What I hear you giving is the right-wing definition of “wokeness.” People being unreasonably demanding of society and its cultural expressions is not “wokeness”; I’d call it “human nature.” After centuries of unreasonable demands that society include zero representations of subaltern peoples, it’s not too surprising that some of those subaltern people are being overly unreasonable in trying to swing the pendulum too far the other way. Doesn’t make them correct, but does provide the proper context to explain what’s going on.

I reiterate my argument in the article that “wokeness” is a reaction against increased diversity. It is thinly-veiled whining about how dare people talk about oppression. Just because one can make vague “those people who demand…” allegations does not make the reality of oppression go away, even if it fools the maker of the vague allegations into believing so.

On your point about the slactivism of privileged young people, I agree! But that’s not about “wokeness,” that again is human nature. We also see privileged young people chanting anti-Left slogans too while not actually doing anything. It’s what people do. Whining about others is always easier than actually doing something.

You mentioned the unreasonable demands of some in the name of LGBTQ+. Again, I agree! I wrote this article a few years back and still agree that what they are doing is more harm than good. https://medium.com/inserting-philosophy/the-problem-with-the-transgender-label-64f822db4aea

As a university professor, I have spent 20 years providing students with an opportunity to discuss issues meaningfully and rationally. I show them that throwing around labels is of no practical help to anyone. That’s why I try to get people past talking in empty labels like “woke” and “trans” and into talking about people and issues.
