I heard that explanation floated for why crime is being allowed to get so out of hand in some cities: businesses move out, commercial real estate tanks, connected interests buy up the property.

One idea for what's driving "get woke go broke" is just that companies implemented degree requirements for important positions, colleges indoctrinated woke ideology, corporate decisions became woke.

A more nefarious idea is that the agenda is being pushed because it's so socially divisive and powerful interests are concerned about rising populist sentiments. They can afford to sacrifice a few brands if it keeps people from turning against the entire corrupt system that enriches them.

Your point about real estate makes a lot of sense. Obviously there are a lot of true believers out there but you have to assume it's all get shut down quick smart if someone wasn't making money.

The universities definitely have a lot to answer for, but the pseudo soviet structure than most corporations are based on facilitates all this as well since most people who actually work within the organisation are concerned with personal power and identity politics is the best way to rise up the ranks.

And I agree strongly with your final point - the war against populism is the main driver behind everything we've seen since the Occupy/Tea Party movements and it's gone into overdrive since 2016.

Beating the life out of the inner cities is only phase one. Phase two will be after the redevelopment into Agenda 2030 human habitation zones, when they drive everybody back out of the countryside into the cities.

Part of the issue with corporate structure definitely comes from various labor regulations, which are very unclear, so they just play it safe and over promote as many minority groups as they can.

Another part of the internal wokeness of corporations is due to the knowledge that it prevents unionization. There was an Amazon-Whole Foods memo to that effect leaked recently. Identity obsessed workers can't cooperate enough to form unions.
