Not an English speaker so I might be missing the point entirely depending on how well I understood your post.

"Wokeness", to me, defines the infinite need to have an idealised, anesthesised social climate. Where no one hurts, no words hurt, and we are all cute rabbits and teddy bears getting along.

Since this is impossible, because life is the way life is, the only way to achieve this kind of social climate is with, no surprise, extreme authoritarism. Using guilt as primary weapon. Shaming as second. Punishment as third.

Wokeness is giving up on laws of nature. Nature is unfair, unequal, random, chaotic. Wokeness feels superior to nature, it's the idea that we are bigger than our real, natural limitations. No, we cannot care about every single injustice in this world. No, we cannot help but feel wary about people who look unfamiliar. Yes, we tend to trust good-looking people more. Yes, we have prejudices, expectations, snap-judgements. Wokeness has declared war on our natural limitations. The brain does this for 1/ survival, and 2/ efficiency. But we can simultaneously accept it and not become a slave to it. We can live with it while not letting it rule us. Going on borderline religious crusades to remove all of our judging functions is... Well, pick your word. Stupid, irresponsible, illogical, disrespectful, insulting, hubris, unrealistic, etc. I'd pick hubris. The sheer arrogance of these people. They'd do well to remember we're just animals on a planet inside a universe. We aren't gods. We don't control everything. (like people's sex, lol. As if we could ever do this. The arrogance.) I've noticed they tend to have this in common. They just refuse to accept humility as humans. They want to control their body, their mind, their environment, and other's bodies, and minds, and—...

Yeah, wokeness is all about humans as all-powerful beings who are above laws of the universe lol.

It's about absolute control.

They take an emphasis on social construction, often to the extreme. It is only in this fashion that they can supposedly master the universe. Material reality must be ignored, because how could you usher in your halcyon future if there are immutable things in your way?
