The “Minimizers”

I found this comment on X, and figured I’d share it; I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Soon after woke terminology emerged on the scene, anti-woke *sophisticates* began labeling the right as woke or snowflakes for merely noting anti-white/anti-male rhetoric as if merely giving a voice to observations put them in the same camp as the DEI/woke/snowflake crowd. This dynamic struck me as their attempt to differentiate themselves from their less sophisticated/educated anti-woke brethren ESPECIALLY those on the right. They noticeably reserved their most intense animus/disgust for this group as if to say that their was only ONE way to combat woke ideology. THEIR way & often insisted on a delicate more academic approach. This anti-woke *sophisticate* group peppered their pronouncements with declarations of their liberal bonafides in contrast to others who were saying the SAME THINGS. Meet the minimizer cohort.

    I would say the Bulwark/Weekly Standard/Nikki Haley/Liz Cheney crowd, but I don’t think we can conclude that they are still “minimizers” and haven’t switched sides completely.
