Woke Split Personality and Schizophrenia
Woke Real Life and Online Behavior are Strikingly Different
Actually, when I'm remembering Woke students with whom I had studied together in Finland, at our university they were not at all like those nasty psychotic bullies whom I daily face in the Internet now. In the contrary, they were actually very nice and agreeable people (maybe even TOO MUCH, but we'd talk of it later). But when I added them as friends on Facebook, I noticed how DRASTICALLY their personality changes online, on social media. On their Facebook pages, they were not those nice smiling agreeable people with whom I drank ciders any longer but raging psychos, rabid dogs, much more reminiscent of the classic Wokesters we all know.
I recall how this huge difference shocked me. I even thought for a moment that maybe I added different people as friends by some weird mishap. But nope, those were the same smiling nice students I remembered from university, completely transformed into rabid dogs on their social media profiles. This change was SO DRASTIC that really reminded me of split personality disorder or schizophrenia. Mind you, I still believe that the Woke have some traits of psychotic personality (and that was even proved by research), some basics of split personality and schizophrenia as well. It's one big problem with these people.
How does this split personality comes into existence? Simple. In truth, the Woke aren't that brave and straightforward as they might believe themselves to be. That is, they would NEVER muster courage to say to your FACE all the shit they're saying to you on social media. Hiding behind the screen, emboldened by thousands of their clone followers who dumbly echo every their word, they feel themselves much braver and almost omnipotent indeed. No wonder they get so unhinged. But put them alone before your face - and all their 'courage' would be instantly gone, and they'd turn into those meek and 'nice' people whom I remember from our university cider gatherings.
But this raises a logical question - are Woke that nice people indeed if they're capable of such shit online, or are they just hypocrites and cowards? The answer is both, and it's complex. Ofc, cowardice and hypocrisy is a huge part of it. Woke could bully only from behind the screen, and even that only when they have hordes of their clone followers to support them. On their own, and in real life, they can't do shit.
But this does not explain their NICETY though. Yeah, Wokies might lack guts to abuse their opponents in real life, but they don't have to pretend to be overly nice with them either, so why? And here is another interesting Woke personality trait comes into play - their exaggerated NICETY. What is that exactly?
The point is that for some reason the Woke do not bear a thought that someone might thought them to be NOT nice, but mean and nasty people - that's a huge damage to their reputation. And not just that - I believe these people genuinely try to be good, and to hurt another person even slightly with their words is unacceptable for them. So they'd avoid it at any cost and be as nice and polite as possible.
But if that is the case, how the Woke cold be SO NASTY from behind the screen? Again, it's EASIER to dehumanize another person from behind the screen, when you don't see their face and don't hear their voice. It's easier to imagine they're bad people, and it's easier to hurt them as well.
Hence, there are TWO main reasons which account for Woke split personality - their cowardice and their nicety. Both cowardice and nicety prevent Wokesters from being mean in real life, but they don't restrain them online, when they don't see real humans before themselves, and wouldn't get an immediate retribution like punch in their face for their nastiness either. Simple, again.
I think MOST people have false courage online and the anonymity/distance makes people inclined to be especially antisocial... but there's definitely an element of mob psychology at play when it comes to social justice. Woke people don't just believe you're wrong-they believe you're a bigot, even if they know you personally (and therefore know better). Their worldview demands this. If all Trump voters weren't xenophobes and transphobes (etc.) then social justice types would have to grapple with the REAL motivations behind their beliefs and would have to consider the points that are actually being made. It's much easier to strawman their opponents and dismiss them out of hand. Ask a woke person why anti-CRT bills have passed in Florida, or legislation limiting youth gender surgery is in consideration across the country, and you will never hear anything about the racist beliefs of the CRT ideology or their push to segregate students according to race or the rising rates of de-transitioners or the ruinously high gender dysphoria diagnosis rates among autistic and anxious teenage girls. They don't know about these things and they don't want to hear about them. It's much easier to just attribute all disagreement to moral values and dismiss all other beliefs out of hand.
