when I hear "woke movement" its always a right wing pundit jawing about black protestors ravaging innocent little Trump supporters in the streets. Your definition is a little more broad
What you are describing sounds more like "assault" than "woke-ness." Of course, the Trump supporters are also prone to looking for fights.
Woke-ness is more of an ideology than an action; although, it is certainly an ideology that promotes extreme actions in some cases.
I would say that the central unfortunate characteristic of "woke-ness," as an intellectual phenomenon, is the tendency to seek to win its arguments by stifling opposing points of view rather than defeating them.
Like, if we are in a conversation about policing violence, and I bring up the disproportionately high violent crime rate in some African American neighborhoods, and I am said to be a racist just for bringing that fact up... that is the problem of woke-ness.
I
may be a racist (or not), but a
fact cannot be racist.
Both suck but I can't think of many people who have gone out and committed mass shootings, attempted bombings, or plotted to kidnap a Governor over wokeism.
I intentionally didn't include comparative terms in the OP. I think Trumpism is a more immediate threat, definitely.
However, I think the left is in danger of giving away the ideological high ground if they promote woke identity over actual policies that help people.
