>> I have never in my life seen so much hostility generated by good intentions as we are seeing now during this woke revolution.

The "woke" don't actually have good intentions. There are several motivations, but good intent just seems to be an excuse for the hostility you mention.

The vast majority of people you would write off as ""woke"" do have good intentions. There's just a very loud minority just as there are in any political movement.

I actually can see where the person you are replying to is coming from. That loud minority can be viewed as leadership, and they seem to fall into three categories- grifters, bullies, and burn the world types

That's a strong statement about a whole lot of people.

Maybe you should limit that to "The 'woke' people I know."
