60 years ago your kids would’ve been woke about black people and women having equal rights. 20 years ago they would’ve been woke for LGB rights. Now they’re apparently woke because of trans rights. Or rights every human should have.

> 60 years ago your kids would’ve been woke about black people and women having equal rights You are assuming here I take every change as bad. That's plain wrong, so you have no point.

  You didn't quote the rest of my comment. What negative wokeness are you talking about for me to have no point (when you include my entire comment)?

    Speech policing. Like renaming 'master' branches to 'main', which seems the most ergerious example from my perspective.

      Are there laws saying to do this, or conversations saying "hey maybe this language is better to use?" Why do you care about this? Shouldn't you just... ignore it?

        It is an example. It does affect my workflows. I've seen people I respect being ostracized for refusing to comply.

        Why are these people refusing to comply to something so unimportant? Didn't you say there are more important things to spend time on? Getting ostracized (probably an exaggeration) for refusing to comply is so unimportant and so pointless.

        The answer to that question is the same as to this hypothetical: what if I ask you to move pencil next to you 1cm to the left and you are busy. When performed by a mob, it is a DDoS attack, and the reason to not comply with it is the same reason people block sources of the DDoS attacks. Moreover, people ban the sources, and share the list with every other good player, so they wouldn't have to deal with the same problem. Also re "something so unimportant". I never said it is unimportant. It is very important for my workflow to be consistent over time for efficiency.
