When I open my eyes in the morning. I don't give two shits about what any liberal thinks of my vocabulary. Really.
Most things libs would want to "cancel" me over, I take pride in. LoL

As the Supreme Court said, I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it.

Woke -> opposite / antonym of awake.

Ex used in a sentence:

The woke sheep are oblivious of the Great Awakening.

“Can you define woke?”
Easily.

Woke was originally a Black term used to denote an awakening or opening of eyes to issues of racial and social justice, justice implying fairness.

As "woke" targets of racial and social fairness were attained, they were superseded by targets of unfairness ... advantagement, entitlement, and inequality under the law.

So "woke" is now a belief in unfairness ... legal advantagement, entitlement, inequality under the law, and general disestablishment of social norms.

1) The false premise that the history of America is mainly a history of systemic oppression combined with
2) the false promise that the way to fix society's problems is division and suppression based on victim-identity demographics rather than working together based on common humanity and shared values.

That’s why I stick with the tried and true “cross dresser” term. Eliminates a lot of confusion too.

Great. Here’s your opportunity to lay some knowledge on us then.

Feel free to let us know what it means.

It’s honestly a confirmation of my post. I don’t like you or anything you stand for but the word woke is frankly too broad now to be of any real use when dealing with normies. This board it’s mostly still fine since we all are tuned in enough to understand whatever context it’s used in.

Someone in this thread for instance has actually defined Afrocentrism exactly as woke when it’s more like all Afrocentric minded are woke but not all woke are afrocentric.

Wokeness is about being in a cult. If the cult says there are 20+ genders, then you've to pretend to be outraged if you see anyone saying there're only two genders.

If the cult says abortion up until the time of birth... then you've to pretend to be outraged if you see someone claim that's too extreme.


If the cult says sex books for elementary school students, and teachers being allowed to have secret sex talks with their students... then you've to pretend to be outraged if anyone speaks out against it.

Basically it's adhering to what the cult says and not the beliefs themselves. Because the beliefs change all the time. The beliefs are only a means for the cult to exert control and see who is an obedient cultist and who isn't.

Offshoot of post modernism that defines western liberal values and institutions as inherently white/male/straight supremacist. Those values and institutions persecute those that aren't white/male straight and therefore must be torn down and replaced with values and systems that create equitable outcomes. Similar to marxism yet replaces economic victimhood with identity victimhood.

It's simply modern statism. Worship of the power structure with no standards to achieve the agenda of deconstruction.

Yes, I define it as describing an event, stance or environment one simply doesn't agree with and then taking it out of context (or in the incorrect context, and whether purposefully or not) so as to show it as being self-evident proof of discrimination, oppression or injustice, especially in a systemic fashion.

This is the best definition put forth yet imo but I still think it’s a bad idea entirely to engage with the question if dealing with Twitter freaks. It’s a trap.
