To focus the question: is it prudent for conservative dissidents to speak out against 'woke' madness? That depends. This will help you think it through. I wrote below:
In the present political climate, if I exercise my right to free speech I may lose the right. Use it and lose it. This is because vast numbers nowadays do not recognize any such right. For these people, dissent is hate; so if your speech is dissenting speech it is hate speech, which cannot be tolerated. Dissent is hate, and hate is violence, and violence is racism! Of course, dissent is not hate, and hate is not violence, etc. but these truths are irrelevant in an age of groupthink and mass delusion. Truth is passé in the Age of Feeling. So if you speak your mind calmly, reasonably, and with attention to facts, but sail against the prevailing winds, you may find yourself de-platformed, 'cancelled,' and put on a watch list of dissidents, and perhaps a 'no fly' list. After all, conservatives are 'potential terrorists.' And white conservatives are of course 'white supremacists.'
On the other hand, if you don't exercise your rights, you may as well not have them.
There are ways between the horns of this dilemma but they will vary from case to case.
Try to become financially independent as soon as possible by a combination of hard work, frugal living, and wise saving and investing. Then the tyrants won't be able to 'cancel' your livelihood so easily. They can, of course, still 'cancel' your life. Would they? Well, if they have no problem stripping you of your livelihood because of the exercise of your rights, what is likely to stop them from going all the way?
