It deals with the problems of racism and social injustice.
Foxy,
It doesn't deal with the problems, it exacerbates them via that insidious agenda of "getting back at the West" be it right or wrong but mainly wrong !

Yuyutsu,

'Woke' is the misuse of a normal word by the American Left to give the impression that they are more 'awake' to certain societal issues that the rest of us are.

You know that the manipulation of language, the change of meanings of words, is one of the Marxists' chief weapons. The manipulation of language is made easy for them, given their barely literate audiences who can't think for themselves.

Have you ever lived in the United States?
Foxy,
by that do you mean the country that puts up statues for criminals & criminally incompetent politicians & where the criminals accuse those who want to better the situation as criminal ?
The answer is no, why would I ?

'Wokeness' has been described as a virus, escaping from a "post modern laboratory", and mutating into forms against which there is no vaccination; "it took hold on our university campuses and is now spreading out of control in the community".

As with the Covid virus, no child is now too young to be infected by 'wokeness'.

"Underlying wokeness is a dangerous, utopian ideology that has its roots in Marxism and is hellbent on destroying the institutions of liberal democracy, Christianity and the family". (Nick Cater).

For some people, being 'woke' is a status symbol - membership of a group of 'educated' people who see the world in clearer terms than others do. It also replaces religion for some, leaving the non-woke as sinners. In reality it is a pernicious ideology that must be opposed.

Yuyutsu,

I'll repeat what I wrote on another discussion:

"Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become character."

Wise words from Margaret Thatcher.

She also added:

"There is little hope for democracy if the hearts
of men and women in democratic societies cannot be
touched by a call to something greater than
themselves."

And finally -

"The whole problem with the world is that
fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves -
and wise people so full of doubts."
(Bertrand Russell).
