Hacker News and Reddit seem more woke than places like YouTube, and Rumble. Text is hyper cerebral, and abstracted away from seeing real people… getting away from the heart and feels of real connection that video brings you closer too. Could this focus on the abstract intellectual be why these places often diverge into predominantly woke discourse, versus more human platforms where you can see real people, their faces and bodies, hear their voices and maybe connect more heart to heart?
Idk. Maybe.

"woke" currently is used as an insult for a form of empathy; how much empathy you have will be a function of brain structure and lived experience; a platform's vibe is a function of its userbase [and their underlying politics expressed in their online participation based upon how their brain operates], extrapolate accordingly.
