Covid restrictions, love ‘em or hate ‘em, have nothing to do with wokeness.

One would think so. But strangely enough there does seem to be some correlation with "wokeness". It's a topic where the authoritarianism of the woke shines through.

The wiki makes it sound like it is all about race, but

While the term woke initially pertained to issues of racial prejudice and discrimination impacting African Americans, it was appropriated by other activist groups with different causes.

It's "politically correct" on steroids.

Sounds right. "politically correct" with amped up righteousness and shameless, mean-spirited marginalization of the non-woke outgroup.

The use of the term 'on steroids' can be offensive to people who have to take them for medical reasons.
