Social accountability (meaning being called out on social media, being fired from a job, or being boycotted)
These are not effective means of achieving social progress because they result in incredible reactionary counter movements. As is evidenced by the success of Trump/Republicans/Fox weaponizing woke as an attack.
The median American hates scolds and prudes (despite, hypocritically, largely being a scold and prude themselves.)
If the goal is to achieve social progress through popular support and democracy, then these tactics of scolding and ostracization are counter productive. Other methods must be used
If the goal is to achieve social progress through more revolutionary means, then Lenin offers a roadmap. But American liberals are still seemingly opposed to that.
In any event, it seems clear given our current political realities that the “woke” tactics of the past decade have been a tremendous counter productive failure that has contributed to our present fascist regime. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences; the consequences of 2010s social justice online scolding is the Trump regime and the collapse of American liberal democracy
The median American seems to disagree with this assertion based on recent election results.
Which could be because they read at a 6th grade level.
But, regardless, scolding and ostracization and negative reinforcement are not effective ways to educate children. They seemingly are also not effective ways to educate adults who possess the intelligence of children
