Wokeism excesses have killed Wokeism
It's now happening in quick succession: President Trump is tearing down the foundations of the wokeism ideology (= consciousness awakening) with a tsunami of decrees. Wokeism includes: white guilt in the past and present, gender diversity (LGBTQ), multiculturalism and, in the German-speaking world, gendering. The (un)social networks of Silicon Valley have already abolished all self-control. Even the N-word can be used there again.
It is surprising how this raging of Trump's wrecking ball is being accepted without outcry or public resistance. Quite in contrast to the battle noise with which Wokeism had gained its public supremacy.
That's how deeply the shock of Trump's election victory lingers. His opponents are paralyzed - and Trump is taking advantage of this opportunity.
Wokeism had progressive elements, such as Black Lives Matter. However, social achievements such as political correctness become a burden when they degenerate into censorship-like fanaticism, such as cancel culture (= erasure culture of colonial heritage, for example).
Wokeism excesses have killed wokeism. The danger of Trump's radicalism, however, is that the baby will now be thrown out with the bathwater, that the clocks will be turned back to chauvinism, machismo and racism. The first losers will be women.
