Calling civil rights by any other name does them a disservice. When you call civil rights, as civil rights, people tend to notice. And react in kind.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
