I know this is a joke, but if this is genuinely how someone thinks, then it so self-absorbed and narrow minded to not be able to step out of your own mindset.

The comment implies absolute good/evil and that people are knowingly acting evil. The people you don't agree with do have consistent moral principles that they are working with (however misguided or skewed they may be). I can't stand racist/sexist people either, but if you can't see how these people are worried that "woke" people are destroying their view of society and threatening their morals, then you won't really be able to engage them to change their minds. This entrenched thinking is why all discourse is now just shouting matches at each other.

Nah, it’s sports team mentality. You can say any reasoned, logical, humanist argument you want, but people will never turn against their “team”.

That is verifiably wrong. Daryl Davies is a black man who has convinced dozens of members of the KKK to renounce their beliefs and their robes. You absolutely can convince people that their beliefs are wrong.

If you have the time, the means, the resources and the will probably. Is it worth it? Most likely not.
