If you are confused (which is easy to do) with what “woke” means, or “othering”, the difference between the Anywheres and the Everyones or how one can achieve, as demanded by those who are “woke” both diversity and inclusion (aren’t they self cancelling?), then this excellent article from the Claremont Review of Books is a must read. I doubt if in the end you will be able to accurately define each of the terms and how one could possible balance them in one’s life, but it will help you to better understand why your friends on the Left seem to willingly participate in a circular firing squad. https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/the-chosen-and-the-woke/
