I actually think we're probably already at the point where the marginal bit of anti-wokeness is on balance more bad than good. (Not the same as wokeness being good, because anti-wokeness doesn't just fight wokeness, it also has many, IMO mostly bad, side effects) https://twitter.com/0FJAKE/status/1783928239099875386

What’s missing from anti-wokeness is any positive description of values and preferences worth promoting.

Don’t only the extreme groups lack that? Feels like general anti-woke tends to push conservative values / focus on economics over identity. A moderate example being companies like Coinbase valuing a mission over actively supporting social causes

Is Coinbase antiwoke? I thought they’re just mission driven

Yea maybe 'anti' is too far.. woke-averse could work? haha but that could be the point - publicly challenging the movement itself while maintaining your own moderate path is a good level of pushback, which doesn't retaliate or try to take ground from the underlying progressive causes

Yeah exactly. I think a major mistake is to punish a movement for its excesses, e.g. by violently swinging the pendulum other way. Retributive justice causes amplification. Good institutions are mass tuned dampers for seismic ideologies and may even convert that energy into useful work.
