Back in the '90s everything messed up was “gay.” The teacher won’t let you turn in late homework, that’s gay. Recess was cut short by a fire alarm, so gay.
I had a hopeful but naive view of humanity. I thought that progress in science and technology would naturally lead to a more educated and tolerant society. Sigh.
Woke is the exact same criticism the right has had for the left for about 60 years. Before it was “woke”, it was “politically correct”, and before it was politically correct it was “bleeding-heart”.
Conservatives love to recycle, at least when it comes to ideals.

I thought we’d moved past that immaturity.
It’s almost as though “woke” is being used as a euphemism for something that people can no longer say without getting pushback.
When exactly did you think immaturity would be surpassed?
Yeah, most people never actually grow up, they just get older.

I think the same too & in a way it has.
