Where did wokeism come from. (nationalist, abortion, vs, Seattle)

I think it’s a bit of a chain reaction. Started years ago with participation medals and the notion that everyone is special. This morphed to huge doses of self entitlement and this general notion of supposed equality followed with a healthy dosage for the need to voice your opinions and cry like a baby when the cause they are fighting for doesn’t materialize.

You know I can't help but think of the "squad" and Pelosi when I hear and read "wokeism"

come on people. Wokeism is directly from the Frankfort School.

all this stuff about American culture is nutty nonsense.

This is about finding ways to divide the culture and create tribalism and balkanization. This is about driving a political agenda.

My final thoughts on wokeism from my understanding. The ideology has three origins. One origin is Anglo Saxon protestantism such as puritanism and its off springs, it also comes from philosophy from folks like Kant, Hegel and Neitche and last from adapted Marxism. I also notice that the ideology is very white, and is highly academic in which the ideology is followed by educated whites and is pushed down on to the masses. Woke people are not, bad, many do mean well. They just have a view of the world that they look for things that are exterstenial belief in which good vs evil, have an us vs them, along with Marx conflict theory of oppressed vs oppressor. Aswell as conformity with silence, cant make jokes and must have correct opinions views or thoughts. And the ideology has yet been able to find forgiveness.

The ideology mainly exist in the Anglosphere and was born in the Anglosphere due to Anglosphere being the most privilege and prosperous civilization in human history. This way of thinking does not exist much outside of the 5 eyes. The ideology has captured institutions and can be exported to other countries via existing imperialism routes like trade or neo colonialism even though the woke talks good game about decoloniality. I hope the ideology dies out, however it Wont go away. It may look like the Anglosphere might need a 2nd Enlightenment not based on equality but equity to appease the woke people, especially since the woke people are critical of the original Enlightenment of John Locke, Thomas Payne and Adam Smith.

My big concern with woke is fervor and militancy like any other ideology.
