woke/Fox News Cult.
I recommend a little less parochialism, and more historical scholarship.All populist politics needs to appeal to its clientele with simplistic, easy to grasp utopias that are claimed to be in easy grasp after "we" win power, whether it's
the classless society of Marxism,
notions of paradise in various religions (e.g. 72 seventy-two houri in Sunni-Islam), libertarianism's coercion-free optimal resource allocation,
anarchism's absence of social hierarchy,
Robespierre's "liberté, égalité, fraternité", and many others.
"Woke" culture is clearly a contemporary evolution (rebranding) of the
socialist tradition emerging out of the French revolution, and made politically potent by Lenin, Stalin & comrades, channeled into the modern western world via Gramsci's cultural hegemony, and nowadays spread by powerful branding organisations like Avaaz [1] and Purpose [2].
