When they subordinate individual responsibility and agency to an inconsequentiality caused only by the intersection of the infinity of groups to which we all belong, this is what remains.

The fundamental question is as old as humanity itself: what is the meaning of our individual actions in this world? Not our actions as black, white, gay, straight, trans, cis, male, female, etc. What is the meaning of my actions today?

At least traditional religions respect a personal relationship with God, wherein there is a realm untouched by social pressures and co-equal with those pressures. The modern woke is working to obliterate respect for individuals entirely.

We need to help everyone around us develop self-respect, most especially those we think are our "enemies". Self-respect is the only way out of the trap that is being laid for us.
