    There’s a video I posted to freeforum that equates wokeness with the Catholic church in the 1600s, a massive, towering religion with deep corruption and institutional power. It equates the new right with protestantism. People don’t understand why there are so many sects of protestantism, it’s because that’s where the intellectual freedom to try to make sense of the world lived. In the same way, there’s a lot of new right, many different views as people try to find the truth in a complicated world outside established dogma.

    That’s the core of it. Their religion is at stake, and they’re the establishment. To consider dissent is to risk losing their power in a world that clearly doesn’t match their religious teachings so they must reject.
