Can’t express diverging views about the shape of Earth or how vaccines cause authism.
What you call “woke” is just a lowered tolerance to fringe theories in ethics, same way many people don’t tolerate fringe theories about cosmology or medicine.
- sceptical 5y agoWokeness is a religion. As such that is fine but why pretend otherwise.
- trasz 5y agoNot a religion, but rather an ideology. It's usually spelled humanism, though.
- systemvoltage 5y agoOne of the problems of woke ideology is the ostensible moral superiority they display over others to push their agenda. Arrogant, intolerable and incorrigible. In their mind, they are righteous and everyone that is not onboard is evil. Sounds familiar?
- trasz 5y agoI'm pretty sure antivaxxers are saying the same about educated folks.
- systemvoltage 5y agoI think the antivaxxers are largely a group of people that have not looked at the data but instead following Twitter and FB, they're skeptical because everyone around them at the dinner table and office table is. But, there is a whole group of provaxxers that just don't want to give into the Government overreach which many nations have clinched on during this pandemic. This group gets into the crossfire - they have a point.
- systemvoltage 5y agoThis is the problem. Not all diverging opinions are insane anti science bs you’re talking about. I reject both wokeness and trumpism, Qanon, etc. There is a giant turf in the middle that you fail to acknowledge.
- trasz 5y agoOf course not all diverging opinions are fringe. But those that “wokeness” is against are.
