Excellent editorial in the Wall Street Journal that speaks to your question. Essentially, Mr. Sternberg makes the comparison between today’s social outrage and hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic when inflation meant one had to use a wheelbarrow to carry enough money to buy a loaf of bread. Sternberg points out that today’s ‘woke ones’ have to continually escalate their outrage to prove their ‘wokeness’, they have reached the point even the smallest of outrages can be the focus and where all outrage is insufficient.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn —
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
Til Gabriel blows his horn.

They won’t change the names of all the buildings on campus to suit his particular tastes in order for him to grace the University of Texas with his presence on the field.
