I’m so excited for “woke” to be so oversaturated that it becomes lame and people stop using it, like “Political Correctness” before it. One of the more infuriatingly vague terms in political culture.
I do feel like it’s on the downswing after DeSantis.
a : aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
I will never understand why this 👆is such a bad thing. Personally, I find it complimentary. But then again, I believe in facts and truth, and the betterment of society as a whole.
The meaning of a word doesn’t matter to them. They’re told it’s a bad thing and that they’re to oppose it, like the attack command for a dog that’s been trained to be racist.
It’s why everytime they have a new trigger word like “woke” or “CRT”, there is always a stream of clips of supporters and pundits who can’t articulate what the word means but are staunchly opposed to it anyway.
Within that, there’s probably people who do know what it means, they just can’t say things like “I oppose anyone being empathetic or fair to minorities” out loud, even though that’s exactly their view.
