Wokeness is not really about justice of any kind ("social" or otherwise). Ultimately, it is actually about money, power, and status - and "equity" is the term used by the Woke to denote their desired distribution of money, power, and status.
Any such distribution, of course, will require the ranking of groups of "victims" into hierarchies. This produces a sort of "Victimization Olympics" wherein the gold medalists will receive the most money, power, and status, the silver medalists the next most money, power, and status, and so forth. Unsurprisingly, given the stakes, the resulting competition among victim-group "teams" can be even fiercer (and much nastier) than that found in any championship sporting event.
This, in turn, leads to a pronounced tendency among the Woke to devour themselves in throes of self-cannibalization, in which mere opposition to "whiteness" is not sufficient to satiate their voracious appetites. I recently made note of this phenomenon in another thread:
I have since encountered and posted elsewhere other examples of this behavior, but it would be nice to have a single locus in which to collect them.
Thus, I am starting this thread as a place to gather examples of the Woke eating each other.
I'll start by adding posts below this one for those other examples I mentioned.
Feel free to add your own, If you come across any.
Let the schadenfreude flow ...

The Woke are thoroughgoingly racialist bigots, and their entire way of thinking depends critically upon their sense of having been victimized by others. Presently, they are generally united in opposition to the bête noire of "whiteness" - but if they ever do "dismantle whiteness", they will begin to turn on and devour each other.
In fact, it's already starting to happen. I can't find the reference, but several months ago, I came across a story about Woke activists in the southwest falling out with one another. The rift occurred over the issue of which subset from among them was the more pitiable group of victims. It seems that the Native American activists felt that their black comrades bore some degree of taint for being "colonial" oppressors (albeit unwilling ones) because their heritage is not "native." Meanwhile, the black activists were convinced of their superior victimization status because of slavery and the premise that black "bodies" rank higher than "red" lands in the hierarchy of dispossessions.
I have since encountered and posted elsewhere other examples of this behavior, but it would be nice to have a single locus in which to collect them.
