I feel like "woke mind virus" is kinda the new "drapetomania."
re: LRT, along with drapetomania, “woke mind virus” has a lineage with the concept of fanaticism/enthusiasm, which comes from a history of European rational philosophy imagining radical social activism as a moral disease of the mind
Has anyone posited any kind of correlation between the usage of "woke mind virus" and, say, "drapetomania"?
When ppl say "the woke virus," it reminds me of "drapetomania," during enslavement which meant it was a contagious disease of the nervous system that caused the enslaved to want to run away. In other words, its a disease to say "Stop this injustice& inequity. You're hurting me."
