Summary
New College of Florida has reinstated a controversial course on “wokeness,” led by British media personality Andrew Doyle, amid criticism over its one-sided portrayal of “wokeness” as a cult.
The course’s reading list includes Doyle’s own books and works by rightwing figures like Christopher Rufo, who has claimed that antiracist government policies would bring about “an end to the constitutional order.”
The college, under Governor Ron DeSantis’s influence, is undergoing a conservative transformation that has sparked backlash from students and staff, who report discomfort with the new administration’s ideological agenda.
The course’s reinstatement reflects the college’s shift toward rightwing educational reforms.
We’re at about 1933. Hitler is about to consolidate power, surround himself with only the most loyal, and purge the military of anyone outside of the ideology.
The propaganda machine will need to expand rapidly to support that effort.
When do the generals start plotting an assassination? I’m not calling for one, I’m just wondering where that is on the timeline.
You know, it is kind of interesting (and I know this wasn’t the point of your comment). Most of them were not by generals, but assassination attempts on Hitler numbered more than 40, and the first one was the year before he took national office.
The first by a known perpetrator was from Bavarian politician Ludwig Aßner, who sent Hitler a poisoned letter in 1933.
That’s super interesting! And the point of my comment was actually to find out interesting things so yeah, your reply was totally in the spirit of things.
