  Or -more likely- being afraid of a new ideological framework (wokeness) is a moral panic (like the war on drugs, communist scares, etc.)

  Here is "wokeness" as defined by the lawyer for the leader of the anti-woke brigade: > Asked what “woke” means more generally, [Desantis’ General Counsel Ryan] Newman said “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” > Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ Communications Director said “woke” was a “slang term for activism…progressive activism” and a general belief in systemic injustices in the country. Theoretically, this inherently hyper-political stuff does not belong on HN, yet it's often tolerated here for some reason.
