Advice For Unwoke Academic?

Scott relays a now-un-fireable academic's question -- how to fight campus wokeness -- and frames two strategies: Fabian (become a beloved institutional pillar, fight quietly from committees, escalate only the obvious overreaches and claim easy wins) vs Berserker (deliberately pick winnable fights, invite controversial speakers, sue and very visibly win, accept never gaining power). Then crowdsources by laying out the considerations: what message a hard-won victory sends (hope vs 'this looks horrible'), whether the George Floyd moment was woke power or woke overreach, the harsh historical verdict on the confrontational New Atheists, MLK/Malcolm X both being 'Berserker', the Canadian-trucker precedent that normalized freezing protesters' accounts, the current 'wokeness as 1990s Christianity' trajectory and the fear of a 'soft landing' where the bureaucratic apparatus persists by inertia. Ends by explicitly throwing it open to readers ('tell me what you think').

Quality 65 · Strong. Strong/Solid edge. The Fabian/Berserker dichotomy and the considerations are sharp and well-framed, but the piece is explicitly a crowdsourcing post -- a well-structured question rather than a developed argument or conclusion. Low Strong.

Claude’s paradigm shift 42 · Moderate. Moderate, low. The Fabian/Berserker framing is a useful applied dichotomy, not a novel idea; the post deliberately reaches no thesis.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. Minor. Within the culture-war-strategy discourse; no material reach. 2.
