How is the 'Woke' ideology manifesting in society?

Woke ideology (a combination of post-Modern Marxism and Critical Race Theory) is polarising society. It's removing genuine empathy & compassion and replacing it with dogmatic moral superiority, which is an unempathetic, closed-minded, dismissive and often aggressive mindset.

Woke ideology encourages emotional responses like anger, resentment, bitterness, victimhood and condemnation. These leave very little room for empathy and compassion, let alone humility and forgiveness, which are paramount for genuine societal fairness and harmony.

Woke ideology claims fairness, tolerance, inclusivity & kindness but when you see its methods, how it deals with non-conformity, dissent and criticism, it displays none of these. It even excuses acts of violence & intimidation.

Actions speak louder than words.

Woke ideology puts all the emphasis on being ‘socially aware’ but there is a total lack of ‘individual self-awareness’.
This is how you get the intolerant, unfair, unkind & abusive behaviour – the righteousness of the ideology overrides the individual conscience’s duty to say, ‘No. That’s not how I should be behaving’.

Once you’ve decided that you are on the ‘right’ side of history, that you are a righteous person following a righteous cause, then self-reflection is unnecessary; that’s for the un-righteous people. They need educating, in the chilling phrase.

We’ve seen this in many religions over history. Jesus preached peace yet the desire for the whole world to follow & believe in Christianity led to many individuals behaving in ways Jesus would have utterly condemned.

The righteousness of the cause justified the behaviour. The ends justify the means.

Thus ‘woke’ adherents ostracise those they disagree with as heretics. They treat whiteness, and even maleness, as a form of original sin. And, above all, they demand their fellow citizens constantly repent these sins and affirm the true faith. If not, they are excommunicated (mobbed, threatened, cancelled).
Once you decide that you dislike someone’s socio-political opinions so much that you are happy to call for them to lose their livelihood, you have lost any credibility as a reasonable, tolerant or kind person.

Woke ideology is as much a dogmatic neo-religious creed as it is a political movement and needs to be challenged as such.
