Woke Mind Virus

Woke Mind Virus is a slang term and catchphrase popularized by conservative thinkers who often use the expression on X (Twitter), primarily around the early 2020s. The term is typically used by right-wing commentators to convey the idea that " wokeness " or progressive thought is an infectious "virus" that needs to be curbed. Popularization of the term "Woke Mind Virus" is often attributed to X owner Elon Musk . In progressive circles, the phrase "woke mind virus" is often used ironically, with jokes and memes about the concept typically playing on the notion that wokeness is a disease.
