woke culture also includes the obesity movement also known as fat feminism which proclaims obesity as a positive phenomenon and treating it as a disease is called fat phobia fat activists organize for example boycots of Olympics which they consider a fat phobic promotion of athletic figures quote "Every person who lives in a fat-hating culture inevitably absorbs anti-fat beliefs," argued fat studies
07:30 - 08:00 researcher Marilyn Juan meanwhile fat feminist comedian Sophie Hagen accused the British institution cancer research of fat phobia for organizing a social campaign raising awareness that obesity increases the risk of cancer woke has also evolved towards views in which prostitution and pimping are considered normal professions and the prohibition of prostitution or prosecution of pimps is a form of
08:00 - 08:30 discrimination for proponents of wokeism even the word prostitution is considered quote shaming and they prefer the term sex worker christianity is also widely criticized as it contradicts many doctrines of walkism paradoxically however the group stands in defense of Islam and criticism of expansiveness aggression and Islamic terrorism is labeled as Islamophobia opposition to illegal
08:30 - 09:00 immigration is in woke culture an example of quote fascism in Canada a particular branch of wokeism turned out to be the approach to drug addiction for more than 20 years Canadian authorities led by British Columbia have been conducting an experimental drug policy a very liberal one clinics were established where addicts can inject heroin under the supervision of professional staff safely as was argued clean drugs are provided
09:00 - 09:30 for free and a blind eye is turned when someone smokes crack in public spaces the number of deaths from overdose is increasing wrote journalist and writer living in Canada Margaret Seats any criticism of such a policy called quote harm reduction was considered a form of discrimination against drug addicts over sensitivity on this point was combined with the fact that a significant
09:30 - 10:00 percentage of addicts in Canada are indigenous people who for historical reasons have special rights given the fact that in accordance with woke ideology everything is relative and depends on how someone subjectively identifies there have been cases where able-bodied people began to identify as disabled use wheelchairs or damage their bodies to actually become disabled despite the lack of compatibility with reality and the
10:00 - 10:30 scientific method on which human progress is based woke began to dominate the spectrum of humanities while these began to morally dominate American campuses as wokeism developed its own concepts across many fields it simultaneously created mechanisms to defend these ideas against criticism this is how the so-called council culture emerged students increasingly demanded a ban on debates if one side had nonwoke views when lecturers express
10:30 - 11:00 themselves differently than the main commandments of wokeism for example acknowledging the existence of biological sex or critically approaching Islam in Quran analysis classes they were victims of harassment or reports to the administration this is well illustrated by the example of Kathleen Stark a British philosopher stalk spoke out against the gender self-identification act which allows gender change based on a declaration at an office without any
11:00 - 11:30 psychiatric and psychological examinations in response to Kathleen Stalk's statements and texts students organized a witch hunt against her at Sussex University posters against her were hung hostile letters were left at her door and she was shouted at in campus alleys other lecturers stopped saying hello to her and even signed a petition to expel her from the university for transphobia the famatry
11:30 - 12:00 posts appeared on social media and she was accused of hatred towards transsexuals ultimately Kathleen Stock resigned from Sussex University fearing for her own health when her story was publicized in major media outlets such as BBC or the Guardian she was invited to lecture at Oxford University because she received threats from trans activists she came to the lecture escorted by several security guards the phenomenon of cancel culture
12:00 - 12:30 took an exceptionally aggressive form towards journalists and public figures new York Times editor Adam Rubenstein left the editorial office after becoming the target of attacks following the publication of a text about using the army to restore order in the streets which were being destroyed and looted by Black Lives Matter activists liberal columnist Matthew Iglasias left a Vox magazine after a lynching for his
12:30 - 13:00 statements criticizing the defunding of police in connection with Black Lives Matters protests as well as criticizing saying quote Latinx instead of Latinos the form of Latinx is according to wokeists a form conducive to non-binarity such situation have become common throughout the west in the last decade and the woke revolution did not spur even the dead leading to toppling of monuments woke supporters labeled as
13:00 - 13:30 racists and fascists among others former US presidents UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill or one of the most important biologists in history Charles Darwin when these specific views were a deep niche they had little impact on the everyday life of the average person however when they began to spread from the beginning of the 21st century first at American and British universities and then also in the rest of Europe their influence increased dramatically woke
13:30 - 14:00 culture began to permeate the media even center-right outlets simultaneously it won the hearts of politicians in the Democratic Party in the USA Labor and Liberal Democrats in the UK Greens SPD in Germany civic platform and the left in Poland the Liberal Party of Canada or Prodemos and Social Democrats in Spain particularly intriguing is the story of the fantasy world superstar JK Rowling
14:00 - 14:30 in 2019 she stood up for Maya forator who lost her job for stating that sex cannot be changed then Rowling also wrote that saying quote menstruators or people without a uterus instead of a woman is not appropriate in response she faced a wave of criticism hate and even threats she began to be excluded from programs some actors playing the main roles distanced themselves from the writer and criticized her which Emma
14:30 - 15:00 Watson who played Hermon in the films did particularly fervently trans activists at one point began publishing photos of Rowling's home in Scotland on social media implying that she could not feel safe the conflict about the gender moved from media and universities to the common spaces of ordinary people new scandals kept erupting when men identifying as women began to appear in women's locker rooms bathrooms or changing rooms in all US states or EU
15:00 - 15:30 countries in various Western countries men also began to be transferred from male to female penitentiary facilities if they identified as women one of the most high-profile cases was transgender Scott Eisla Bryson biologically male who raped two women in 2016 and 2019 and then was placed in a women's prison this scandal combined with Scotland's preparation of a new legislation
15:30 - 16:00 facilitating gender change led to the fall of Scottish Prime Minister Nicolas Sturgeon in 2023 woke culture also led to gays and lesbians being thrown out of equality parades for their alleged transphobia a stark example was the lynching of a gay activist during an equality parade in the capital of Vermont trans activists knocked down 74year-old Fred Surgeent poured coffee on him trampled and
16:00 - 16:30 destroyed his banner criticizing the trans movement woke culture also established itself in the mainstream during Black Lives Matter protests especially after the killing of George Floyd in response to this event there were anti-racist protests throughout the United States however these were not ordinary anti-racist marches but often violent riots at the same time BLM activists demanded a reduction in funding for the police or
16:30 - 17:00 removal of the police institution which coincides with Michael Fuko's arguments authorities in many places bowed to this pressure by reducing funding for law enforcement services there was strong pressure from Democrats media universities corporations and non-governmental organizations not to criticize the riots disturbances and demands even if they involved violence and destruction the wokeist meto movement also gained
17:00 - 17:30 significance within which there was a wave of false accusations of molestation or rape mainly from women often celebrities influencers or activists writing me too on social media became a form of gaining popularity likes and drawing attention to oneself the results were lamentable actual cases of molestation and rape at work in all institutions which should be held accountable were covered up by
17:30 - 18:00 influencers or activists announcing me too and mass or resorting to specific public false accusations meanwhile the attempt to convince society that looking at a woman for too long is molestation or rape blurred the meaning of these words because if a look was rape then what do you call an actual rape from one side wokeists fight against rape culture but on the other hand they hinder or prevent criticism of actually
18:00 - 18:30 systemic sexual violence in Islamic culture where there are instances of marrying of little girls polygamy seen by wokeists as quote polyamory as well as physical violence and abuse against homosexual individuals publicly raised voices that such relationships should be prohibited in European countries and are tolerated in London Berlin Stockholm Paris or the Hog were immediately countered with accusations of
18:30 - 19:00 Islamophobia xenophobia and racism for the same reason the problem of Islamic Pakistani pedophile gangs whose victims included thousands of British girls and young female immigrants in the UK was swept under the rug in parallel large corporations began to attach themselves to all woke movements not only technology companies but also clothing pharmaceutical food biotechnology furniture banking or
19:00 - 19:30 transportation conglomerates corporations began to establish DEI units standing for diversity equity and inclusivity within which reporting on co-workers for alleged racism transphobia or fat phobia was facilitated dei centers ensured that black people or men identifying as women were treated better during recruitment jars with tempons for transsexual men and women identifying as non-binary
19:30 - 20:00 began to be placed in men's restrooms in offices at some point most Americans or Europeans including often those with center-left or moderately liberal views also began to be classified by mainstream activists journalists and politicians as fascists or far right because they did not deny the existence of two sexes because they did not agree to additional recruitment points for dark skin color because they did not
20:00 - 20:30 like the idea of abolishing the institution of police over time the entire movement began to evolve into such grotesque forms that even its proponents began to get lost in it ikea Poland once issued a quote lexicon of good language in which it argues that complimenting a black person for speaking Polish well is a manifestation of racism but complimenting a foreigner of different skin color is not racism the whole point
20:30 - 21:00 is that this practice was transferred from American guys on inclusivity it stems from the observation that actually racist Americans artificially compliment Africanameans for good American English to emphasize that using this language well is not something natural for Africanameans pointing out such barbs may in some context be justified but creating a handbook of good behavior for the entire
21:00 - 21:30 world on this basis is absurd and thus wokeism undermines the sense of unity based on a shared humanity it also largely rejects unity within the nation state framework instead it fragments society while paradoxically promoting solidarity around singular identity traits gender race obesity or transsexualism this fragmented approach to identity in work culture ultimately weakens broader
21:30 - 22:00 community bonds in this way the influence of work culture on society began to be very significant and since this movement was achieving social success it was followed by media corporations and politicians within identity politics people were hired for work and recruited to studies not necessarily evaluated on the basis of competence but on the values proclaimed by Woke during Joe Biden's
22:00 - 22:30 presidency the White House hired Rachel Lavine as an assistant secretary for health an admiral in the US uniformed health service who changed gender in 2024 it was revealed that during her service in the White House she pressured medical organizations to lower the recommended age for gender change and while at some point in history the campaign promoting wokeism might have been politically profitable it
22:30 - 23:00 eventually began to be a burden it is impossible not to notice that Kamala Harris's close ties with the movement had a significant impact on her defeat in the 2024 presidential election kamala Harris advocated for supporting the gender change movement the presence of men identifying as women in women's locker rooms and in women's sports on Twitter she said pronouns for herself which is a form of signaling that one supports work culture in the transsexual
23:00 - 23:30 current kamala Harris was criticized even by some feminists who pointed out that by recognizing men as women the number of women rapists in police statistics is rapidly increasing the percentage of men identifying as women present in women's prisons is also increasing quote "15% of women in prisons are transgender women." The New York Times recently reported Kamala Harris was also unable to criticize BLM
23:30 - 24:00 actions when activists were demolishing public spaces in Minneapolis Denver Chicago or New York however Harris's embrace of woke ideology failed to mobilize black voters as she received less support from this demographic than either Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Joe Biden in 2020 she also experienced significant erosion in Latino support of
24:00 - 24:30 course other factors also contributed to Kamala Harris's defeat related to migration the economy and organizational issues in connection with Joe Biden's forced resignation however Kamala Harris's support for wokeism seems to be one of the main elements that contributed to her defeat donald Trump who promised to ban children from changing gender or placing men identifying as women in female prisons gained the votes of those dissatisfied
24:30 - 25:00 with woke culture he critically referred to Black Lives Matter protests and broke with the rhetoric of self flagagillation on the international arena due to the past mistakes of colonialism although conflicts over transsexuality have become frequent and loud throughout Europe migration and Islam are the main political disruptors on the old continent criticism of the creation of parallel societies was suppressed from above skeptical voices were until
25:00 - 25:30 recently unthinkable despite increasingly frequent gigantic scandals such as mass New Year's Eve rapes in Germany additionally justified by German imams the breaking of the social fabric also includes the previously described pedophile gangs in Great Britain growing crime in France and the Netherlands Islamic no go neighborhoods in Sweden assaults on gays in Spain marriages of adult men to girls in the UK or regular
25:30 - 26:00 attacks in Paris Brussels Berlin Stockholm and other cities in mainstream media criticism of wokeism became inadmissible anyone who expressed skepticism or opposition to this situation was aggressively stigmatized the entire repetir of woke ideology was activated such a skeptic was called a fascist racist islamophobe or xenophobe woke culture in the form of unwavering support for immigration
26:00 - 26:30 prevailed in the European mainstream at the European level the theoretically conservative European people's party from Ursula Vandonderans comes also strongly supported a significant part of woke cultures demands led by uncritical tolerance of Muslim immigration the transsexual movement or wokeist postcolonialism according to which Europe should apologize for its ancestors this led to a situation where the far
26:30 - 27:00 right as the only one speaking loudly about apologies is gaining importance and receiving increasing social support this is visible throughout Europe but it is not known where this will lead will the governments of farright and nationalist parties contribute to European integration or rather to the disintegration of European ties or worse to conflicts the Russian Federation and the Communist Party of China benefit most from the
27:00 - 27:30 weakening of European integration a divided European Union in which internal border controls are being restored instead of protecting external borders is a dream come true for Russian imperialism the woke movement itself by forcing the European Union to promote Muslim immigration or the legality of changing children's gender presented the Russian Federation with yet another gift in the face of the prevalence of the woke movement the Kremlin and the
27:30 - 28:00 Associated Russian Orthodox Church began to selfidentify as the word bastion of Christianity anti-lgbt rhetoric has been permanently inscribed in the argumentation of the war with Ukraine and the broader understood west as a fight against satanic people the Kremlin's disinformation apparatus very skillfully began to use this narrative which found fertile ground in the United States including figures such as Tucker Carlson
28:00 - 28:30 who became a staunch promoter of Russia as a conservative enclave or Jordan Peterson who from a critic of woke but also totalitarian regimes became an element of the Kremlin's war against Ukraine claiming that NATO is responsible for starting the war of course the facts totally contradict the alleged narrative presented by the Kremlin participation in religious services in Russia is at a lower level than in many countries of the quote
28:30 - 29:00 degenerate West including the Netherlands Great Britain or Germany not to mention Poland or Romania the same applies to the number of abortions which in Russia are significantly higher than in the USA or Europe and in Russia as many as twothirds of marriages end in divorce let's add that in many places in Russia for example in Murminesk there is a huge percentage of people with fetal alcohol syndrome which means that many
29:00 - 29:30 Russian women drink alcohol during pregnancy all this data contradicts the image created by the Kremlin but it nevertheless proved effective today leading faces of the new American administration such as JD Vance Pete Hexf or Tulsi Gabbard look at Russia quite positively among other things due to this artificially created image however as quickly as woke established itself in Western societies
29:30 - 30:00 equally quickly a kind of counterrevolutionary process began to take place social media accelerated the spread of woke culture and its implementation into the official policies of universities non-governmental organizations corporations and state institutions however when the winds of change blew they accelerated its downfall since woke culture spread most extensively in the area of the transsexual movement naturally it begins

30:30 - 31:00 recommending that legislation be introduced similar to Finland and Sweden among the reasons cited was the simply incomprehensible number of teenagers declaring themselves transsexual in the UK the increase was 4,400% over 10 years in Belgium 4,200% in 15 years in Sweden 1,700% quote "From one day to the next
31:00 - 31:30 at Gregorio Maranon Hospital we are witnessing a sudden explosion in the number of teenagers claiming to be transgender what was once rare just one or two cases per year in our world has become remarkably common with 15 to 20% of all admitted adolescents now identifying as transgender for many of these teenagers this appears to be influenced by social trends rather than genuine gender dysphoria said
31:30 - 32:00 psychiatrist professor Selso Arango in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo in 2022 British authorities closed the Tavistock Clinic which changed children's gender the decision was made in connection with an increasing number of lawsuits for mutilation after these children grew up and began to understand what had been done to them also in 2022 the French Academy of Medicine issued a statement warning against gender change
32:00 - 32:30 procedures in 2024 the entire United Kingdom banned gender change for minors which was also supported by Social Democrats from the Labor Party at the beginning of this year Donald Trump signed an order to stop funding gender change for people under 19 years of age from federal funds and announced further work on banning gender change for children during all these legislations further scientific studies were published showing that gender
32:30 - 33:00 change does not improve patients mental state but worsens it and also causes irreversible health changes a number of investigations were also published a journalist writing for the New York Times Jesse Single discovered that in studies that were supposed to confirm that gender change is beneficial for health results and conclusions were falsified the data showed no improvement but rather deterioration but in the results and conclusions scientists wrote
33:00 - 33:30 that patients showed clear improvement departure from work culture is also visible in sports initially local bans on men's participation in women's sports were introduced by organizations operating at universities soon individual US states began to enact such bans and currently the White House and the American Parliament are working on a nationwide ban they argue that biological males maintain physical
