One sinister aspect of this entire movement is its unwillingness to acknowledge or explore its own dynamics. They're nihilistic revolutionaries and they KNOW they're nihilistic revolutionaries, but they pretend as if they just want people to be kind to each and as if they just want to help the struggling poor. This entices a much larger group of soft-headed midwits (mostly women) who then debate and behave as if you (the opponent) is against kindness and poverty amelioration. I've called this pathological dishonesty 'the Elastic Ideology' but it's also called the motte & bailey strategy.

The Smithsonian would never admit that wokeness is actually a thing... but if your ideas are so grand and beneficial, why NOT create a display to explore them? That's the difference between left and right, as I see it: the right wants their ideas (in fair, accurate form) to be publicly known as much as possible. The left is the opposite - they want a rosy and inaccurate view of their ideas to be publicly known. The real ideas must stay hidden, on pain of loss of power & status. There is no evil that the left (collectively) will not abet or perpetrate in order to keep power and status. NONE.
