Wokeness is a problem, although it's not a very big problem, and it's definitely not as big a problem as Trump, who is an insurrectionist, troll, quasi-fascist, and orange. It's very lucky we elected Biden in a very fair democratic election with savvy help from tech companies.

It's critical at a time like this that we remember nuance and perspective. Most "Woke" people just want the best and have thoughtful, if misguided, ideas that are, on the whole, still on the left and so better than MAGA and conspiracy theories.

One of the best things you can do when being cancelled is to be polite and center consistent liberal principles like charity, nuance, thoughtfulness, and giving away three quarters of your position so other people won't think you're behaving unreasonably and then not like you.

Equity is a concerning trend, I will admit, and there are ways that it might get applied illiberally if the wrong people get power, but that would be illiberal, so it's best to remember and exhaustively list all the ways equity can mean other things that are better and not bad.

Covid-19 is even more contagious than ever, so many are dying, and most people like me have jobs where you don't have to leave the house anyway (and socializing is awkward, let's be honest), so it's best to listen to science and stay home and, if possible, out of the kitchen.

It's very tempting, given they post articles and videos proving it every day, to make the mistake that the Great Reset is a conspiracy to replace the free world with a corporatofascist public-private partnership. Conspiracy theories are all wrong and a dangerous way to think.

In response to Wokeness, which is beginning to create some small problems in marginal sectors of society, what we need now is more principled leftism, especially led by professors, who have studied academic ideas longest and know them best and in the most charitable, relevant way

Could you imagine how awful it would be if Steven Pinker criticized you for straying too far outside the officially painted lines?

Memes are, in my opinion, a rather low form of communication that muddy the water more than they clarify it. A far better form of communication is the think piece, where all of one's arguments can be unpacked and there's room to agree with things you actually disagree with.
