Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it’s not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

you know woke as a term and signifier predates the industrial revolution, right? the sentiment shared in the post doesn’t have anything to do with social media. being indifferent to woke, anti-woke sentiments is ultimately anti-woke and reflects poorly on the holder of that stance
According to wikipedia it was already a known term in the 1860’s. But that’s a hundred years after the industrial revolution started. Still a damn long time though.
i guess i was mainly thinking of the second industrial revolution which was much more active in the region “woke” originated from than the first industrial revolution, so that’s on me
