call the great awokening, mightjust be about to pass? if you look at the reaction, for instance, to this controversy about roald dahl. we're winning the war. if you look at what happened with roald dahl, with roald dahl, when some people are saying it should be edited so that you're allowed to say the word "enormous" but not allowed to say the word "fat". ludicrous. but the reaction to that suggested to me that a lot of people, even on the left of politics, who you might have thought of as being part of the cancel culture, thought this is not a good use of time or brain cells. it's not that. it's actually because the woke worm has turned. the war against the wokery — and by wokery i don't mean what woke originally was intended to mean, which was a raised awareness of social and racial injustice. i've studied all the history, i've put it all in my book, you know, and i made the point that i am woke by that distinction. but what it's become is a form of fascism. it's become a mind—set of people on the hard left who just want to basically have everybody conform to their worldview. isn't fascism slightly overstating it? it's not, because it's the same ideology. look, there's fascism in theory and there's fascism in practice.
