Woke ideology promotes power imbalance. It simulates real change as theater.

It convinces the weak minded that if a megacorporation has a black CEO, and rainbow flags on the wall, they are "good". That megacorporation can be destroying small business all across the country, manipulating realestate prices to drive people out, and dumping toxic chemicals into rivers, and as long as they present "woke", they are applauded. It puts change entirely on the surface, and leaves all of the real corruption intact.

Of all the insidious ideas that keeps people impoverished, woke is superceeded only by outright slavery.
