It’s just more of the far left tinkering with the English language ie. homophobe, social justice advocate etc.
It supposed to indicate that “woke” people have “awakened”, opened their eyes and ears to the “truth”. Only it’s not really the “truth” it’s the lefty progressive definition of the truth which is almost always in reality a lie.
It’s by definition condescending to not be “woke” to their so called “truths” as it implies all who are not are asleep or living under a rock or whatever as they are blissfully unaware of “THEIR REALITY”
In other words those that believe their finitely spun, erroneous and tortured rational are “enlightened” and those that don’t fall for their crap are ignorant dolts.
“What does woke mean?”
It means, ultimately, that you want conservatives dead, particularly if they’re white men.
But interim measures, are acceptable as long as they continue to ratchet up towards that goal. These include forced re-education, labor camps, etc.
And don’t laugh, history is LOADED with examples of targeted people simply thinking it could never happen to them...until it actually happened to them (think Jews in Europe, Christians in Armenia, educated people under Chairman Mao and Pol Pot, high-ranking Soviets who Stalin liquidated, and soon the remaining whites in South Africa).
Agree and dox ?
they pay the NY Times guy over $6 million!!!???
Please excuse my bluntness, but a saying I picked up from returning from Nam in the early 70’s makes the term WOKE just as relevant today as it was back then. Just can’t get it out of my head.
WOKE = “Commie, Hippie, Pinko, Faget”
he thing I resent the most is the plethora of companies that engage in what I would call “subliminal social justice propaganda” in their advertising. Apparently they think that showing happy couples of various pairings in the forefront or background that are far beyond their percentage in the population is a way of encouraging positive feelings in the “other” majority population.
Is it really necessary to sell “Transitions” sunglasses with a commercial full of folks that we may imply are ‘transitioning transgenders”???? I get it, but I will be part of the majority that avoids their products simply because I resent their “woke subliminal social justice” attempt to influence me. Who doesn’t love a sweet little girl going to the sweet shop with her dad in a commercial. But is this an unspoken woke social justice attempt to increase bi-racial unions? How about a bi-racial wedding? Since bi-racial couples still have some way to go to become a large part of the population and they do face some bias against them from both races, how many attempts to promote bi-racial couples is enough before a backlash occurs?
I’ve never heard those terms woke before.. Until now or just lately.. Never heard that term when I came back from Nam in 1969..
“Woke” is roughly the same age as “intersectionality.”
Neither existed as such during VN.
