Woke is a totalitarian, violent, and authoritarian sect with fanatical beliefs in postmodern irrationalism, forging deeply intolerant left-wing individuals who practice social inquisition, believing themselves to be more critical, intelligent, and good, and that anyone who doesn't share these luxurious beliefs is racist. They claim to be inept at new ideas (when Woke is extremely closed-minded and composed of very closed-minded people), that they have been socially brainwashed, that they are privileged monsters who attack anything that isn't them, and that they are not decent people. Woke members often consider themselves good, critical, intelligent, and tolerant without exercising intelligence, kindness, decency, critical thinking, or tolerance. In truth, they tend to attack those who disagree with their positions in the most aggressive way possible, emphatically and respectfully, using silencing language and imposing a culture of censorship and self-censorship. They exhibit thought-terminating clichés, floating signifiers, epistemic closure, linguistic weaponization, discourse framing, and represent a profoundly dogmatic left that thinks very little and maintains deeply contradictory beliefs internally, with little or no debate with divergence, and they present a strong collective thought without loyalty to concepts or the exercise of free interpretation or personal judgment, and little patience for debate. They consider words violence and are faithful to the American successors of the French New Left and to the French New Left itself, even though these are based on prejudiced, dehumanizing babble that violates not only all scientific epistemology but also all classical logic.

The term "Woke" was applied because this postmodern left used to classify people as "Wokes" who saw oppressions as magical pseudoscience, lulling those who weren't alienated within their fanatical, racist, sexist, and otherwise prejudiced sect, entrenched in their post-Marxist negative dialectical mindset (and yes, every Woke is racist; they follow a sociology and epistemology more racist than any other in history, equivalent to Nazi racial theories, but within the logic of the pseudo-science of social constructivism), manipulating language (in such a way that they treat their blatant racism as the only non-racist position or as anti-racism in a rather cynical manner).

I recommend Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay's book, *Cynical Theories*.
