The rise of a ‘woke’ activist-driven, social justice-oriented politics—particularly among the members of academia, media, and the professional managerial class—has provided the latest ideological justification for interventionism, and it has become readily adopted by the U.S. foreign policy establishment. These groups now have an even greater level of symbiotic relationship with state actors.
Professional selection and advancement under these conditions require elite signaling of loyalty to ‘progressive’ universalism as the trending state-sanctioned ideology, which further fuels the push towards interventionism. This combination of factors encourages a new institutional and elite consensus around trending shibboleths.
Interesting in light of the fact that famous woke/leftist Congressman Jamie Raskin declared the US must support Ukraine militarily and otherwise, because Ukraine is "woke."
“The Coming Confluence Between Social Justice and Neoconservatism”
Compassiate Conservatism?> Yeah, we’ve been there before. At it’s core, it’s power over the little people.
They believe you’re too stupid to simply do what they want, so they have to force you to do it.
NeocCons are about systems control to their benefit.
They’ll just buy whatever they want, with your tax money of course, AND take a nice cut off the top. They realy don’t give a shiite about you except as a tax donkey.
Progs are about raw, unfettered, in-your-face power.
Punch you in the mouth, then smack your spouse and kids, because . . . phook you, that’s why.
They hate people, except as foci of THEIR rage.
“It is notable that the West proclaims the universal value of its culture and worldview. Even if they do not say so openly, which they actually often do, they behave as if this is so, that it is a fact of life, and the policy they pursue is designed to show that these values must be unconditionally accepted by all other members of the international community.”
That’s Vladimir Putin talking about the West. Well he is partially right, it seems as though it’s Western leaders who hold this position.
It’s really dangerous hubris on behalf of our “elites”.
