I understand your point but I've self-censored myself for a very long 
time. My unfiltered thoughts probably would get me fired or blacklisted.

What does bother me about woke is, while I wouldn't refer to someone as a 
fat, black, lesbian asshole in most conversations, not the fat, black, 
lesbian asshole wants a pat on the head.

I think some of it is épater le bourgeois but I'm from the wrong 
generation to be shocked by a pierced, rainbow-haired blob. I do regret 
that they have achieved any political power.

I don't like musicals but I'm reminded of 'Cabaret' and what happened when 
the music stopped at the Kit Kat Klub.
