Gathering the theme of your responses, I think where we disagree is that you seem to think that things will naturally get better by themselves if you just "mix things up".

Start a revolution, shrug your shoulders if some "good" people get caught in the crossfire, and things will just kind of naturally work out for the better in the end.

Almost every time that's happened throughout history the result has been years and years of misery for everybody, followed by a new regime that was pretty much as bad as the last one for most people. All that really changed is which people were dumping on everybody else.

Almost all positive progress in the history of mankind has been slow and incremental. I wish this weren't true. I wish there was a way to snap one's fingers and create a stable, just, peaceful world. But history has shown us at every possible opportunity that that's not how it works.

I really think 90% of wokeness would be cured by a really good history lesson.
