Marxism is indeed the right word. It corrupted a lot of good causes from environmental to feminism. This "eternal struggle" paints a bleak picture of the world and the solution is always more power for the few.
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.
The main reason why this 'Woke Culture' could emerge is because God's people sat on their hands & didn't fight back against the 'lie' that was allowed to take root & spread throughout the West, as Satan worked to destroy God's Judeo-Christian foundation in the world! Dan 11:32
Just as Satan achieved in the Garden! Everything goes back to the Garden, being the 'First Days', now repeating to the 'power of ten' in the Last Days!!
Christianity herself became 'compromised & corrupted', 'allowing 'false gods' to be brought into the temple in the 'name of tolerance'!
NO! That would be 'stupidity' & NOT Knowing God! Mt 7:21-23, Rev 3:1-3, 15-17
We have an 'existential crisis of faith'!
We don't KNOW what we should be DOING to DO God's Will, because we haven't been DOING anything! Dan 11:32, Rev 20:12, Rev 21:8
Democracy itself is NOT God's Purpose of Creation! His Kingdom is!
Hence Mt 6:33, Mt 6:9-10, Mt 28:18-20 => Is 9:6-7, Dan 7:27
The 'blood of Christ' is NOT enough if we don't TAKE ACTION! James 2:14-26, Rom 2:13, Lk 8:21
There is NO 'separation' between God's Will & politics! Christianity & State!
God is Seeking His Kingdom to govern, & those who KNOW God are meant to govern that Kingdom!
Dan 7:27 "And the kingdom and the dominion
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven
shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High;
their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey them.’
That is the Great Commission:
Mt 28: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make 'disciples' of 'all nations', baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to OBEY all that I have commanded you"! Heb 5:8-9
We DIDN'T DO it! We disobeyed Jesus! Heb 10:26-31
"We are either for Jesus or against him"! There is no half way measure!
Rev 3:15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked".
That is the people today who are relentlessly 'seeking mammon', whilst God's House lays in ruins! Hag 1:1-11, Mt 6:24-33
This is the reality we have to face, as the 'hawks' are 'coming home to roost'!
'Liberals' practice:
Intolerance for the Right
Tolerance for the Left
Exactly; the hypocrisy is soooo obvious yet ignored by many.

Good one, cheers Simon
Thanks James!

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'!
