“ The way I see it the ‘woke takeover’ is really just movements growing up and learning to regulate some of their sharper edges in exchange for more social acceptance and political power.”
I think there is some truth in movements often “growing up” over time and I agree that in some circumstances people can confuse this with “woke takeover”, but I think it’s important to have a notion of some takeover/entryism as well.
In terms of the difference: to what extent did people in the movement naturally change their views vs. to what extent was it compelled?
I suppose protest can have its place in fixing a system, but at a certain hard-to-identify point, it essentially becomes blackmail.
