6:46Now PlayingIn this segment of Dumpster Fire, host Bridget Phetasy walks through the real history of woke culture years before COVID gave it teeth. From Yale forcing out a lecturer over a Halloween costume email to James Gunn and Kevin Hart losing their dream jobs over decade-old jokes, she traces the cancel crusade that was already in full swing. Seattle declared math racist, radio stations pulled Baby It's Cold Outside for being too rapey, and they even tried to cancel Renoir, all while COVID was still years away. Bridget argues that the pandemic was just the excuse these people needed to seize the control they had always wanted, and warns that nobody ever repeals a government emergency. The media will launder the cleanup too, and it will work.
