@ChrisMayLA6 needs to be values and right and wrong.
If all is relative, no one is right or wrong. I think the wokeness perhaps, is undermining a stable culture, and taken to its extreme, is undermining democracy itself.
Would you agree?

In response to this post@h4890
with only methods that really belong to an earlier phase of democracy - but now they seem viable again, because the normal routes of reform have become clogged with interest (expressed as wealth).
The only way change will come about is if the young en masse want it and organise for it - individual resistance can halted, mass resistance less so (although for me this is different from 'revolution', I can see some would see them as parallel).
@ChrisMayLA6 Did you ever have this conversation with your students? What made them passionate about democracy?
In terms of wokeness, how can it not undermine democracy? One premise is equality of outcome, which directly leads to an authoritarian system. Another woke tenet is that white males are worthless, which means internal struggle and war between classes, which in turn, does not make for democracy, but a majority oppressing the minority.
