You could also call it social justice warriorism, or identity politics, or identitarnism, or cultural progressivism,or post-modernism, or social media activism, or intersectional feminism, or 4th wave feminism, or something else if you like. The point is there is a social movement a trend, which has grown significantly since about 2013, which people often refer to as "wokeness." The name is less important the phenomenon. While yes, conservatives and Neo-fasicists and MAGA's and all those folks also talk about this phenomenon, that doesn't mean the phenomenon doesn't exist. In fact you are using two different forms of sophistry and deceptive rhetoric here. You're trying to change the subject by getting people to focus on the name of the social movement rather than the substance of the thing itself. You'e also trying to dismiss any critique or even discussion (or indeed naming) of that movement by asserting that, by definition, anyone attempting to discuss and critique it are right wing fasicists, bigots, etc. Anyone who follows these issues fairly knows that isn't true. This ideological split is not so new. It's what Frederick Douglas criticized William Garrison about in the abolition movement. It's what MLK criticized the Nation of Islam about. Hell, it's what older Malcolm X criticized younger Malcom X about. If you want to discuss sincerely, go read a book then come back. If you want to troll, please just stop.

Good faith? Introducing vulgarity into the conversation is not good faith.
