What’s Next for Wokeism?
By Allan J. Feifer

Twenty-five years ago, I told a friend that we would likely bear witness to the acceptance and even protection of several abhorrent social or political practices.  That came true, but it didn’t stop there.  We've witnessed a disturbing sea change in how we view these new social norms — norms at which we once shook our heads.  How could I have predicted this?  I simply recognized the downward trajectory of what used to be considered normal to surmise what could be next.

During the 1980s and 1990s, the social norms listed below were largely unacceptable; eventually the practices became mainstream through the strident promotion by activists and ineffective pushback by traditional institutions:

Open homosexuality, coupled with the very public promotion of the lifestyle

Gay Marriage

Transgenderism

Sex by consenting children with young adults

Open Borders

Anti-Capitalism

The acceptance of recreational drug use as acceptable behavior

Rampant crime and reduced punishment

Society no longer requires work to live

Single-parent constructs as equal to two-parent families

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
