What does 'woke' mean?

"Woke" is a slur used by conservatives against liberals.

 

What does the riot that took place on January 6th, 2021, in Washington DC, have to do with your claim that Republicans think there is systemic racism against white people and, therefore, they want to suspend the rule of law against white people?

 

You have already admitted y’all believe there is systemic racism against white people / republicans.

The highly secretive measure of not wanting to prosecute republicans meets the second criteria.

What are you not following?

 

The Woke Destroy Everything They Touch:

FROM THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOLARS: New Study Tracks Rise of DEI in STEM Departments, Associations, Grants, and Literature. (One of the authors has chosen to remain pseudonymous. I guess an academic can’t be too careful these days. It’s way too late for me.)

Woke vs Physics

'DEI has begun to influence the natural sciences, causing them to stray away from their mission to seek truth and to instead work to advance political narratives.'

With these folks, it's never about truth, it's always about advancing their political narrative.

It's their religion, and it's nasty, coercive, and rights violating

“By dismantling academic freedom and enforcing ideological uniformity among faculty and staff, DEI’s followers have established themselves as the preeminent ideologues on America’s college campuses today.”

 

Woke is liberal insanity.

In other words, redundant.

 

So? Apparently finding something that another poster 'might' find offensive, is what? Likely against forum rules.

When someone goes out of their way to claim a righteous position, and denigrate those that disagree is, IMO, someone who is 'woke'. I don't bother using the term, the English language provides us with so many better ones.

 

Woke is a term for anybody who doesn't get what they want so they cry and scream as loud as they can for attention in the hopes somebody will give it to them.

 

Jeez .. who'd a thought such a thing would happen in a 99.9% white (at the time cherubs were a thing) religion!

So weird that Chinese gods look Chinese, and Indian gods look Indian .. etc. What absolute b@stards, not making their gods look Swedish or African or something.

 

To me, "woke" means "aware of".
I think it's a good thing to be aware. But people are taking a good thing, making it over complicated, and kind of ruining the good in it by adding all the special meanings to it.

 

The only devil in this scenario is the individuals who buy the end result of that rare earth. And you can be pretty darned sure there are more non-white people buying those products, than white people. Want to try again?

Also, which of these looks better to you .... this?


or this:

 

What does "woke" mean? What does it really mean?!

. DEATH TO AMERICA!

 

Woke is meant to infer "I see the only truth and those that disagree have their eyes closes." A good example of wokeness would be the truther movement.

 

Not sure why nobody can look up a simple dictionary. From Miriam Webster:

"woke
1 of 2
adjective
ˈwōk

woker; wokest
chiefly US slang
1
: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"

To me, it was always a puzzle that a word that basically means to be aware has become a word to slander Democrats. Such is the working of the conservative propaganda machine that even presidential hopefuls like DeSantis use these code words as red meat to the base.

College degree value plummets as woke insanity spikes

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/college-degree-value-plummets-woke-insanity-spikes

'Buyers should beware when it comes to soaring college costs. DEI officers are a big part of the hefty price tag.'

'Elon Musk, who decided "college is basically for fun," has for years evaluated applicants at Tesla based on skills, not a diploma.'

He doesn't confuse credentials for expertise.

'President Barack Obama proposed rating colleges based in part on how well their graduates earn a living and pay back their loans. The powerful higher education lobby crushed the idea.'

Oh hell yeah. Accountability to the taxpayers? They have no interest in that.

'All the while, colleges have been raising tuition mercilessly, pushing families to take on more debt to cover the hikes.'

Folks are rethinking this.

 

Actually Jesus appeared to everyone in different ways..

 

LOL, your chosen descriptive only refers to it as slang

Slang

I guess it's more of a self reflecting issue then an actual derogatory or inflammatory meaning

 

Yep, sure. Let's go Brandon isn't really derogatory either , at least in Trump supporters' minds.

 

And that is a targeted insult again the current president! Shall we now post the nice pretty names you all have for Trump and on occasion the GOP? How's that little trick with the O go again

 

Actually the left adopted this term to describe themselves. It doesn't matter what term the left grabs to describe themselves it will be used in the same context. What it does is it essentially builds a wall around a set of beliefs and ridicules those beliefs because they are deserving of ridicule.

Like the white fragility crap the CRT nonsense the trans idiocy instead of calling out all those things individually it's just all woke. No it's used to buy the right wing to describe the left wing because that's how the left wing described itself.

Same thing can be said for green or vegan it's just a description of insufferable people.

So that seems to be what it means insufferable people who believe nonsense. I will say it's good that you are not identifying with this term because it means at least you don't want to be classified in the group of people who are insufferable and believe nonsense but in order to get out of that will you have to have some sense.

 

Well that's correct it isn't it's expressing contempt not degradation.

Singing Joe Biden is a senile buffoon that soils his pants on a regular basis that's derogatory.

 

Or vegan or green or feminist whatever describes not just having ridiculous beliefs but insisting that everyone else must share them.

This is a self-inflicted wound the left shows this to describe itself and whatever word they used to describe themselves is going to be used as a pejorative because it's not about the word it's about what it describes.

Consider safe space or therapy bear these are used to ridicule people who indulge in that nonsense because they are right for ridicule don't do things that are ridiculous and people won't have to ridicule you.

 

Not if it's true

 

Actually, according to one Leftist poster here, it was created by a blues singer Huddie William Ledbetter, aka "Lead Belly". So if WOKE is a derogatory term, I suppose he is to blame
