This is amazing, I'm noting this down for future use.

As someone said elsewhere in this thread, it makes you wonder what's really going on while we are distracted by this stuff.

What I find interesting is that there (probably? maybe?) isn't a shadowy CIA-like organisation promoting this stuff, this "tactic" is a naturally emergent property of the woke belief system.

I think I find this more frightening than if there actually were a shadowy organisation pulling the strings: here we have a philosophy, which many well-intended people subscribe to, that causes them to behave like a sophisticated intelligence agency deliberately trying to disrupt a foreign power.

In fact, a lot of that woke stuff actually comes from the CIA.

It's a tactic they first used in the 70s in Europe, when "real" left parties (i.e. the old-school socialist/communist parties, affiliated with the soviet union) started gaining ground. All of a sudden they started funding a lot of stuff like that, because it weakened/marginalized those parties. Why fight for workers rights when you can fight for LGBT, immigrant, women rights, etc. I.e. the right of fifteen distinct groups that have no power.

Much more recently that tactic was used to destroy the Occupy Wall Street movement.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

I wonder what is different now. The woke movement doesn’t seem to get any weaker, even as it adopts more and more identity groups.
