woke just means awake. fucking hell.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Yeah, in this context it means awakened to and aware of bigotry and systemic bigotry, and its effect on people,

There is no definition other than "everything right wingers don't like".

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

Can we not just use the original definition, instead? It worked fine for decades, until right-wingers decided to reinvent it in order to push their propaganda.

flights out of the US start at 20 bucks.

hm.

don't know why Mexico is left out of that general search, but flights to Mexico are 20 bucks also:

OK... could you just drop everything in your life, all your belongings, your job, and more importantly the people you know and care about, your community, and pick up and leave with just what you can carry on a flight?

It's not the cost of travel that keeps people where they are. I've got three siblings, a niece and a nephew, and a bunch of extended family that are worth more to me than the cost of any kind of political strife or economic difficulty.

Very good point ❤️ It's not easy to uproot yourself.

"OK… could you..."

Me? Sure. Did, as far as you mean.

I don't recommend others leave everything behind when there's no want or reason for it, though.

Common misunderstandings of travel are that you can't take your life with you, and that your life is statically limited to your possessions, job and relationships.

"...worth more to me..."

great!

You'll turn into the top one over time, or you'll be a coward

It's not mutually exclusive. Just the driving motivation.
