This guy is both somewhat correct but also insufferable. It's a big case of don't shoot the message.
He also seems to insist on his own weird definition of "woke". In general it's used to define an obsession with identity politics that is entirely devoid of material and class analysis, of a kind that is especially prominent among the PMC, which nutrek is a perfect example of.
It's a shame, this kind of video could be exactly the kind of thing that helps build bridges to de-reactionisation of alienated "nerds". It sets out in a Marxist context a structured explanation of what I've seen more cohereant righties try to express, but instead he chooses to insult people.
You're using the misappropriated conservative definition of the word. Woke originally means "aware of systemic discrimination". You're "awake" to the fact the system is trying to crush you.
He's using "woke" the same way it's been used since the 90s. You're using the the conservative definition that Republicans co-opted from the black community.
