Woke people have no moral standards and it's blatantly evident in their hypocrisy.
A co-worker of mine who is woke and pro-immigration because, in her words, we have a duty to the world, in almost the same breath complained about homeless people living in a van near her house. They're not being loud or leaving trash or doing anything to disturb anyone around them but just the fact that they are THERE is a problem for her because it makes her uncomfortable.
See these people talk about morality and try to enforce moral standards on others, but they have no moral standards, the very idea of moral standards is repulsive to them, they see it as an infringement by society upon their personal freedom and yet they are perfectly happy to try and enforce moral standards upon society.
But it doesn't come from a place of morality, it's purely driven by emotion and self interest, I can't even say it's entirely out of self interest because they don't consider the ramifications of their own actions, they will literally advocate for frivolous government spending on feel-good social programs and then have the audacity to complain when their taxes go up.
Or advocating for violent criminals to be release and receive more leniency, and how the police are dangerous and need to be de-funded, and then complain that women are being attacked on the street by violent criminals and how it's becoming too dangerous to go out at night.
I find it fascinating how the depictions of the five monkeys experiment always present the monkeys stopping each other from climbing the ladder as a bad thing. This occurs outside of the lab with monkeys and power lines, a monkey climbs the power line and suddenly falls down dead, the other monkeys are shocked (emotionally), later another monkey climbs the power line and falls down dead. After several dead monkeys the others still have no idea what's happening but one thing is abundantly clear, the power lines are dangerous, and so the adult monkeys teach the young to stay off the power lines.
A generation later the monkeys know to stay away from the power lines, or even if they do climb them they've figured out (through generations of trial and error) where the most danger is and avoid those parts, they don't know why of course but they have a culture of avoiding the danger and that culture saves many a monkey from an early demise.
I'm beginning to see religion the same way, in my youth the story of Adam and Eve seemed very misogynistic, unfairly portraying the first woman (well second if you count Lilith) as the perpetrator of original sin. What all the Abrahamic faiths have in common is that women are are depicted as the dependents of men, as foolish and mercurial, and if not properly managed they become a danger to themselves and others.
This is why women originally couldn't vote, it wasn't some grand patriarchal conspiracy to deprive women of political power, it was simply common sense that women don't pay enough attention to (or understand) such things and thus would be poor decision makers.
