Theory Wokeness is a strange phenomenon for me because I am not used to authoritarianism

None of us are... right?

I have a theory that up until about 1965 Western society was authoritarian right-wing. Then '65 to 2014 maybe it was libertarian centre. Then 2015 onwards... authoritarian left-wing (ie, "woke").

So now wow we have so many RULES! I mean, some things are totally allowed like being insulting to white guys or whatever. But most things seem to be either illegal or in some way "punishable".

So yeah crazy. Now we're all walking on eggshells.

It's a bit tedious, isn't it?

Its absolutely crazy. There is just so much stuff you can't do now and it isn't just some reasonable stuff like not inflicting violence on others directly or whatever but most of the rules are just trying to avoid hurting the feelings of people which is stupid. You just feel like you can't say what you truly feel but are constantly forced to adhere to some social standard that makes no sense beyond trying to enforce the power of these tyrants. Only place you can speak freely now is anonymously on the internet where you can't be linked to your irl identity easily. Even that they want to take away from us. Absolutely dispicable.
