Part 7/9:
The Resurgence of Traditional Values and the Fall of Wokeness
The decline of woke culture is viewed as a victory for traditionalism and common sense. The contrast is made sharply with the past, where political correctness and cultural absurdities ran rampant. The speaker laments how stories, ads, and campaigns used to promote an age of authenticity and natural beauty, now replaced with incomprehensible and often controversial messaging.
The narrative draws a parallel with historical France: just as the Bourbon kings‘ monarchy was eventually restored after upheaval, current cultural wars suggest that the old values and norms are returning, often through resistance to progressive overreach.
