Part 7/10:
For years, woke ideology promoted the notion that corporations and organizations were founded on principles of social justice and inclusion. However, its practical effects have often been counterproductive—leading to alienation of the very demographics they aimed to appease. The trend of removing cultural symbols, censoring historical references, and raising prices under the guise of virtue signaling has fostered cynicism rather than connection.
This era also witnessed a corroding of societal bonds, with tribalism and identity politics fostering division rather than unity. Many now see this as a systemic problem rooted in anti-truthism and divisive propaganda—core elements of the woke ethos.
