Before the left racialized it for political purposes culture actually used to be the politically correct explanation, because it's something that can theoretically be fixed. That justified dumping money into a bottomless pit as leftists are fond of doing. It also meant the discussion about IQ can be avoided, which suited everyone on the political spectrum due to some inconvenient truths about the different IQ distributions of racial groups such a discussion would bring to light. This is actually an example of political correctness causing direct harm. An honest discussion about IQ and its link to various measures of success (including economic) might lead to practical solutions like cutting off the infinite supply of low skilled labor to give people on the left side of the bell curve a chance to make a decent living. But that cuts into corporate profits, so the wokists aren't alone in pushing open borders. Big business's push for unlimited immigration isn't just due to woke infiltration. Their desire for an infinite supply of disposable labor they can pay peanuts is also a factor.
Corporate astroturfing and political funding is probably partly to thank for today's wokeism. They controlled both the left and right side of the conversation in the US for decades. They had the Reps on board first, until idpol and globalism finally brought the Dems in line.
Yup. Idpol ruining Occupy Wall Street was completely premediated on the part of the elites, and it's my go to example for how wokeism is a tool used by the elites to fuck us all over.
This is why they were so determined to destroy Trump. He wasn't really a Republican. He just did what he wanted regardless of what the elites wanted and it just happened to line up with what the Republican base wanted. Cutting into their bottom lines by enforcing immigration laws and disrupting their treason for pay deal with China is what they found unforgivable. Pretending to give a shit about anything else was just PR.
