How do you define wokeness?

[Anonymous]

What does it mean when someone or something is too 'woke'?

[DrPepper12]

Any (mostly reasonable) progress that conservatives like to go off about like gay M&Ms, woke beer commercials, gas stoves, migrant crime, welfare assistance instead of unions, health care, UBI, alternative energy, mat/paternity paid leave, universal day care, free higher education, mass transit, safety regulations, corporate subsidies but love them some misogyny, racism, patriarchal Jesus shit.

[OtterMan68]

Being aware of the history of racism and oppression.

[_piotr]

Rather rejection of real history and truth.

[OtterMan68]

@_piotr because there was no racism and oppression in the past?

[_piotr]

Because wokeness feeds on a false version of history and draws false conclussions. Woke people are skewed in thinking by wanting to be victims and rejecting material truth, reason, aesthetics, righteousness and virtues.

You do not see anything wrong with it because you are probably under its strong influence. It works like a sect. Wakeness is an ill state of mind. It is likely a product of satnanism and cancer to humanity. I wish you to be truly free of it, but I realise there is nothing I can write that will change your worldview. It is not something that can be changed by few posts on a website.

Please read my response to see what wokeness encompasses.

[OtterMan68]

@_piotr that's your definition. I'll stick with mine.

[DrPepper12]

@_piotr LMFAO!! Satanism? Boo! Scared yet? Of course you are it's a PROVEN conservative mind set! Allow me to actually bring FACTS to your attention:
1) Psychology / biology / anatomy / has PROVEN that conservatives have a DEEPER AND MORE INTENSE reaction in the brain to images that are visceral / disturbing and the conservative brain lights up the more "reptilian" parts of the brain that decide fight/flight/freeze response. On CAT Scan machines they blow up like the 4th of July!
2) Sociology / economics / psychology has PROVEN that because of the stronger fear / anxiety response, conservatives are MORE responsive to advertising that sells "solutions" to that fear. Exhibit A: Fox, Brietbart, Infowars & Newsmax advertise all manner of products such as buy gold, buy life insurance, buy doomsday prepper kits, buy weapons, buy backup generators, buy supplements, buy tactical taint underwear (yes, that a real product that they buy).
3) Furthermore, sociology & psychology show CONCLUSIVELY that Conservatives are MORE SUSCEPTIBLE to messages of hope / salvation / redemption and as such employ reptilian brain responses to religious / cult / conspiracy theories rather than frontal lobe logic / reason leading to them being more easy marks for con men, false prophets & snake oil salesmen.

You see, conservatives are complete SNOWFLAKES and science proves it. I have neither the time nor crayons to demonstrate these FACTS any further. Good luck with Orange Jesus, Q-ANON, GOP and your new pair of underwear.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the whole thing.

It just has been hijacked and redefined to mean something far from what it’s original definition was, so it’s not something I’d use in my own lexicon, and it’s kind of telltale when someone else uses it these days, and usually I’ll assume this person using it in the bastardized context probably has a lot of misguidance and misconceptions about a lot of things going on socially.

[_piotr]

Being woke includes:

1) Racism towards white people,
2) Believing that one can change sex,
3) Radical men-hating feminism,
4) Culture of death - abortion and euthanasia,
5) Atheism
6) Totalitarian ruled society, in which you must obey or be canceled; strong propaganda,
7) Rejection of objective truth, historical truth, logic, etc...,
8 ) Glorification of disabilities, victimisation, fatness, mediocrity and so on instead of positive values, hard work and virtues, rejection of beauty and aesthetics,
9) Deep socialism,
10) Forced unification (everything needs to include mixed races, mixed cultures) and destruction of real diversity in the world,
11) Rejection of any moral authorities (including teachers and parents for children).
12) Promotion of egoism
13) Sexualization of children; inclusion of sex in entertainment, and many others aspects of life.
15) Inclusion of artificial problems like "cultural appropriation","racism towards orcs" in RPG fantasy games and so on,
16) Social "justice". Injustice based on premise that some people can be discriminated freely based on the grounds of their richness, skills, power, etc... If you are white men you can be discriminated because you are considered an enemy of the system. (REMEMBER: ""Justice and social justice are as similar to each other like a comfy armchair to an electric chair." Janusz Korwin-Mikke)
17) Exaggerated ecology and promotion of its bad conclusions: ordering the extermination of cattle, prohibiting meat, dairy and egg industries, shutting down production, forcing (not promoting) people to use things like electric cars, neglecting the pollution from China and other non Eoropean/USA parts of the world.
The list can go on...

[DrPepper12]

You need educating. Do you even KNOW a liberal / progressive / "woke" person?

[wiltingrosepetal]

When diversity is prioritised over fairness or logic.

So for example, the Snow White film in production. Why is the character that's named after her white skin tan? Why isn't she interested in men despite being in a straight romance? Why aren't the dwarves dwarves? The answer to all of them is "diversity".

You can see the same phenomenon happening with transgender athletes, race-blind casting, gender neutral bathrooms, obese models, etc etc. What's logical about an obese person saying they are healthy? Nothing! Just like how illogical it is for biological men to play women's sports. Wokeness is when a company prefers to 'look good' than produce sensible or fair outcomes

[ApplePie409]

This is quite possibly the most intelligent reply I've ever read on this site.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Thanks :D

[DrPepper12]

What else other than race/gender/obesity that makes one woke?

[DextroShade]

It's a deranged cultish adherence to leftist ideas such as Marxism, postmodernism, critical race theory (anti-white racism), anticolonialism, queer theory, transgenderism, radical feminism (misandry), hatred of Western Civilization and values, and valorization of any group perceived to be "marginalized" even if they are pedophiles or terrorists. It should be stamped out as brutally as possible.

[DrPepper12]

Wow. Who hurt you?

[DextroShade]

@DrPepper12 typical shit leftard response.

[SolitarySolace]

Agreed, @DextroShade. These people use that saying in me all the time. As if it gives them some sort of high to boost their already fragile ego

[DrPepper12]

Ad hominem. 😴 But if you insist... It just FEELS that way to you!! When you're top of the food chain sharing feels like theft. That's why the pale, make, stale crowd is so aggrieved and angry!! Even if you don't believe what I say that's fine. I'm sure you have plenty of reputable sources to back up the assertions you made. I'll wait...

[SolitarySolace]

Not worth giving when you aren't capable of understanding

[DextroShade]

@DrPepper12 talking to disingenuous libtards is a waste of time. Maybe you should go to Canada and take advantage of their liberal euthanasia policies.

[DrPepper12]

@SolitarySolace no. It points out that conservative, in general, are ignorant snowflakes.

[DrPepper12]

@SolitarySolace That's unfair to YOU. Here you have someone willing AND ABLE to hear you out and you deny yourself the opportunity? Odd behavior and frankly a cop out

[DrPepper12]

@SolitarySolace That's unfair to YOU. Here you have someone willing AND ABLE to hear you out and you deny yourself the opportunity? Odd behavior and frankly a cop out. Try! Join "Better Angels". It's a great org!!

[SolitarySolace]

Sure, unfortunately I am no good at putting my thoughts to text the best I can do is post a video that explains it better than I can and you people refuse to watch such things in fear of your worldview changing

[SolitarySolace]

@Juxtapose could probably explain the video better than I can

[DrPepper12]

@SolitarySolace ok... Post it!

[Zoeysiren]

Wokeness can be tricky! At its core, it's about being aware of social inequalities and injustices, especially those based on race and ethnicity. It can also mean being open to learning about different experiences and advocating for change. Some people see it as positive, while others think it can be too sensitive or focused on identity. The key thing is to be open-minded and respectful of others, even if you don't always agree.

[ApplePie409]

The woke are the teeny, tiny minority of white liberal Marxists that are calling the shots. Michelle wasn't allowed to read Dr. Seuss books to kids, because this teeny, tiny minority of white liberal Marxists told her to stop. She obeyed her white masters.

[jshm2]

Like a lot of coined words, it's definition depends on your class and upbringing.

It's original use was by the first freed Black slaves, in their Green book. They would note places that welcomed Blacks around the USA, so you had to be woke and see if people were being nice to you, or just tolerating your money.

Since then, it's morphed into a catchall term by Whites for anything they feel encroaching their values.

[DarkWinterNights]

Woke is defined as a cult-like adherence to an every changing and amorphous leftist social orthodoxy. Which is why so many people can identify it, but have trouble explaining it.

In simpler terms, instead of a moral foundation- like many religions, everything is viewed through a post modern/Marxist lens of Oppressed vs. Oppressor.

[DrPepper12]

Religion with a MORAL FOUNDATION? OMG you people slay me! Please tell me you've never been near a voting booth!

[DarkWinterNights]

You’re laughing like the entire Western world wasn’t founded on a Judao-Christian moral framework, including our entire justice system.

[DrPepper12]

If THAT is morality then you are depraved, unethical, soulless and monstrously inhumane. Have you READ it? Don't get me wrong, SOME of the parables are great literature and exemplars of morality. I'm not sure if the Western world being based on Christian "morality" is the flex you think it is. Also, it's "Judeo"

[BCRanger10]

Looking at everything through a lens of oppressed vs. non-oppressed.

Trying to solve problems that don't exist, or twisting or exaggerating them.

[MemeSupreme]

being progressive bc you wanna appeal to people

so being fake lol there's a difference between GENUINELY being into it and just those who forcing it or haven't really thought it through

[WhitneySnow]

Progressivism. A belief in the need for social change. And too woke implies that being woke is a bad thing.

[David94358]

Woke didn't listen..

[laly520]

any regime/ideology that gets on extreme side isn't good or useful

[itsclearlynicholas]

That sort of catch all, trendy jargon to explain that people follow a crowd only to be seen as being in on the secret. Whatever that is

[itsclearlynicholas]

A trendy catch all terminology for those who like to appear self important and pushing a cause of some select value, for social credits for themselves, whether they care for the bigger issue or not, if it succeeds or not, is an after thought, the attention first though 🥇 lol 😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

*first thought* typos

[DrPepper12]

So wokeism is an egotistical, narrow-minded opportunity to peacock anything as long as it draws attention to the braggart? Dude. You just DEFINED a sociopathic narcissist!! You know, ya boi Trump. Over 300+ reputable psychologists have already diagnosed him with this malady. You funny. I like you!

[Harshbro]

It means your mind has been poisoned with theoretical bs, destroying any sense of self thought and reflection. Chanting the narrative pushed in schools and media. The woke mob supports the degeneration of society, crumbling year by year

[SolitarySolace]

Wokeness is Cult-like adherence to leftist social orthodoxy

This sums it up!

[Anonymous]

An overused term that means absolutely nothing.

[onedarkcloud]

Stupidity at its zenith!

[JayBones2469]

It means it's removed from reality

To quote George Thorgood. "Everbody funny. Now you funny too!". Lololol 🤪
