Many scholarly and carefully researched articles have attempted to identify the genesis of wokeness.
That's as far as I read because anyone who doesn't know that Wokeness is the result of not very intelligent people having had it too easy & too good for too long at the expense & from the effort of others, isn't going to become more interesting when reading on !

There's no substitute for capitalism as cooperative capitalism as opposed to greed is good, rat eat rat, extreme capitalism/individualism!

The latter saw long standing co-ops disassembled and small country towns sent into mass bankruptcy as the first visible result of the extreme right wing (greed is good) bastardry.

Society functions far better when we all pull together and for the common good as we do inside a working co-op.

Co-ops were the only private enterprise, business model to survive the great depression largely intact. And because they are the most efficient and operate inside a fair system that rewards effort, not the lazy money bags promoting their greed is good philosophy.

And trying to concentrate more and more of our finite resources into fewer and fewer hands! All while complaining about how much of "their money" goes to taxes and supporting the less well off.

Let them keep all their money and let the less well off starve! Who will do all the work then, pick the harvests mine the rocks, etc., that produces all our wealth? Clive, Gina and co.?

hi Allan B

Co-operatives have and will follow the usual descent into fascism.

My assessment of greed isn't necessarily absolute. Regulating the natural human instincts rather than banning them altogether is more appropriate. It worked very well for generations and indeed for longish periods in christian based societies.

It is better to say, while absolute greed and enforced generosity are bad, regulated greed and generosity produce fairer distributions of wealth and create optimum opportunity for economic growth, intellectual development and innovation.

As has occurred repeatedly in the developing wester traditions.

Greed isn't totally bad. Absolute greed is destructive.

Most of the adults in the world are sick and tired of virtue signalling snowflakes whose ignorance is only matched with their fervour in trying to stop people who are actually being productive.

The worst of these trolls are the zealots that protest against climate change and simultaneously against nuclear power while wondering why nothing happens.

How could we get the Woke to wake up ?

I've long suspected that weird causes look for vulnerable children to suck into their wake- it gives them a feeling of belonging- and they can be used as canon fodder against the machine. The Machine needs to be aware of this and redirect the vulnerable to more productive and meaningful pursuits. Thanks for the article Lillian. Kudos.
