It's clear that woke culture is driving people to stop engaging with it, as many of us here have probably also done in the name of preserving our mental health. What I'm questioning is, what happens when everyone just stops fighting it? Do people think they can out-vote it? It has control over academia (with STEM fields barely holding on), the major tech corporations, mainstream culture, and soon politics. This isn't an endorsement of Trump, I'm just stating facts. All I see here is people saying "man, social media is really unhealthy smh" and no one seems to realize that they are willingly vacating all of the platforms where they can oppose what they deem to be unhealthy. On Hacker News I still see people debating things like the handling of the coronavirus, the BLM movement, and other politically charged issues. I see some comments that make me angry, but mostly I either agree or disagree. I think it's quite well balanced and civil. I really like the moderation here, and I like that most people are willing to approach others' opinions with sincerity. With the current trend, how long will that realistically last? Now that mainstream news, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are falling to toxic ideology, coercion and censorship, what's to stop it from happening here too?
