Its not much people like us don't already know. Woke stories are thinly veiled propaganda.
It relies on the existence of normal storytelling tropes in order to deconstruct them to feed the new woke stereotypes. Like communism, wokeism needs an ever present enemy to fight in order to validate its existence. With feminism its the patriarchy, with anti-racism, its white supremacy, etc. Woke storytelling is the same way with normal story tropes. Even when wokeism has taken over everything, they still must maintain the image of being the other or being outcasts at all costs. The video also explains why woke people can't just write new stories, but rather, must cannibalize, and parasitize existing popular properties.
tl;dw: The left can't meme.
No that's not the lesson. They don't infiltrate and subvert established properties because they are too stupid to come up with their own stories. The infiltration and subversion is the point.
They don't care about representation. That's a red herring. The goal was always subversion. Creating their own popular stories defeats the very purpose of their existence.
