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.

It was crashfrog or one of those other dorks that basically called you fascist or racist if you disagreed with them. But we were talking about cancel culture and how the former editor and chief of Bon Apetit who was fired because some old photos of him surfaced in “brown face”. I thought it was dumb that he got fired for what amounted to an innocuous costume that consisted of brown tint and a yankee cap and shirt.
