I sounded the alarm on left-identitarianism almost a decade ago, but I knew wokeness was doomed as soon as it failed to establish universal control of expression. As I saw it, the wave broke about a year and a half ago. However it is not going to go away overnight, I suspect we will be fighting these battles for several years. Further, I don't see a lot of people clearly addressing the root issue of entrenched elite interests that are situated and motivated to exert coercive control over the public. Wokeness was, I think, epiphenomenal, a stalking horse for ideological coalitions adapted to justify totalitarianism.
