This is why I (admittedly a right-leaning gay man) have been railing against so-called "wokeness", "social justice", and namely, intersectionality, since the start of the Trump era.

It's not because I'm against working toward a socially-just society (duh), but rather because these ideologies obviously cannibalize everyone involved, and entire civilizations if given the chance. Seriously, we need solutions based in evidence, as well as personal responsibility, not dogmatic proclamations about whoever having the most victimhood being right.

Imagine saying "yeah I raped her, but only because I'm Black, so really it's her fault for oppressing me" - the exact type of bullshit statement intersectionality logically concludes at in this scenario. And don't even get me started on the abomination of "restorative justice", particularly in these situations.

Fuck being 'woke', try being AWAKE.
