Well, indeed. I'm just old barely enough to remember the 90–2000s debate about "political correctness," and one of the things I find most fascinating about the discussion of "wokeism" is how completely indistinguishable it is from the discussion of "political correctness".
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoMy impression (just an impression) is that the "woke" (or whatever label you want to put on in) stuff is much wider spread and much longer-lived than "political correctness" was. Political correctness didn't get much traction outside of universities. "Woke" has.
