If you haven’t already, you’ll be seeing people who are indignant about the dismantling of the DEI agenda, virtue-signaling in protest that DEI is a ‘good’ thing and wokeness is empathy.
Retired Army Colonel and lawyer @CynicalPublius on X will have none of that.
Someone said to him:
“Do you know that wokeness is essentially empathy? Just wanted to clarify what it is you’re so proud to loathe.”
And he brilliantly responded:
“Did you know that wokeness has literally nothing to do with empathy, is the very most un-empathetic ideology imaginable, and exists solely to drive wedges between demographic groups as a way of achieving and maintaining power, in the manner that Marx endorsed over 100 years ago?
Further, that Marxist ideology you laughingly describe as “empathetic” inevitably degenerates into mass poverty, pestilence, deprivation and genocide.
What is “empathetic” about mass poverty, pestilence, deprivation and genocide?”
Remember that the next time someone says DEI/Wokeness are good things.

It is an evil, Marxist mechanism designed to divide and control.
The simple explanation:
The elite defines immutable “woke” characteristics of people by which they are classified as victims or oppressors.
Because people cannot change their immutable characteristics, they are…

“It is an evil, Marxist mechanism designed to divide and control.
The simple explanation:
The elite defines immutable “woke” characteristics of people by which they are classified as victims or oppressors.
Because people cannot change their immutable characteristics, they are forever trapped in the scheme.
The only way to escape “wokeism” is to completely abandon it as a rational system altogether.
It must be rooted out and forever vanquished.”
Empathy is vastly overrated–and so misused that it has become all but meaningless. If it has a meaning now, it is just “let bad people do bad things so that we don’t make them feel bad about doing bad things. Then we are good.”

Woke masquerades as empathy, but as Elon says, it’s just shallow empathy. They don’t care about the victims of criminals, they only care about the criminals. Suicidal empathy doesn’t make anything better, it just destroys society, kịlls people, brainwashes them, etc.

Wokeness is only the veneer of empathy
The person who fits a woke category is only fodder for the woke person to feel good about themselves.
It is essentially selfishness disguised as empathy because the other person only has value to the extent they bring virtue to the woke

“At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.” – Elon Musk
