I was reading this article by Bari Weiss in the Tablet Mag just now (which I don't agree with all of, but would still recommend), and something popped into my head when I read pic related.

It got me thinking about this question of "What should we formally call this new toxic form of wokeism?" The term I've come up with is postprogressivism, but I'd be curious as to whether the good denizens of /lit/ could come up with anything better.

I think my own term sums up a lot of things about the phenomenon. The postmodern/postcolonial roots, the way it sees itself as a successor to the "unenlightened" progressivism of old, the pessimistic outlook it has on whether things can actually improve, and the dark age I believe it would lead us into if it ever gained enough power. But I have a feeling you guys could come up with something better, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
