Wokeness is a fanatical faith that can’t be beat with nothing, i.e. going to back to liberalism 5 years ago or “common good” weirdness.

Nationalism is weak. That's why you need laws on migrants and tariffs, people won't sacrifice a dollar for their "nation." Historical trend has it losing to universalist ideologies: liberal internationalism, wokeness, Communism, Islamism, but they keep running into human nature

There was a slight sliver of history when from about 1789 to 1945, when technology was such that gov had a monopoly on propaganda and got people to die in large numbers for their countries without revolting (still need conscription). But that's not the norm, it was an aberration.
