I disagree, I think "wokeness" was a dominant register in most communities, even approximations of it. Otherwise the reaction to it wouldn't have been so strong. Certain memes and forms were also dominant in a way I think counts. It is different for sure, but I think the fragmentation is vastly ,vastly overstated and a product of people expecting watercooler talk about celebrities and sitcoms.

I think "wokeness" (I prefer Omnicause, it has less baggage) is proof that a dominant culture can exist (as well as rise up, and perhaps [hopefully!] fall), but it's certainly not evidence of a monoculture due to the existence of the now-emerging counterculture of a resurgent Right.
Example of why wokeness is dominant: I was unable to open a new bank account in the United States because I only wanted to interact with a male banker. It just wasnтАЩt possible.

That sounds like anti-discrimination, not wokeness.
Yeah Jon, I agree with Bennett on this one
