Huh. The actual article is actually a lot better than I expected, given that headline. ...And the atrocious sub-header.

Wokeism may well be the rope that the anti-capitalists will use to hang themselves. Wokeism does not poll very well with the public.

I can't disgree with either point, and I'm mildly shocked to see bloomberg admitting that the majority of people hate this shit - I would have expected them to keep up the establishment narrative that only 'nazis' are against it.

That said...

Wokeism is an idea that can be adapted to virtually every country: Identify a major form of oppression in a given region or nation, argue that people should be more sensitive to it, add some rhetorical flourishes, purge some wrongdoers (and a few innocents) and voila — you have created another woke movement.

Can be. But isn't.

It avoids making any significant acknowledgement of any form of opression that that doesn't fit the American left's agenda. It has to be whisper quiet about the Armenian genocide, or the oppression of Egypt's copts because that would remind people what muslim majorities do to christian minorities. And it has to dismissively deny the on-going oppression and murder of whites in South Africa because acknowledging that a black, African state is deliberately acting to slowly crush its white population would raise serious questions in the US if it were to become part of public discourse.

The article ends with this conclusion, which I find depressingly accurate, and is something I've been saying for years:

In some ways wokeism is what a feminized, globalized version of 21st century U.S. triumphalism looks like.

You don’t have to like that. But you may have to get used to it.

Wokeism is absolutely good old American imperialism in a new form. A form I find much worse because unlike the old form of American domination, this form slowly destroys America and its allies rather than tearing up 3rd world shitholes.

Bloomberg opinion pieced is lit lol. First complains about sexism in video games. Now says woke is a precious commodity to be exported.
