- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 6 days ago:
The best new use of woke is the woke right.
The author James Lindsay has defined it in similar terms, as “a victimhood-based identity politics” whose “victim groups are whites, Christians, men, and straight people”. He argues that the movement is “roughly intersectional” insofar as it is obsessed with identity politics and a grievance relating to anti-white racism. “Like their counterparts on the Woke Left,” Lindsay writes, “the Woke Right have accepted as fact that there’s a conspiracy against people like them and that their only real hope is to lean into the identity grouping and advocate for collective power under that heading”. In these terms, the “woke right” is a kind of ideological doppelgänger, whose members exhibit the same precisionist and absolutist tendencies of their leftist counterparts.
Pierce Morgan uses it more and more often against right wingers to great effect.

Woke is now a synonym for Social Justice warrior.
A person or movement prioritizing moralizing outrage about minor grievances over actual effective societal change.
As my half Nigerian cousin likes to say on issues like white people wearing dreadlocks: “That’s something only white privileged women care about.”

We felt poorer, so economists should be lynched!
The contrast between people’s experiences in their everyday lives and what politicians or experts say is important.
If the economy is supposedly doing great but I can afford less and less and my life gets worse, that’s a contradiction.
The USA is moving more to something like the gilded age with more wealth disparity, more suffering for the poor, more violence.
The anti-intellectualism and anti-elitism of the cultural revolution was far more extreme. You are right that there are some similar ideas brewing.
When the political and economic system is no longer delivering for the population, it will turn against the (perceived) leaders. Trump and the right spins this very well by directing the anger against „woke“ liberal academics, foreigners, and away from the billionaires.
The „woke“ elites are also in crisis. The Democratic Party is in shambles.

often people know that, for example, elections are fraudulent, but they are too scared to say anything
People might vaguely understand that elections don’t produce good outcomes or have systemic bias. That’s then condensed to „elections are rigged“, regardless of the facts and details.
Most people know little about most things. It’s difficult to even have good fundamentals about most things in our complex world. So people will defer to their personal experience and information seeped into their minds by osmosis/exposure.
Things like an economy or political system are extremely complex already and not fully understood even by experts.

The World‘s Fastest Indian - old guy builds a racing motorcycle in his shed and then takes it to a race.
The Ordinaries - A fantasy world where society is divided into lead (elite) and background (working class) characters, as well as outtakes (underclass). Very meta story about stories and class in society. Can be streamed for free, might need VPN to Germany.

Understandable. You seem to have reflected on this pretty well.
Emotions can carry us away sometimes, especially when it’s about something we care about deeply.

Laminates are pretty common in many applications. Lots of things built from wood use several layers glued together. Or think of a lasagna.

- Comment on Anon describes the micro-celeb pipeline 3 months ago:
I have done sex work occasionally and it actually is work. A surprising amount of time is spent on advertising, communication with flaky clients, making sure you actually get paid your promised share, etc. The industry is also full of exploitation, abuse, mental illness, addiction, and everything that comes with it.
Finding a well paying niche requires actual effort. Competition is fierce.

Having an established group of followers helps as well.

- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 3 months ago:
The public has other things to do than read about politics all the time. Most people only care about it, once it affects them. Even today those news junkies and activists who follow politics closely aren’t necessarily knowledgeable or well informed.
