Reaffirming his stance on the concept of wokeism, John sparked a debate, with individuals from across Twitter, all with differing opinions on the matter challenging his views, and him coming back at them.

One user, @tucsonmike tweeted at the star: “I briefly cover Wokeism in the book I wrote Monty Python Ruined My Life.

“Wokeism is as dangerous to Liberal Democracy as Fascism.

“The only difference is the fork in the road. I’m writing a Dystopian Novel based on this. I figure if both extremes hate me, I must be doing well.”

The strongly worded stance on the issue was again commented on by John, who replied: “I don’t think I agree that they are equal threats.

“But the threat to liberal democratic principles coming from Wokeism must not be underrated.

“Any kind of binary thinking is a challenge to reality, and is a core element of prejudice of all kinds.”

For John, the principles of liberal democracy, which he shared in a tweet, include the following: “It’s the ability to make your mind up for yourself, rather than being ordered about by social media groups.”
