Part of my peaking and retreat from wokeness has been leaving behind a whole mode of infantile behaviour and thinking. The “zero tolerance of disagreement” mentality. The “labels as identity” mentality.
The mentality that “identity is valid” but material reality is not.
The mentality that “identity is valid” but material reality is not.
The “everything is an attack” mentality. The “unfollow me if you follow this person” mentality. The “all or nothing” mentality. The “I can talk to you like you’re nothing” mentality.
The constant, constant aggression.
The constant, constant aggression.
The acceptance of mantra as fact. The rejection of reality in favour of feelings. The Oppression Olympics. Cultural relativism gone mad.
The commodification of suffering as labels that add—or subtract—to your humanity.
The hypocrisy and inconsistency of it all.

My new paradigm is this. Disagreement isn’t a personal attack. Feelings don’t mean you’re right. “Validation” is only for parking tickets. Consistency is vital, as is recognising reality. And listening to women is my priority.
