Yes . And, there has been a good few “Readers discourse reevaluations” of some of the more modern writers getting a good thorough going over by the young ladies.

Yes I saw this earlier in the week; but my punk knowledge is inadequate to evaluate it.
Essentially punk is the social science agitating the individual against (or more importantly knowledge of one’s place and importance in and within) the state.
A recurring theme throughout the history of philosophy - the oldest of social sciences, perhaps.
It would be great if a punked up young lady started agitating…

Thanks for the enlightenment. Is there room for progressive radicalism in this definition? I have been educated by Matthew Syed this week on the matter of Woke.

It does seem odd that the term “woke” is now considered derogatory. Whereas the ideology behind it is entirely positive enabling some folk to engage with things for their own good and for the “others”.
In my day the ideology was known as “cultural and historical awareness” with the key words “disenfranchised” and “hegemony” thrown in for good measure.
I blame it on the cold blooded lizard overlords.
