Everywhere, radical left-wing militant groups patrol and punish with a barrage of indignation any deviation from the new political correctness. This gives rise to controversies that are now commonly referred to as «woke». Although they are in the minority, they are by no means innocent. They are part of an ever-growing political project, the tactics of which it is important to understand. Analysis.

Many of the polemics that pepper media and political life - such as the recent double «Claude-Inga Barbey affair» - have one thing in common: they are based on an insignificant fact. A member of parliament clumsily imitates the accent of the Congolese in Tintin in the Congo, a comedian pokes fun at a few overzealous LGBT activists, a journalist fails to include women in his «bonjour à tous»: nothing of the sort.
