Anti‑Woke’s Symbiotic Dependence

Anti‑woke movements systematically rely on prior Awokenings to generate the controversies that give them traction; their public strategy is not simply opposition but orchestration of sustained contestation that converts moderation into perpetual political capital. The tactic produces a self‑sustaining loop where each corrective moderation is weaponized by opponents into renewed grievance and mobilization. — If true, it explains why symbolic institutional moderation often fails to end culture wars and suggests reformers must change incentive structures, not only rhetoric, to break cycle.
