It’s pretty much been replaced by “woke”, which was also began as self-descriptor and turned into an out-group pejorative.

What do they call themselves now?

Actually "woke" originally referred to people who knew 9/11 was a scam, after ZZZtheyZZZ had corrupted the "truther" term in various ways. After 2013, give or take, the "woke" term also became used to describe SJWs prevalently as 9/11 faded from most discussions. Now there's no good terms left for 9/11 Skeptics and the woke SJWs are burning the world, now terribly corrupting and smearing another previously good term: "progressivism".

Fascinating. I thought it referred to having awoken from a "false consciousness" and being able to see the hidden machinations of intersectional power structures. That's too bad that the term was co-opted.

You were correct. We used "woke" to mean become aware of the 9/11 lies and beyond with their full spectrum dominance - the hidden machinations. We'd all share stories of how we got woke to 9/11.

I was very pissed it was getting coopted - but now I've come around to appreciate that now being woke is a joke. And of course more people are aware than ever before.

The previous term was Political Correctness.
