Yes, they have. Wokies are cannibals, really: they "eat" those who try to get near the moderate middle or what's called the "classical left". They damn them as traitors to their cause.
They aren't called 'the thought police' for nothing. The only 'light' is that wokies themselves are frequently victims of their own repulsive, anti-intellectual system. Just look at all the faux-apologising and grovelling that goes on
Absolutely. When they have eliminated the effective oppostion from outside, they still find they need an enemy -- mostly because they actually have nothing positive to offer, and need something to negate or fight in order to remain relevant. So they eat their own.
The very woke director Jane Campion is the latest example.
In the US, it's the new Supreme Court nominee, who has sold out all women in order to cater to the "trans" lobby. We can be quite sure that a person who is afraid even to say what a "woman" is, cannot possbily be an advocate for women's rights. But the Wokies are effectively done with the Feminists, who are now too ordinary and mainline to merit much further advocacy, as they see it. They'll reserve their support of women to only those things that involve white men; beyond that, women are all mere pawns for their gains in other areas now.
Always looking for 'offence' where none is intended is idiotic, tedious, and energy-draining.
It is. But it's what they have to do. When the "offenses" stop, then they are useless...and they know it. So the "offenses" must be made perpetual. That's where things like "microaggressions," or "internalized oppression," or "systemic racism" are so useful to them: these things can never be found and destroyed, so they offer a perpetual object for hatred, and ongoing relevancy for The Woking Dead.
They loathe their own inner thoughts and innate racism,
Y'know, I don't think they do.
I think they actually enjoy the self-flaggelation, so long as its public, and so long as it seems to convince onlookers that they are suitably contrite and reformed now. It's a sort of over-the-top kind of dramatic, public penance that draws all attention to them.
Wokies claim to be 'colour blind'
Actually, if you read what they write, they don't!
I know that seems strange, but they hate and fear the possibility that we're ever going to stop caring about "race," which is their primary reason to exist. They still tip the hat to people like MLK, but only briefly: because they hate his idea that people would ever be "judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin," as MLK said. They want skin to be all-important, definitive in regard to identity and entitlement; and they don't want integration or homogenization of populations, because again, that ends their usefulness. They actually want new Aparteid, new Segregation -- but this time, with their own "oppressed" elevated and privileged indefinitely.
Making people "colour-blind" would kill their privileges. So they make (warning: more twisted language coming) a difference between what they call "non-racism" (bad) and "anti-racism" (good). "Non-racism" is bad, they say, because it denies unique identity to subgroups, and gives everybody equal standing. But "anti-racism," meaning the endless hunting out and hating of "racist" enemies and the perpetuation of colour distinctions forever, is good, no just because it allows ongoing special pleading for the "oppressed" and rationalizes "historical guilt" (another of their concepts), but because it gives them another of those permanent enemies they crave.
Personally, I'm not "colour blind." I know my nephews have a "tan." But I seriously do not care....about their "tan" or anybody else's. So you might say I'm "colour-indifferent," which would surely enrage the Wokies more than anything, since they desperately need people to keep caring.
That's one of the funny things about Woke ideology: what are half-white folks to think? Are they "oppressors" or "oppressed"? And if they are "oppressed," are they "oppressing
themselves"?
It would be totally silly if it were not so damaging at the same time.
yet they are completely obsessed with 'ethnicity'.
That is why.
They are also extremely patronising.
Indeed so.
What could be more patronising than haveing 'quota systems' for TV shows and movies, especially when there are plenty of excellent actors around of every ethnicity?
You're right.
But it doesn't help their cause, so they don't care. Self-contradiction is nothing they ever seem to care about.
And yes, victimhood has become a massive industry that actual victims have been swallowed up and excreted from.
Graphic, but accurate.
(Although that was no doubt staged. Nothing is 'real' in that articial, false front, Hollywood set of a country).
