Woke

Said about people who claim to be "awake," but in reality, they're asleep, dreaming—and the rest of us are forced to live in their nightmare.
They are too woke to understand how science actually work.

Woke

Woke

"Woke" originated in African American English and defined awareness of and attentiveness to social and racial injustices. To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality.

RIght-wingers who are angry that they suffer repercussions for using pejoratives to attack minorities, women, and people of non-trad genders use it as a cudgel to denigrate people who fight for social and racial justice. In its misuse, it is a form of hate speech.

It is a favorite term of Trump and his party. In the example, he erroneously equates diversity programs with unfair advantages for minorities.
“Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said. “We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.”

WOKE

WOKE: WILL ONLY KRITICIZE EUROPE.
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.

Schrödinger's Wokeness

The belief that all forms of pop culture have always been "woke" while they are also simultaneously in need of being "updated for modern audiences".
Person 1: Dude, everything is always been woke! But we also need to change them so that nobody today gets offended.
Person 2: Sounds like Schrödinger's Wokeness: everything always was - and never was - woke. smh...
