Are those people also making posts like "I'd rather get shot by Mao than use Instagram Threads/Reels" right now?

Sure. People older than 30 also dislike when the government tries to censor their access to some media.

PG just wrote a blog, it shows the history of how students in the 1960s holding Mao's Red Book (pun intended) was the origin of the "woke" thing.

PG is full of shit. "Woke" originated within the black activist community and culturally goes back as far as the 1930s. It got adopted and became mainstream within the white liberal progressive community through the popularity of black music artists and social media in the late 20th century. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mao's Red Book or communism.

OK lets get rid of the "woke" thing here, let me rephrase, does the "1960s Berkeley protests" have a connection with

- Mao's Red Book, and

- the BLM/metoo/woke thing in the 2020s?

Maybe you could tell me what connection you want me to see?

Yeah… People just hate being told what they’re not allowed to do.

It's a very American attitude to rebel against the tyranny of the government, after all. Something about taxation without representation?
