But, do you think that someone needs to fulfill all those rules in order to be woke? For example:I believe people can identify however they please as long as doing so causes no harm to others.
I believe that attacking someone based on this identification or immutable trait is ethically and morally wrong.
Let's condense and reverse.
"Do you believe that attacking someone based on how they identify themselves is morally right?"
Same thing with your next premises.
"Is it morally acceptable to oppress people?"
"Must we always stand up for marginalised groups?"Anyone who attempts to stop marginalised group or discuss any changes they demand are oppressive and should be cancelled.
Hmm, I'd replace marginalised with oppressed. The oppression is what causes the marginalization in the first place. I understand that the way you use it pedophiles are "marginalised." So, if someone woke defends a bully beating up a gay classmate, it means he would do the same for a pedophile. I think that's wrong.
Anyway, there's this theory going around that the right-wing's fetish for finding pedophiles on the left is the lady protesting too much. Anyway, I appreciate the definition --though it's still not mine. And, I have to admit I'm almost 100% woke. I believe it's morally right and an obligation to fight for the oppressed. How to determine who's oppressed and what oppression is? Hard to say, but I don't consider pedophiles to be oppressed. I think they should be jailed.
Jail them for thought crime or when they transgress and offend..
