Putin On Wokeism – Wokeism is a phenomenon that has swept the globe. People have been waking up to the realities of life and are starting to question things they previously accepted as true.

The Russian President’s Latest Anti-Western Campaign Rests on A Perversion of Social Justice Movements.
Putin’s latest anti-Western campaign rests on a perversion of social justice movements. In the past, Putin has used the language of social justice to attack his opponents. He’s also used it to distract from his own corruption and that of his allies.
Putin’s use of woke language is another example of this pattern: he uses woke rhetoric when convenient, but only when it suits him politically or personally. In reality, he cares very little about equality or fairness his only concern is in maintaining power for himself and for those closest to him, who are often corrupt.
Wokeism Is a Conspiracy Theory Too According to Putin.
The Russian president has accused the US of spearheading a ‘Woke’ conspiracy. Putin said that the US had launched an “information war” against Russia and other countries. He claimed that “Woke” activists were being used as a tool in this campaign.
“Wokeism is a new stage of subversion,” he told journalists, adding that it was part of an attempt to destabilize democracy by undermining faith in democratic institutions and processes.
He said: “In this case, they are using the term ‘Woke’ which is a new term that means being aware of your surroundings, seeing things as they really are, not as they are presented to you by fake news or propaganda outlets or whatever else they call them these days.

Conclusion
Wokeism is a tricky “philosophy” because no one seems to really agree what it entails. Putin poses the question of whether it’s simply virtue signaling, or if it has any concrete and universal tenets. While he doesn’t seem to offer any insight himself, he does raise some good points about the subject, and offers up an interesting question for anyone who claims to subscribe to that methodology.
