How woke destroyed woke

The Sierra Club has lost 60% of its members in the past six years. Instead of staying in its environmental lane, it decided, of course, to embrace mission creep and make issues like Palestine into ‘environmental issues’.

The also created their own language guide.

It issued an “equity language guide,” which warned employees to be cautious about using the words “vibrant” and “hardworking,” because they reinforced racist tropes. “Lame duck session” was out, because “lame” was offensive. Even “Americans” should be avoided, the guide said, because it excluded non-U. S. citizens.

After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, the group called for defunding the police and providing reparations for slavery.

Sierra Club’s equity language guide: “It’s never acceptable to use the word ‘lame,’ which is considered to be a slur.” https://t.co/n3u67m3iiN pic.twitter.com/ZzCmiIXiM8

With all of that, they forgot to keep their eyes on the prize. Which, of course, was the environment.

One Sierra Club volunteer told the newspaper that she remembered a conversation with a staff member who she said was more interested in DEI than saving wolves:

Ms. Malone thought that someone else in the chapter had filed a complaint. She recalled an incident when a club staff member had scolded her for saying that the club should lobby Colorado’s legislature for more protections for wolves.

“One of the staff said, ‘That’s fine, Delia. But what do wolves have to do with equity, justice and inclusion?’” Ms. Malone said.

There’s a whole bunch of irony here.

  2. It seems to happen to most liberal organizations, call it the Greta Thunberg syndrome.

    1. Titanic was sunk by impact with an iceberg. Woke was sunk by impact with a Thunberg. Hmmm….and in the case of the latter, nothing of value was lost.

  3. Demonrats and other progressive liberals just can’t seem to keep their noses out of other peoples business. In searching for “control” of everything, they lose sight of why their organization came into being originally.

    Being the busy bodies they are, they have no concept of “stay in your lane”.

  5. Speaking of lanes-not-stayed-in (was this somehow a segue from yesterday’s donut discourse?) the funniest (and only funny) line I ever heard comic Jerry Stiller deliver, absolutely straight-faced…

    “F*ck the homeless. What have they ever done for Israel?”

  6. MWC – Stiller’s remark came as a result of debates about what can be done for the homeless community (in Cali, I believe). His priorities were clearly not aligned with the social workers’ goals, similar to how the Sierra Club member prioritizing DEI has nothing to do with saving wolves.

    Ok, it was a stretch. I’ll try to focus, going forward.

  7. Lame is out, but retard is back in.

    1. Which is well and fine, but we’ve reached a point of truly needing something much stronger than “retard” in the lexicon. I guess I feel that the much dreaded R word no longer has the ability to raise hackles and offend (with intent) as it once did. In much the same way “fuck” has become filler for so many people who casually use it with the same frequency as “um” and “like”. Saying “Greta is a retard” is now treated more as a statement of established fact, than a diss. Just an observation.

  8. How about this: let the wolves “naturally manage” the Woke DEI types. Problem solved…..

  9. The wolves were chosen and introduced from a pack known the kill livestock. Shocker that Wolves are killing cattle and livestock in Colorado now. Big cities voting for wolves, not near them, of course. They need to release them in downtown Boulder. If a wolf is attacking your dog, you are supposed to just let it happen…one might think wolves are actually an attack on farming and ranching…

    They also apparently hate and kill coyotes, which Colorado does have natively. So, now I feel sorry for coyotes.
