Gee, how did humans ever survive preWOKE? We survived just fine. Thus is a recently new thing that entered our society. Too bad we did get to vote if we wanted it or not.
first wave feminism got women to vote. that was the big movement for social issues of the 1920s. there's often big social issue movements and people trying to help an oppressed group or something or bring about a social issue that coudl affect a majority group as well, which I think is what helping women out is, since they are 50% of the population, or me when I want society to stop holding young guys back
there are a lot of problems the elites create and I like to push back against them, however in an independant free thinking way that and not whatever liberal democrats say
"Woke" is a catchall term that means something different to everyone. Ask 10 different people and get 10 different descriptions of what woke culture is. As such I can't answer. I thought it was a dumb term when I first heard it years ago and now its grown to be every persons societal boogyman thrown together and given a pretentious term to incite the populous.
No. Being awaken is to let go of the identification with ego and culture (enlightenment). Being awake is to realize and live from the realization that you are the whole ocean in a single drop of water.
Wokeism is trying to get to that, but it identifies with clans of ideology and whatever. Don't get me wrong, the progressive ideology is way more my jam than conservative one but it's still just an ideology.

Solution to what?
I find the kind of people that promote this stuff tend to be intolerant and narrow focused bad faith actors. Which can lead to hypocrisy.
My view is that they demand privilege and rights for the few at the expense of the many which makes no sense.
As such, I'm really not interested in this stuff.

Woke culture is not the solution to any important issues, but it's creating some new ones.
It’s nothing short of willful ignorance. It’s just on the opposite end of the political spectrum from previous willful ignorance. And that’s enough to justify ignorance to people who are really battling for power, not education or enlightenment.
I was hoping we could be kinder in sharing opinions. Every human life matters even when people disagree. We need to stop the hate if we truly want to move forward as a society. All this does is cause more division. Moving on, what I am hearing you say, is that you are upset about woke culture and find it is not rooted in the truth therefore not helping society. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Please be more gentle next time or I will report the post. And I rather not have to do that. Thank you.
You must have a hearing problem. I specifically stated and I quote “they're just a bunch of useful idiots sent to be slaughtered by their masters and clueless about it because they don't read”. Why would I be upset because someone who has no connection to my life is a stupid puppet? They don’t live by me. I have no responsibility for them. They are the ones that will be negatively impacted by their own actions.
“Woke culture” is just a rebranding of White Man’s Burden. Which is basically idea that European countries need to educate the savages of the countries they conquer. Now its the savages demanding to be educated lmao.
I encourage you to take a moment to pause. Imagine a person in your life who loves you very much and supports you. Someone elder or who is like a mentor to you. Perhaps your grandma, grandpa, mom, aunt etc. imagine this person. Now, say out loud to them exactly what you wrote here online and replace the world “savage” with “you”. Does it feel right? What would they say or think of you? This kind of way to speak about other humans is wrong. We are all sharing the same human experience despite our differences. If we ever want to move forward as a society we need to stop the hate and start spreading more kindness.
Better yet, replace the word “savage” with “b*tch” and “bi*ches”. Or imagine someone else is using your exact words and referring to this person you love.
I usually think that those who label themselves are the ones deficient in that categoty. It's the same with hate. Many men wo claim to hate gay men fear their own feminity. I prefer the Buddhist typeo pf woke which is similar but w/o banging drum
It seems that so many "new" frameworks through which we are supposed to view the world are simply rehashes of what hasn't worked before or some idiotic combination of same.
Woke Culture is something to be afraid of because the wrong thoughts can destroy your life these days. Censorship and fear are the only things keep such a stupid movement alive because truth is something SJWs fear the most.
@Revvl6pro I used to think the Chinese Communist Party had a hand in woke culture and the downfall of Western civilization as well, but 1) the CCP is way too incompetent for that. I've learned in 2022 that they're even more incompetent than the Biden administration and that's saying something! And 2) They're so ridiculously "super racist" that they couldn't even pretend to pushout woke culture, despite wokeness in itself being bigoted. As in, they couldn't hide their hatred against nonwhites long enough to effectively program wokeness into the West.
No. The CCP isn't behind woke culture. Klaus Schwab, Larry Fink of BlackRock, and all of Schwab's other supervillain minions are behind woke indoctrination. It was/is literally part of The Great Reset.
@MCheetah They might be incompetent, but they have tons of money that we give them. A guy on the news wanted to sell coffee mugs to put on his website, but he only sells stuff that's made in the USA. America no longer makes those. America invented televisions, but no longer makes them. Did you see the video of John Cena apologizing to China for saying that Taiwan is a country? It will make you sick to your stomach. But he's a Hollywood actor, and China owns Hollywood. I don't disagree with your list of bad guys, but China is one of them.
@Revvl6pro Yes, I've seen him grovel to the CCP and go through all the 约翰西娜 (Juan Xina) jokes.
China doesn't own Hollywood; Hollywood just used to lick the CCP's feet for money. But once they found out the China doesn't actually pay any investors anything (being they're Communists and all), they stopped doing it in mid 2022.
I'm not denying the CCP is pure evil; I'm just saying they're too incompetent and bigoted to push wokeness. Disney had to actually be racist itself when promoting movies in China, that's how you know the CCP isn't for wokeness.
It really depends, I see a lot of misappropriation in the woke movement. In terms of society there needs to be some changes which is why we need the woke movement.

however I dont like the toxicity of fake wokeness and how they aren't actually independant minded

Morally bankrupt and degenerate is what it truly is.

They're just a bunch of useful idiots sent to be slaughtered by their masters and clueless about it because they don't read.

China is behind it. Just look at Hollywood.
Interesting theory. Thank you for sharing!

I wonder if Biden knows that.
Seems generally like an excuse to be part of a lynch mob while feeling morally superior
Thank you for sharing your opinion Irishgirl.
What it started out as and how the right has exaggerated it are two very different things. I don't think it's a big thing unless you turn in the news
Anyone using the term woke is retarded.
It is entirely obvious that this is an attempt at divide and conquer.
The enemy is the mafia controlling the US government and media etc.
Nah... Woke Culture strikes me as incredibly hateful and participated in by people who are deeply discontent with their lives.
Woke culture is almost always full of the most hateful bigoted sexist and racist people on the planet. All of the shit they do is projection.
It really depends, I see a lot of misappropriation in the woke movement. In terms of society there needs to be some changes which is why we need the woke movement.
Like Ponzi schemes, they know it's a con game.
