What is the origin of this WOKE mentality & cultivated victimhood?
None other than in the Garden where Lucifer perceived that his 'position & status' was being diminished & usurped by the 'arrival' of this 'physical & limited being', who was to become his 'master'!
He found a 'sympathetic ear' in Eve (hence the expression: 'sympathy for the devil') who listening to his 'heart sob' story, (Remember: the 'Father of all lies') was wooed & tempted into listening to Satan's word & NOT Her Father's Word, that is God!
To paraphrase, she 'ate the fruit' & fell! That was part one of Satan's strategy! Satan's real objective was Adam, to get him to fall away from God, get him out of the way, by having his sister tempt him, thus causing him to lose his relationship with God & his succession to the throne!
Satan therefore put himself into the 'rulership position' over God's fallen children, as they had 'chosen' to listen to his word, NOT God's! Hence God was effectively removed as Creator, Parent & Owner of His own Creation, through the actions of His children!
That strategy in essence is the same as we see the Marxists & the Woke using to remove what stands in their way to POWER!
Accuse their opposition of all sorts of crimes, guilt people out for crimes they didn't commit, re-write history & science, & basically 'victim or cry bully' everyone into submission like some spoilt child!
"Oh just give him what he 'wants' so he will shut up"!
This is what we are dealing with, a 'pestering, domineering spirit', wanting to get it's own way, as with Satan & then Eve in the Garden!
That explains what is happening today & all throughout history!
'Seduction, temptation, submission, then control & domination'!
Dan 11:32 "He shall 'seduce with flattery' those who 'violate the covenant*'; but the people who KNOW their God shall 'STAND FIRM & TAKE ACTION'!
Interesting viewpoint Simon. You seem to have a point until one considers that those who have power also have the ability to push and bully those who don't have it into acceptance eg. indigenous Americans when confronted with the power of the gun. You blithely use the word "woke" to denigrate those who have a social conscience as wishing to have "power". I suggest you might consider that they are attempting to minimise the degree to which vulnerable people (eg. the disabled)can have their vulnerability further compromised by the powerful.

Thanks James!

'Liberals' practice:
Intolerance for the Right
Tolerance for the Left
Well said
Cheers! It's just so explicit now; many in mainstream media are not even hiding their bias!!
I agree, however here's an interesting turn of events: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/28/media/jeff-bezos-defends-washington-post-endorsement/index.html
Perhaps Bezos is seeing the 'writing on the wall'!
