IMO,

After studying some of the USAID stuff, I personally think Wokeness was rolled out as a subversion weapon against the unified populist uprising occurring around 2010 in response to the 2008 financial crash and bailouts. Occupy Wall St started as a significant threat, unifying both left and right leaning populists against a common enemy. So the Intel agencies rolled out their#1mass movement subversion weapon, creating and stoking ideological splits in a movement which lead to infighting and ineffectiveness.
