Woke is a dismissal of reality to force a planned social/political reality into "understood" existence.

Your questionable rebuttles in r/ShermanPosting are especially telling about your likely positions on racism and slavery. I bet you have a lot to say about which lives matter.


Idiots like that are why I don't do Reddit.

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

They were all over Montana and Wyoming subs, too, because liberals are definitely proportionately represented in those states.

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

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights.


I've learned a lot from John McWhorter's writings on linguistics. Words have an origin and then their meaning expands over time. When I was a kid 'You suck' meant you're homosexual (short for 'you suck dicks'). It gradually expanded to 'bad.'
'Cute' meant 'smart' in England 400 years ago. Now it can describe a behavior or physical appearance.

Far left progressive liberalism characterized by rejection of objective truths.

A good litmus test - do women have a penis? If the answer is anything other than No, the person is woke.
