If you think Microsoft wont turn their back and get on the ban/censorship train like any other company I believe that would be a mistake. They will have some "woke" employees and journalists grill the executives and then they will cave to mob rule just like the rest.

Is hand-wringing over "woke" bogeymen the next evolution of grousing unironically about "SJWs"?

I think it is, and it's also a useful conversational marker.

As soon as someone starts complaining about "woke" and "SJWs" and "cancel culture" and so on, I know I can just switch off and disengage, as anything they have to say on the topic will be some reactionary bullshit they're parroting at me.

> they will cave to mob rule just like the rest

Would they? Microsoft is still serving ICE, despite all the "grilling".
