Previously: Preamble Chapter 1 - The Why (Chapter 1 digressions) Chapter 2 - Numbers Go Up Chapter 3A - The Hardness Spectrum (Chapter 3 digressions) [audio available here, courtesy of AskWho] Chapter 3 - TYPES OF CULTURES (continued) The last type of culture discussed is super-relevant to the issues of the day, so it gets the rest of this chapter (and a lot of mentions in the rest of the book). It is Wokeism. The Collinses refer to it as the supervirus, but we all know what it is and we don’t need another new term.
Can someone point me to a working definition/analysis of "Wokeism" as used in the rationalist/rationalist-adjacent memeplex? I've mostly encountered the term as a conservative/reactionary screed against anything at all and the closest to a definition I've come across is the one given by lawyers defending a Republican politician in court, which was something along the lines of "raising awareness to systemic causes for discrimination" or some such.
I was entirely unaware of Cafe Rio (they don't have a presence in the north east). Curious how they are blue tribe coded. The only thing I could find in my admittedly cursory search was this ad campaign, which is maybe poking fun at a red coded fear of change, but that my be just reading too much into it: https://www.waypointfilms.com/dir-cafe-rio

You can tell if you go into one tbh. It's not like Chick-Fil-A advertises as Red either
