 What isn't 'woke' these days? The language is over the top but does the
end result really differ from civilized behavior in the workplace?

 The problem seems to be that some a**holes NEED to be smacked with
regulations before they will live up to basic civility. And then they
complain about "woke tyranny".
 

 That might be true. It is also true that some people are severely and unjustly punished for being conservative christians, pro-Trump, or just plain conservative. That's a woke abomination in open source and is exactly what leads to the culture wars and cancellations we have.

'woke' is Marxism rebranded. It uses all the old Marxist AgitProp techniques which some of us are very familiar with.

You are preaching to the choir. It has always been about defining an in group and an outgroup to stir up hatred, to mobilize the masses, for the benefit of the people at the top (so much for no ownership... who owns the power?). When the working classes got too rich, the logic is simple... find new classes. Immigrants, colors, the environment, gender etc. And just apply the same game plan, stir up hatred, and benefit at the top, by mobilization of unthinking, emotional masses.

It's not about manners, it's about political power, and the destruction of societal norms and cultural history. Its about the creation of dissent and hatred.

This is the (obvious) truth!

It is probably funded indirectly by the FSB. As an asymmetric war technique to promote the destruction of freedom and democracy - Russia's greatest threat.

Somehow I think they lost control over the movement. It is fun to see the wringing of hands of a lot of communists and socialists from the 60s who were "all in" russia, and to see them explain what's happening there now.
It is also fun to see how the previous leader of the swedish communist party (vänsterpartiet) praised Venezuela as a new paradise on earth, and how the mainstream media now is carefully forgetting that, as well as how the previous leader selectively forgot, or perhaps it was that they didn't do it right that time. ;)

A knew a communist very  well at University. He explained how communists were going to infiltrate every single organisation over his lifetime. It's called the  by a communist (Rudi Dutschke) who is now a member of the EU, 'The long march through the institutions'. The aim was/is to destroy existing society and replace it with a new communist one as the first step towards a socialist Utopia.

I have watched it happen,.

Ah! You have watched swedish universities and public media? The game plan has been fairly successfully played out. What they did not count on was social media and alternative media. They also never counted on the sweden democrats, which means that their control i slipping.

Finally people have woken up.

Well, I'd say there's an awakening. I do not know if I would go so far as to say woken up.

And elected a complete arsehole whose one saving grace is that he is not 'woke'

Tsss... he's the immortal leader of the white race! And you dare call him that??
