Could someone explain to me what leads an author to blindly embark on the Woke agenda and Agenda 2030 proposed by the UN and present us with a hero who is a cosplay of billionaire Bill Gates and all liberal millionaires who want to control and dictate how we should live our lives while strolling through world on private jets wearing designer clothes?
The author follows a script determined by the woke agenda where in each paragraph she shoves some revolutionary liberal agenda down our throats.
What happened to that author who presented us with wonderful heroes and heroines that we identified with? Was she co-opted by the revolutionary movement and decided to write only for those who agree with the type of politics she defends?
Unfortunately, that's what it seems.
There are pages and pages of preaching and virtue signaling from the heroes.
Everything really pissed me off and I held out until 37% and definitely threw in the towel. After buying more than 60 of the author's books and following her career from the beginning, I simply can't do it anymore.

“You never intend to get married?” I asked. “Nope,” he answered. “Is it an issue with the concept of marriage, perhaps religious, or the government’s involvement?” “None of those. I’m just not the marrying type.”

“Are you calling me a racist now?” Oskar demanded. “No, I’m suggesting you’re a misogynist,” Elsa returned smoothly.

“Not entirely, but I limit meat. For environmental reasons. Though, as you can tell, I could do better with that since I’m not limiting cheese.”

“I have yet to meet Lizzo,”

“Do you honestly think it’s only a matter of willpower, and not a failure of our mental health system that leaves many without the capacity to acquire the tools to find healthier ways to live their lives?”

“Thank God the kindly, well-off Jews who took in your great-grandparents as they fled the Nazis didn’t have your views on immigrants,” David retorted.

“You can’t get any more real and in-your-face than New York. You can’t get any more fruity and fake than LA.”

Images of his mother and father and feeling invisible or miserable juxtaposed over memories of Tom and Genny, Chloe, Matt and Sasha.

“Emilie is spoiled and was never allowed to grow up,” Hale said. “She also suffers from pretty-girl syndrome, erroneously operating under the assumption her good looks will get her everything she wants. This might be the case, at her age. But she’s going to run into some ugly truths when society deems her unworthy after she hits thirty-five.

“But I’ll never in my life understand a man like Oskar. He’s a chauvinist and a bigot. He obviously didn’t get that from his dad, and he’s educated, so he has no excuse not to be more enlightened.

His awesome browbeating of Oskar on the subject of body-shaming I wished I had on tape.

Still, to this day, these things were so embedded in our society, women unwittingly fell into patterns I had no interest in and had no intention of following.

“It’s still women’s stories as written by a man.”

“You can’t run through women like water, buddy boy. Remember, every woman is a different version of a cat. Some are affectionate. Some are aloof. Some are wild. Some are divas. Some are combinations of those. But all of us have claws.”

They’re pissed you give money to pro-choice organizations.

you’ve forced them to rewrite hiring, diversity, equality and harassment policies and demanded gender and race neutral remuneration.

“You’ve then forced them to go green and establish strategies to be carbon neutral within a decade. You then significantly cut or even eliminated executive bonuses,

Another thing that pisses off the alt-right, you’re the human equivalent of woke, and even though the vast majority of them don’t even know what woke means, they hate you for it.
