Wokeism is nothing more another sorry attempt by subaverage but rhetorically exploitative minds to address the universal human condition, which is the experience of alienation from a centralizing human essence or special nature, which no other creature observably shares.
There many other such attempts. Only one (premodern Christianity) is and ever can be successful, because only it can address the root causes. Wokeism addresses neither cause nor effect of this condition: its strategy is to postulates that no such condition, or alienation, exists.
It does so by asserting that a human essence can be accessed through each person’s unique individuality. The trouble is that it sets no standard or structure for what an individual should be. This is why all adherents of this ideology eventual melt into obese, amorphous blobs.
This appeals to modern people because of their addiction to comfort and ease. Coupled with emergent technologies, wokeism becomes able to say: ‘you can be anything you imagine, simply by imagining it!’ For a pornified, netflixified populace, this sounds, literally, like Heaven.
The effect of couplings and these claims is to undo natural boundaries: first social (ex. marriage, sex roles), then biological (trannyism), and finally physical (uploaded consciousness, metaverse). Wokeism’s claim: you cannot be alienated from the creator if the creator is YOU
The truth is that seemingly insurmountable boundaries can be transcended, in real life, but only at the cost of great self-sacrifice. A spiritual truth that basically all religious traditions have arrived at: to find your true self you must destroy your current self.
Wokeism tells people that they can become their “true selves” at no cost, for free, gratis, by a new, perverted, technological grace. The tragedy is that the costs are all still the same, the essential laws of the universe will never not apply.
Coda: as from these abstract condemnations, wokeism must be eradicated because it is predicated and relies upon a Ponzi scheme of lies, especially about the human body, differences between the sexes, and differences between racial groups
