The Woke Identity Politics Psyop: Elites’ Strategies of Control and Their Societal Impact

In the face of escalating grassroots, populist class-based movements like Occupy Wall Street and elements of the Tea Party, the elite responded with fear and a strategic plan. Their aim? To dismantle the people’s capacity to unite based on shared economic struggles and class inequalities, levels of which had not been witnessed since the era of the robber barons.

The Emergence of Woke Identity Politics: An Instrument of Distraction

In their attempt to neutralize these movements, those in power promoted a narrative identity politics. This narrative accentuated divisions based on race, sex, gender identity, and other social parameters. The objective was clear: to divert public attention from the underlying economic problems and steer their focus towards identity-based conflicts among themselves.

This strategic move was evidenced by the sudden and dramatic spike in the number of articles and news broadcasts mentioning race, racism, sexism, and similar issues that emerged in 2012. This deluge of identity-focused content, in newspapers and on media outlets owned and controlled by the billionaire class, a clear indication of the elite’s strategic use of Woke identity politics. The media, significantly influenced by those in power, started to spotlight divisive issues based on identity.

Weaponizing the Woke Identity Politics Psyop

This psyop soon evolved and amplified its scope. Those who attempted to redirect the conversation back to class-based issues were swiftly labeled as enemies of the Woke identity politics narrative. This tactic triggered a culture of self-censorship and was further reinforced by corporate censorship and growing demands for government censorship. The range of issues extended beyond identity politics, infiltrating other areas such as Covid-19, the Ukraine war, and climate change.

Censorship, Control, and Division: The Consequences

The Woke identity politics psyop has resulted in heightened self-censorship. Individuals, fearing social and professional repercussions, have become increasingly wary of voicing their opinions.

In conclusion, the Woke identity politics psyop, evidenced by the sudden increase in identity-focused media content in 2012, has served as a potent tool for fostering censorship, control, and division. As we strive for a more equitable society, it’s essential to recognize these tactics, challenge them, and refocus our collective efforts on the shared struggle against economic inequality.
