> 'Wokeism' (or at least significant parts of it) is, contrary to popular opinion, not an elite project. The reason why it has actual pull in society is because it to a large degree comes out of fairly old-school, activist organizing.

Identity politics was pushed by the elite to divide the underclass into small pieces. After Occupy Wall Street, they shifted the national discussion and focus away from class to identity.
