The thing about right-wing opposition to "woke capital" etc. is that it's of a kind with the alienation, dislocation and powerlessness that everyone feels in the face of hegemonic mass culture, but with the cause misidentified as sinister "enemies" rather than the whole process.

The objection isn't against the deployment of state and corporate power to enforce a stultifying monoculture, (which is, after all, exactly what they want), but simply that this process has been "corrupted" to enforce liberal values rather than theirs. They can't do this to *me*.

So instead the right or the left should ignore the various methods the state or corporations employ to stultify monoculture and instead object to monoculture entirely?

They should recognize it as the outgrowth of a total social process, one they're engaged and implicated in, rather than the problem stemming from the subversive machinations of their enemies.
