There's lots of Western suggestions, but I've been reading Ascendance of a Bookworm. There's an anime that gives you the gist of the first few books, but the books are really the way to enjoy it. It's also complete if you can read Japanese.
It's definitely not woke, but good is subjective. I enjoy it, but others might not. At the very least it's considered good enough to get an anime adaptation.
All of the adults who just stood there need to go look in a fucking mirror and rethink their lives.
"I upheld the law, I did the right thing."
NPCs don't think, let alone rethink. They simply do as they're programmed.
They actually managed to cuck the Muslims over the issue of LGBT even though there were parents protesting outside of the school where they were trying to teach about it generally.
Well, their ace is their violence. If they don't get violent over it, then globohomo is going to domesticate them like the rest of the sheep.
I spent ~3 minutes poking around and found something that says he has stargardt disease. He might still have some peripheral vision but if he's legally blind then he's definitely not staring at anyone or anything.
why would he have a "blindness registration card" with him there as well?
Probably to get annoying people like these two to leave him alone while he's staring off into nothingness, though apparently that doesn't even work if they're low enough on the bell curve.
I believe there is at least one character who's basically a special transfer, but that doesn't excuse the rest of them. Or is the rest of the world utterly devoid of the talent required to build more schools? I think them all flooding the UK says more about the rest of that wizard world than anything else.
I honestly felt myself slipping toward a sleepy state. Then he said “you are all now in my power” and… I wasn’t. I was 100 percent awake and in control.
That's about as far as I got into it too, which is why I never participated.
The reason I found it convincing wasn't my former classmates being told to act this way or that way. It was a part where he had some people hold various poses. One person was doing something similar to planking (before that was ever a thing) and they were not the kind of person you would think could hold that kind of pose as well as they did, and especially not for as long as they did. The Hypnotist would push on them and try to get them to move and they just wouldn't. It was honestly like seeing the sort of discipline you would see from a monk, but in someone you would really not expect to see that in at all.
If it was an elaborate ruse, it was prepared months in advance for sure, and kept very, very secret.
Obligatory Babylon Bee from 2019.
Just an anecdote, but my high school grad class' party had a hypnotist. As these were classmates I knew quite well (it wasn't a large class), I can say it seems somewhat legitimate. The people who were "successfully" hypnotized did some crazy things. Afterwards, one guy explained it as feeling like a very strong suggestion, but nothing that could fundamentally go against your will. Some people during the show that went up on stage at the start eventually came back down as the show asked them to do more and more crazy things (nothing degenerate, just impressive) and I guess some commands were a step too far that pressed what they would normally be comfortable doing.
That was just a stage performer however, so maybe some weaponized government method could push people further, probably by breaking their will to begin with, or working over a longer period of time, or stepping up the things you ask slowly enough that people can continue to justify it to themselves. I wasn't able to be hypnotized despite my attempts to be. Part of me couldn't give up any control, even though I knew the environment was safe, so there's some aspect that makes some people more susceptible than others.
Of course there's no limits, because it never stops. There will never be a point where the "progressive" movement will be completed, where they can say "Good job, we've done everything". There will always be a new boundary to push. It's a slippery slope all the way to things beyond imagining, or until society violently corrects itself.
