Wokeism isn't an organic thing that just happened culturally, it's the product of a massively resourced psychological operation.
Let's believe for a moment the people really afraid of Trump, they claim he'll use the military to send them to gitmo for sedition. If the fascist hammer they're afraid of really comes to be, they won't be around any longer to organize those psyops, and wokeism will largely disappear... some won't heal but they won't be effective without a head on the snake.
Did you know that almost no one is actually willing to kill another human?

Not sure I follow the reference, but also disagree with the sentiment
People will kill if they can feel good about themselves doing it, which usually involves an abstraction... Most people just don't want to get their hands dirty because there's no abstraction to blame when a mistake is made
If we want less violence that's important psychology to understand

From what I have learned, it takes a ton of programming, funded by whoever, to get people to a state where they are willing to kill other humans. It's not natural at all. I know this because I know children and babies. Killing other people isn't something we want to do. That's my observation. And I don't need anyone else to confirm that for me.

Kids are however born with instincts of fear, envy, etc
Kids don't generally want to kill animals either, but guess what... If it wasn't natural development for them to we wouldn't be here

I hear you. I know many stories. We all have one. We often refer to his-story. But... Who was telling that one?
Babies don't fear each other is my point. And humans don't have to kill animals to live. Never have. It's a story. Doesn't make it true. Envy is learned in my observation.

stories
Humans are pieces of hardware we can inspect, predictable pieces hardware, hardcoded with canines, a short digestive tract, and broad shoulders with fists attached.
The same instincts that drive us to socialization drive us also to violence, fear, protection, and general self-interest.
This hardware is so predictable it's why stories and spirituality exist, as a temperance/middleware layer to filter the effects of external stimuli on the primal behavior of the underlying hardware.
Envy is learned in my observation.
Relying on your own understanding of these types of things is just hubris, denying what is true won't make it any less true or get us anywhere closer to minimizing violence.
If violence isn't natural, then why does it happen? If we teach it, what taught it to us first?

I'm stupid is all. Science is hard for me. I can never be as smart as you. So I trust myself. Nothing outside of I am that I need to know about. All is one. All is good. Believe whatever you like. I just share my observations sometimes. I am not claiming to be right or to know anything.

My point exactly, we're all developers debugging the software to our animal hardware.
