Just as an interesting aside to this discussion, notice that what this means is that being Woke and adopting its victimhood orientation is ultimately a psychological defense mechanism as an extension of a functional psychopathology. Woke is essentially looking at one's own lack of success in the world and guarding the ego from believing something like "I must suck at what I'm doing" by concluding, like Principal Skinner, "No, I'm not the one who sucks; society is a giant conspiracy that keeps people like me down." In the functionally psychopathological, this is not an innate state of thinking or the result of being fundamentally broken. It is a learned maladaptive behavior for externalizing control, thus blame, for lack of greater success, and it's toxic as hell, quite literally functionally psychopathological. This would explain why Woke thinking tends to trend and rise when there is a perception of downward mobility in a rising generation (whether that perception is justified or not is another question, but only the perception is necessary). In downwardly mobile circumstances, whether fairly or not, one conclusion a person might draw for their lack of success is roughly "I suck," which can be channeled by Woke ideologies into a maladaptive externalization of control, thus blame, that believes society is organized in an invisible conspiracy against "people like you," usually blaming some scapegoatable group, like whites, rich people, Jews, or successful immigrant communities. Woke as a toxic psychosocial defense mechanism against responsibility (especially when circumstances really are kind of unjust or unfair) kinda makes sense, doesn't it?
