Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.
Saying a person is woke is like saying they are not a mindless sheep going through life asleep at the wheel.
Yeah seriously I'll never understand how it's an insult. Conservatives call having empathy "woke" and I'm like "yes, yes it is woke. Your point?".
it's basically everything you need to know about them
But they call people on the left sheep? How can this be true? /s
The same people also see being "progressive" as a bad thing. I swear, if they had they way, we still be amazed at the sight of fire while living in our caves.
Yeah but have you noticed how despite the fact that they normally hate progress and change because it makes their control harder, they're utterly obsessed with AI.
Just saw the recent south park episode- absolutely killed. Poor Cartman is nothing withoutout the woke 😢
I agree that wokeness is more enlightened than ignorance, but I also wonder how woke it is to scorn the less enlightened so hard.
I'm sure someone is somewhere grappling with that.
Since the politicians they support and voted in are actively dismantling the government, erecting a dictatorship, and enacting policies guaranteed to get people needlessly killed I don't find myself burdened by such concerns.
So conservatives version of this is their deweaponization of the word nazi? Fuck this timeline.
I'm fine with ignorants and some twats, but not both at once.
