Woke-ism has gone beyond all bounds of sense and reasonableness. No-platforming; excision of our history and associated vandalism; Churchill was a murderer, etc. "They". It's too much.

Yeah, it's 'where is the line' that's the big question. People like to trade in absolutes. Using your example Churchill, he was a great wartime leader but not faultless or beyond reproach. His actions during the Bengal famine for example were pretty poor.
