I see this quite often in my line of work, this condescension towards
the uneducated, that people only vote a particular way because of
ignorance of fear.  Worse, is that this mentality is now promoted and
coddled, workplaces now champion themselves as promoters of a "social
good", which gives those who work there an even bigger head.

This is the truth! Most extreme tech-socialists I've met live in houses,
have at least 2 cars, and are generally very well off. Often they do
have big public sector customers who help them fund their life styles.

Needless to say, we've ended up in the agree to disagree box quite
often, but from time to time we actually do agree on something.

Thats probably what irks me most of all, that we pay for this.  It's
not the people who are grinding the most pushing these ideas.  I could
excuse Linux Torvalds wanting to weigh in on the Code of Conduct for the
Linux Kernel, but its people who don't contribute much.  Like Coraline
Ada Ehmke, who create the Contributor Covenant, throwing their weight
around, but not creating anything except a bloated github profile of
lots of tiny Ruby spots of code.  The Ladybird browser noted the same
thing, their objection to the Woke activism was the person wanting to
change gendered language had made no other real contribution.  Think of
those who go around moralising as DEI consultants or activist, what have
they actually produced of real value?

These "woke" or "marxist" ideas are luxury beliefs, and they are our
priestly class.  These beliefs are held by those who work cushy jobs,
usually, or have nothing to lose anyway.  Their JOB could just be to
pontificate or moralise, like a DEI consultant or something, but again,
this is just done on the backs of those who actually work.

Oh yes... I could keep you throwing up all evening with stories from the mgmt meetings at a startup where I was consulting. The amount of pure excrement woke bullshit I had to wade through, parry, oppose, threaten and argue, to stop was enormous.
In the end, since it was a remote gig, it was not possible to fight, since most of the other were on site and it's difficult to play politics when you're the only one remote and the rest are on site.
But to my great satisfaction, once they decided to push through an "agile" initiative, the top 20 percent of the company left and then they terminated the most woke people since they couldn't carry their cost any longer once the revenues dropped due to the woke b.s.! =D
