If she could read, she'd be very upset.

In case you wonder, this is the original definition of woke:

To be aware of and point out systemic discrimination. Particularly, but not exclusively, racism.

That's literally it. That's what the fascists are so terrified of: people being aware and telling others about the bigotry they're fomenting and codifying.

Synonym is two words similar. Antonym are two words opposite.

They could also do it less organically by just following some of the teachings of that Jesus guy they love so much.

That Jesus guy who said to rigorously follow the law, punishing those who step out of line, bringing religious rule to those who do not follow God's word?

To be fair, he DID say "some", not "all" 🤷

Magical sky fairy's self-son had both good and bad ideas. The point is that the people who pretend to worship him and then behave like the ones who killed him are bigots and hypocrites

First off, no hard feelings here. I have been a Christian for a very long time, but that's not the point. Just wanted to clear the air before I go on.

It is easy to take Christianity and make it self serving. Having been a member of a generic Christian Church in the past, supply side Jesus is very real.

I'm not going to pretend I don't have my head up my ass around certain issues, but most of what Christians are being taught are old testament and then selected passages from Jesus' followers. What is missing is the golden rule (fucking respect others, okay?), the parts where it says to not seek money (prosperity is bullshit, it's about actual spiritual growth), to do good without calling attention to yourself, and that everyone is fundamentally equal.

It's super easy to take the Bible and make it say whatever you want. The Jesus I follow actually would agree with most of the seven tenants of the Satanic Temple.

Best way I've seen christ mocked, stealing this for explaining to other anglicans why not everyone just buys into the faith, and why that's okay.

Awareness

Yep.

enlightened mind

Maturity to realize that not everyone looks like you

Oh my god, yes!

I used to think these people were willfully blind, but now I think they can't do any better.
