While a neat story, I would like more discussion about the actual subject. I feel so much debate around SJWs kinda orbits this instead of addressing its core.

Greetings!
My apologies, my friend. I just saw some connections between the peddling of "Critical Race Theory" being supported by so many *false episodes* of supposed current-day racism and "Hate Speech".

A point id like to discuss is when did critical theory really take off? My estimate is post WWI when that event caused a crisis of faith within the western world about itself.

Critical theory is derived from both the Frankfort school and postmodernism, which can be traced in turn to Marxism and earlier philosophers like Hegel. That isn't particularly clustered around the 1920s, and it's modern incarnation appeared very specifically in the 1970s and 1980s, at Harvard.

I don't think the spread and influence of critical theory we see is at all coincidental, but rather is intentionally pushed along by elites who seeded it as a convenient justification for diverting attention from their own ambitious (and evil) goals.
Word-usage analysis in propaganda media (NYT, WaPo, Time, etc) shows the Woke language trend in media occurred pretty suddenly during the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis (& 2011's OWS movement). Someone activated key agents to begin disseminating propaganda.

I don't think so. While some people think they can use it, too many up-toppers have been shot by the force once it gains control.
