    Calling it “woke” like the right does is pejorative.

      Woke started out being used in a positive manner by people of color to describe social awareness, then conservatives decided to use it as a mockery of those who dare to ask for a more caring and supportive society. The right didn’t come up with that term.

        Are you sure? Then disregard what I said. I’ve only ever seen it used as an insult tbh.

          Absolutely. Woke was a term exactly as @[email protected] defined it, social awareness, but it quickly became “stuff I don’t like or agree with” for conservatives.

      no it isn’t. it means being aware of systemic oppression. don’t let those asshats get away with redefining it.
