What isn't 'woke' these days? The language is over the top but does the

Yes. Absolutely it does.
 
Civilised behaviour is a culture of tolerance. Woke is a culture of
vicious intolerance towards anyone who challenges a narrow definition of
a modern Puritanism.
 
Civilised behaviour doesn't get you fired. Civilised behaviour doesn't
get you blacklisted.
 
Woke is part of the reason Trump will be president. People don't like
being told what to think. This isn't Putin's Russia.

I understand your point but I've self-censored myself for a very long
time. My unfiltered thoughts probably would get me fired or blacklisted.

What does bother me about woke is, while I wouldn't refer to someone as a
fat, black, lesbian asshole in most conversations, not the fat, black,
lesbian asshole wants a pat on the head.

I think some of it is épater le bourgeois but I'm from the wrong
generation to be shocked by a pierced, rainbow-haired blob. I do regret
that they have achieved any political power.

I don't like musicals but I'm reminded of 'Cabaret' and what happened when
the music stopped at the Kit Kat Klub.
