I applaud your strident commitment to objective standards. I too lament the deplorable influence of rap/hip-hop—for both its aesthetic and moral deficiencies—but ‘wokeism’ clearly condenses all previous trends into a singular form, while charging it with a fresh revolutionary power. Libertarians like Cowen, who would reduce all traditional cultures (including our own) to the relentless leveling force of the market, are naked philistines who see nothing in our shared patrimony but interchangeable commodities. «Mammonism»? «Warenfetischismus»? Whatever name it takes, it always tends towards a common logical outcome.
