    Right wing kooks using the word woke is actually pretty funny. The rest of us are just out here thinking that perhaps everyone should be able to live with a modest amount of dignity and these dudes think it’s some magic spell we’re chanting.

    Fuggen’ “wokeism” kills me every time! What on earth does that mean to them??

      They can’t even define it. Remember the author who wrote an entire damn book about wokism, and she couldn’t even define “woke” in a live interview for which she had ample time to prepare.

      I’m starting to think their brains are wired differently. They don’t think, they just react to stimuli.

        It’s not that these people can’t define “woke” it’s that they do not ever want to admit (either out loud or just to themselves) they are racists or complicit in being assholes to entire groups people. The word “woke” is the wallpaper that can never be peeled back for exposing the mirror behind it.

      They don’t know, they just want some “ism” of their own to throw at the people calling them out for being the racist, sexist, and homophobic fascists that they are.

      I just thought it was the evolution of the social justice warrior pejorative.

      Look at this SJW, complaining about cops shooting civillians without trial.
