"It’s a system of beliefs that stands as one indivisible unit and touches on all aspects of one’s existence. You aren’t allowed to consider the evidence and pick and choose which parts of wokeness you like. … Like Christianity and Islam, wokeness purports to provide a system of beliefs that explains everything, and it doesn’t allow its believers to pick and choose … … wokeness gives commands, not suggestions. … You’re not allowed to be a little woke, just like Christians can’t follow their five favorite commandments. […] It’s the structure that they use to make sense of the universe. Where a nonwoke person sees ordinary interactions, … a disciple of wokeness sees microaggressions. Just as a Christian sees God’s hand in all of Creation, someone who’s woke sees the guiding hand of identity-based power relations everywhere they look."
