Wokeness, pc, etc are modern versions of medieval religion. The zealots and inquisitors of today are actually just as dangerous as their historical counterparts. I’m not sure how you can defend that. Unlike the woke I don’t think they should be physically assaulted, I mean consequenced, for expressing a different point of view.
