Re: Oh how the woke wimper
The 'woke' called themselves that, and the term is used sarcastically by their detractors.
A major part of the complaint by the anti-woke is that the woke don't do what you say. According to the detractors, 'woke' people don't listen to the people whose lives they try to ruin, or apply any measure of charity. The complaints are the the 'woke' are themselves highly prejudiced against people who disagree with them, and that a significant segment of the 'woke' take vindictive glee in causing or encouraging harm to those deemed acceptable targets.
A big part of this is just how mob justice works; it latches on to visible targets and tries to bring them down. And as 'woke culture' is socially relatively powerful, and potentially useful to take down people you don't like, you'd expect a lot of sociopaths and other bad actors to come and join in under the banner, mouthing the party line for the chance to take someone down- perhaps a rival, perhaps someone they have a grudge against, perhaps just for the rush of getting someone fired.
It feels good to SWAT people, it feels good to dox people, it feels good to troll someone, it feels good to get someone expelled from their school, for the same reason it feels good to beat up one of the other kids on the playground with your friends. If you can then say you were doing good, even better!
Aside from outright malevolence, there's a danger of a feedback loop/purity spiral culture of fear. Nobody wants to be *ist, genuinely being *ist is actually bad, and some people are *ist. More importantly nobody wants to be branded as *ist, and a great way to show you aren't *ist is by accusing someone else of being *ist. The more people get fired or kicked out of things for being (seen to be) *ist, the more incentive people have to demonstrate they aren't. This leads to a widening of the terms, where ideas and statments that last year would have been fine, and that on the object level might be important to solving problems in the world, are labelled *ist and become socially toxic. Eventually, any idea or person that isn't directly in line with the mainstream is *ist; *ist just means 'heretic'.
If we are in a purity spiral- well, they're like bubbles; eventually they crash, as it becomes common knowledge that *ist doesn't mean *ist anymore. And 50 years later kids wonder why people saw communists everywhere.
The problem isn't necessarily moral fashions in and of themselves- you can't get rid of fashion- but the viciousness involved in the modern incarnation.
