    Has anyone written about the "woke treadmill" where people on the left come up with terms, then they are adopted by radlibs, then they are used cynically by right wingers/libs? It feels like its happened to several terms now

      It exists for literally everything. Lenin wrote about how people who literally called themselves Marxists were liberals or something like that. If the left-wing gains enough momentum in this country, liberals will start calling themselves Marxist-Leninists 😂
