It is no secret that we are in the midst of a cultural revolution. Activists in the 'woke' movement have claimed to be on the right side of history, and yet their approach has been intolerant, intemperate and, above all, illiberal.

But is this truly the end of woke? Or have the culture wars merely evolved?

But out west, show business beckoned.
