1/ One mistake I keep seeing from anti-Wokists is describing Wokism as some sort of high-IQ evil.
Completely, 💯% wrong.
This is like describing 2+2=5 as evil. It’s not. It’s dumb.
And because it’s dumb, it spawns what I call “dumb-evil.”

2/ This misperception arises because anti-Wokists see Wokism emanating from elite academic institutions.
But what they don’t realize is that not everyone at these elite institutions is/was, in fact, “elite.”
Wokism spawned from departments dominated by affirmative action hires.

3/ Who majored in these depts?
Students who felt inferior (less educated, lower-IQ groups *just like the Professors themselves*, who were recruited and made to feel superior/oppressed).
Obviously, if you feel out of your depth, you’d major in these welcoming, easy “fields”:

4/ In these fields, it’s only about your lived experience!
Weren’t taught to write? Don’t worry: grammar and vocab are racist. Weren’t taught calc? 2+2=5 if you say so! Weren’t taught to reason? Late to class? Overwhelmed by “rigor”?
All white, patriarchal supremacy anyway.

5/ Wokism was ab initio low-IQ stuff that got mixed with a sense of morality/compassion/politics.
This dynamic caused high-IQ elites to pat these depts on the head and defend them from critics.
But—train impressionable minds in this garbage for 20 years? The low IQ gets scaled.

6/ Why? Because students who majored in these fields have no marketable skills!
So they go into teaching the SAME fields (but they have to get more radical than their mentors), or into academic bureaucracy, or into political activism...etc.
Now scale THAT for years, you get:

This is what @GlennLoury compassionately refers to as "lightweight."
