Here's an interesting video about a woman on how she became a very active activist for social justice warrior causes and then lost faith in the cause, and is now an activist against it.
What's interesting is a detail, you'll only notice if you pay attention. She started off as a Christian. Became an atheist (implied) found Woke and became woke the same way as she was Christian, then left woke and became a Christian again.

I have never before considered the connection woke and atheist. Do you guys think it exists? Sweden is certainly a country very atheist as well as woke. Or is it just an accident of history?
The video is interesting just as being about a woman's journey into social justice warrior. I found it very telling when she mentions that she thinks that woke is the enemy of fun. And that it's part of the ideology to never have fun because that's part of being an oppressor. I recognize that a lot among my more woke friends.
Me personally I've never been woke. I've been close to getting sucked in. I recognize her story. But I early on realized that being woke was ultimately hubris and narcissism, ie you take it upon yourself to be the conscience of the world because people can't be trusted to run their own lives. Which I think is at the core of any belief system that proselytizes. Even though I never went as deep as this woman I recognize the journey in myself.
