Wow, what a read. Wokeness really does break people's minds. I see what he means about his friend becoming radicalized by all this.

> Which boils down to this: CRT/BLM is supported by left-wing. So if I am critical of CRT/BLM, then I must be right-wing, and the fact that I even want to discuss this topic means that the discussion is ‘political’.

I've noticed this with ... certain other politicized topics. I'm very left-wing, so it's always amusing being accused of being right-wing by woke fanatics because I happened to disagree with them on some issue. Even if I approach it from a left-wing, anti-capitalist point of view. If it doesn't match what they've been told to think on social media, then that's it - an enemy is speaking, full of evil and malice.

It's all getting quite ridiculous.
