Woke and #anti-woke #crusaders are the two prominent currents which give shape at the current #political landscape. Both #movements #cancel the works from artists and writers that don't wholeheartedly support their rhetoric.
It is accompanied with violent street clashes between two parties with opposite views about fundamental values. One wants to curb the rising gun-violence by tighter gun-control, while the other one argues that the solution consists out of more guns. One wants to solve a myriad of sexually tainted teenage issues by giving children a sexual education, while the other one argues that sexual education causes those issues. And so the debate goes on, about economics, healthcare, and many more...
It is foot-stamping debate about individual rights that ignores the tension field where those rights should be balanced against the needs of a society. I consider both movements as the head of the same beast: a new American styled, book-burning kind of fascism with revisionist tendencies towards history.
