What is this "academic" smoking in his ivory tower?
Wokeism is dying, just look at Jaguar, but it will still linger on in "academia" and not the real business world.

Woke is a trend. It’s ran it course. As with all trends, it will be back in some form in the future.

It implies that companies face a binary choice: embrace progressive values or pursue profit.Wrong. It means when you taint a product that has nothing to do with ideology with your ideology people get sick of your product and you go broke.

No, Peter, “go woke, go broke” is not merely a zeitgeist cliché; it’s a reaffirmation of ancient and eternal enlightenment: Seek Truth, Truth for its own sake, and forgo delusion.

Inn other news today, liberal experts explained that the sky is really GREEN, and you are a horrible -ist -phobe if you think differently, just because of thousands of years of recorded history and the evidence of your own eyes.

‘going woke’ is favoring one politically identified group over another.
this has the immediate effect of alienating all others.
in business, pissing off whole sections of your market is just boneheaded.
hence the ‘go broke’ conclusion

‘Go woke, go broke’ is no longer true. Howard Stern, 20 million listeners at its peak to a reported 125,000.
He went from hero of the working man to demanding that everyone get Covid shots, whether they trusted them or not.

Always a bad sign when somebody uses the word capitalism to describe businesses.
Shows that their thinking is mired in ideological animus.
