  1. Regarding the message: A lot of people think we can, all of us, everyone, isolate and keep the message in a jar somewhere - like a jar of honey - to be dipped into ocaisionally. But it isn't like that. We all have different messages, or different things we consider to be "the message". Despite massive immigration into the USA, up till about 2015, there was still a core set of values, stemming from Christianity and the Western Cannon, which we all still understood. Not all us us held to every aspect. But every aspect was part of the narrative of the West - so we knew where stories were coming from, and where they were going, even if we didn't always agree with them. Even ideas such such as feminism, anti-racism, had themes we could all connect to - because these derived from key Western ideas: liberty, equality, merit, freedom, fairness, justice - we all knew and accepted - inside out - being Westerners. Woke inverts this. So the thing woke does is to trash these values of the West, to invert morality. It's key "message". But woke, kind of, uses Western ideas to trash them. It's like a can of acid which corrodes. Not a jar of honey. For example: woke anti-racism says that white people are instrinsic oppressors, ... No one will go along with this unless they already got, and accepted, the woke indoctrination. But most of us never did. We never took those woke 101 university courses. So we find these new woke scripts absolutely baffleing. Which brings me back to that jar of honey. For wokes - the message is their new metaphysics - it is entirely alien to most people - for Bob Iger not to know this is laughable: the woke tell their tales for themselves, to themselves, to an imaginary woke audience - which barely exists.
