This is the left’s new gotcha. They want you to define their goofy ideology for them so they can claim your definition isn’t the right definition and deny the existence of said ideology.

Yep, its like "trans". No such thing. You don't need an adjective in front of man or woman, you are one or the other.

By calling them "trans" you are playing into the mentally ill game that they actually exist.

Honestly I wouldn’t play that game. Mostly because it’s actually a good linguistic trick by them, as usual as it’s the only thing in their entire lives they are good at. The word woke has become too broad to define what it needs to mean and I think that’s the position of most normies.

Woke; The belief in anything that is counter to historical norms regardless of any basis rooted in fact, statistics or logic.

For me, its the the moment activism crosses the line into oppression.

Its one thing to advocate for a cause, but when you begin to silence, harass, oppress, discriminate, or cancel those who disagree with you - you ARE the tyrant you seek to destroy.

Didn't the left already write books on this where they defined woke themselves?

If you believe in supernatural things like 300 year of trauma trapped in your DNA, then you are woke.

If you believe in supernatural things like a man can become a woman, you are woke.

To me, woke is suppressed self-loathing. It's almost anything that is anti-American. Just look at all the ways it manifests in the belief that what's true is false and what's false is true.

My definition: Pseudo-scientific, virtue signaling bullshite that is at best a waste of time and at worst results in unjustified, unnecessary physical harm. The main subjects are “systemic racism,” “environmental justice,” and “gender identity.”

right. its redefining your failures and shortcomings as victimization, then demanding society acquiesce in some way to atone for it. Its conveniently done primarily along the race and class lines already established by the American political left.

That’s the problem with wokeism and why it’ll never ever stop on it’s own.


Wokeness is based in the term related to “being awakened” to the social aspects of our world that need changing. This of course means that if you are a person who defines themselves by being “woke”, you’ll continue to find things that need changing whether they really do need changing or not. Somethings are fine just the way they are but to admit that, a woke person must agree to something completely counter to their entire approach to the world and everyone in it. Thus it doesn’t matter how far left/woke we go, they’ll always push further that direction because they quite literally don’t know how to interact with a world where they aren’t actively trying to change something. It will never be enough. There will always be a new frontier that must be “dismantled” which we have seen includes basic biology.

Anti white, anti Christian, anti traditional family structure, anti traditional male/female social norms.

Pro wealth redistribution, pro heavy handed government intervention (as it pertains to their chosen enemies).
