Woke (and many other ideologies) In a nutshell.

“Half the harm that is done in this world
Is due to people who want to feel important.
They don’t mean to do harm — but the harm does not interest them.
Or they do not see it, or they justify it
Because they are absorbed in the endless struggle
To think well of themselves.”

T.S. Elliot, The Cocktail Party (1948)
