You're looking at this from the top down, expecting some sort of plot or plan or purpose, expecting someone or some group to be responsible or benefitting.

That's just not how any of this works.

Group selection is real, and culture is the OS of a group. However, this means that theorietically you could take over a group by overwriting their OS with your own, or something else, like let's say a religion. Look at the Middle East - once just as diverse in cultures as Europe, but now one sad monotenous grey islamist unit, for a good example.

Ideologies are viruses, made to exploit some vulnerability in the OS to compel action and ultimatly replace the OS altogether.

They evolve by conquering other competing viruses. Their only goal is virality. They simply want to spread.

The internet has turned the battleground global, and currently one particularly viral strain is spreading and infesting hosts at a record pace.

It's effective because it tapps into the empathy circutry, which itself functions by overriding behaviour.

Wokism is an exploit. It's a hack.

Look at this: https://www.mpg.de/research/supramarginal-gyrus-empathy

The right supramarginal gyrus corrects behaviour. If you hijack it, you can make it work in your favor. By framing issues in empathic terms, the host is led to predictable conclusions. Wokism is this effect, weaponized.

The effect seeks to feed itself, so you get an ever escalating storm of virtue signaling and applied empathy. You will have to find increasingly more groups to cuddle, and increasingly new ways to cuddle them.

This is what we're seeing. The individuals involved in the creation of culture are brainslugged. So they are producing propaganda. Because that's the empathetic thing to do. Becasue to hell with all else, we must immediatly act with empathy, this supercedes all other concerns. The propaganda seeks to convert those who can be converted - to proselytize.

Of course, not everyone is suceptible, because everyones brain is not the same, so as the ideology spreads to the limits of its potential, it'll start to create friction with the out groups, leading to ever increasing tensions, leading to division, leading to othering/demonization, which ultimatly leads to conflict, war, and attrocities.

This is the history of the world. Except until now the battlegrounds for the different viruses, using different exploits to hijack hosts, have been local.
