Republicans won't admit it, but it probably means you aren't a racist, homophobic, transphobic POS

I cannot help to find it a bit ironic. Rightists praised Elon Musk for unbanning everyone and now they want to censor everything and more and more people feel antagonistic to the right

That word has lost pretty much all meaning, so I tend to assume people using it have no thoughts of their own.

And has been in use for decades before right wingers hijacked it and used it to describe everything they don't like.

To this one, while the word existed decades ago, we shouldn't act like this was an overly popular word until recently.

The word woke is not a popular word among us black people. Right wingers picked up the word likely during the summer of the 2020(?) riots. Then ran with it as their new buzzword that replaced "SJW" and "being political."

The group that mostly clings to the word is right wingers.

Personally I think we should stick with making fun of the GOP calling everything under the sun to describe everything they don't like as "woke." That and IIRC using what they acknowledged as the definition of woke (I think it was DeSantis's team) against themselves.

We can make fun of them for clinging to a word most on the left aren't using, while not compromising our belief of injustices of this world.

I'd be annoyed.

For someone to call me woke would mean that they're using it as a catch-all for anyone who isn't bigoted like they are.

Some of these slangs/terms are sooo dumb. I didn't vote. I was a hipster because I was using a portable cd player 8 years ago. Granted woke does invoke more negative things in my eyes, but *sighs* labels are unavoidable.

"woke" is a fantasy term that has no valid or accepted definition. Calling someone "woke" is like calling someone "flerrrrrrplaaargnrnrnrg"

My reaction to hearing someone accuse anything or anyone of being "woke" is to immediately assume the following:

1) The thing they are describing did something that, in any way, shape or form, portrayed empathy towards other human beings or in any way portrayed someone who wasn't a straight white male in a positive light.

2) They have been told this is a bad thing by their beloved racist, sexist figureheads, but don't think of themselves as racist or sexist, so they have to come up with some reason the other side is evil instead, hence "woke".

I am woke/an SJW/a bleeding heart. All of those are outright positive to me and people only debase themselves by using those terms as insults. It's not good to be asleep, to not fight injustice, or to have a hard heart.
