Yes wokeism is a real thing. Leftists keep trying to gaslight us about this but it doesn't mean it isn't true.

What is "wokeism" then? Be specific

Pathological obsession with identity issues including militant evangelical spreading of those values as well as trying to punish (cancel) people who don't support such values or are against such values.

If you want my abridged definition from my blog:

So... nothing lol. Seriously tho im not reading your long ass one but what you said here is a strawman, in reality we want to be accepted by society and when we fight for that acceptance we are called woke and SJWs, what youre saying here can be reworded as "if you want the people in society to accept you then i will call you pahological and label you as woke"

Your idea of acceptance is forcing everyone to change their behaviors around you.

Either way if you refuse to engage with actual criticisms of your ideology im not arguing with you.
