This strikes me as an important point from @ConceptualJames.
The Woke deal almost entirely in hyper-realities, that is, pseudo-realities, paralogics, and paraethical systems.

@ConceptualJames I keep underestimating this phenomenon, because as much as I understand intellectually that people do this, the idea of CHOOSING TO LIVE IN A FAKE REALITY is so evidently a bad and wrongheaded idea, I tend to assume people who inhabit such pseudo-realities are MAKING MISTAKES.
@ConceptualJames This turn to pseudo-reality, the deliberate orientation to the back of the cave will and way from the light of being and truth, this is a thing of the will primarily, and a thing of the intellect, which is darken by it, only secondarily.
@ConceptualJames That we should not come to hate our enemies nor regard them as subhuman are principles to be held firmly in mind and heart — but this should not lead us to think our enemies are better than they are, or less malevolent or twisted than they are.
@ConceptualJames These people do evil because they will evil — not because they are somehow honestly mistaken about what the good is, as if they'd just got it wrong ...
I'm sure some are victims of the paralogies, but not the paralogicians.

@ConceptualJames It is here Nietzsche is most useful: he teaches you how to root out the foulness buried in these people (and not too deeply).
