You are a collectivist no better in many ways than woke leftists, IMO. To you I am "you people," a stand-in for some faceless group, not an individual. I'm not "finally changing" because I've never needed to. When I first became politically involved at all, I voted for the party considered to be ultra super duper right wing in my country.  I've always hated woke talk about oppression and privilege exactly because it is based on nothing but assumptions due to group identity.
