If you had to define the term "woke", how would you put it?

The consensus on Reddit is if/when a conservative is approached with this question, they're left with a dumb look on their face.

They also fail to provide an example of "wokeism".

"A mental illness that divides people into different levels of two groups, oppressors and oppressed, based off of skin color, political views, and perceived grievances."

Seeing everything through a racial lens that assumes black and brown people are always the oppressed and white people always are the oppressors.

*Bonus points for being poor.

A broad term to encompass the rise and mainstreaming of obscure grievance critical theory concepts (fat studies, CRT, queer studies, etc.) which has coincided with a rise in the felt impacts of these things in everyday life (corporate/academic DEI, government backing of the trans movement).

Woke - We are kangs and quanes. White people are the enemy, and everything is racist.

Completely departed from previously existing mainstream morals, norms, and values.

I'd say that it's generally well-off white people from predominantly white areas pretending to save minorities while also voting people into office who push policies that are harmful to minorities.

Person using it has a low IQ and can not generate an original thought in their head.

Libs of TikTok looked like a total moron when asked to define woke while giving a speech. She's made her whole brand about fighting wokeness but the best she could come up with was "uhh, well... um"

Woke is a dismissal of reality to force a planned social/political reality into "understood" existence. Those who buy in are considered intellectuals. Those who do not are ostracized.

Examples... gender as an psychological construct, race swapping popular and sometimes historical figures, historical fantasies like the 1619 project, projecting macho male stereotypes onto females as a rule while feminizing men in popular culture, race quotas, minority grievance copes like white privilege, the patriarchy and white supremacy, corporate DEI...

In short, Reddit is a hive of moronic communists that, as usual, don't know their collective head from their front-hole.

I'd say its "an overcorrection of inequality that doesn't really exist"

Woke is the culture arm of the statists where grievances have been weaponized to divide and deliver more centralized power.

Intolerant of individual beliefs.

Ironic, isn’t it?
