A really fascinating look at where/how/why we got the problem of "Woke" and the politics of cancel culture. It came to us many decades ago through academia refugees we welcomed to our universities, embedded itself and spread alarmingly throughout our culture. This podcast ("Woke Army") is a history lesson well worth listening to:

A culture war of creating tribes; divide and conquer. Classic communist tactics; setting a People against its own.

Tear down old institutions and replace them with yours.

Animal Farm and 1984 are excellent books by George Orwell that everybody should have a read long ago.

I suspect they have been removed from school libraries many decades ago.

I’m beginning to suspect that most people are just plain illiterate.

James Lindsay's podcast is essential listening if you want to understand the Marxist theoretical background(s) of the various movements which have now been subsumed under "intersectionality". Highly recommend.
