Its the main issue with wokeism; it has no concrete beliefs or values of its own that its follows can critically apply to a given idea.

All they can do is see an idea phrased using the language of identity and the hierarchy of oppression, and automatically agree with it; they aren't actually analysing whether its consistent with their claimed values.

There's absolutely zero internal logical consistency. I see it time and time again. It's the hallmark of a belief system that's completely out of step with reality.

I have seen a lot of US writers lately speculate that Wokism is the replacement for religion among some youth.

Poster SanityIsGC has coined the "Church of Transology" which is both hilarious and fitting.

That is a good name for it. The parallels with religion are legion.
