Shigenobu is a revolting human being. In another era, she would have surely been executed for treason, and deservedly so.
You are so right about the correlation between the radical leftist movements of the 20th century and the woke movement of the 21st century, each not only fuelled by the rhetoric of Marxism, but the works that emanated from the evil minds of philosophers and ideologues such as Marcuse and Gramsci.
The pernicious characteristics of the woke left are truly horrifying, and yet mainstream society simply perceive this phenomenon as either a benign inconvenience, or the cure-all to our social ills.
Very few make the connection between the insidious origins of leftist ideology, and the seemingly palatable social and political landscape that has manifested in the modern era.
Your line about how easily the leftist ideological response can escalate from rhetoric to violence is excellent - "It is not such a big step from virtue signalling to attacking statues, to then carrying out terrorist attacks even in other countries."
