“#Woke activists hurt cause with ‘self-righteous toxicity’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Woke activists often ruin their own causes with \u201cnarcissism\u201d and \u201cself-righteous toxicity,\u201d a left-wing UK think tank said Monday.<\/p>\n

The Fabian Society, a \u201cdemocratically governed socialist society<\/a>\u201d founded in 1884, warned in a pamphlet published Monday <\/a>that petty in-fighting often gets in the way of progressives winning what it deems \u201cculture wars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rage many progressives feel about the inequality and injustice that disfigure our society is not merely understandable and legitimate \u2013 it can be actively helpful as a source of collective inspiration and personal resilience,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

However, \u201cthe point at which it tips from a strength into a weakness is when righteous anger becomes self-righteous toxicity,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

The report warned that woke activists often prove \u201cdivisive\u201d when \u201cactivists for social<\/a> justice splinter into factions more obsessed with one another than ending the injustice that is their common cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of winning support, that often leaves \u201cthe watching audience \u2026 alienated and confused by jargon-filled debates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs activists retreat to echo chambers \u2026 a narcissism of small differences effect is almost inevitable,\u201d the group warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorse, it also actively harms the very people whose voices most need to be heard and listened to on sensitive questions of identity,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if the tricks do not manage to convince every member of the audience, they can leave some onlookers feeling exhausted and wishing a plague on both sides\u2019 houses,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

The report \u2014 titled \u201cCounter Culture: how to resist the culture wars and build 21st Century solidarity\u201d \u2014 also warned of the \u201cperpetually outraged\u201d who \u201cprofit \u2026 from the cacophony of the culture wars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody \u2014 most of all progressives \u2014 can afford for relationships to become poisoned in this way, because the challenges of the 2020s are simply too big for any group or segment of society to deal with them alone,\u201d the Fabian Society warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we have seen in the first year of this devastating pandemic, only solidarity \u2013 inside countries and between them \u2013 offers real security.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
