It is not only when they espouse and preach intolerance but when they also cease to be amenable to reason and rational debate, forbid their followers from listening to reason and rational debate, cannot be held in check by public opinion, and encourage their followers to respond to arguments with “fists or pistols,” i.e., violence of some form or another. I contend that the Woke, uniquely, have crossed this line in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast. They are absolutely intolerant, will not debate or listen to alternative perspectives, and, unlike all other hate movements that fail those two criteria, have grown to be completely unchecked and uncheckable by public opinion.

This is by design.

"Woke" advocacy is nothing more than a tool of demolition which works best when the groups in question buy into the ruse that they are being sincerely protected and not being used as political weapons, which they are.

They are pawns- just like the Title IX women who found themselves to be subordinate to the trans cause, LGBT, whose protected status relies only the aggressor class being conservative Christian mostly male and not Islam... and the ever present PoC whose privileged status is on the condition that they obediently remain victims as instructed and do not dabble in the empowering ideology of conservatism.

Radical leftism is not in search of any solutions that mend differences. It's all about magnifying, exaggerating, and exploiting the differences to effect a permanent transformation that is in nobody's interest but the radicals themselves.

Those opposing the "woke" overwhelmingly make the fundamental mistake of seeing them as the crucial issue of their time. In their tunnel vision on these picturesque and entertaining nutcases they completely overlook the root cause of the rise of the woke: the extreme cowardice of white men today who kowtow to every bullshit just to avoid some minor risks and inconveniences like being called names on social media.

Yes, white men are to blame. That's pretty woke.

Tolerance is a bold lie. It has nothing to do with putting up with what you disagree with. Tolerance simply means that no one is allowed to behave as though they think their position is true.

Good post.
