Woke 2.0 is even worse

And honestly, looking back is revealing. What started as a collection of different ideas and internet communities eventually evolved into something far more extreme, tribal, and obsessed with political identity. We go through the evolution of online feminism, Tumblr culture, socialism, progressive activism, and the broader culture-war ecosystem while looking at how many of these movements changed over the years. The funny part is that some of the things that seemed completely normal or even fringe twelve years ago have become dramatically more extreme today. What happened? How did internet feminism evolve into endless arguments about identity and language? How did Tumblr culture become such a massive influence on online politics? Why did socialism become increasingly popular among young people who had never experienced the economic systems they were advocating for? And perhaps most importantly, why did so much of modern activism become focused on finding enemies instead of actually solving problems? One of the most interesting aspects of Shoe on Head revisiting her old content is seeing how much the internet has changed. The arguments, terminology, political movements, and social-media culture of the early 2010s can sometimes feel almost unrecognizable compared with today's online political environment. And while some of the original concerns raised by these movements may have been legitimate, the solutions and rhetoric surrounding them often became increasingly detached from reality. Instead of encouraging people to think critically, parts of the movement increasingly encouraged ideological conformity. Instead of debating ideas, people were encouraged to identify political enemies. Instead of persuasion, social pressure became the weapon. And instead of admitting when an idea failed, the goal often became finding someone else to blame. That's one of the biggest problems with ideological movements in general: once someone's political identity becomes part of their personality, admitting that they were wrong can feel like admitting that they are wrong. This video is particularly interesting because we're getting a time capsule from someone who was actually there. Rather than looking at the early 2010s through today's political lens, we can watch the old arguments and see how they developed in real time. In this video, I react to Shoe on Head's retrospective, discuss the evolution of the online progressive movement, and examine why so much of what began as supposedly compassionate activism eventually became one of the most exhausting parts of modern internet culture. Because if you want to understand where the culture war is today... ...sometimes you need to go back and see where it started.
