Just because your bubble exposes you to the craziest people doesn't mean they represent any majority. It's easy to see those screenshots of people being completely unreasonable, but the truth is most people who are "woke" aren't anything like that.
We see the world through the lens of social media optimised to make us angry at other groups of people.
Most of the people I know are queer and extremely leftist, and they're all massively annoyed at some of the bullshit performative wokeness we see. It's only a very very small minority of people who actually behave like that.
It's like what the linked article mentions with only 4% of people actually caring about the use of latinx. You get angry at people pushing for this and think progressives are stupid, but actual progressives are also annoyed at it because they know it's going to be used as an excuse to make their communities look stupid.
Idk what's a good conclusion on all this but I'd just say, keep in mind that extreme stuff you see online is usually not reflective of any sizeable amount of people
I agree with you, that the majority are not like this. The trouble is the people setting agendas in culture generally, mostly the media, are basically the extreme woke types you say are the minority.
And these people actually have power, as journalists, film directors, etc. they do set the talking points.
So I think it’s completely fair to react to this in a negative way, because it is actually happening.
It would be great if the normal woke minority would reject these people and stand up against them and say they are too extreme, but they don’t.
