Subject: Re: Is Hamas killing wokeness?
And along these lines: Wokeness messed up as a movement when the proclivities of its practitioners went too far.

It wasn't enough to just elevate some groups, no. You as a nonbeliever would be made to care and as a part of the process of gaining acceptance you needed to renounce your own identity and adopt a more...subservient...posture to the folks you want acceptance of. That's how the struggle sessions of antiracism all worked and it's straight out of the Maoist playbook:

What was initially presented as a movement to accept transgender individuals transformed into allowing men into women's locker rooms and permitting gender-affirming surgery on minors. In some cities, as proactive policing diminished, thousands of murders have occurred since 2014. Wokeness has resulted in the policing of everyday language, from a convoluted redefining of what a 'lesbian' is by Johns Hopkins, lest transgender people might be offended, to phrases such as 'you guys' and 'American' being considered unacceptable by Stanford.

The explosion of the Great Awokening and what may come next is, in some ways, reminiscent of the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution. What began as a legitimate gripe became an all-encompassing orgy of grievance that canceled people at will. However, many people don't remember that the Terror was followed by a reaction: disillusionment with the Revolution.
