  1. Wokism reminds me of both Leninism, evangelical religions, & all the isms, schisms & lifestyles I've encountered in my life. With most isms-schisms it's join now, do as we say, and we will change you (for the better). Wokism isn't like that at all; you're not required to change yourself, you just have to change other people by badgering, censoring & cancelling them; not so much by talking to them, but possibly by talking at them. It's a bit like Leninism in the way it concentrates on changing other people without much emphasis on changing oneself. Like most progressivisms: Wokism has that Utopian aspect. Except the Utopianism isn't really there at all - unless we consider witch-finding a kind of Utopianism! Wokism has a dream of Utopian with nothing actually getting better and everything getting worse. So paradoxically - Wokism is similar to old-skool blue-rinsed Toryism, but without the self-improvement. So wokism ends up dividing everyone against everyone else, and putting everyone into a ghetto where you're banned from talking to everyone except those in some other intellectual ghetto.
