The woke Left define themselves as what they are not and judge goodness by how much someone or something is against evilness, specifically their myriad “systems of oppression”.

They woke attack Merit the way they attack everything else: attacking the MEANING by claiming the social situation in which a thing occurs make that thing racist/sexist/etc.Merit is "embedded" in "the ideology of whiteness" therefore all the standards of merit are racist. pic.twitter.com/9mTmlKWdqs

The next move is to claim the thing they're attackong maintains, reinforces, reproduces, perpetuates, empowers, enables, or otherwise "upholds" a an oppresive social "structure"This usually is done by claiming the standards and principles in play are racist/sexist/etc. pic.twitter.com/hgl68Vz5rJ

They try so hard to make something so oversimplified and trite seem deep and intellectual.

This is about merit in university applications.Merit is about "can you do the work according to rigorous objective standards."
The woke attack the standards in the way I described in order to be able to remove them and replace them with their own woke standards. pic.twitter.com/frCe3Wmu9Q

Wokeness interprets everything through the lens of power and politics, so their standards of good, excellence, quality, and merit, all reduce to "does this advance and empower wokeness."If yes….the thing has merit.
If no…the thing has no merit.— Wokal Distance (@wokal_distance) July 25, 2023

This is a paint by numbers set of moves the woke use, and we ought to stop letting them get away with it.It's just a cheap paint by numbers deconstructive dialectic and we ough to reject it.
