Our culture war is not a distraction: Apathy is tantamount to surrender by Andrew Doyle
"What has become known colloquially as the “woke” movement is rooted in the postmodernist belief that our understanding of reality is entirely constructed through language, and therefore censorship by the state, big tech or mob pressure is fully justified. In addition, this group maintains that society operates according to invisible power structures that perpetuate inequality, and that these can only be redressed through an obsessive focus on group identity and the implementation of present discrimination to resolve past discrimination. This is why the most accurate synonym for woke is “anti-liberal”."
...
"The goals are certainly oppositional, but the terms
are vaguely defined and often muddied further through obfuscation. Rather than
a reflection of antipathies between Right and Left, today’s culture war is a
continuation of the age-old conflict between liberty and authoritarianism. John
Stuart Mill opened On Liberty (1859) with an account of the
“struggle between Liberty and Authority”; the only difference today is that the
authoritarian impulse has been repackaged as “progressive”."
