It's probably already been said - and since I haven't read the entire thread, that is probably the case. If so, then I apologise.
The Wokish world - if that is really a thing - seems to follow postmodernism in its natural and logical extensions. Unlike modernism, it doesn't believe in absolutes or black and white; only rainbows and grey, with lots of fuzziness. Hence, it can theoretically work with the idea of total inclusion - no absolutes, no right and wrong - and everything can be right - even contradictory religions. At least in their theory - anyways.
Of course, that is their theory and then there is their practice.
In practice they object - to anything that is not inclusive. They object to anything that says they are objectively correct. Basically, however, that is really cover for saying, so long as you agree with us - we accept you - and if you don't agree with us, then you are out. Canceled.
Their theory and their practice do not meet.
I think that any religion or worldview for that matter that teaches in theory a total inclusive tolerance of everything is nonsensical and a logical self contradiction. I accept that can only arise from a modernist point of view, though. One that still believes that 1 +1 = 2. From our position - the self-contradiction of the inclusive and tolerant position gives us a logical conclusion that total inclusiveness is illogical. So if a religion or worldview is going to be correct - if that is possible - or plausible - it must be one that teaches and practices exclusiveness. This doesn't mean it has to destroy all other views - but it is one that will not dilute its exclusive teachings as correct. We can live in a reasonably tolerant world with lots of different and even contradictory positions - so long as there is one dominant worldview or religion as the ultimate measure of right and wrong.
In Australia recently, the question of monoculture came up. Lots of people became upset. We are known as a multicultural country - and we are - but only because we have one dominant cultural position which still determines right and wrong. It once was the Christian exclusive view - but Christianity - at least so it seems moved towards a more generic inclusive point of view. But now that has been overtaken by the secular worldview. So we still have one dominant culture - worldview - and underneath this umbrella - a multi-culture can thrive so far as it bows the knee to the one dominant one. The dominant one - pretends it is not a worldview - nor that it is in charge. In fact it often suggests that it is very inclusive and pushes that view - but it's real woke. Its a wokenish that pushes it theory for everyone else but doesn't practice it in practice.
That is why Australia is called down under.
Spot on correct, this is pure evil what's going on. It's disguising itself as loving and 'freedom' oriented by is enforced with cancel culture tyranny. Speak too openly and you literally get travelbanned, if not arrested. It's pure tyranny.
It seems tradesecret has blocked me though, so idk how to reply.
The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.
It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.
He blocked you because you don’t know how to reply.
Debby, Australia is called down under because we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why did you say I have blocked you? I haven't even figured out how to block people. I've only blocked about three people in my entire time on the internet, and not one on this site. Although there may be some of those people on this site. In fact, I think I've seen at least two of them here.

Hard to focus when the president you elected is convicted of tax evasion, 34 felony counts, rape and soon to be child sexual assault in the Epstein files.
