Or do &#8211; and lie about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how can we show just how bad things were at Twitter (and by extension other Big Tech platforms, including Facebook, and the often-overlooked LinkedIn, where I was permanently banned).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we can thank Musk for uncovering the depths of leftist wokeness which had spread like ideological cancer at Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, as Musk continued his&nbsp;overhaul of Twitter, he said he had stumbled upon a closet chock full of &#8220;#StayWoke&#8221; t-shirts at the company\u2019s headquarters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Found in closet at Twitter HQ fr \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3xSI3KvvHk\">pic.twitter.com\/3xSI3KvvHk<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1595250835096621057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 23, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fox Business&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/elon-musk-housecleaning-twitter-hq-finds-staywoke-t-shirts-pledges-earn-trust\">noted<\/a>&nbsp;that Twitter co-founder and former&nbsp;CEO Jack Dorsey&nbsp;infamously wore a &#8220;#StayWoke&#8221; t-shirt during an interview with journalist Peter Kafka for ReCode\u2019s Code conference over six years ago in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked to explain his shirt, Dorsey said the meaning has evolved over time but &#8220;to me\u2026 it\u2019s really being aware, and staying aware, and keep questioning.&#8221;\u00a0<br><br>Unfortunately, that is NOT the meaning of \u2018woke\u2019 most follow today.\u00a0<br><br>Instead, it now means an increasingly intolerant leftist ideology centered on promoting radical agendas such as transgender transitioning of children, bullying friends, and allies to accept LGBT views and policies, and imposing anti-white racist indoctrination, along with many other extremist and socialist ideas.<br><br>And along with this agenda, leftist \u2018wokesters\u2019 also believe in crushing any dissent of these radical views, by censoring or canceling anyone who dares disagree.\u00a0<br><br>As Fox Business\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/elon-musk-housecleaning-twitter-hq-finds-staywoke-t-shirts-pledges-earn-trust\">wrote<\/a>: \u201cWith the rise of cancel culture, many have interpreted &#8220;woke&#8221; to describe people who would rather silence their critics than listen to them.\u201d<br><br>Hopefully, this will now change; at least at Twitter.
