@vgr Really enjoying @breaking_smart, but noticed in the latest issue the mention of “Woke Thought Police” and “canceling everyone”. I’m really interested in this, and curious what’s going on with this idea, that there’s a crisis of some kind, taking root. 1/2
The issue with woke is not that it makes the privileged uncomfortable. It is using an insincere pretense of protecting the underprivileged to grab authoritarian power. If it actually distributed power more equitably, a lot more people would be supportive.

Why would you think it’s insincere? That doesn’t track wrt people I interact with.

Then you haven't interacted with enough people in this neck of the woods tbh

What it actually appears to be doing in institution after institution is create an unaccountable new class of apparatchiks. Very little of this power struggle is visible in public, but it is certainly playing out.

How are some people so clued in and concerned, when it is not visible in public? And what sort of institutions? How do we know this is a pervasive problem, rather than something that rubs some people the wrong way who then get vocal about it?
