Do you think the Woke, SJW trend will ever become "uncool"

Or is it here today?

Will pushing the boundaries, making offensive jokes, not being obsessed with identity politics ever become the norm again

Or is the progressive push here to stay

I think it’s already started on some level.

Just going by social media, I know people that used to post woke/SJW bullsh!t CONSTANTLY and now some of them have either dramatically reduced those kind of posts or stopped completely.

I think that Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma really exposed human beings for what we are and how we seek validation from our peers. Most of these people don’t really care about these issues as much as they make it seem like they do. It’s selective outrage and they’re riding a wave of moral narcissism. Everything you post on social media is designed to give you a dopamine rush. Otherwise you’d delete your account.

Yeah I hear you, social media is the worst thing I've seen happen to humans in my lifetime. Especially to women. They cannot handle it.

Every woman acts the same now, doesn't matter if its a country girl from the sticks or some hood rat, they all look and behave the exact same way, it's just sad.

You're already seeing conservative values become counter culture, really for the first time in decades. As successful people embrace those values (health/wellness, family, entrepreneurship, etc.) and the failures of woke lifestyle continue to reveal themselves (mental health issues, blaming others, ugly and alone, etc.) it'll be pretty clear what is cool and what is not. Similar to the 'edgy' people in the past growing up to be deadbeat losers.

In fact it seems Gen Z already is a bit better than Millennials at this. Millennials really will go down as the worst generation srs getting picked on by both Boomers and generations under us. Deservedly so

June & July last year was crazy but less than a year later & I it already seems to be petering out.

If I'm being honest in my own personal life it hasn't really made a difference, maybe if you live in a city like NYC

I think this generation will continue to ride the woke train and the next one will swing the pendulum the other way.

Nah it’s not here to stay. There are ebb and flows with everything and this isn’t and exception. We are starting to see more and more speak out openly against blm, turning kids trans and all that goes with it.


Will we ever go back? Like the good ol days? No. But now they’ve served their purpose and helped do the switchero with the voting scandal to get rid of bad orange man their time is up. They’re a few minor annoyances away from being cuffed and hauled int like the criminals they are. Idk how or when it’ll happen but the fringe lunatics will never be the ones to control society jfl.
This body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone.
Makes me feel eternal, all this Pain is an Illusion.

Being woke and a SJW is already uncool.

The issue is they've completely taken over social media and even mainstream media. No one likes them but they have a lot of power.

100k people on twitter can force a multinational company to fire someone or change their policies. Even if 300 Million Americans disagree with those 100k people it doesn't matter because twitter is extremely influential.

It's like how the actual Nazi party wasn't that big but they could control anyone since they'd take you and your family and kill you if you tried to disagree.
Liverpool FC. YNWA.

Toronto Crew

Ooooo I'm a ghost

Agreed. I think people are gonna end up seeing it as a fad that passed.

You don’t really realize it when you’re in it.
