wokeacracy 

wokeacracy — Credit for the coinage of the word is given to Governor Ron DeSantis who has proclaimed his state Florida to be where “Woke” goes to die.

Used positively “wokeacracy “ would be: a society of awakened individuals who organized and used the political system in a fair way to gain power.

Used negatively the word is currently used as both a dog whistle and a battle cry calling for the disenfranchisement of groups seen as a threat to the current hegemony.

Originally, “Stay Woke” was a hook in a the Childish Gambino song Redbone — a song written as a satire on the Trump presidency veiled by lyrics with sexual overtones.

Like most acerbic satire, the ideas the phrase “stay woke” pointed to were so powerful that the phrase took on a life of its own. The popular song brought the concept to the surface of popular cultural awareness.

This isn’t the first time this concept has stimulated the imaginations of humankind.

When the Buddha was asked what class of being he was: god, gandharva, celestial dancer or demon he answered that he was none of these.

“I am awake”
Aham jāgṛtaḥ asmi (in Sanskrit)

This was his description of himself.

This of course, can’t be taught in schools because if it were taught; then, it could posssibly lead to Wokeacracy!!!

And we wouldn’t want that.

Would we?
We have to remove critical race theory from our schools; keep women barefoot and pregnant; disenfranchise non-White voters; discourage diversity and inclusion programs; and remove affirmative action programs otherwise America will become a wokeacracy!!!!!!!!!

woke up and chose violence 

woke up and chose violence — the act of awakening and greeting the day with absolutely the worst decision that you could possibly make.

And sometimes it is actually violence.

It’s starting the day and performing any action that unalterably changes your life forever.
The people who attacked The Capitol on January 6th 2021 — attacked the symbolic seat of the American people’s power — just woke up and chose violence that day. And, as a result, the ring leaders are receiving long federal prison sentences.

Woke potato 

Woke potato is a person whose mental capacities have been destroyed by ideology. It refers to the slang use of potato as someone being uninteresting, dull or strange. Many social science disciplines produce woke potatoes, for example Feminist studies which cherry pick all evidence which shows women to be marginalized while ignoring all the evidence - especially legal regulations - which show women to be favored.
A characterizing trait of woke potatoes is that they cherry pick their evidence so that it suits their ideology. The worldview of a woke potato is unscientific, subjective but always politically correct.
John: What's Chris up to? I've heard he is studying women studies at University of California?
Michael: Yes, he really changed and he is now this bitter, rambling sob. It's hard to talk to him now.

John: What do you mean?

Michael: Well he lives in this strange echo chamber. He basically ignores all evidence that does not support his worldview and is always rambling about the patriarchy.
John: Sound like he has become a complete woke potato.
Michael: Very true. It's difficult to reach him since he does not accept empirical evidence. It's all about historical injustices and narratives, and of course a lot of cherry picked evidence.
