The conflict between "anti-PC" and "woke" in its entirety is in service of power. A perpetual screaming match between poor and middle-class people, about topics that have little to no bearing on profits, is ideal for corporate elites.
- clairity 6y agoyes, there's some truth to that, but the latter group isn't aligned with power, even if the discussion serves the powerful's aims.
- panzagl 6y agoWhat do you mean? "Woke" is all about people with privilege trying to shield that privilege behind their correctthink as they attempt to disenfranchise the lower classes of their political rivals. "Woke" people do to Arkansas rednecks the same thing they accuse their opponents of doing to inner-city minorities.
- clairity 6y ago"woke" people are more diverse than you claim, and certainly less privileged on average. perhaps the "privileged woke" people you speak about over-exert their privilege, but that's a conquence of privilege, not wokeness.
- antepodius 6y agoWokeness and its methods are by their nature an amazing social shield and sword, so they attract the sort of people who want to cloak themselves in righteousness and tear into others.
- clairity 6y agopossibly, but then, never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance. i can't say how many such folks there might be, but in any case, it's more likely that they're pursuing their aims of fairness/justice badly, not maliciously.
