I predict this will soon be labeled woke just like when Amazon tried it. It's woke to not have your head buried in the sand.
We're getting close to the point where the word is getting its original meaning back. It's woke to have your eyes open and be aware of what's going on around you.
When did the original meaning leave? I thought woke had always meant being aware of social issues.
Maybe around the time the right started using it but couldn’t define it then everyone realized it just meant whatever they didn’t like.
With the way that it's been used in the last few years, it was starting to look like 'woke' means when a female character gets treated as anything other than a damsel in distress in superhero movies. Also, 'woke' is when gay people.
And Trump will label those companies as "nasty", "politically motivated", and "woke".
Good
Boycott Amazon!
