Why did wokeness ultumately win?

10+ years before wokeness we had SJWs. It was attacked and deconstructed with 10x the force that wokeness was. So why is it still around and why is it so dominant in the culture?

If you deny this then look to other countries and their curtailing of free-speech enacted into law. Look at how HR has terrorized the workplace.

The left took over the public education system so that they could indoctrinate the young and impressionable children. Most working class families can’t afford for one parent to stay home and educate the kids themselves. It’s also illegal to keep kids out of skool. So they essentially made radical leftist indoctrination almost unavoidable. At the same time, the leftists weaponized the law to persecute centrists and conservatives. Anyone who is vocal about their support of the second amendment is hunted and targeted like a criminal. Meanwhile democrat law makers and enforcement agencies are literally letting violent criminals with multiple convictions run amuck and victimize people with impunity. I guarantee that the next time a democrat holds the presidency, the US will start jailing people for mean tweets, just like the UK has been doing.
Unless and until Big Tech is castrated and the radical left is forcefully and permanently evicted from every position of authority, “wokeness” will always be a factor in sociopolitical dynamics.

It was taken by politicians and the media and enforced. We now see it in education.
It's everywhere.

It didn't win. People have largely rejected it because its crazy.

Everyone hates it yes, yet it is still ubiquitous in the culture which is what confuses me

[Just_Ken]

They are trying to push it into everything but folks are largely rejecting it because its mental. Like is mathematics racist? Is politeness white supremacy? All these woke movies and tv shows failing because people have not intrest in them.
Even the most liberal people are rejecting it all.

Nope. Media and internet aren’t real life.

Workplace and law are though
