"They include “nativist narratives” that “oppose migration”, “gender and sexuality narratives” that touch on drag queens and trans issues as “part of a wider ‘anti-woke’ narrative that mocks social justice campaigns”, and “environment narratives” that criticise climate-change policies and Greta Thunberg."

Normal citizens in Ireland or Europe don't talk like this. Brainwashed, sectarian minds do.

Well, yes, that's why all that lot is in quotes. That's why you had a Daily Express article claiming that posters on the Tube reminding people to drink water in hot conditions were "woke"; ""anti-wokeness"" is yelling at clouds.

You don't need to be a sectarian person to criticise climate change policies.

It's authoritarianism plain and simple.

The slippery slope is only a falacy if the slope isn't actually slippery

It wasn't even slippery to begin with: it's already happened.
