i love how woke has almost become a seal of approval at this point
Mate, you're basically justifying your own obcession with a specific human trait, by there having existed and existing bad people who are obcessed with it and have done and do bad things using it as a justification.
In other words; you're accepting the hierarchy of importance and relevance of human traits which the bad people have and then just saying you're going in the opposite direction - in other words, you claim to reject their actions yet stay within the same framework of prejudice that they defined
It's not exactly wise to try and counter bad people within the rules of the game they themselves defined. Thinking people figure out when they're children that it's not smart to play a game against those who make the rules of the game whilst staying within the rules they made.
I, on the other hand totally reject their framing and prejudiced, reductive take on people, and think those who follow it are "insane" and "morons".
That doesn't stop me from being against injustices being commited against people by those justifying it using such reductive framings of the human nature, because I'm against ALL injustice as a broader principle, quite independently of whatever insane framing those committing the injustices are using to try and justify their actions - accepting the aggressor's "logical" framing in order to counter-argument within that framing is not a requirement for siding with the victims, it's not even an effective form of siding with the victims because by trying to counter-argument within that framing you are accepting the framing, thus risk prolonging the injustice.
