The way I see it the âwoke takeoverâ 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 donât agree with this part of the comment, but am aware that you may not have the particular context that may be informing Geoffreyâs view (I say may because I donât want to claim to speak for Geoffrey).
These two podcasts, one by Ezra Klein with Michelle Goldberg and one by the NY Times, point to the impact of what is roughly referred to in these podcasts as âidentity politicsâ or âpurity politicsâ (which other people may refer to as âwoke politicsâ). The impact, according to those interviewed, on these movements and nonprofits, has been to significantly diminish their impact on the outside world.
I also think that it would be naĂŻve to claim that these movements were âgrowing upâ considering how long feminism and the civil rights movement have been around. The views expressed in these podcasts also strongly disagree with your claim that they are gaining more political power.
I think these experiences, from those within nonprofits and movements on the left no less, lend support to what Geoffrey is arguing. Especially considering that the EA movement is ultimately about having the most (positive) impact on the outside world.
