If there are specific complaints about a policy, we can consider those directly. No need to apply a reductive label. The top comment was quite specific.

All policies represent agendas and have implications for groups within society, including policies implemented in the past that we live under today. To different perspectives, any given policy will have different upsides and downsides. Moving forward is about finding balance, consensus, or compromise among these perspectives.

Applying a simple label like “woke” is an invitation to ignore this complexity in favor of binary (“is this woke or not”) or linear (“how woke is this”) modes of thought. It’s also an invitation to prejudge the merit based on a sense of whether an idea comes from inside or outside the tribe.

It’s like trying to troubleshoot a space station by focusing on whether solutions seem “cool” or not.
