By all means, Bill Kristol, do not give up your "right to be woke." But do understand, as a lengthy essay from Quillette sets forth, the deeply disturbing ways in which wokeness "breaks with our liberal-democratic constitutional tradition":

"The term 'wokeness' identifies our hypersensitive, invasive, censorious, punitive, and pedantically moralising social and political order—a scheme that divides groups against one another in the name of 'social justice.' Its questionableness is signalled by the many ways it breaks with our liberal-democratic constitutional tradition: it champions the identities of groups, not the rights of individuals; it obliterates the boundary between public and private; it harnesses the state to legislate morality, not to protect liberty; it demands respect and is dissatisfied with mere toleration; and it stirs people up where the liberal tradition tries to calm them down. It has upended our understanding of something as basic to human life as 'sex' or 'gender,' and in political initiatives like the 1619 Project, would make contempt for modern life a kind of virtue."
