The whole "Woke is winding down" narrative is such a massive cope, along the lines of "Well, that guy who's been punching my face seems to be getting tired, hopefully he'll only punch my face another 2 or 3 times."

The Social Justice takeover of not just every American institution but of just about every public-facing institution in the entire Anglosphere is winding down in the same way as a war starts winding down when the outcome has been decided: the victors have conquered and colonized every inch of territory, have installed one of their officers to govern every area, and only stir now to engage in the occasional mopping-up operation.

The "Woke is winding down" narrative is the other side of the coin to how people denied the Social Justice takeover in the first place: Oh, they're just some crazy college kids, they'll get over it; that's just Fox News trying to scare you; Critical race theory is just teaching about slavery, and besides no one is teaching it in high schools etc etc...

It seems very difficult for people raised in free societies to accept and acknowledge that a new state religion has been installed, especially when that religion comes draped in slogans of compassion, morality and proper etiquette, and also when bending the knee to that religion is the only way to maintain any type of successful career.

Great post. However, it seems to me that, on average, the woke movement went full fledge starting in 2015, which coincidentally is the time Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the US presidency. The fall also seems to happen around 2020, when Trump lost the presidential election.

I think that if Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, the internet will "Woke up" again. I am not sure if the trend will be seen on Twitter, since Elon is not a fan of the woke mob and viceversa.
