Totally agree. Claims that the Woke are fascist or Nazi-like are ridiculous; the hard right always loved physical fitness, hierarchies, immutable categories, rigidity, and simple thinking. The Woke are deeply ambivalent about their bodies, egalitarian, engaged in a constant negotiation with reality, flitting from fad to fad, and ultimately obsessed with the left-wing equivalent of asking how many genders can dance on the head of a pin and how anyone can attain salvation from the sin of pale skin.
Homo sapiens: the ape that murdered its way into niceness. The human condition in a nutshell.
Interesting.
Might be beyond your purview, still I will throw it up against your wall reading this snippet of hierarchy, I've been typing Jesus Christ was a rebel against hierarchy from time to time, but no one has commented on this idea.
Great insights. Thanks.
