It's kind of obvious, isn't it? Media, movies, music, governments, celebrities, Hollywood etc, etc. Woke propaganda is literally everywhere.
What are the main characteristics of a woke person? I'd guess it's childishness, hivemind and blind belief in authority. They all are childish, they all look and think alike and they all believe even the most outrageous lies that are spewed out on them.
Seems to me it is kind of like a social engineering experiment. It's an attempt to create perfectly obedient, unthinking mass of literal biorobots. All the rest is just details. The very main goal is controllable and obedient crowd.
Just look at any woke person and imagine that this is responsible, critically thinking and independent person. Of course not! It's just laughable. Those hamsters are dependent on the system up to their ears. Especially mentally and intellectually. Just the way it was meant to be.
They don't really believe everything, but mass media lies are actually directives as to how to behave and which lies to regurgitate. Think of them as social marching orders; non-compliance has a social cost.
I see it more as an attempt to emulate the Chinese Cultural Revolution ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution ). In my personal view, the contemporary western world renamed it the culture wars. To me, cancel culture is the Cancel Cultural Revolution.
Even without that big-picture point of view, and even if the authoritarians don't get what they want, there are political benefits to be had. For starters, it maximizes they number of people who think that they have been victimized in some way by traditional society.

That's a good point. I guess, the word "believe" can also be interpreted in a wider sense of that word. Some of them really do believe, but for some others the very act of believing is not important anymore. When indoctrination is so deep, that they do not need to be convinced of things anymore, they've kind of outsourced their critical thinking to the third party so actual believing or disbelieving something is not relevant.
That's quite a scary thought actually. You can still argue with someone who disagrees with you because he believes in some other things or has other values etc, but you absolutely can't argue with someone whose critical thinking is simply not there - if it's outsourced any meaningful discussion becomes impossible.
Fictitious directives towards outcome tempting those who consent to ignore being (life) directed (inception towards death) within actual origin.
Truth vs lie (fictional) distracts reaction (life) from action (inception towards death).
Ones consent regurgitates any suggested truth or lies until withdrawn from aka letting go of, hence holding onto information establishing circular logic aka internal regurgitation of external "food for thought".
Suggested information (fictional) tempts one to ignore that perceivable inspiration (actual) cannot be held onto or regurgitated.
Person aka per sonos (by sound)...claiming mine distracts one from being insane aka in sanus (within sound).
Others suggest THE VIEW to distract ones sight from being within moving sound by tempting one to focus aka narrow ones sight to what another shows.
Taking a side within a war implies ones ignorance of being set apart from one another. TAKING truth or false from one another establishes the artificial war against each other, while ignoring that only nature is GIVING.
Nature differentiates being...few within tempt many together, which establishes a) like-minded behavior and b) conflicts of reason against each other aka war.
Technique/tekhnē - "art, skill, craft" implies suggested artifice distracting different beings (ones perception) from same nature (all perceivable).
It's ones consent given to any suggestion by another which opens the exploit by closing ones awareness of perceivable.
Example...If I craft a house, then I can tempt those who consent to live in it to ignore the natural need to shelter for the artificial want to seek shelter from me.
Seeking becomes the very addiction one needs to shelter from... https://genius.com/The-rolling-stones-gimme-shelter-lyrics
