I'm really just pointing out that as much as posters here try to prove their superiority to various groups and subgroups, humans all share the same basic needs and desires.

Humans don't always seek or find those basic needs and desires in healthy places though.

There's a reason why right-leaning and religious people typically report higher rates of happiness and fulfillment. They are also less likely to attend therapy or be on anti-depressants.

The inverse is true of left-leaning, non-religious people, especially women. Groups or sub-groups of people who are generally unhappy and unfulfilled enough to actively try to tear down society are inferior by definition.

The original term was coined by one of the black equality leaders. Too tired, I want to say MLK, but I could be wrong about that.
Anyway, the message then was "Wake up". Or "Woken up". But had the completely opposite intent as the ideology that white academics have turned the ideology into now. It was intended to be peaceful, and co-exist ideology. Progressives turned itnto something angry and hateful.


Just another example of white people misappropriating black culture for personal profit.

I was with you until you went down the "right is good and liberal is bad" path.

What you call “wokeism” is actually nothing more than being civil to each other and not impeding each other’s pursuit of business, success and happiness. Stop focusing on putting others down. Pull together as a civil society that is not threatened by the fact that people come in all shapes, sizes and stripes. That way all members of our society can contribute to our common success to the best of their abilities without being shite on, making our country goal oriented.


Complete load of horseshite.

If that’s “all it was”, virtually no reasonable human would have the slightest issue with it.

Not sure why people are downvoting this. This is obviously an underlying cause.

It’s what happens when you’re sitting alone in your apartment realizing brunch and farmers markets don’t bring you meaning.

Therapists warn: ‘Woke’ ideology undermining cognitive-behavioral therapy...

“This article argues that woke ideology—what we refer to as critical social justice ideology—has warped a well-established psychotherapy approach often used to treat various kinds of psychological distress, known as cognitive-behavioral therapy,” they added.

“This ideology’s main tenets are full of ‘cognitive distortions,’ which are faulty, automatic patterns of thinking that CBT attempts to treat. Instead, woke ideology intentionally promotes these patterns, resulting in poorer mental health for clients, families, and therapists who buy into it.

The author of this article will soon lose his position at Franciscan University. No dissent will be tolerated.
