War on drugs - drugs won

War on terror - terror won

War on woke - ๐Ÿคž

It's never been about defeating those things, it's about expanding power using them as an excuse.

Exactly.

  1. War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government
  2. War on Terror - PATRIOT Act, or whatever its current incarnation is
  3. War on Woke - probably government access to medical records and/or privacy generally, but I guess we'll see

War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government

And increase incarceration of certain people to expand legal slavery under the 13th amendment.

expand legal slavery

Maybe in some states, but in many (most?), they just become a burden on taxpayers.

War on drugs - excuse to further oppress blacks and mexicans (successful)

War on terror - excuse to violently expand influence in the middle east (mission accomplished)

War on woke - ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

  • War on Woke - war on privacy and access to undesirable (to the state) information

As RATM says:

Who controls the past now, controls the future.

Who controls the present now, controls the past.

It's just Big Brother.

that makes sense. to start utilizing their surveillance network more aggressively to their interests. trying to censor out "woke", as in socialism and anticapitalism in general, activism etc...

yeah this doesn't look good does it.

I mean they literally came out and said that they hate empathy.

Considering how tired and sleepy I feel, they may be winning this one.
