its hilarious that conceptual james and rufo have decided to seize upon Hegel of all people as THE evil ur-totalitarian woke precursor when his actual politics was more similar to their own grating centrism

Hegel was horrified by 'excesses' on both the left (The Terror, although he supported the revolution) and the right (he opens the philosophy of right with a salvo against the 'irrationalist', 'romantic', 'volkish' right). He advocated a liberal constitutional monarchy
Hegel chastises the 'my truth, my lived experience' stuff that woketards love to say as contrary to reason. The idea that you can draw a direct line from trigglypuff to Hegel is about as confused as it gets 
oh my god the thread is even crazier
Also if any billionaires are lurking about and want someone to historicize 'wokeism' I'll do it for cheap and do a better job than these guys (I couldn't do worse!)
