This is a brilliant observation: “What is surprising…is the effectiveness of victim-centric narratives at shutting down critical thinking and inspiring blind faith acceptance of statements and behaviors which would be seen as inauthentic, if not cloaked in the false virtue of victimhood.”

What also shuts down conversations and critical thinking is one woke participant in the room who calls you racist and walks out with an air of theatrical outrage.

I’m a traditional socialist and I agree with you on a few points. The woke-Left needs to reconcile with the civilizational facts, that Nihilism means the end of society. That’s not revolutionary, that’s for sure.
