The revelation came while I was watching Antiques Roadshow. So, this is what drives the"woke" revolution. I should explain that the Antiques Roadshow, a BBC program that has been running since the '70s, has a special cultural place in Britain. The format is always the same. The presenters rock up in a pretty provincial town, local people ransack their attics for heirlooms to be valued, some bits of old junk turn out to be expensive, and everyone gets excited.
After offering a valuation, the presenter pressed the sisters on whether they would be happy to repatriate the robe to Africa. The women, looking flustered, said that, yes, of course, they would. And that was when it hit me. The whole demented moment through which we are passing is really all about fashion. People go along with"woke" for the reason they go along with every other trend: because it’s awkward not to.
Of course, all these considerations are trumped by the ruling idea of our age, namely that anything done by white men in Africa must have been wrong. Racial politics trumps what would normally be considered good manners. Thus, for example, the Church of England has returned two Benin bronzes that were given to the then-archbishop of Canterbury all the way back in, er, 1982.
"Fashion" may seem a trivial word for it. But terrible things can happen for reasons of mimicry. The dreadful rise of school shootings, for example, seems to be driven mainly by copycat violence.
