A short primer on Repressive Tolerance, in case you don't have time to read it in full. Still a lot, but a lot more accessible than the original, and including examples.

Why the left can be violent and hypocrites and you cannot

Herbert Marcuse's "repressive tolerance" (1965)

OnlySubs: A Spanish Vaccine for Woke Bullying

JANUARY 13, 2021 JAMES LINDSAY

She had none of it and, in a completely ahistorical and chauvinistic rant, informed the Wokie of the full pride and glory of Spain’s history and how its colonization projects brought culture and improvement everywhere they went. This went on at some length and was quite heated, and the Wokie had nothing much to say, despite small attempts to argue back.

That’s interesting, and after having read Shelby Steele’s White Guilt, it makes a lot of sense: he couldn’t use his Woke critique to diminish the Spaniard’s pride in herself or her country, that is, her moral authority remained untouched. To understand Steele, though, is to realize that bullying over someone’s moral authority is how the entire (Woke) Critical Theory manipulation works. Thus, while I’m not sure what to do with it, as I wouldn’t recommend chauvinism of anyone, the ingredients for a Woke vaccine exist somewhere in here. 

Chauvinism:

aggressively and blindly devoted to a certain system of beliefs, especially patriotism or nationalism:

The study of historical colonialism reveals a chauvinistic attitude toward other cultures and an implicit assumption that the West was the standard of civilized life for the rest of the world.

Psychopathy and the Origins of Totalitarianism DECEMBER 25, 2020 ·JAMES LINDSAY

Pseudo-realities are always social fictions, which, in light of the above, means political fictions.  ... This also means that they require power, coercion, manipulation, and eventually force to keep them in place. Thus, they are the natural playground of psychopaths, and they are enabled by cowards and rationalizers. Most importantly, pseudo-realities do not attempt to describe reality as it is but rather as it “should be,” as determined by the relatively small fraction of the population who cannot bear living in reality unless it is bent to enable their own psychopathologies, which will be projected upon their enemies, which means all normal people.

Seems like to fight illogical wokeism, you need illogical chauvinism? Interesting.
