The woke left of today remind me so much of the ultra right-wing religious nut jobs of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Morality extremism always leads to a lack of tolerance, suppression of independent thought, and manners of totalitarian BS being imposed on those who don’t want it. It’s always bad.
People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.
