I disagree that Christians and wokesters have the same interpretation but different casting. It's too vague of an interpretation to say that all Christians must elevate victims up in status.

Many Christians did not elevate people based on their victimhood. What of American fundamentalists that believe, like the Old Testament, it's their duty to kill sinners or to enslave? Or Charlemagne who converted people by the sword?
Christians after the reform can have a different interpretation of justice beyond victimhood. George Floyd was not a good person, having been arrested for pointing a gun at a pregnant woman's belly, and there should not be statues memorializing him. If there's anything symbolic to him, it's that he died saying "I can't breathe," and people were stressed by shutdowns and stupid masks enough to riot.
Beyond its martyr cult, what ought to survive Christianity was its preservation of Logos and a belief in a rational universe. If you can admit Plato's influence on the New Testament, on Thomas Aquinas, and so forth, you would amend to your definition of Christian morality the idea of an individual's pursuit of justice. Americans should refuse the cast system. In India, there are religious sects that wear masks when they walk around so that they do not accidentally breathe in bugs, killing the helpess lifeforms.
We have become a nation of sycophants, less principled and in its mediocrity more unsuspecting of real evil.
Still, that was a fascinating interview a few days ago. Keep up the good work and I hope to see works like these in the future.
