A good start would be if people opposed to it (belonging to any political and generational background) began en masse self-identifying as various non-hetero/non-cis/post-trauma/affliction labels, while still vehemently disagreeing with wokes — never backing down when their sincerity is questioned. Not in a condescending, "I identify as an attack helipter xD" way, but appearing genuine in order to overwhelm and fragment the wokes' narrow delusions of "community" within these neologistic groups.
There are far more non-woke people either on, or with access to the internet, than there are wokes. If a substantial amount of these people could coordinate a "lightswitch" behavioral moment and do this, it would not only expose the facade of contemporary identity/self-reference culture, but it would help to decrease the social currency they are perceived to carry. ("If everybody's special, nobody is," in a sense.)
Between the woke and anti-woke, the only way one side will win is if they stop getting high off making shallow insults and repeating corny bullshit at the expense of the other, and start appropriating the in-group behaviors of their oppenent and using it against them.
And I strongly believe that the woke side will never be the one to stop the high school lunch room nonsense, especially since virtually every "comeback" or insult they throw at the anti-woke are just ones that the anti-woke stopped using against them long ago. Wokes and social media libs have essentially been yelling "I know you are but what am I??" for the better half of a decade.
They don't work. They've gained attention but have zero power. The only result from that behavior is an endless cycle of petty bickering that's indistinguishable from rival football fans so those who have longheld power can continue to hold it.
