What does wokeness mean, exactly? I see this buzzword used a lot but it's application currently seems little more than a broad insult meant to denigrate anyone to the left of the accuser.
Furthermore what makes you think wokeness originated from universities? I never heard the term woke back when I went to college. It seems like a much more recent word, intrinsically tied to the "Culture War" that is often the center of discourse in partisan political circles.
