I've been struggling to find a good term to sum up the Bad Thing it's not exactly BLM or SJW, as those are broad and conflated with some actually good and sympathetic ideas at the root. Same with wokism. I've started using the term 'The Infection' and it feels perfect.

People can "be infected"; it has the connotation of a viral thing that modifies the hosts. There can be degrees of infection. People can be showing symptoms of infection. And it refers specifically to the damaging, viral aspects, without getting confused with the original good.

Sorry, I don't believe combating Racism, misogyny and inequality is a bad thing. Give me any label you like, I'll wear it proudly. Treat others with respect. Pay your taxes. Invest in your community. Grow up.
