Woke is cultural Marxism, deconstructing competence hierarchies, identity politics, quotas, oppression olympics, that sort of thing.

This isn't those things at all.

Plenty of people call renewable energy woke

Could you explain cultural marxism to me in your own words?

More so, could you hazard a guess why those friends would be categorically against renewables?

Yes, the first one was the original meaning of the word.

The second one is... I don't know how to debate someone who quotes Wikipedia like this. It's not what I said. That article looks incredibly one-sided, and uses fallacies of the "You think snow is white? Did you know Adolph Hitler thought snow was white?" persuasion.

What is "cultural Marxism"? I genuinely do not understand.
