that's why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness

Hahahah that's what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It's pretty interesting.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Actually in ancient etruscan...

... person meant mask. If you call someone a person, you accuse them of playing a role. Fact.

[-] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 3 points 3 weeks ago

are you saying you're woke on the subject? I thought it was from rap culture.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 7 points 3 weeks ago

It's from black culture. You tell your friends to stay woke so that when the cops stop them for no good reason, they remember to treat the cop like a wild animal and be careful around them. If you're black and you treat a cop like a human being, you'll get shot. So you gotta stay woke.

[-] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah he thinks it means whatever the fuck the American fat right media says it does.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Don’t you dare fix that typo.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's definitely going into my vocab now.

[-] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hahahaha no sir

Especially when they get co-opted by Euro-Americans.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's why the word was co-opted by the Far Right, and popularised as an insult. Otherwise they'd have to say "kind".

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

It actually comes from African-American culture and has a history that's several decades old.
