For me the bad thing about wokery is that it’s not actually about fairness, justice, equality of opportunity, defending people from persecution etc - at all. It’s about scrabbling to be on the moral high ground that you’ve simply been told is what’s right, and swallowing that instead of thinking it through, in your desperation to be seen as a good person - and the more privileged you are, the more that appeals, so you can try to shrug off the guilt of being white, western, middle class, a man etc. It’s an identity to cling to like all the rest. But of course as it’s a selfish, egotistical movement it retains at its heart all the prejudices that actually benefit those people and always have - racism, sexism, classism.
People don’t parrot indefensible nonsense like TWAW because they’ve thought it through and come to their own reasoned positions on the issues of the day. They do it because their number one concern is not helping trans people, but being “in the right”, as publicly as possible - and ideally being able to pull others up on their failings as well.
IMO it’s possible to have reasonable, nuanced, middle-ground or just rational views on issues like gender, abortion, Israel-Palestine, and many more. They might not match my views but I find it easier to respect people who have arrived at their position by actually pondering the issue. But wokery doesn’t want this - it requires that you take an extreme, black and white, “morally correct” view on everything for no actual reason, just because that’s the way the wind is blowing. That’s how they end up in ludicrous situations like supporting both Hamas and gay rights, or supporting the persecution and silencing of women about their rights because trans is sacred.
