one simple model is that woke shit is empowered and enforced by large swathes of regulatory code and both private and public bureaucracies with god knows how many jobs involved. and so most likely it will not be going anywhere until the federal government is overthrown or remade

so yes with this model you might as well ask equivalently "when does the regulatory sector go away" or perhaps "when is the heat death of the universe"https://twitter.com/HeywoodFloyd10/status/1459692996027428865?t=2cy3cluNFQ_yAdh_Wefhgg&s=19 …

afaict a major lesson of history since the 1930s is that bureaucracies in a modern state never ever go away. elections dont change them, laws dont change them, revolutions rarely upset them unless theyre accompanied by a total collapse of a state to failure

so to the extent that woke shit is become entrenched in little things like "the massively publicly funded education system" and "organizations who decide whether you can be fired or sued or taken over by the federal government" i would guess it is not going anywhere

this entire thread contradicts the original tweet, i took a shower and shaved between the first tweet and the rest of them and my thinking evolved during this time

Still, the air feels like that *something* is going to give and we'll move towards a new political regime. The only question is how big of a "regime" shift will it be and what shape it will take.

You’re both right; the admin state will stay woke but elite culture will move on.

The stale cultural position (Nu Atheism and comic book/rock nerdery) of time serving Gen X nerds provides a clue to what ‘woke’ will look like in ten years.
