If everything is a power game and there is no objective truth then it's true that everything is not a power game and there is objective truth. And that the belief in no-objectice truth is itself a power-game, as the power to decide truth is power indeed.

Sure I would agree, but good luck convincing the wokists. This argument itself would be seen as illegitimate if they think you are an oppressor. It's really a way to dominate any and every conversation with whatever they want. It's a justification they use as a thin veil to fool regular people who don't think too deep about this.

There is no new state religion, it's the same as it has been for decades. Consumption.

I hope you're right, but you are missing how much this has crept into government. We have several politicians on the left now holding these ideas. Companies love it precisely because it's looking like half of the politicians are onboard, and they all think this is the only ethical future. Which means this may not stop at just fashion or marketing but rather something that infects everyone alike, young and old, workers, CEOs, politicians. It's a mind virus and so far it has captured half of society at least, because it exploits the weak minds of the masses.
