Current Events > Wouldn't being woke mean you are aware of the truth?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like Neo becomes woke from the red pill by seeing the truth. Why did the right make it a negative? Wouldn't believing in conspiracy theories be woke, ie. a good thing according to them?

See the problem is you're thinking about it logically. It makes sense when you realize it makes no sense

There must be some reasoning behind it though. What is even the origin of it? It's weird because red pill is already a thing, so you would think woke would follow.

Anything to downplay what they don't like, and manipulation exists in everything

Woke was 1st used by some left wingers to describe themselves, before Republicans attacked them over their ideals.

Social justice, liberal etc

Right wingers/libertarians use red pill/awake.

I'm pretty sure right wingers didn't come up with woke

Yes, thats how the word originated. It was a good thing. But then right wing politicians twisted its meaning.

No. Woke means "shit my conservative playbook tells me to hate, which means i dont have to think about it!"

"woke" dates back to African-American English roughly a century ago. short version it basically means to be aware of prejudice.

all [the right] has been involved with is the modern day culture war hijacked version of it
