When did you start to notice "Wokeness"

For me it was Evergreen College. (I hope I'm getting that right). I remember watching the videos and thinking "Man they are in for a major wake up call", but then that didn't happen. Instead the faculty just caved and acquiesced to absolute imbeciles.

I remember thinking "What the hell are the faculty doing?!" They need to expel these morons!

Then I saw this Jordan Peterson video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM7jpTJWPkg (can't find the original, but this is the video) And thought "wow, a voice of reason!" but instead he was attacked.

I was asleep a long time, I just didn't care about politics. I was entirely unaware of the lying media.

Politics to me was "boring and irrelevant". Every politician that came to power never really affected me. I'd see cries of "The economy is doing horrible" and I did not see any difference whatsoever. The economy is doing great vs the economy is doing horrible looked identical to me.

The first time a politician actually had an affect on my life was Obama, with "Obama Care". Suddenly my insurance shot up in price and absolutely sucked. I'm off on a tangent and this is before I noticed "Wokeness", but I have seen it infect everything now. My job, my kid's school, the job's of everyone I know, and the nation as a whole.

When did you start to notice it?

Pre-woke phase. Princess Diana. Her ex-husband. Not so much the causes they supported as the opportunities for photo ops.

Noticed a distinct anti-Republican bias in movies and literature decades ago (even early Stephen King, long before he went completely off the rails); remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers in 1978.

Dick Van Dyke's show Diagnosis Murder has some wokiness to some of its scripts. (1990's)

I noticed in 2008 voters tripping over their feet to get to the polls to vote for Obama to prove they weren't racist.

Conversation around 2014 with my late sister, who hated the oil companies and aspired to own a Tesla, when I mentioned the lithium mining to make EV batteries and the devastating impact on the environment, it went completely over her head.
