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.A term that was supposed to mean something good (being aware to social injustice and discrimination), but now it has turned into an insult that means "overly sensitive" or "pretending to be woke". Mostly used against the actual pseudo-woke, but sometimes used against ordinary people who have enough ACTUAL wokeness to call out the insult user's blatant racism/sexist/etc.
It practically got ruined by the pseudo-wokeness seen in Twitter warriors and "progressive" companies.
Having enough wokeness to recognize actual bigotry is a good thing, but please don't be a Twitter warrior.

Little sibling who just learned the word "woke": Hey I am proud to be woke
Older sibling: You shouldn't call yourself woke in public or online. That word has turned into an insult used against those pretending to be woke, like in being overly sensitive to the smallest details that are somehow "racist" or "sexist" by some warped logic or by straight-up discriminating against white people and men as an attempt to "counter" discrimination against people of color and women. Long story short they'll think you're oversensitive or even a hypocritical bigot.
Little sibling who now knows why the term "woke" has a stained reputation: Ok thanks for reminding me about this.

Get the woke mug.A state when a person is aware of world problems (such as racism, wars, homophobia etc...) and shows compassion towards its victims.
Woke has unfortunately been bastardised by conservatives into an insult to people (mostly to everyone that isn't conservative).
While being woke just means being aware and accepting people how they are and having basic human decency and empathy (and empathy was, is, and always will be a good thing).
Be kind.

Get the Woke mug.A thing that doesn't deserve life or to be defined by any means which is something I am defiling to bring you this definition.

Get the Woke person mug.A word that conservative old out-of-touch white people use to describe progressive concepts to other conservative old out-of-touch white people in way that will scare them
we can’t bring the kids to Disney anymore. Jimbo said last time he went, the woke employees were requiring vaccinations to common illnesses and not segregating the water fountains

Get the Woke mug.He was woke politically, therefore was aware of all the accurate facts that allowed him to speak on topics intelligently, and ignore dishonest statements upon debates, and/or submitting his personal vote.
