Not only that, but if you tell the village idiot they're being an idiot you become a villageidiotiophobe.

People are afraid to set boundaries for fear of getting cancel cultured or harassed by a woke tolerance mob. All disagreement is now "toxic behavior" on social media channels. Arguing over perspectives is now sometimes branded with the extreme label of gaslighting. Day by day our Overton window continues to shift, and yet we were all told the slippery slope was supposedly a fallacy.

Ironically I feel your beliefs about this stem from whatever bubble you yourself are in. No normal person goes around afraid of being "attacked by a woke mob". This is some stories you've been told, and blindly believe, from the other side.
This is not the case. Companies for one do enforce woke culture. I believe GP wasn't talking about being physically attacked by a mob, rather their reputation and livelihood
What is "woke culture" and how is it "enforced"?
What demographics do you consider the "Village Idiots" here?
Is "people who view the world and their identity only through demographics" a demographic? Because it's almost always them.
Found the village idiot. Great now i'm a villageidiotaphobe.

Please take the above as a meta joke. I shouldn't have have to say it, but this is the world we live in.
