It isn’t about Nazis. It is about people who are in the main stream but fail to measure up to one of an increasing number of wokeness bars, some of which are mutually incompatible.
You can only throw so many people out of the village before the exiles outnumber the townfolk.
Your analogy is correct, but you have the villagers and the exiles mixed up. The exiles are the people who have other religions or other gender identities or other sexual orientations or other racial and ethnic backgrounds. The villagers are the people complaining about wokeness while throwing out all of the “undesirables.”

So what “wokeness bars” are the bullshit things that no one should care about specifically and why?
Name ten of them, where/when they arose and from whom, and justify why we should accept and tolerate leadership that makes that choice to reject them.

Some examples, please? We’re all fascinated by this concept.

Correct, the people running things at the New York Times, want to be able to include lots of anti-trans articles without the “undesirables” complaining about it.

Yeah, it actually is.
To think otherwise is pure folly.

They can’t make the moral choice to throw out the people who are throwing out the already well and truly marginalized.
As an aside, a Wokeness Bar sounds like a delicious midday snack packed with chocolate, marshmallows and various nuts.

I’m pretty sure they sell Wokeness Bars at REI and Whole Foods, so the NYT editorial board should have easy access to them…

A Republican, a TERF, and a snowflake walk into a wokeness bar…

What is the ideal number of minority groups that we can treat like garbage to make life easier for everyone else? A rough estimate is fine. I wouldn’t want anyone to twist an ankle on what sound like impossible standards to meet for granting basic humanity to others! This must be hard for you.

Don’t be silly, Veronica; the answer is obviously ‘ALL OF THEM.’

What are those bars?
And what are your standards for considering someone progressive?

I’m kind of hoping that a request for someone to further define a “wokeness bar” is a “wokeness bar” in and of itself.
It wouldn’t be the first time someone using an empty right-wing term thought it unfair when it was questioned. A response (or lack thereof) should clarify things in that regard.

I wish there was a wokeness bar in my neighborhood.
Probably would have a fabulous happy hour.

Sounds like you were describing right-wing ‘conservatives’. Was that a typo?

The vast majority of us just want to live our lives, free from discrimination and laws that oppress us. That’s literally all we want. One political party in this country is busy passing laws that are oppressive to a large number of your fellow citizens and it’s not the party that has progressives in it. The current actions of the GOP is a much bigger threat not only to those us they are targeting, but to YOU as well. If you don’t think that the right wing will come for your rights after they’re done with POC, women, the LGBQT+ community, and non-Christians, then you really need to wake up.
