Self-identification is really the crux of this and why this whole thing is a religion. Their interpretation of the Self is that it is an immaterial soul-like entity that is thrown into the universe. The idea that the material world impacts the Self in any way is verboten and anyone who says it does or should is their enemy. Facing any of the constraints of a body at all is seen as an unjust cruelty of nature to be corrected by technology. This is why they use language like "black and brown bodies" as well.
If I had to pick between a caricature of religious zealots that want someone thrown in jail for wearing a skirt that’s too short, or the average Wokey, I’d rather the world be run by crazed religious fundamentalists. At least with them the values they’re trying to hold to have a measure of objective value and productive worth. There is no benefit to anything woke. They’re mostly creating and encouraging derangement and mental illness. The caricature of one is trying to discourage openly gay people and things like that, but the reality of the other is an actual war on white people and straight white men and calling for them to die in public.
The religious stereotype is trying to control language by not having you say God is gay or to overuse curse words. There’s an objective standard there. The Wokey stereotype is trying to police every thought you’ve ever had and making up new rules of language that don’t even work. Christian zealots still tried saying we’re all equal under God, with Wokies saying we’re all inherently unequal and need to be separated and treated according to skin color and that if you’re Christian you’re insane.
I can’t think of anything about what the left is afraid of that isn’t actually better than what they’re doing openly every day. Every conversation with them is like a big con job where you enter into mental gymnastics to appreciate their non existent point. At least with something like Christianity, you see people saying “our people have held for thousands of years that it’s a bad idea to do X and Y, so we don’t want people to do X and Y.”
Christianity seems to work a lot better than what was come up with to replace it. Postmodernism is defined exclusively by being nonsense.
