I don't see what's "woke" or even "unwoke" about absurdly aggressive copyright enforcement or your bitcoin account being frozen.


I think he means that leftists with a real political will wants to cancel private property in favor of a single shared property.

Which means no copyright, or copyright owned by the state. And the state to be in charge to collect royalties from foreign countries.

Wokeness and the hammer and sickle covered in blood are symbols that often appears concurrently true left parades (at least in Europe, though actually occasionally in the right too)

So I think he connected the two concepts by association.


What on earth does bitcoin exchanges being locked have to do with wokeness.


I am not saying copyright laws or my frozen crypto account are woke. The link is the method: In all the cases, being called out for saying something politically slightly incorrect, the youtube handheld thing case in Italy, and my Bitcoin funds in Austria => people are punished before any wrongdoing is proven. Different issues, same "guilty first, check later" mindset.
