I don't consume much right-wing content. This is mostly from interacting with people online who identify as left wing/woke, e.g. on Reddit, Twitter and TikTok.

Have you considered that those aren't the best places to get a good sense of the rational argument behind increased awareness of social inequalities? All the described platforms skew toward younger audiences and ineffective moderation - you were likely talking to literal children trying to come to terms with their inability to reconcile their morality with their environment, especially from areas that skew conservative.

When I said actual leftist content I meant, pick an example of a person identifying as woke whose view you don't share, then vet your position by investigating the opposing argument and reflect on whether that person was offering a fair and balanced representation of that argument. If it isn't, then you can't attribute their slant to the school of thought they claim to represent solely based on your subjective experience reading comments on social media.
