Many on the Right are so hell bent to “fight like the Left” that they’ve adopted the Left’s way of thinking. Some have termed them the “Woke Right”; others object to that term because they don’t share the same utopian endpoint. But substantively, are they more similar than they may seem superficially? Logan Lancing certainly argues as such.
I’ve seen various content claiming that “Woke Right” is a stupid name because “Woke” just means “awakened to and forwarding critiques of social power."
Woke is much more than that. I can't tell if they still don't know that, or they're aware…
Let's define "Woke" again.

“Critical Constructivism” is the technical term for Woke. “Critical” for the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt school and offshoots (there’s a million “critical theories” now, Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory being the ones people are most familiar with).

To quote Woke educator Joe Kincheloe, "Critical constructivism is grounded on the Frankfurt School's formulation of critical theory."
So why Critical Theory?
