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.
Reminder that woke was originally used as a positive term.
Still is if you aren't a twat
Also a reminder that woke is used negatively by the same people who cannot tell the difference between badly photoshopped letters and a gang tattoo.
I think it's wild that the word 'woke' entirely replaced the selective outrage on the 2010s over "CRT," a bogyman that most white conservatives still cannot define.
My stupid ass: "why did the conservatives have an issue with Cathode Ray Tube TVs?"
Lol, yeah that was constantly the problem I had back then, especially since MAGA was using "CRT" as the scare word, and not nothing to mention that it means "Critical Race Theory," a phrase well in-line with other subjects in other fields, like Biblical Critical Theory.
Because super smash brothers is woke
See also: politically correct (PC) and social justice warrior (SJW)...all just fancy ways to call someone a commie pinko bleeding heart socialist. The Red Scare never really stopped, and neither did the Lavender Scare
No reminder needed for me, but for those who might want to do a deep dive:
I wince any time someone says something like "Wake up!", "Take the red pill!" etc.
It invariably means "Start believing the shite I believe"
Whoa, fuck yeah Linus Torvalds
On top of all of that he used "I couldn't care less" correctly.
I'm just impressed they used 'couldn't care less' correctly.
english as a second language tend to be more careful with their usage of idioms
Man, fuck english idioms. Will never get over how "that's shit" = bad but "that's the shit" = good
Greater brevity: "Holy fuck!" Something bad happened. "Holy fuck!" Something awesome happened.
The opposite of being woke is being asleep and oblivious to what's going on. It's crazy people say they aren't woke and think that's like a good thing lol.
It's like saying "I'm a fucking idiot" and being smug about it
It's easier too. You don't gotta constantly be vigilant for the next way the woke industrial complex is trying to indoctrinate you. Because they won.
They go me already. We're doing unisex bathrooms? Ok then. Eighty new variants of pride flag just dropped yesterday? Well there's a lot of new colour combos I'll forget in 30 seconds but alright. Pronouns can be wholly silent, like the P in Pterodactyl? I cannot comprehend how that works but sure it literally will never affect me in a negative way.
If you're not woke your eyes are closed
Petition to rename Twitter again, to Twatter. I know, I know, my intellect is frightening sometimes. /s
There are people who have not called it Twatter from day one? Huh...
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
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 😢
Oh god... Imagine actually accepting tolerance.
I swear that "woke" is what these fucking troglodytes say when they know they've lost an argument. It's like some sort of primal defense mechanism.
I agree that wokeness is more enlightened than ignorance, but I also wonder how woke it is to scorn the less enlightened so hard.
So conservatives version of this is their deweaponization of the word nazi? Fuck this timeline.
