There seem to be two camps on the “anti-woke” thing. before I get into that, I must point out that “woke” began as simply meaning being cognizant of the plight of people of color. Then it got co-opted by others and turned into a catch-all term for what used to be called SJWs.
I see the two camps as follows:
The first is those who actually are bigots and who tend to lean towards right-wing extremism and they want to “own the libs” and just lash out at anything that supports equality, LGBT+ issues, etc. They often have this fundamentalist worldview that is generally sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. and they want to be able to voice their bigotry without consequence.
The second camp is generally on the same side of the issues as the “woke” people, but strongly disagree with many of the tactics and narratives being employed as they are often selectively bigoted as well, with different targets. Plus, there’s a lot of absolutist thinking and zero tolerance for any criticism or disagreement, no matter how valid. They aren’t against the demographics, but the attitudes. The snark, vitriol, constant rage, and overreacting to often innocuous things.
A fair argument can be made that many who claim to be “woke” do partake heavily in bigotry against those they perceive as privileged (white, cis, male, old, etc) and it kind of flies in the face of the progressive stance that bigotry of any kind should be avoided. Narratives such as “punching up vs punching down” send the message that punching is fine, as long as it’s done to the “right” people. So, a lot of hypocrisy and disingenuousness has become a part of the whole “woke” movement.
There are a ton of people who simply want to see everyone live a life of dignity and respect, have their basic needs taken care of, and not be marginalized or discriminated against. Yet, they aren’t on the attack online looking for fights and shouting people down. They’re just being kind and reasonable with people in general. This is where I identify. I don’t feel that arguing all the time is fighting the good fight, nor is it at all effective in resolving the problems they claim to address. If anything, it just exacerbates them.
