After wretched woke fads die out, do people who had their lives ruined for disagreeing with them get their reputations restored?

Usually not. Best case is that someone with a deep pocket slandered the person so badly that the victim gets a payday.

Remember, woke types aren’t woke because they believe in truth above all else. They are woke because they see it as a way to gain power, status etc.

They don’t punish their victims because they think they are “wrong”. They punish them because they believe they were being disobedient by challenging the prevailing wisdom.

So... these people DO value obedience?

I thought woke was about radical moral autonomy. No obedience to parents, superiors or God. Absolutely none to common decency or anything except your base sexual desires.

Of they course they value obedience. If you pay attention, you'll see that the left is startlingly authoritarian in its various mandates and ideologies. It's not the control that they have issues with, but more that the control doesn't rest entirely and exclusively (and in perpetuity) with them.

The same people who screamed themselves mute over the "fascists" who vote Republican not only eagerly obeyed every single Covid command the government issued, without question or hesitation, but moved to bully anyone who wouldn't obey.
