> Im basing this on the fact that anti-woke usually is considered right-wing/libertarian etc

Maybe in your mind but not mine. Good liberals are anti-woke because woke is anti-liberal. It's a coercive force that any decent person should be against. At least anyone who critically examines it and the methods it uses to manipulate and gain unjust and unearned power over others.

I think societally, at least from popular media that’s what I understand.

I personally agree with you wholeheartedly but I think your opinion is in the minority

Conflating liberalism with moral decency is why we oppose y'all to begin with, btw.
Woke's are completely morally incoherent and no better than the Catholic inquisitors. Just a godless and soulless version of it suited to the modern day as it's people that think they are an authority on morality and decency and have some special insight into it that legitimizes their coercive methods to assume a better perch, without merit, in the social hierarchy they claim to hate.

People like you have always existed, suited in different skins, based on whatever gullible plebs could fall for or cowards could be frightened into.

Well you definitely have that certainty of your own righteousness we all know and love.

It's funny that you mention religion, because yes I am a christian and so I understand that one day I will stand before god in judgement of my actions. I have no certainty that I am able to do what is required of me, only that I must try and this is what drives me to fight for "the least of these." Why do you lick the boot?
