I live in the post communist part of the EU and I'm very happy that wokeness and the culture war haven't arrived here yet. Everybody here still follows good faithed common sense, which is a refreshing change from the UK and Germany (both of which I have spent time in), where it is a topic of conversation. Yet not at the cost of LGBT rights, which are legally in step with the West.
Genuine question which I promise I am asking in good faith: what do you think "wokeness" is?
Oh sure! In the UK it was stuff like the use (and expectation) of pronouns. Or institutions taking steps to be 'LGBT-friendly' and making sure they tell you about it. Sometimes it felt almost forced and I just got tired of it as a topic.
I too want these people to feel comfortable, but as long as the legislation is there and people try to be friendly (just like they would be to anyone else), the rest just feels like an overreaction to me.
Im living in post communist part too... or not so post communist it seem lately. The culture war is here, the old commies call themselves right wing nationalist christians, and rebuilding the commie system, saying everybody who is not with them is enemy, commie, and liberal homosexual, pedophile...
Fascism (hopefully).

Interesting, what country do you live in?
The craze for self-driving cars, especially if the current machine trend is anything to go by. Two issues with it I can't help but understand is that driving needs a human factor and that if the freedom of being in the driver seat wasn't an issue, we'd be significantly closer to desiring a system of long distance personal rails instead of cars. I'm all for metasystemic road reform.
