basically when you think you're woke. but you're a dumbass who doesn't understand why communism failed. basically a dumbass who thinks they'll save the world by becoming vegan.

When math authors or publishers deliberately or inadvertently use religious, satanic, or New Age symbols, icons, or logos, made up of geometric shapes, in their books to bewitch schoolchildren into the occultic or demonic world.
A grade two Chinese title was being recalled because it arguably contains a “woke geometry” item—the publisher has since apologized to its readers for depicting a bloody-looking pentagram, whereby kids are required to identify all geometric shapes that make up the “satanic symbol.”

When your woke agenda is terrorism.

A person who is good at using language to appear "woke" in situations that benefit them. But when the time comes, they expose themselves as the average problematic low-key racist that they are.
Did you see that Twitter activist interacting with racists and saying that we have to hear both sides. She's totally woke passing

woke shaming is when white people shame other white people for not being woke enough, resulting in silence or inaction, which perpetuates problems of racial injustice.
woke shaming between white people serves the narrative of "being part of the problem or not". It has absolutely nothing to do with the solution.
Example:
- you’re afraid to share information or ask a question out of fear of being met with a “well actually” response from your more woke friends
or:
- you share information with good intention without realizing your less woke friends will feel stupid (which they probably deserve to, but ask yourself- does feelings stupid inspire action and solution? Or does it just make you feel better about how woke you are??)
-someone asks you a question and the first thing you do is point out the problems in their logic/assumptions
Solutions:
-thank people for their questions, acknowledge their effort
-don’t be a “well actually” person. ever.
-repost/share information that perpetuates positivity and action/direction
-don’t look into the past at all. None of this “well you never cared before” or “I’ve cared all along” or “I care better or harder than you” bullshit
NOTE:
-if a POC makes you feel ashamed of your ignorance, IT'S OKAY. just listen and learn. The point is, whether or not shame or guilt is warranted as a feeling, it does not inspire action. Woke white people shaming other white people just makes it all about white people and guess what, IT'S FUCKING NOT.
