Almost a hundred years ago....in the newly proclaimed Soviet Union....the communist folks came up with this idea to introduce their method of running things, and it meant arriving in towns, village and cities....convincing people that they needed to confess to certain thing (self-humiliation really)....to rise out of the ashes.
As the years passed, and Mao arrived to remake the Chinese government....this idea of self-humiliation came up and they redesigned it....calling it 'struggle sessions'.
The basic idea? You'd take general public opinion and just destroy the hell out of it....getting people humiliate themselves, their relatives, friends, and co-workers. Everywhere....there would be enemies of the public.
The idea here? Everyone was a victim as they exited the struggle session. And they stayed victims....in order to appear 'in-tune' with the game being played out.
Struggle sessions were held at work, in the local neighborhood, and even at large arenas/stadiums.
If you stand back today.....wokeness is basically the struggle sessions in a modern day society.
Funny how history repeats itself. But if you asked college professors about the struggle sessions....I doubt if you'd find more than a thousand in the entire US who know of the Chinese history, and how it changed society.
