"Woke" is smoothbrain for "progressive insanity", so no. There are absolutely some who would eagerly leap face first into a purity spiral on "the right" if given the chance, but it wouldn't be progressive in the slightest, and I would argue that it would be inherently less destructive. Christians finally rediscovering a spine and mildly complaining about constant vitriol, attacks, and vandalism is not on par with neo-marxist lunatics trying to destroy white civilization.
 
No because the right has always believed the exact same thing we don't believe in progress we believe in hierarchy we stand against the tide of the end of history liberalism and destruction of cultural religion and the peaceful blaspheming God.

I view Right-wingers now as I view Social Justice Warriors back in 2017. All these Trump supporters sperging at me when I called him the Chris Chan of presidents feels like the time leftists would sperg at me for saying "Nigger". The farms has become a /pol/ dominated website where the people who came from there would demand the site to themselves while crying about anyone who says anything critical about Trump, Assad, Russia, etc. It was supposed to be a politically neutral site. Crying leftist social justice warriors is a minority almost completely dried up.

KF is fine. If you want to experience the woke right you need to go on Twitter. Lunatics who want to control the culture and who are willing to call the employers of people they disagree with are extremely popular there.
 
No. Because the bases of Wokism are:
  • Degenerative sexual deviations.
  • Schizo-Trotskyism (the Fourth International), aka Modern Communism.
  • Socioparasitism (Govt. and private grants, donations).
The Right movement, to speak without irony, is built on a fundamentally different basis.

James Lindsay's argument is as follows: swap "the bougie scum" with "the Jews" and "gentrification" with "living in the pod", and both the far-left and the far-right hold the same ideology based around populist ressentiment. The problem with this argument is that it's a silly soundbite-generating gotcha that doesn't address the central issue, which is whether or not we are in a class war. If you're in a class war, then you will inevitably use the language of class warfare, which sounds vaguely like "rich people are keeping me from the lifestyle I deserve".

Both the Far Left and Far Right are in a class war with the 1% and they know it. Is this viewpoint evidenced? Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. From the Tea Party to OWS, the dissatisfaction with declining living standards is bipartisan, and people from younger generations consistently report difficulties with their finances due to tuitional debt and stagnant wages, regardless of whether or not they turn to left-wing or right-wing ideologies to explain the cause of their discontent.

The vaguely centrist neocon/neolib blob that Lindsay belongs to is a group that categorically denies that class warfare is even a thing. From their point of view, you should be happy with your lot in life and just keep calmly eating the detestable shit sandwich of unpayable debts, ethnic replacement, offshoring for cheap sweatshop labor, and shitty, suppressed wages.

What can you even say to a society that promises you forty years of wage slaving in a cuck cube and bars you from marriage, home ownership, vehicle ownership, and upward mobility at every turn, squeezing the lifeblood out of you for no real reward?

Meanwhile, the uber-wealthy are busy building a two-class society of poor, precariously employed, meticulously surveilled debt-serfs and the aristocratic rentiers looming over them who own and operate all the Waymo taxis, automated factories, AI data centers, cloud services, and other revenue-generating property.


 
I think there is actually a right-wing equivalent of wokeness.

I've seen it here on the farms, actually. Where people will violently rail against something because of a perceived injustice, usually in the form of catering to left-wing woke values.

For example there was an incident in the Silent Hill thread last year where people got mad that one of the modern games mentioned the COVID epidemic. The context, in the game, was explaining that the main character had a shitty life because the pandemic had caused her dad to lose her job... but people got mad that the game even dared to mention Covid as if that alone was some sort of major sin.

This sounds to me very much like "this game needs to have black people even if that would be unrealistic for the time period and country this game takes place in." Its asking game designers to ignore real world history for the sake of feels. If that's not a type of wokeness, what is?
 
I've only seen it used by civic nationalist and immigrant conservative scum coupled with "our greatest ally", "as long as it's legal immigration" and "foreign workers are simultaneously more qualified and will do the shit jobs you won't do", "third worlders align with our values" to explain why supporting mass immigration and the state of Israel is actually totally based and redpilled and owns the libs, but I'm not American and don't use twitter much.

It’s used by people who never believed in anything the right does to latch onto a political movement once it has power and gatekeep it away from the people who started and built it.
