Who decides the truth? When conventional knowledge is fatally flawed, how can it be changed?
Democracy is necessarily a battleground of ideas. The alternative is battlegrounds between groups with competing ideas.
For this reason, the by-any-means-necessary aspect of modern wokeism is terribly dangerous. What if these fuckers are wrong? Whenever we are urged to discard debate and the free exchange of ideas so that truth may prevail - watch the hell out.

(Ditto for nationalistic battle, which I add because made an appearance in your previous comment.) https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
