The woke people will hate you for disagreeing; we gotta combat this by accepting them despite disagreeing. When they ban you from their circles, let them into yours (given they are respectful and don't insult). Treat them with kindness, don't fight their hate with hate.
and likewise, when the woke eat their own, offer support for the outcast woke, don't mock them with 'payback's a bitch'.
Be like yeah, we know, we've been through it and it sucks. We have a place for you here and you don't even have to believe what we do; just have compassion.

Cause this isn't sustainable if your goal is to suppress and shut up the woke, even if they want to do that to you. If the goal is to reach them, connect to them as humans, you have to remember the purpose is communication, not dominance. Kindness, not winning.
And yeah, sometimes you have to draw boundaries for self protection, and this is okay and good and don't feel guilty about that. But it's easy to *think* you're being threatened when you're not; it's better to err a on the side of taking a hurt you can bear, than hurting them.
Showing that you will not hurt them, even if they would hurt you, is the way to affect change. It might take a long time, it might need to be iterated, and it's not always feasible, but if we continually try to lean in that direction, people will notice.
