In 2013 I wrote a blog post about how unequal social status in America is, and saying that we needed a way to redistribute respect.

In retrospect, I see elite/institutional wokeness as the movement that arose in answer to that social need.

I think this is one reason that wokeness generates so much more revolutionary passion among young Americans than socialism does. Young Americans would *like* a wealth tax, but they're not willing to get their eyeballs popped by rubber bullets in order to get it.
My biggest complaint about American culture is the general lack of respect. Much of our culture centers around finding reasons to tell each other that we suck. Now, that toxic put-down culture is coming back to bite us in a big way.
I'm tired of living in a country that feels like a giant junior high cafeteria table. I don't know if elite wokeness will fix that, or if it'll just change who has to be the butt of the insults. But something had to change.
