Woke 'Safe Space' and Echo Chamber Mentality
The Woke Can't Tolerate Any Disagreement because They are Used to Live in Echo-Chamber
Let’s illustrate Woke echo-chamber mentality on example of Israel-Palestine. That is, it is obvious that Israeli support in the West in truth is far from being overwhelming, with all Western campuses, many Left-wing parties and Leftist media outlets pledging their support 'for Palestine' (e.g., for HAMAS terrorists). Yet, Wokesters STILL claim they're 'vulnerable minority' with their pro HAMAS stance, 'guerrilla fighters against pro Israel system'. Now, how can THIS obvious delusion came to be?
It might be tempting to say that Wokesters are simply lying to extract more sympathy to themselves and their cause from society. It is tempting indeed to present oneself as a 'lonely freedom fighter against hostile corrupt system'. Moreover, it kinda echoes classic Leftist anti-establishment and anti-imperialist stance, so it's beneficial for the modern Woke Left to recall this old sentiment either. I argue, however, that it is more complex than that, and that AT LEAST TO SOME EXTENT, the Woke do REALLY believe that they're 'oppressed minority' for their 'Palestine support'.
To understand it we need to understand Woke 'safe space' and echo-chamber mentality. Modern Wokesters are children of so-called 'safe spaces' - BOTH physical and virtual. Safe spaces were created for the Woke snowflake students at Western campuses so 'no one could offend them' with their 'hatred and bigotry' (e.g., ANY slightest disagreement with the Woke views). Similarly, social media were turned into Woke echo-chambers as well when all their social media friends and spaces were translating the SAME Woke views. That was achieved partially via Big Tech algorithms which were showing to people ONLY what they WANTED TO SEE. Hence, Woke saw ONLY the Woke.
How all is this relevant to Israeli case? The point is that the Woke are USED TO EVERYONE AGREEING WITH THEM ON EVERYTHING as to a default case. The Woke pathologically cannot tolerate ANY disagreement, however polite and moderate. Moreover, most of the Woke haven't even EVER FACED any disagreement and indeed any opposition to their views during their entire lives (!!), thanks to all those 'safe spaces' and echo-chambers. That's why, when the Woke are FINALLY forced to face disagreement, they tend to exaggerate it in all possible ways. They perceive disagreement as a personal attack on them, sometimes even as the end of the world (yeah, things are THAT BAD!)
As a consequence of it, the Woke tend to exaggerate also the amount of disagreement they met (while taking all AGREEMENT for granted!). That is, even if ONLY ONE PERSON disagreed with the Woke on ANYTHING, for them it is an equivalent of one thousand people (!!) disagreeing with them on everything (and, unlike Woke, I am NOT exaggerating, just in case!) In the contrary, even ONE MILLION of agreeing voices the Woke take for granted - it is as it SHOULD BE for them, because this is how it ALWAYS was in their lives with their 'safe spaces' and echo-chambers!
The implication of this analysis for Israeli case is pretty straightforward. When everyone at Woke campuses pledged their overwhelming support to Palestine (e.g., HAMAS) and literally NO ONE supported Israel, the Woke concluded that it is how it SHOULD BE. So, once heard even VERY FEW voices in support of Israel, the Woke snowflakes were 'so offended' by them that perceived it as if the whole world was 'supporting Israel' against them. Yeah, the Woke ignored overwhelming support of their sick pro HAMAS stance in their campuses, in mainstream media, among Leftist politicians and Hollywood actors, among Islamic countries and Muslim immigrants - they TOOK IT ALL FOR GRANTED! While EVERY SINGLE voice for Israel mattered a lot for the Woke, as if it was not just one voice but a thousand voices.
Now, it is pretty easy to see, WHY many Wokesters might indeed believe that they're a 'brave minority supporting Palestine against pro-Israeli majority', while in truth it's not the case. Moreover, the SAME delusion the Woke exhibit with regard to pretty much ALL their other agenda as well. That is, the Woke are convinced they live in pretty 'racist and transphobic society' despite literally EVERYONE supporting Woke trans and race ideology and bullying those who oppose it.
But, again, the Woke take their support FOR GRANTED, as IT SHOULD BE. That's why the Woke cannot be grateful to their supporters as well and can so easily turn on them for every slightest 'apostasy' (like the Woke turned on JK Rowling) - because if you take support for your views for granted, you're kinda NOT GRATEFUL for it, right? But if every opposition is 'the end of the world' to you, naturally, those of your supporters who dared to disagree with you at least on SOMETHING, are now 'worst traitors', right? Because agreement does NOT matter for the Woke, ONLY disagreement does, and this is problematic.
