The problem with a lot of "woke" people is that their supposed compassion and understanding is performative. They want you to think that they care. Their virtue signaling is what matters most to them. The really sad thing is that they're not self aware enough to even realize what they're doing.
The problem with a lot of people is that they are neither compassionate nor understanding and they don't believe that others can be such because they themselves don't have it.. Instead of being compassionate and understanding they spend all their time worrying about what other people think and do, other people's personal decisions that have absolutely no bearing on anyone but themselves. These people vilify them and label them "woke" as some sort of pejorative insult instead of thinking about their own flaws and striving to be better themselves. I fully realize that there are many manipulative and deceitful people out there... but having blinders on and not looking for the good in people is just as destructive as taking people at their word.
Peace and understanding. Happy Weekend.
