"The need to address them" is key there. There is no need for everyone to work to address or think about the injustices, people who push the "you are either with us or against us" onto people and force them to make a choice instead of being bystanders are "woke". Most people dislike that kind of "woke", no matter if they are left or right, being forced to take a stand when you are stressed and tired enough already is very uncomfortable.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoThere is definitely an element of that, and I think most people would agree that that behavior is harmful. But I think we would say that such behavior is not actually that common and is very much exaggerated by the loud "anti-woke" crowd, who seem to equate any steps taken to address the issue or even draw attention to it as some kind of assault. See: "go woke go broke" nonsense, anti-CRT education legislation, etc. From the other side, I could say that a lot of the "anti-woke" rhetoric is just bigotry in disguise, but I know that is only a relatively small minority of very loud assholes who, naturally, draw the most attention. Unfortunately many of them are also elected officials.
