The Role of Violence in the History of Wokeism

The secular framework of the secularization of shared spaces is under threat. "Race" is promoted as a "grid for reading the world", in the very words of the President of the CNRS. In reality, the violence is indeed on the side of decolonial thought, which intends to impose silence on those who do not fit into the framework that they claim to impose in the name of an ideology that they struggle to name. The open society, presented as an improbable horizon, is only a pretext to legitimize in the eyes of its zealous promoters the exercise of force for the advent of an "open future".[1]Who does not see the seeds of tyranny in this masquerade?

The 3 attacks on the democratic spirit in the management of companies and administrations conveyed by wokism

The influence of Anglo-Saxon liberal models disseminated by Brussels on Research

The European Research Council (ERC) budget for the seven-year Horizon Europe programme amounts to €16 billion, dedicated to EU member states and associated nations, under the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FPRI). Is France autonomous in its higher education policy? No, because it conforms to European policies inspired by the United Nations aimed at achieving externally set objectives.

When sociologists legitimize riots

No sociologist who cares about preserving a minimum of dignity and credibility for the latter can identify with a group that dishonors itself in this way. As for those who support this distressing motion, we suggest that they reserve their activism for the radical left, whose positions they are thus borrowing. A text signed by:
