That video seemed to be someone lining up snide and unevidenced pejoratives against a broad group of viewpoints and political viewpoints that he didn’t like, I couldn’t assess the accuracy as all he offered were the sweeping unevidenced pejoratives? He was simply coming up with a list of dubious claims and assigning them to everyone who might be considered woke. It was more snide stand-up comedy than accurate political commentary. Again I get it, and have no doubt within that broad spectrum you’d find people who express such facile ideas, and fit the snide stereotype he was peddling, this doesn’t justify labelling everyone within that broad group as holding those same views, he seems to be assuming that the descriptor woke a) fits his own prejudiced views of them, and b) that everyone who falls within that descriptor must hold all the views he has assigned them, and c) that those views can be dismissed or derided simply because he doesn’t like them or is prejudiced against them.
As for finding solutions, well that’s might be extremely difficult or even not practical for many people, does this mean they should let viewpoints that they find pernicious just slide by without comment?
For example, I have no ready panacea for racism or prejudice, so I shouldn’t comment when people make racist comments or tell others racism doesn’t really exist or that nothing can be done about it anyway? Note how those last two directly contradict each other by the way, so be on the lookout for people who use both. Spotting someone violating the law of non contradiction might not eradicate racism, but it certainly exposes a claim as irrational, and people who peddle irrational claims are not using a sound basis to reason from, politically or otherwise. FYI I don’t care which part of the political spectrum such people’s views fall, why would I?

And yet they do the exact opposite.
Do they? All of them? Wouldn’t this simply suggest the term is being applied inaccurately and or dishonestly? Or perhaps the views held within a large group is broader than one persons biased view of it? This sounds like claiming every on the right is a fascist, I have little time for such facile stereotyping as it tells me nothing about what most people think.
So maybe I’d have to hear an individual express a viewpoint before I can assess that viewpoint, and thus making a priori sweeping generalisations isn’t helpful, but then isn’t that what I have been saying all along about preconceived prejudice against certain points on the political spectrum? If this isn’t clear I’ll spell it out, telling me someone is woke and the reeling off claims based solely on that, both the positive and the negative, are pretty meaningless when it comes to assessing their ideas.
