You are absolutely right about polarization. The death of dialogue is a great malaise of our time. How is it possible that "woke," which means being of aware of social justice, could become pejorative in its usage? I have defended "cancel culture," even though I recognize the expression is too broadly applied to have any definitive meaning, because it is most frequently a complaint of privileged communicators, bemoaning the opposition of those with a less privileged access to the media.

I am wary of invoking "values" in any discussion of politics. I admire your judicious separation of the two. http://www.thesourgrapevine.com/2021/07/virtues-vices-and-values.html
