Religious Parallels:
Religion contains the opportunity to recognize sin, through a careful examination of the heart; upon doing so, an individual can be reconciled to G-d, by confessing those sins. Wokism has defined its own version of sins, through a social justice framework. By way of coercion, a person may be brought to confess his or her so-called sins.
In order to better recognize this parallel within the Woke system, it is helpful to look at the specific elements that contribute to this dynamic. Generally, cancel culture is relentless, and does not give opportunity to confess; typically, there is no allowance for mercy and compassion; rather, only judgment and condemnation.
Yet, calling out another person’s microaggression, can require that person to publicly confess, wherein there is a type of confession made for the “sin” of microaggression. That person, as a result of the confession, is then figuratively reinstated to the good graces of the community wherein the microaggression was committed.
1). it reinforces the system, wherein blame is placed upon an individual regardless of intent 2). confession is an admittance of guilt, whether or not the statement condemned as a microaggression was intended as a slight or not. 3). the process actively engages the so-called culprit of the microaggression to be further indoctrinated into the overall system. 4). accusing someone of a microaggression can lead to censorship of that person’s speech.
Any allowance for redress within the Woke system is nil. The opportunity for discussion about the issues at hand does not exist, because the Woke always reason that they hold the moral position, based upon their set of rules.
Extracting a confession brings the condemned person over to the other side, absolving him or her of his so-called sin. An effort may be made to bring the individual into further alignment with the ideology.
As a result of a foot-in-the-door tactic, a confession allows for entrance into that person’s psyche. Woke pseudo-moralism is intrusive; understanding the dynamic behind the language is key, so as to not fall prey to its influence.
