    Excluding the obviously evil things people are using against “wokism,” every time I hear someone bitching about something being “woke” these days I can’t help but picture a racist boomer that’s scared of change, except now it’s the next generation taking the initiative. Just like violence in video games in the 90s, Rock N’ Roll in the 80s, the devils lettuce in the 70s, and hippies in the 60s. All the way back to when parents were saying their kids were reading too many books or listening to too much radio back in the 1800s and early 1900s. It’s literally always the older generations that are upset that things are changing and not staying exactly as they were when they were young. And this only reinforces the notion that we need more younger people making decisions and not just the same old white dude that started the company back I’m the 90s.
