Considering The Shining's subtext, what would Kubrick think of "Wokism"

I very strongly feel that this film is under the surface saying a lot about America's (and also West's) history of imperialism and racism, and how these cultural artefacts are carried on from one Empire (British) to another (America), from one generation to another, from father to son. This is the sort of discussion about American history that Florida Governor Ron De Santis has passed laws to limit (The Anti-Woke Laws) this year.

On the other hand, Kubrick was a keen student of history, not just American history. Kubrick was also deeply, profoundly skeptical of the human race, and seemed rather cynical about man's ability to change his stripes. He also seemed a fiercely independent and Libertarian streak, although with a decidedly leftward leaning. So he likely would have been rather opposed to some of the more extreme and anti-free speech aspects of "Wokism", and also skeptical that black, brown and female people on the micro level and non-Western nations on the macro level would be any more likely to avoid the pitfalls of humanity as they gained power and equality in society and on the world stage.

I am thinking about the dispute that Kubrick had with Kirk Douglas and Dalton Trump while making Spartacus. As leftists, they clearly saw Spartacus as an heroic, almost Christ-like figure fighting against Imperialism and tyranny. Kubrick, if he had has his druthers, would have taken a more nuanced approach, exploring how Spartacus himself had become somewhat corrupted by his newfound power based on historical records of the time. In other words, Kubrick was too independent to tow a strict party line, even if he mostly was on Spartacus's side. This pattern of iconoclastic independence carried throughout his career.

My personal take is that Kubrick above all was interested in examining power, and power relationships, more so than he was "anti-White" or "anti-America". Not that he had the least reservations about also criticizing the West or America, mind you. So, anyway, what would Kubrick have thought of modern Wokism? We may as well expand this to modern Conservatism as well.
