The "woke" all have the same opinions and aggressively attack any deviation. It acts like a parasite or virus that contains a payload of dogma replicating itself from host to host. It turns rational people into zombies, so mind virus describes it very well. Challenges to the dogma are considered dangerous as it threatens the ability for the virus to spread.

You're right that the virus could be a different variant, like the anti-woke variant, and it'd be a problem too if it parasitized as many brains.
