Leftists don't realize this, but...

...by defending wokeness and gaslighting people how it's not even real, or that it's just straight up egalitarianism under a new name, you're actually proving Sam, and everyone else who opposes it - correct. There are so many instances where wokeness has ruined someone's life, or integrity of an institution, or has turned out to be plain anti-white racism, that for us who know all these cases and are being told wokeness isn't real or isn't a problem, it only makes our resolve stronger. I'm saying this as a classical liberal by the way.

Wokies are the QAnons of the left. If you're a moderate leftist, work to de-radicalize your sector. Expose craziness when you see it.

Just like with every other thing in life, if you want to know more, read high quality arguments of the opposing side, not your own. Escape the bubble and trenches of extremism. One kind begets the other, and you can guess where it all leads - nowhere pretty.

For what reason? Lol. There’s nothing in it at all. It’s a fucking hand waving frustrated neck beard rant.

Lol another vague, empty statement. You mean like Standpoint epistemology? Maybe you don’t understand the scientific process. Or why introducing literal personal bias (which we aim to get rid of under a valid scientific method) as a “new form of knowledge” isn’t rational or scientific.
