>Why should we be interested in an anti-woke perspective from the left, when it's just repeating what the right has been pointing out for a long time now?

Because two groups can agree on the problem but disagree on the solution. For the left, the solution to the "woke" problem is de-centering identity in order to further the cause of anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, etc; for the right, the solution to the "woke" problem is to deny that any of the problems raised by the "woke" are problems at all -- and in fact to center identity.

It sucks that Kon felt slighted, but there really is no such thing as 'too much homage'. Scorsese's The Departed is a shot-for-shot remake of Infernal Affairs and also his first Oscar. It's how art gets mades.
