The Fall of Woke Culture - How a good idea turns ugly

We know that the "Woke Culture" in the United States began as a progressive movement, supporting gender diversity, opposing racial discrimination, and advocating for equality and inclusion. Initially, not many people opposed it. 我們知道在美國的"覺醒文化"，一開始是一場進步運動，他支持性別多元、反對種族歧視、提倡平權與包容，本來並沒有太多人反對。 Later, things gradually went off course. 後來這事情慢慢變調了。 When these ideals started being used as a standard for judging morality, forcing people to take a stand, and even leading to cancellations, ostracism, or losing a job over a single misspoken word, facing spontaneous outpouring of criticism, insults on social media, or having one’s public image tarnished, businesses and schools became afraid to speak the truth. Over time, even those who originally supported these ideals began to feel exhausted. By 2024, woke culture had become a target of widespread criticism in American society, fueling the rise of the right wing. 當這些理念開始漸漸地被社會當作評判道德的標準，開始強迫人表態，甚至動輒封殺你，杯葛你，甚至可能講錯一句話就可能丟工作，遭到社群的圍剿，形象崩塌。企業學校為此不敢說真話。時間一長，原本支持這些理念的人快開始覺得累了。在2024年覺醒文化被徹底的淪為美國社會的眾矢之的，讓美國的右派崛起。 This phenomenon, where a consensus turns into coerced pressure, gradually becomes a form of political correctness, leading to public resentment. Excessive correctness ends up creating more enemies for itself. 這種從原本的共識變成被迫的壓力的現象，當它逐漸變成一種政治正確，導致民眾產生反感過度的正確反而給自己制造出更多的敵人。
