Wow, what a theory. Please, tell me more about the authoritarianism of the least powerful people in society.

To be fair, I was being glib there. This probably is the best attempt I've seen to define it - certainly better than when I usually ask the question that I did. In truth, though, I believe there is no 'woke' movement. I'm old enough to remember when people moaning about this stuff called it "political correctness gone mad" and, just like then, I have seen very little to convince me that 'wokism' and 'wokeness' are not just terms used by reactionaries who enter the 'free marketplace of ideas' and lose.

Any time there's an actual free marketplace of ideas (i.e. little to no censorship), right wing ideas win. This has been the case for literally all of human history. This is why woke social media companies crack down so hard - it's the only tool left in their collective box when the people won't think the way you want them to.
