From this article, The Prisoner does seems to have a lot in common with today's woke society. Especially the part about the election campaign saying "what must we do?" And the crowd responded, chanting "Progress!". That something I've noticed a lot lately. The protesters do that now. They said they want progress and equal rights and to end racism, but they never actually give any ways to achieve that. They don't go around chanting "court system reform" or "end war on drugs", they scream "black lives matter" and "end white supremacy". Its media/black instigators who have brainwashed the black population into thinking their biggest threat is the white man instead of themselves.
