[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 442998, member: 57984"] Unfortunately, that was never what woke-ism was ever about. When it got started a decade or so ago, it was so extreme and ridiculous that I figured it was some kind of intel psy-op to bring the left down. Turns out I was kinda-sorta right. Last year, the USAID files came out and they revealed that they were fomenting wokeness overseas to destabilize the culture in countries where they wanted to facilitate regime-change. (Which is why many nations don't want our "humanitarian help"). So, if they're doing it around the world, why wouldn't they bring it home to their own people for the same reasons? Well, it turns out they did. Several years ago, AOC admitted that "there's no political Left left in Washington," conceding that the Democrats are really center and center-right, and the Republicans are right and far-right." So, AOC knows. But she was on-board with the woke-ism stuff because it was en vogue and a prerequisite to survive the Democratic party at the time. And the "identity" politics helped deflect attention away from the fact that the Democrats were doing nothing to help the middle class (beyond the rhetoric). [/QUOTE]
