Wow that was beautifully concise! And much needed context to the everchanging socio-political world, I think there are many people that have this exact sort of internal battle right now, where not choosing sides IS choosing sides, regardless of affiliation/beliefs.

Greetings!

Sorry for off topic.

It is so great to see a journalist that is willing to cover issues which mainstream is not covering, no matter the attacks that come from covering them.

I don`t have a North America Credit Card, is there any other methods to support you? (PayPal Etc)

Well said the woke to me are everything they pretend to fight against.

I often call them cult because they mostly at like a authoritarian mandatory cult. And I agree also some far right is the same, the main difference between them is semantics.

Sometimes I say Manichean Left, but it doesn't really sound catchy and might be just as divisive anyway.

Unfortunately, "Woke" has very quickly evolved to its new meaning of not being socially progressive and in favour of actual social justice, but "social fascism", that embraces many of the tactics of the last "great" fascist reich...

You can start using a new term, but you'll likely be the only one doing it.
