Enter Susan Neiman, an American philosopher who directs the Einstein Forum in Berlin and has authored numerous acclaimed volumes.
While Neiman is a serious scholar, her latest book, Left Is Not Woke, is a cringe-inducing screed against a group she terms “the woke”—without ever telling us whom, exactly, she is talking about. In a series of essays that often border on parody, Neiman argues that “woke” progressives have abandoned core values of the traditional Left in favor of a mélange of pessimistic relativism that reduces everyone to their identity.

I agree with Neiman. Most leftists/liberals are not interested in the woke stuff. Not against it, just not engaged with it.
