- pelasaco 5y agoHyperNormalisation is a great way to describe it and would fit too, however nobody knows it today, which is a shame. Regarding, woke as a term, the term meaning changed along the years. As i used here, was as the Economist described it[1]: "outlook on a host of issues as well as on race". For me sounds like whoever produced this video, had a checklist of groups that should be seem, maybe yes giving up on the complex "real world" and built a simpler "fake world" to avoid bad PR on Twitter (which is per se, a fake world).
