    Philosophy Is "woke" actually fascism of a stripe?

    This is actually something I can agree with. But the thing is, as much as the people shape the system, system also shapes the people. Good part of the reason why people are so screwed up today is because they have spent their lives being taught that they are incompetent, hopeless, and that they...

    There are actually several advantages to monarchy, and disadvantages to democracy, especially representative democracy: 1) Psychology of the whole thing.

    Philosophy Is "woke" actually fascism of a stripe?

    Woke is not fascism. Woke is socialism, and fascism is socialism, and even beyond that they have a lot of overlap and common points... but Wokeism is actually an ideology that had been created in the USSR, by the USSR, to destroy the West. And was extremely effective in it.
