"Wokeness" assumes that they and their fellow travelers are the only ones who know the Truth. It is not a political movement, but a religious one. Like most religions, it is intolerant of any other gods.
Your conclusion is correct.

Wokeness preys on people's guilt about not being tolerant. So no, wokeness cannot coexist with tolerance.

Seems to me coexistence implies tolerance...so...is wokeness antithesis to tolerance?

Yes, "wokeness" is a form of shaming.

Wokeness is the antithesis of tolerance. In fact, most of the Left's world view isn't tolerant of differing opinions.

As computer guys, I guess we are entitled to thinking in binary. It is either 0 or 1, off or on.
Analog guys (actually, 40 years ago there were analog computers as well!) are prepared to handle intermediate values. You can be tolerant up to a point. Maybe more in some areas than in others. Conversely, you go the woke line only so far, you do not go to extremes.
Neither woke nor tolerance is absolute. You should strive to understand where your limits are for either of them. Then spend some time pondering whether you really have good enough reasons to justify these limits.

Wokeness is not a word. Being woke means you were asleep. As for the rest of us, we were always awake.

Wow - how many words do you want to apply this to? How far back are you wanting to go. The tens of thousands of words that never existed before say 1900? How about the riduculous number of words that culture have modified over the last few decades - many of which mean exactly the opposite of their original meaning.
Or is it just 'woke' that you have trouble with?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Not a dictionary word. It's an ugly non-word in the jargon family.

People can only tolerate something negative. Nobody has to tolerate anything neutral or positive. So no, tolerance is not a good value.

So when someone hold a viewpoint that differs from yours, the other guy is wrong and you can't cooperate?

Understanding and acceptance are much better than tolerance. Tolerance will end at a certain point: you will tolerate cold, pain, hunger and annoyance, until you won't. But if you understand the point of the opter people and accept it, there is no point in the future when this will end - until they move the goalpost, obviously.

There's no discussion, and it ain't important.
There's real problems that need adressing; renaming my favourite sauce ain't gonna help in any way.

It always amused me why anyone would name the ability to open Control Panel as "God Mode"?
|
|
|
|

Haven't seen it since Vista days, but I just remember it as a convenient way into assorted settings. Nothing you couldn't get at in some more convoluted way.

You mean, pre-Vista, where everybody was running everything in admin mode?

Oh. That control panel thing. Yeah, it's still around.
