There, much better...
There is and never has been anything race-specific about tyranny.
Jer. 11:18-20. "The Kingdom of God has come upon you." -- Matthew 12:28
Once a white person gets to stage 8, they must confess to being "color blind" with respect to races. Logically, they cannot fit the definition given without doing so.
But then, when they do that, they will immediately be reminded that such color blindness is actually impossible and is a hallmark of their white privilege, at which point they will be shuffled back down to one of the lower stages, ad infinitum, like a social identity Sisyphus.
There's nothing in the definition of "White Abolitionist" that requires "color-blindness" [1] - just the opposite, in fact.
White Abolitionism, as defined, requires conscious awareness of "whiteness" so that it can be "dismantled" (i.e., destroyed).
The Woke explicitly reject color-blindness and would categorize it as symptomatic of level(s) 1, 2, 3 and/or 4.
Color-blindness is characteristic of "equality" (as in, for example, "equality under the law"), for which the Woke also have no use.
Instead, they fetishize "equity" which requires awareness of color so that racialized inequities (which they say are systemic and always favor "whiteness") can be eliminated.
IOW: The Woke are driven by race-obsessed bigotry. They have no truck with color-blindness (or any other form of racial neutrality).
[1] And even if there was, the proponents of this vicious nonsense wouldn't care. They regard insistence on respect for logic as an expression of oppressive "whiteness."
OK, but the result after having dismantled whiteness would be color-blindness, that is the cessation of categorizing people in racial categories of which "white" is one. Granted, I see that this would only be the result that a "white abolitionist" is aiming toward, and not necessarily something they claim to have achieved.
Nevertheless, even if this state is only a desired end that defines the trajectory and not a result that can be achieved within the scheme itself, I have a hunch that the makers of that graphic may not have seen how they may be shooting themselves in the foot. I don't believe that abolition of whiteness is really want they want if they're honest with themselves.
I agree. Hence the conundrum I observed.

Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him. - Aristotle's Politics Book 5 Part 11
Call me a White Supremacist then and be done with it.
This stuff is the language of genocide, working up momentum.

But that would not be the result. The Woke categorically and explicitly reject color-blindness, period (and not just color-blindness as practiced by white people).
The Woke do not seek the "cessation of categorizing people in racial categories" - because (among other things) such color-blindness would "erase" their "lived experience."
The Woke are thoroughgoingly racialist bigots, and their entire way of thinking depends critically upon their sense of having been victimized by others. Presently, they are generally united in opposition to the bête noire of "whiteness" - but if they ever do "dismantle whiteness", they will begin to turn on and devour each other.
In fact, it's already starting to happen. I can't find the reference, but several months ago, I came across a story about Woke activists in the southwest falling out with one another. The rift occurred over the issue of which subset from among them was the more pitiable group of victims. It seems that the Native American activists felt that their black comrades bore some degree of taint for being "colonial" oppressors (albeit unwilling ones) because their heritage is not "native." Meanwhile, the black activists were convinced of their superior victimization status because of slavery and the premise that black "bodies" rank higher than "red" lands in the hierarchy of dispossessions.
But it's not a conundrum with respect to "White Abolitionism" because color-blindness is denied and rejected at that level.
Think of "White Supremacy" (level 1) as Hell, and "White Abolitionism" (level 8) as Heaven, with gradations of Purgatory (the other levels) between.
There is no "shuffl[ing] back down to one of the lower stages" nor any endless cycle, because color-blindness is a sin to be purged altogether, not a virtue from which the impurity of "whiteness" is to be cleansed.

I don't see "White Don'tgiveashitsanist" on the list.
I tried telling a group of black Americans just before wokeism (prior to Trump being elected) took hold that I saw them as humans, or individuals, before their skin color.
Their reaction, I joke you not, was that I was racist for doing so. They proceeded to lecture me that I needed to see them and ID them as black before anything else.
It was at that point that I realized there are at least two realities in the U.S., if not the world. It was also then that I realized there was something deep seated going on. 2020 brought a lot of it out to the forefront and it's been made clear that this is all a marxist ploy to take down individuals and white Americans ala Agenda 21, etc.
Whites, historically, have a natural propensity to be rebellious and whites are the face of "American rugged individualism." That is what is being rooted out as the last hold of freedom in this world, I think.
Call me racist for typing this out, it makes no difference anymore. We're racist for saying things we never said or believed in, we're racist for saying things that have no racial connotation, etc. The bastardization of language is nearly complete.

I don't see where you have any right to judge any man, wyman or queeer perrrson you cisgender $#@!lord.
You will accept them all as yourequalbetters, and if the local NAMBLA chapter needs some volunteers to "take one for the team", well, bigot, send your 8 year old son their way, because love is love.

Technically an actual ethical Civil War era Abolitionist is White Confessional on this scale in that they assume injustice can be corrected?
Hush. They're trying to erase that piece of history by using the word abolitionist to describe something besides abolitionists.
How can they foment division and rancor between those races if people like you educate the children with the fact that slavery was abolished by white people?
Do you honestly think racial harmony is their true objective? Really?
WTF is this $#@!?
I like being a white person. I like to do white person things with other white people. There is nothing wrong with that. I don't hate anyone and don't bring harm to anyone else.
I dislike the racists and supremacists, like KKK/Arayan nations/ stormfront crown. What they do is wrong. But if we are being honest here I don't really have any quarrel with the white nationalists. You know the ones who just want to live in bum $#@! Idaho with only other white people. That doesn't harm anyone.
The ones who want to force this multiculturalism on everyone are just as bad as the racists.
As a further thought, the 1800s leaders of the Abolitionist movement on this scale, are White Critical.
Most voters in 1860 were White Benefit, even voters in the North who went to Honest Abe, nearly
every Segregationist from 1870 onward is White Privilege, they have an innate racism but may not
be harsh or cruel in their private lives, sometimes they may act like White Voyeurism or Supremacy.
Flip side of the coin, White Traitor and White Abolitionist are rare in the history books, only a handful
of the leaders of the Abolitionists were this thorough or severe. Civil Rights in the 20rh Century sought
a redress, a correcting of an injustice. Today's radicalism can be shrill. The historic conflict has been
where White Critical takes on White Privilege. Radicalism implies a utopian/dystopian "theology" often.

i know.... i become a White Voyeur if i play any vintage jazz records that have
artists who might be African-American, even if the band is racially mixed?
If this scale is part of a school curriculum, where were the textbooks published
at that they were going by? I assume there is a school committee behind it.

Ray Smith's show was excellent but Arnold Olean's show on the old WBQQ in Maine was even better.
Alas, I've lost touch with him, the station is defunct and there appear to be no archives anywhere online.

lacking rational explanation
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
