The woke ideology of coerced political correctness is a cancer that has destroyed much, and will likely destroy much more, until it can be reformed into a more balanced approach. It's a form of extremism not much unlike right wing extremism. While I'm sad for National Geographic's accelerated decadence, it's the price for, unfortunately, "going woke".

Reminds me of Scientific American...

Trying really hard to not be mean/offensive really is the same thing as putting people in camps for criticizing those in power.

There’s a huge difference between not being mean and actively pushing a view point (be it cultural, emotional or political).

There's nothing inherently wrong with "pushing a view point." Any form of communication qualifies as pushing a view point. Criticizing people for "pushing a view point" is basically criticizing them for speaking at all.

There is a difference between pushing and sharing or discussing.
