How The Unhinged Left Just Doubled Down On Woke

Now they're looking for an excuse to be violent.

Woke 1 was Crazy. Woke 2 is batsh*t.

These people haven’t gone dormant. They haven’t gone anywhere, to the chagrin of the sane. They roam the streets of every blue city and every privileged, progressive campus, and now they’ve descended on Ithaca, New York, where, we’re told, bloodthirsty, ferocious fraternities stew in a devilish circle, waiting to drug and pounce on their next completely innocent victim!

I’m kidding, of course. Yet that is apparently how some freshly sprung, straight-out-of-the-loony-bin leftists think, and their animalistic behavior reflects it.

Michael Tracey, the journalist who revealed the identity of “Jane Doe,” the former Cornell student at the center of her newfound “gang rape allegations” against former Cornell fraternity men (with whom, two years prior, she willingly, knowingly, and consensually engaged in multiple threesomes), tried to attend a “Justice for Jane Doe” rally in Ithaca. His reception before he even neared the premises of this strange cesspool is further proof that Woke 2 is worse.

He was called a rapist, told to kill himself, screamed at, and, of course, escorted out by police.

The rally, likely funded and organized on the taxpayer dime by the city, was chock-full of people who either (a) have no job, (b) have no children, (c) have no life, (d) have daddy issues, (e) have unresolved trauma, or (f) all of the above.

I have a normal amount, not a suicidal amount, of empathy for those who have been victimized in legitimate sexual assault instances. However, it isn’t rape apologism to say that Jane Doe’s case is not evidence of rape. Period. I exhaustively spelled this out in multiple videos, detailing how in 2024 this woman admitted to consenting and having a good time with the men, controlling what happened in the frat rooms and who was allowed to snort substances off her, telling the men it was “their bodies, their choice” and to not be ashamed of their sexual deviancy, and that she wanted to go back to the frat for a Halloween party and was upset upon hearing she was uninvited.

But of course the protesters don’t care about the record. They want an excuse to don matching “I Am Jane Doe” T-shirts so they can finally feel a sense of community with someone, anyone. They want an outlet for their rage and a stage for their middle fingers against the patriarchy, because somewhere along the way someone told them the patriarchy was oppressing them. They want to parade in full-antlered, black-clad Wiccan regalia and ill-fitting witch costumes three weeks before Halloween, because their therapist assured them it’s perfectly fine to identify as a she/him/id/idiot.

They want an excuse to be violent, and this is how they express it, in scenes that look like a hideous mash-up of a Satanic circus and a clown show.

Oh, how I wish they’d haul their anti-alleged-rape, pseudo-feminist, performative protests over to Iran. Try that regime on for size.

But these protests metastasize here, in the free world, because (1) we are privileged beyond belief, and (2) that privilege has bred a bored, belligerent, perpetually aggrieved beast. Liberals, especially young women, are more likely to excuse political violence, endorse the shutting down of speech, and receive a mental illness diagnosis. They are less likely to marry, less likely to be happy, and less likely to sustain an iota of logical consistency across any political topic.

Take Alex Cooper. A pretty blonde who parlayed her talent and freedoms into an athletic scholarship to Boston College, she spent her college years partying and perfecting her pursuit of athletic men. She then rocketed to fame on Spotify preaching the Gluk Gluk 3000, a technique far too R-rated to explain here, alongside a steady stream of bewailing, degrading, and manipulating men. Today she is a millionaire who continues to preach promiscuity to young women while she herself is married and eight months pregnant.

The moral and logical inconsistencies start there, but they don’t end there.

She recently hosted a Cornell professor, Kate Manne, on her podcast, where the two complained ad nauseam about fraternity men, rape culture, and how she and so many other women are Jane Does.

More like Jane Hoe, babe. First of all, Lucy H. Craig, as identified by Michael Tracey, was not raped, according to her own statements. Second, Mrs. Cooper, forgive us if we laugh in your face when you ask how we got here, to a point in our culture where we’re “still talking about #MeToo.” We got here because people like you glorified casual sex, cheating, sleeping with as many men as possible, and getting gang-banged for years, then packaged it for a very young, very impressionable female audience.

In 2019, she recorded an episode about her friend who agreed to a threesome, in which the boys texted more of their male friends to “tap in” to the disgusting session in which the girl’s mascara ended up “on the hardwood floor.” Cooper laughed about that. She promoted it. That was her entire brand for a decade. Yet now that a girl heeded Cooper’s own wisdom and regretted it, the “Call Her Daddy” host acts as though she hasn’t the faintest clue how any of this began! Certain women are still acting untoward on college campuses after presumably listening to this second-ranked podcast on Spotify, and claiming rape when word gets out that they agreed to an orgy? Who could’ve foreseen this very obvious endpoint to a liberal and lustful lifestyle?!

I don’t know, maybe conservatives? The Church? Anyone with a brain?

She’s just as bad as Andrew Tate. 

It’s become commonplace in this terrifying timeline we’re on for young women, especially leftists, to blame everyone but themselves for the problems they face. Kill your child via strangulation? Blame the doctors. Regret repeatedly consenting to sex and drugs? Blame the man. Wear promiscuous and revealing clothing to the gym? Blame the guy who notices.

I, for one, believe rapists should be castrated. If a crime was committed, prosecute it, and send the perpetrator to prison for a very long time, perhaps minus a limb. Criminality should be punished. But we should not stretch the definition of a crime to include or exclude acts we dislike or favor based on the policy whim of the day.

Because when people are calling for the death of young men who committed no crime, yet shut their eyes and hold their noses when a convicted illegal-immigrant rapist is released onto the streets to strike again, you no longer have a sound-minded society.

The “Jane Doe” rally attendees are quite obviously proof of that.

And P.S. The Daily Wire will likely make a movie mocking all of these people because that is what we do, and we are awesome.
