From woke to awake

[UltraBudgie]

After the thread on the WEF I'm halfway to believing this is all part of a plan to influence cultures in such a way as to destroy nationalism. The number one threat to globalism is pride. Pride in who you are.

It's all the cabals that sponsor this nonsense isn't it?  These organizations are incubators for ambitions that extend election cycles.  Greed also gets its fair share.

I think this is totally correct. But it is also a dangerously externalized way of looking at things. Companies like Disney are seen as pushing agendas, but when you look behind the curtain there is very little of the cynical cabal-like deception, concocting mind games and cackling "haha we'll make them our puppets!" It's different people, with different worldviews, some ideological and principled, some not so much, all operating from their own points-of-view. Yes, there's some weird worldviews, that incubate and metastasize, in part because the align with the interests of the powerful. But also because they express and focus the public's attention -- people love to embrace and/or contrast. Hate the wrong-woke, yearn for the right-woke. Different visions of a better world.

That's where laying it at the feet of "cabals" is dangerous. It makes the public seem like totally malleable programmable robots. In fact, the agendas these "cabals" express are always in alignment with what is possible from the discord within the general public. They are servants, in a way, of our pride, greed, envy, wrath -- it gives them material to work with. The woke social agenda is fueled in part by fear, of the potentially-unfounded nature of our certainties, of our limited understanding of others, of our desire to see everyone we don't understand as "good-aliens" or "bad-aliens", and different ideas of how to move past that.

This tendency has been amplified, yes, not only to serve the control matrix, but because it is a central issue of human cultural and global evolution, as technology and a shrinking world change and accelerate the ways we communicate and interact. The secret of these "cabals" is that they're actually right out in the open, the curtains we think they hide behind, when we think of them as some kind of "external elite", are really ones that we've put up ourselves.
