Great essay! That's an interesting connection you explore, between the Self-Esteem/Human-Potential Movement and the phenomenon of self-important, wannabe Messianic, cultlike wokeists, who claim to be about social justice (or "climate justice") but don't have amy clue what "justice" even is, nor do they care to develop any kind of realistic or philosophically defensible concept of justice.
You may enjoy John Carter's essay on this theme, in which he dubs these woke cancel-culture mobsters "Marxcissists," which is a perfect term for them: https://barsoom.substack.com/p/the-marxcissists
