Examples of pseudo-wokeness:
Calling very small things that aren't even racist "racist" for no real reason.
Discriminating against white people, men, and straight people, thinking it'll "counter" the discrimination against people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ members that happened in the past and the present.
Any sort of corporate pandering
Doing any of the examples of pseudo-wokeness shown here won't fix the fire that is bigotry. It'll just create another "anti-fire" (which is really just another fire) that'll burn down society even more and possibly even strengthen the pre-existing fire.

Get the Woke mug.In response to the "Bethany Mandel, Conservative author, struggles to define WOKE" issue of 3/23,
I commented on Christopher Rufo's 4/26/2023 video
"The Assault on Sexual “Normativity” Is an Assault on the Basic Structure of Reality"
===
WOKE = Will Only Kriticize Europe.
8:30 CR understands WOKE as James Lindsay does. JL: "Communism doesn't know how." "Ruthless criticism of all that exists." CR: "It functions almost entirely on the process of negation." and he then proceeds to throb with commie-wrecker energy.
But his formulations for WOKE, while accurate, aren't as short and snappy as mine. ;)
There was a need, a few weeks ago, for a SHORT & SNAPPY definition of WOKE.
Here's one to take & run with!
"Only" to be taken in many senses.
Woke will never criticize non-European cultures; Woke will never be able to do anything by itself.
WOKE: WILL ONLY CRITICIZE EUROPE.

Get the WOKE mug.originally an African American grammatical error, dating back to at least the 1940s, meaning AWAKE in a political sense. In the 2010s Black Lives Matter (BLM), introduced it to a wider audience. It was immediately misappropriated by white middle class pseudo intellectuals, and used as a virtue signal. The irony being that the people who claimed they were WOKE were always the least AWAKE.
Now used as an insult to describe people that don't have any knowledge or understanding of any socio-political concepts (except that which is drip fed to them by the main stream media and education system), but like to make a lot of noise and trouble for everyone else. Cancel culture is WOKE, political correctness is WOKE, things that don't exist like, white privilege and systemic racism are WOKE ideas, critical race theory and critical queer theory, are both WOKE.

To use an example from the film The Matrix. WOKE people are those that took the blue pill but have convinced themselves that the took the red pill.

Get the Woke mug.Being aware of social injustices that are happening in society. Most often nowadays used as an insult by reactionary youtubers, extremist on the right side of the political agenda in america and people who fell for their fear mongering or grifting. It seems to have spread to a lot of countries outside of america due to internet including mine. Most people who fell for it are just naive, have a religious believe, or are misinformed because everyone fears of something they do not know as much as they don't want to admit. Whether that fear is for themselves or they fear that it's gonna affect their loved ones. So they ended up being and saying homophobic, racist, and every problematic things in existence without realising that they are what the other side of the political agenda are calling them.
It's scary to face these social injustices and it can be depressing to know all of these injustices that is happening. I get that because i was once like that. It's so much easier to ignore these injustices. However, it is hurting people and you should know that. If you chose to ignore it, i understand. However, if you are now aware and chose to not participate do not participate at all. If you don't, you are hurting people. Some people might have commited suicide because of the hurtful things you said. That is also a guilt that i have beared for almost a year now.

A : "The new disney movies and shows are woke garbage. They put a lesbian couple in a cartoon. They are brainwashing kids. Not to mention they made ariel black. They're pushing this down our throats"
B : "Have you ever thought that maybe you just don't want to see gay couples on tv because you don't see it as normal or disgusted by it ? How do you know being gay is an agenda? Why shouldn't they be represented on these shows when they aren't hurting anyone by just being them ? Why is it not okay to change a character's race into black in movies where the backstory or plot doesn't revolve around the characters race but there has been a lot of cases in movies where people swapped their characters race to white ?"
A : "Yeah but these companies only care about money, that's why they are making these representations. Why does representation matters so much ?"
B : "Everyone who are part of that represented group already knows that these companies are only going for the money but have you ever talked to the creators of the shows that are hired by the company,interract with them,see them interact with the fans, at least through social media ? maybe listen to their thought process of making these shows ? A lot of them are genuine showed by their words and actions. There are companies who just make representation for profit but did you know that there is a long history of these groups being stereotyped and censored up to the point of them having a negative stigma in society ?"
