More institutions would be ideologically captured by "wokeness", joining the many public corporations, media, non-profits, academia, professional academic associations and etc who have already done so.

People on the right will continue to use "woke" as a boogeyman, and people on the left would leverage on that to deny its existence and write their genuine critics off as "right-wingers".

The woke will continue to push for the false equivalence between "social justice" and "critical social justice", and the left would have their charitableness exploited through the woke's linguistic bait and switch, and their use of minorities and the afflicted as props. This exploitation enables the ideology to propagate further, giving power to a new 1984-esque authoritarian group, making lunacy the new normal.

Liberal outsiders like me who are looking at this incredibly stupid (and corrosive) phenomenon are left completely astounded as to why such idiocy is allowed to persist. We're left wondering, for myself at least, a citizen in a highly westernized Asian country, as to when such lunacy would hit our shores (it's actually here in our academia already).

Life is going to be so much worse after, and my sensibilities would be thoroughly violated on a daily basis. South park is a funny watch, but we really don't need an iteration of it in live action.
