> For sake of argument, what if the answer truly is "do it quietly"?

Then why is the richest man in the world buying a social media platform? Why is Bezos buying newspapers?

Why are christian preachers shouting at everyone all the time?

Why are republican think tanks and lobbysits spending their entire career fighting tooth and nail against public education and healthcare?

Why are those preachings not demonised, or considered a problem and why is no one asking them to do it quietly?

> Except I don't think these tactics are effective at all

The loudest president of all time just won re election despite being a convicted felon, he will walk next week into the white house with his wife the ex playboy model voted by Evangelicals who say gay people are the devil.

Idk it seems like empirically the attempts to demonise wokeness as a loud abbrasive movement that "doesnt work" is an attempt to disuade the fact that it DOES work the only issue is one side is much much much louder due to owning the means of communication and can create consent around their behaviour.

Or is Zuck coming out and saying " we need more masculine energy" and removing all DEI iniatives at FB a week before trump takes office not the same kind of pandering behaviour just "anti woke"? Or Elon talking about how we need "Christian values", when he has 11 children from 7 women, 3 of whom worked for him, he has more money than god and wont share it with any good causes, while he buys a social media platform to force everyone to hear each one of his brain farts not the same kind of pandering?

That aint quiet, subtle or living anyones best life. Yet PG is not writting an essay about their behaviour, or calling that pandering and katowing to anti intellectualism which is a much worse cause than social justice btw
