He's correct when he talks about "new moral order."
The woke are the Anointed, as Sowell calls them; moral crusaders utterly convinced they are the moral crusaders of the day, with all the fanatic fervor that brings. That makes any opposition to their crusade evil by definition.
There is no reasoning with people like this, no "leave me alone" strong enough to stand them off. There is "no going to far," no "stooping to their level," you either destroy them utterly, or they win by outlasting you. To date they have outlasted everyone over the last 120 years, and have taken over everything.
If you have seen the opening scene of 3 Body Problem, the struggle session scene, that will come here. It always does, it is a defining characteristic of the creed.
Also why the "centrist 'liberals'" are powerless to stop them. the only difference between the two is the latter doesn't see themselves as having as much a "divine right to rule" (notable exceptions like enforcing de-segregation at gunpoint aside). But they ultimately want the same things.
So when the "centrist" tells them "hey shouldn't we debate this before it gets imposed on everyone?" the answer is one of genuine bafflement. "Why shouldn't we? 'We might be wrong'? What kind of answer is that? Do you really believe that? What is gained by 'debating' something so obviously correct?"
