Bairnardo Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I do feel that woke has been used in the pejorative just enough times here to merit a reminder of the definition of woke..... aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) And thus, it follows logically that anyone who uses "woke" in an attempt to slander, is a fucking idiot/probable Tory, and that they, and their favoured choice of podcast should be ignored by right thinking society. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards. However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not. And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion. and might say something like "And thus, it follows logically that anyone who uses "woke" in an attempt to slander, is a fucking idiot/probable Tory, and that they, and their favoured choice of podcast should be ignored by right thinking society.

VincentGuerin Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I liked The Simpsons about 25/30 years ago and still enjoy the proper old ones when I see them. I have to be honest, I find the whole Simpsons meme thing from those a bit younger than me to be tiresome, and have a sense of "leave my childhood alone" about it. However, I am fully aware that the only response to that is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
