Woke 2 is distinctively an ideology of Trump II, when we no longer need to go looking for some hidden enemy, no longer need to work to uncover the infiltrators and the enemies hiding their power level
the enemy is out in the light and screaming about how much they hate us, there is no mystery there

Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good.. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? .. he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has power over the clever not more clever than the clever?

The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.
Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich

It may feel like media speaks as one voice, but in fact the number of journalists, editors, writers, presenters at prestige/agenda setting outlets has shrunk unimaginably. It may feel like political actors all agree, but the parties are hollow shells made only of funders, consultants and sycophants.
