The only op-ed writer left worth reading at Stuff, Martin van Beynen signed off today:
As an opinion writer, it's easier to identify what you oppose rather than what you support. I don't like being told I'm to blame. I don't like zealots and young know-nothings telling me what to do. I don't like wokeness or virtue signalling or cancelling people for some trivial perceived infringement of current sensibilities. I don't like being told I'm privileged or that I had it too good because of being pale and male. I don't like tailoring my views to suit a new zeitgeist. I don't like the implication that everything done to improve people’s lives prior to the latest orthodoxy has been a disastrous failure and that some new system will bring in a utopia.
So there's another voice looking for a new home.
They are piling up.

Rather says it all, doesnt he!! So sad.
I too am over being called "privileged" as an insult because I won't agree with the woke supremacy.
They want to pick over the sordid details of your life so they can deem you worthy, then if you don't agree apparently "you should know better".
This is what happens when newspeak is enforced.
Nothing else is valid.
