I find it hilarious that I'm supposed to be terrified of right wing protests due to Covid, but supposed to cheer on BLM protests occurring during the very same pandemic. It seems like with a highly infectious disease with a >.3% fatality rate, you can just choose when to propagate fear and panic, and when to minimize it out of political convenience. I guess I reached "peak woke" way before "woke" even was popularized as a term. Back in 2011 the atheist/skeptic community got completely fractured due to intersectional feminism trying to take over through "Atheism+" and scandals like elevator gate opened my eyes to the absurd demands and accusations of SJWs (also before that term became popular) made towards average people behaving normally. I also noticed this new philosophy creeping into my hobbies like metal music, gaming, sports/fitness, and the shows that I enjoyed in the years leading up to the 2016 election. Eventually everything just reached a fever pitch where I couldn't use my escapist hobbies to escape from politics, so I now oppose this bs everywhere it pops up in my life. I kinda wish I was able to ignore this stuff until more recently, but unfortunately I'm almost at a full decade of exposure to this bs.

Are you me?
No but seriously, this new woke bullshit feels like a religion. Part of me wonders if christianity wasn't serving as an inoculation against this new religion. Maybe most people can never actually be rational and need something to fill that nonsense hole?
