This section brings together all the analyses classified under this theme.
Our theme involves various issues where we are led to use the terms "culture", "minority", "majority" and "law". Each term must be defined anew, given the imprecision of words in the media, political life and in our university institution, the latter in particular contaminated by the current Woke movement.
So we – detractors of wokeism – would be driven by the “hatred of emancipation”, if we are to believe the title of François Cusset’s pamphlet, faced with the “youth of the world” who – if we are to believe its subtitle – would finally be “standing up”? For this Americanist, historian of ideas and in particular of French theory, “emancipation” is the key word – but emancipation from what, exactly? We will never know, as the word functions essentially as a slogan. The same goes for other fetish words that recur in the text, coded expressions erected as militant rallying signs: "worn stereotypes" (no, they are not his but, he claims, ours), "heteronormative stereotypes", "gender assigned at birth", "white males", "hard or extreme right", "moral panic", "market forces", "dominant media", "the established order", "social order", "elites"... Nothing out of the ordinary, in short - even banally populist.
Think of the possible psychological effects of this Goya painting – which would certainly make anyone lose their appetite – in which Saturn greedily devours his own children? The Spanish artist may have anticipated the stylistic revolutions that were to come later, but what does that matter? Should we show such horrors to young people? Of course not! What we need are works that make us proud of who we are (whatever that means), and certainly not works that glorify cannibalism! I am exhausted… But I cannot stop: there is still much work to be done. We must be more sensitive to others, erase everything that offends us – or, better: what offends me! These ideas will not fail to galvanize workers and independent voters in the coming electoral battles! But that is for another time! I am still learning! And I look forward to seeing what new lessons tomorrow will bring us.
In addition to interministerial associations and delegations, several ministries disseminate gender ideology and particularly transactivism, notably that of National Education. For example, the former National Institute of Pedagogical Research, which became the Canopé Network, recently invited schoolchildren to “deconstruct kinship”, while researching the meaning of the prefixes “hetero”, “homo”, “trans”, “cis”, “inter” and “bi” — proof that ancient languages have not said their last word. It offers teachers a webinar on “the fight against LGBTIphobia” where we suddenly learn that “secular heritage” is “potentially LGBTIphobic”.
Yet one would expect someone like Mr. Fassin who presents himself as a sociologist to go beyond the proclaimed intentions of certain actors, especially when they are subject to sectarian influences (this is the ABC of sociology), and a feminist to refrain from promoting religious patriarchy. For those who have not understood what the "useful idiots of Islamism" are, here is a perfect illustration.
