    you know woke as a term and signifier predates the industrial revolution, right? the sentiment shared in the post doesn’t have anything to do with social media. being indifferent to woke, anti-woke sentiments is ultimately anti-woke and reflects poorly on the holder of that stance

      According to wikipedia it was already a known term in the 1860’s. But that’s a hundred years after the industrial revolution started. Still a damn long time though.
