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

"The distorting and confounding of all human and natural qualities, the fraternization of impossibilities – the divine power of money – lies in its character as men’s estranged, alienating and self-disposing species-nature. Money is the alienated ability of mankind."

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.
