Woke culture sure is some paradox

That it's so obsessed with tolerance and empathy yet often completely merciless and judgmental is just baffling to me.

No, the problem is we weren't merciless and judgmental enough. Fascism is on the rise now because for too long, we treated the Right like they were simply good people we disagreed with. We were also way too soft on Democrats who enabled the Republicans. That's why Dark Woke is a thing now.

Agreed. It's hard to stay level-headed when everything is so binary. I don't think that way.

@Ducky No. But it's here to stay, along with ad hominem attacks and emotionally-charged responses. When did we become so infantile? There's a psychologist who theorized that much of this is steeped in narcissism, which makes sense.

@uncalled4 I’m confident it’ll implode on itself eventually. The rest of us might be stuck with cleaning up the regressive mess left behind, but it won’t last. I think we’re already starting to see it collapsing.

Woke means being aware of and caring about the struggles of disadvantaged groups. Not sure how being merciless or judgmental fits into that.
