			The distinction between [[Progressiveness vs woke]] has become a subject of debate in contemporary political and social discourse. While both terms are associated with advocacy for social change, they are often used to describe divergent approaches to addressing systemic inequities, cultural norms, and individual rights. Understanding these differences requires examining their historical roots, ideological underpinnings, and the ways they intersect with broader societal movements.
	Many woke are apparently unaware of the distinction.

			{{H2\|Conceptual Distinctions}}
	Simple question: Should people be treated differently because of their gender or ethnicity. Traditional progressives would say no, the woke would say yes.
			The term "progressiveness" typically refers to a broad political and social movement emphasizing incremental reform, equality, and the expansion of civil liberties. Traditional progressive policies often focus on issues such as economic justice, environmental protection, and the promotion of secular governance. In contrast, the term "woke" has gained prominence in recent years, particularly within discussions about race, gender, and identity. Advocates of "wokeness" often emphasize the need to address historical and systemic inequalities through more immediate and culturally specific interventions, including the critique of dominant power structures and the reevaluation of traditional norms.

			A key point of divergence lies in the approach to addressing differences based on identity. Some critics argue that "woke" ideologies may prioritize identity-based considerations in ways that traditional progressivism does not, though this remains a contested claim. For example, debates often arise about whether policies should focus on universal principles of equality or on addressing disparities rooted in historical and structural inequities.

			{{H2\|Historical Context}}
			The roots of progressivism can be traced to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with movements advocating for labor rights, women's suffrage, and civil liberties. Modern progressivism, as it exists today, often builds on these foundations while adapting to contemporary issues such as climate change and digital rights. The term "woke," which originated in African American communities as a call to stay alert to racial injustice, has evolved into a broader cultural phenomenon. Its modern usage, however, has sparked significant debate about its scope, intent, and implications for public discourse.

			{{H2\|Criticisms and Controversies}}
			Critics of the "woke" movement often argue that it promotes identity politics at the expense of broader social cohesion or that it may lead to the overreach of political correctness. Conversely, some argue that traditional progressivism has historically overlooked the experiences of marginalized groups and that "wokeness" represents a necessary evolution in the pursuit of equity. These debates are further complicated by the ways in which media, academia, and corporate culture have shaped the narratives surrounding both terms.

			{{H2\|Current Debates}}
			The discussion around [[Progressiveness vs woke]] is increasingly influenced by polarized political climates and the rise of digital activism. Proponents of progressivism often emphasize the importance of measurable policy outcomes and institutional reform, while advocates of "wokeness" may prioritize cultural shifts and the amplification of underrepresented voices. These differing priorities can lead to tensions within progressive movements, as well as between progressive and conservative factions.
