    One of the reasons that western countries are woke is that we have had a relatively stable and prosperous time of it over the past three decades - we have achieved a comfortable position where certain parts of society can start to address what they see as social wrongs. One can liken it to a type of Sociological Maslow's hierarchy of needs, we have achieved a position where those that want to can luxuriate in their Marxist ideologies while maintaining their champagne socialist lifestyle.

      No one has to become racist, people need to be encouraged to think and say no to ideas that will ultimately disadvantage them, and that applies to all UK citizens, whatever their heritage. Some of my family are from an immigrant background, the other part are indigenous to the extent that their ancestors were displaced by the Anglo Saxon invaders. Fine, populations change and culture is never static, but for any people to be asked or told to make innumerable concessions to their present cultural identity and values, the consequences will be catastrophic. Apart from anything else, a point will be reached when acquiescence ceases and retaliation begins, along with chaos and chaotic thinking. Let's not attempt to persuade anyone to take a route that leads there. Which isn't to suggest passivity, but thoughtful responses that can lead to an effective challenge. Engage people, inform them, urge them to inform themselves and act on that basis.

    The main problem is a spiritual one.
    All English speaking nations can trace their origins back to a nation whose entire moral code, belief system, customs, laws and social structures were founded upon Christianity. What has been allowed to happen is the eroding, disabling and almost entire rejection of that foundation, leaving a colossal vacuum for any ideology to fill.
    Currently fighting to fill the vacuum are common bed-fellows Neo-Marxism and Islam, because they are in conflict with a common enemy (Christian civilisation), but when any significant influence of the latter has been nullified, as it will in the Anglosphere, those two bed-fellows will no longer want to share the same bed.

    Part of it is purely linguistic: in most European languages there is a strong distinction between e.g. male and female roles. Read, say, any French film closing credits, it will list e.g. the film's editor as "Monteur" when male and as "Monteuse" when female. It's "physically" impossible to do in other languages what is routinely done in English, namely refer to a female role by male pronouns and call the result "gender neutral".

They were right to do it, but it started this process of collectively guilt tripping the people to achieve an objective. It was then further exacerbated in the 19th century with the advent of liberalism. Again, people usually had to be persuaded that the continuation of imperialism/empire was done to serve a higher moral principle - that it was in the interests of humanity to share our civilisation with other parts of the world - and it wasn’t enough to just claim that it was in the best interests of the nation to conquer foreign lands and control their resources, which may have been true but it would appear entirely self-interested.

    "why is woke strongest in english-speaking nations?". I'm listening to this video for the 2nd time in a row and can't find WHERE the speakers specifically answered this question. Why do the English-speaking nations in particular have a "concerted & focsed policy"? Why do English-speaking people allowed themselves, as a group, to be seen as "oppressors" but French-speaking or Spanish-speaking (had big empires) do not? Why do the English, in particular, fall prey to this? One man at 8:07 spoke about the anglosphere but he didn't explain WHY the English-speaking people are particularly vulnerable to feeling guilty but not French-speakers or Spanish-speakers (who had empires also).

(Evinced by virtue-signalling, ‘rescuing’ supposedly oppressed minorities; and the excommunication of dissenters.)

    One reason that wokeism particularly afflicts the English-speaking countries is that wokeism is largely a disease of language; across the anglosphere, for nearly a century, teachers have applied the false but self-serving argument that English has no grammar so grammar need not be taught. Consequently, generations of native English-speakers have not been taught to speak or read or use the most expressive language in history with its full expression or richness of meaning.
    Allegedly well-educated English speakers nowadays do not understand fine distinctions between similar but different words, and cannot distinguish between, say, “if” and “whether”, and, by failing to discern the difference between the indicative and subjunctive moods, cannot spot the difference between, for example, a definitive claim and a contingent wish. (Allegedly educated Americans at times cannot even tell the difference between the verbs “lie”, “lie” and lay”, and cannot use past participles of basic verbs such as “go” properly.)
    Furthermore, the apparent lack of gendered nouns in English assists those who insist there ought to be no distinctions of gender in language or of sex in society.
    if people have not been taught to read well or to analyse information thoroughly, or to reason competently, they will, of course, lack the ability to spot the falsehoods, fabrications and folly in any specious propaganda fed to them.
