1/ It seems like the core assumption of wokeness is that people don't have their own opinions. Wokeness means waking up to the realization there are no individuals, only groups and systems. Having one's own opinion, rather than group opinion, is an impossibility
The right comparison is to the idea of being red-pilled. Woke is maybe green-pilled? Both are based on the conceit that the mainstream is laboring under some sort of deep illusion and that the elect chosen ones have broken free into the truth.

Sort of but that sounds like it's still just ideology. The way I'm using it, wokeness is ideology neutral. Wokeness is the state of believing rightness comes from consensus. Ideology came from ideologues. I think in full wokeness the hierarchy is flat.

Interesting concept and definition but I think you need a new word fir that. Wokeness as it exists and as the term is used now seems much more banal than magic consensus model
