I decided to edit this post, and tried to be more clear as I regretted not spending more time writing the previous version.
The fundamental problem is these accusation games can have serious consequences. And how I see it, the woke movement has given people a recipe for how to act and view the world, where the result is people hastily interpret situations as expressions of racism where there was none, to then launch an attack.
But for anyone who paying attention, this game is getting watered down by now, and you should at least be skeptical before the burden of proof has been sufficiently fulfilled.
And I want to be clear, my claim is not to say racism never happens or isn’t a problem. I think it’s a terrible thing, and in the event you experience racism this shouldn’t be accepted.
I think it’s very important to understand making an accusation of racism or similar claims, means you question their moral character, with the accompanied threat of demolishing them.
This alone, regardless of what’s true in the end, can be incredibly damaging to a person’s reputation, wellbeing, standing in the community and it has the potential to ruin careers in extreme cases. This isn’t a child’s play.
So human beings organize themselves in hierarchies, and everyone experiences limitations in life. So to the degree one doesn’t have everything one could wish for, this has the capacity to evoke feelings of resentment, bitterness and envy to varying degrees in a population. This opens one up for wanting revenge. But, as long as the game is fair, this is generally acceptable! But as you climb the hierarchy, for example as you are becoming an increasingly popular streamer, something you might learn is any display of low moral character means people will go after you.
This is the demand for playing a fair game in a society. And when it’s “working”, cheaters or corrupt actors don’t get to have desirable positions.
The problem with this woke thing, is they are pointing the moral finger when there was no crime, and it’s therefore malicious and predatory.
But, you have to be careful, because the woke "worldview" and it's premise, is basically the entire system is corrupt (claiming its impossible to climb the hierarchy), and something like white males are guilty (blocking everyone else from climbing the hierarchy). So I guess this is how they try to justify the attacks, but anyone who paid attention in history class likely picked up on the fact group guilt tends to be a dangerous idea.
*And I wish to add, I realize Gabi might feel some pressure from the situation; it's not my intention to put more pressure on her. My beef is more with this woke stuff, and shes not the fundamental problem and I have no grudge or anything vs Gabi or anyone. But I do think this is important to talk about
