Sounds like you are trying to restrict freedom of speech by saying people can’t disapprove of what others say...
FYI, I disapprove of "gammon" as much as "woke" and "lefties", because, as I said earlier, it’s name-calling, not debating.
You move the Overton Window your way, then accuse people who used to be called "moderates" lefties.

A key difference is that the terms "woke", "Liberal", and "left" come from those groups themselves. They can't very well complain about using labels, they themselves created.
Eg May sound surprising, but the term "woke" originated with those that refer to themselves as being "woke". "Woke" people refer to themselves as that, as a "badge of honour", not a criticism. They use it to set themselves apart, and on a supposedly "higher" plane. By implication they are disparaging those they consider not to be "woke".
