They are nothing more than your counterparts

 There's something that I think you may be missing here. When you talk about these people who ride you so much people who you describe as being woke or activists like black lives matter, all you're really talking about if people who are passionate to a degree where there who was that word single-minded very single-minded and focus on an issue to the point where they're not really rational. They may be actually taking their pent up intense anchor out on people who shouldn't be targets because they have just lost themselves. They do things with abandon and recklessly. But what I think you don't understand is that that's exactly what you have done and then. You are the other side of that coin.

Just like you these are people are fighting what they believe is an existential threat. You're convinced you and a certain way of life is under attack and you can easily be convinced of a certain enemy. That's what makes fear dangerous, that you can be easily mamipulated in that state of mind to see anyone who is 'other' in any way as THE enemy.

Take, for example, Naomi Osaka pullout. She said what she said, she gave her reasons, accepted the fine, and that should have been the end of it. But, no. It has to get talked to...

INTRO TO BOOK CONCEPT IN TYPICAL EXPOSITORY FORM - "Post-Progressive"

On January 7, 2021, Presidential Election Certification Day in the United States, I viewed scenes from the previous day's Capitol revolt in horror along with millions of other Americans. Reading my daily news feed, I saw photo after photo of a frenzied mob storming our country's most venerated federal building, penetrating its entry points in any way possible, in an attempt to disrupt the House of Representatives' business of officially naming Joe Biden 40th president of the United States. Angry, passion-fueled protestors armed with everything from signs and flags to zip ties, handcuffs, incendiary devices, and firearms had swarmed the building. They scaled walls and balconies, assaulted and pushed past Capitol guards, breached the chamber itself, and reportedly went on the hunt for any elected officials who hadn't managed to flee the building in fear for their lives.
