Almost everything I saw on the woke left that I hated — the lemming-like groupthink, the embrace and promotion of weird conspiracies, the endless waxing and waning and birthing and rebirthing of moral panics, the refusal to leave the warm embrace of the echo chamber, the collective and ramshackle rationalizations, the cognitive rigidity, the refusal to even try to understand the actual(as opposed to imagined) motivations of people on the opposing side, the constant and deliberate abuse of language and terms with specific and accepted meanings to slur opponents who do not meet the definition of those terms, the revision of history so that it conforms to current belief systems and political goals, the cartoonish stereotypes of people in the out-group, the creepy ideas about gender and sex roles, the pressure on dissenters, the repetition of memes and the copy and pasting of boilerplate as a substitute for actual thought, the primitive tribalism, the authoritarian impulses, the psychological projection, the cults of personality, the resistance to the idea of a public university as an entity that champions truly free speech and open discourse, the tolerance for and refusal to criticize extreme actors in the in-group, the development of cults of personality, the social media childishness and tantrums, the auto-formation of opinions by reflexively forming one's views on issues by simply taking the opposite position of one's "enemies", the informal enforcement on group unanimity, the ideologically-motivated selective interest and disinterest in scientific findings and statistical data, the elevation to prominence of the stupidest and most toxic figures, the astonishing and depressing illiteracy on what “free speech” means in a democratic society (both as it relates to 1A and as it doesn't relate to 1A), the questioning of the legitimacy of long-standing important institutions when they take the “wrong” position, the enthusiastic support for morally bankrupt politicians, the open and unapologetic and explicit contempt for democracy, the hypocrisy and on and on — I now see on the antiwoke right.
