""Wokism and Hypermorality: Notes on the New Virtue Vigilantism""

In the current political debate, moral convictions are increasingly determining the public debate. The book ""Wokism and Hypermorality"" poses the burning questions of our society: Who and what is behind modern virtue guardians? Why is political correctness becoming the standard for correct action and thought in all areas of life? And what effects does this moral overzealousness have on freedom of expression, social discourse and our democratic values?

This book offers a critical analysis of the modern wokism movement and the hypermorality associated with it. It uncovers the mechanisms behind cancel culture, virtue signaling and alleged moral superiority. With astute observations and pointed arguments, the author shows how the balance between tolerance and moral dominance is in danger and what price we as a society could pay for it.

Who is this book for?

For anyone who wants to understand the term wokism and question its effects on our society. For critics of cancel culture who are looking for a well-founded and fact-based argument. For those interested in politics and society who want to delve deeper into the discourse on identity politics, freedom of expression and social change.

Why should you read this book? ""Wokism and Hypermorality"" is essential reading for anyone who is not satisfied with simple answers to current questions, but wants to understand the background and reflect on the consequences of the current moral vigilance. Provocative, precise and current - this book not only stimulates thought, but also offers new perspectives on the most important socio-political debates of our time.

Immerse yourself in an insightful analysis that re-explores the boundaries of morality, tolerance and freedom.

Ich wurde sozialisiert (wie man heutzutage sagt) in einem Land vor dieser Zeit. Ich war in der evangelischen Jugend, verweigerte den Reservedienst, verlor meinen Job, machte Gelegenheitsjobs füuuml;r die evangelische Kirche, wurde unregelmäauml;ßig von zwei Herren im Trenchcoat besucht. Die üblichen Spielereien der Macht. Also nichts was nicht Hunderte / Tausende andere genauso oder schlimmer erlebt hätten. Ich war nicht der Typ, der mit gesenktem Kopf und erhobener Faust durch die Gegend lief. Ich nahm die ""Bonzen"" einfach nur beim Wort. Das genügte um sie vorzuführen und sich bei ihnen unbeliebt zu machen.
