Some thirty years ago I watched how flabbergasted parents of a Columbia University freshman, a.k.a., “first year,” reacted with incredulity to their daughter’s shrill peroration about the necessity to remove crosses from all public spaces so as “not to offend anyone.” Her folks showed up in New York to fetch her home for Thanksgiving. They yearned for familial continuity. Instead, a chain of love snapped, perhaps irreparably, because within three short months, their daughter became indoctrinated in the dogma of what we now refer to as wokeness.
The young (former) lady became a janissary, one of the active participants in the revolution of the One Percent. There are several levels in the woke revolutionary hierarchy. For the sake of clarity we can describe their representatives separately but, in reality, they tend to overlap.
The gazzillionaire One Percenters stand at the top, of course. The oligarchs are followed by the courtiers. The latter consist of several categories. Some of the courtiers are loyal, and well-remunerated, personal attendants, perhaps sometimes even junior partners, maybe even friends, who identify completely with the One Percenters. The personal attendants tend to be both comforters and problems solvers. Others can be ubiquitous “experts,” often guns for hire. They will work for the highest bidder. Both sub-sets include lawyers, investors, foundation heads, and other enablers at the highest end.
A bit lower at the courtier rung, there are classical minions. They are the hangers on, attracted by power and wealth. Always eager to please their One Percent masters, they live off of the crumbs of the tables of the oligarchs and bask in the light of their reflected glory.

Well said!
Too fat, Too dumb and too sedated... The more we send them to school, the worse they get.. Brainwashed.!
Bears repeating...
Wow. Chodakiewicz nails it.
