Woke Language Distorts the World

I was wondering why these anti-woke types are always climate change deniers too, and found this interesting report:

> The remaining key influencers in the ‘Anti-Science’ group fall into this contrarian set, sometimes branded as the ‘Intellectual Dark Web.’ While their focus is on social wedge issues, climate change also plays a role in such ‘anti-woke’ messaging. Jordan B. Peterson, the fourth most followed account in the overall network, falls into this category and has a track record of both climate-sceptic and climate denialist statements (covered below and in other sections of the report). Peterson’s central placement in the network emphasises the role such influencers play in amplifying and sustaining a climate sceptic community. Another member of this group, Peter Boghossian, collaborated with Shellenberger on the abovementioned ‘Woke Religion Taxonomy.’

People are really tired of this stuff and it’s unlikely to survive the recession.

I've always felt that there is some kind of hidden agenda with wokespeak that is bigger than what the wokish people are letting on to. And if you question it, they switch back and forth between different meanings of the same word.

Too bad someone can't think of new words and definitions that can combat the woke langauge, like "Open" means "freedom of speech." "Why can't everyone be open?"

"Strong" means "individualism" instead to counteract "intersectionality." "We need strong people."
