The problem with wokeism is that it’s more like a religion than an effective movement for change. Being seen to believe/say the right things is vastly more important than actively helping.

Woke Racism is a really good book about that. Don’t worry it’s written by a black guy who’s been fighting for social justice for decades. The fact I have to say that is one of his points/arguments.

This permeates all online discourse and a good chunk of face-to-face ones, too.

Try this sometime - choose a position (in politics or whatever). Use the terminology and dog whistles of the "other camp", but argue the opposite policy.

The author thinks 'the hard left' think Universities are racist, and they are wrong to think that.

Then he wrote a book called "Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America".

So, they were right after all?
