The proponents of Wokeism are simply today's version of George Orwell's thought police. As you stated, "Like the worst of Christianity, its adherents think they are morally superior to outsiders." It would be far more constructive for all to emulate Voltaire with his, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Thanks, Barry. That's a great quote. I think it highlights the importance of realizing that today's Woke crowd shouldn't be confused with liberalism. Woke is of the progressive left but is inherently illiberal, as in opposed to liberty.
