AMMO GRRRLL says to fight back with ridicule, which unfortunately probably won't work. Ridicule requires the target be minimally self-aware, a characteristic sadly lacking in the wokesters.

EXPERTS (!?): Elderly should be at the back of the line for the coronavirus vaccine because they're 'too white'. (And too old?)

'Expert' is progressive Newspeak for 'idiot'.
