    Whether woke is good or bad depends entirely on how it’s defined. I generally see it as an antithesis to ignorance. So a combination of both educated and rational thinking.

    Sometimes it describes things that are educated and irrational thinking, which is ironically what the right does a lot. Basically fear mongering.

    Then you just use the two interchangeably to make it sound like rational observations are radical.

        Oh I know. But even then they’re intentionally inconsistent so the good and bad gets mixed in together.
