The term "woke" has been co-opted by corporates into signalling virtue, in the same way that corporates gas-lit people into thinking Occupy had no real purpose. What I have found is that most grassroots movements get co-opted or twisted by corporate forces.

Almost never today do corporates just yield to public pressure. I think the inflation today reflects this. Inflating the money supply has typically been seen as a 'last resort' because it is an form of taxation-by-stealth that if not delivered equitably distorts the economy, or worse, prevents corrections in the economy. It's simply a dangerous thing to do, yet it serves corporates and those close to the money, who are able to remain artificially relevant and powerful.

I'm not going to say this inflation is solely a reflection of public pressure, it's a combination of supply chain issues, and a reflection of some currencies having less, er... currency.

As a people, I think we should address those collectively, but it becomes difficult when the tools we have, including many technologies we employ, have fundamental flaws. That includes the media, that has refined distraction and irrational fear.

Its why I think that without genuine vision or purpose, I see things getting worse before they get better.
