MODERATORS
I tried to figure out how they're defining woke this time too. Even after reading it's still a bit vague, but I think it comes down to this quote:
“Far-right parties will keep talking about immigration because it's their core topic, but in order to increase their appeal they need to kind of diversify their issues, what they talk about, and this is where woke capitalism comes in,” said Sofia Vasilopoulou, professor of European politics at King’s College London.
Far-right folks don't wanna think about anything other than what they've been thinking about all this time. Having to suddenly think about other things is too much for them. At least that's what I'm getting from this.
Have you tried reading the article?
Nigel Farage, definitely in the running for most punchable face in the UK (under stiff competition)
The far-right constantly creates these scapegoats to get the populist vote. How exactly is 'woke capitalism' as he calls it, hurting anyone? It isn't. But it makes for a good headline and something for the racist/homophobic voters to rally on.
The irony being that if banks encouraged Christian values and a nice nuclear family that wouldn't be a "set of social and political ‘values’ we should align to", right? /s
Please remember that politico is Achsel Springer (Bild) so, a shitshow.
