nah, imo, there are very little chances that the minds behind this campaign are not hardened cynics. they don't gaf. they see a trend and try to ride it.

I'm inclined to disagree with you there. Normally, yes, companies do this kind of thing cynically. However, I've come to believe that wokesters are really fifth-columnists, using whatever platform they get within a company or organisation to promote their ideology rather than...

.. serving the goals/interests of the company/org. It's the only explanation I have for repeated disasters at, say, Disney's Star Wars division or Marvel comics. Companies are slow to adapt, sure, but at a certain point ineptitude is not an adequate explanation.

our views are fundamentally the same. 'wokeness" is the currency, and therefore also the objective. it's probably what got them their jobs in the first place. none of them have a real political agenda. [contd]

they have an economic agenda which expresses itself through political means. I'm convinced that deep down none of these people actually believe their own fantasies. it's always just virtue signalling for personal gain. it's commercially ideological.

I disagree with that. I think the majority of adherents of this ideology are true believers, although I will grant that the farther up you go in the hierarchy, the more likely you'll find cynics and sociopaths exploiting the belief system for personal gain.

The fact that wokeness is an alternative value system by which one can be judged is IMO an unintended (but useful) consequence of the ideology. It's absolutely vital to the woke social climbers out there, but IMO not the goal or purpose of the belief system.

It's only an exploitable unintended consequence for useful idiots. for organisers it's a control mechanism. not to achieve ideological goals, but to achieve power and/or commercial success. [contd]

the clue is in the fact that nothing but "more social justice" comes out these things. nothing socially tangible or *real* ever happens. it's self perpetuating. to the point they have to push the boundaries of logic to find things to "social justice" about.

The rules and doctrines of any ideology function that way for the acolytes and enforcers of that ideology. This isn't unique to intersectionality. EG I can guarantee that back in the day catholic clergymen would compete to outdo one-another in piety and orthodoxy.

I'm pretty sure there are extensive theological arguments in the historical record on the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.
