They've got a point!

Still is if you aren't a twat
I honestly don't see people using "woke" positively these days.
-
Nope. One side are Nazis, dude. If you're not opposed to fascism, got some bad news for you...
I guess the idea is that if you're spending all your energy being anti-MAGA then you aren't focussing on the real struggle (class warfare). But of course one can focus on class warfare while still being anti-MAGA.

When did we decide that the worst people in the world get to decide what words mean
It's just how linguistics works I guess.

You could choose to be neither.
Participating in culture wars manufactured to drive social-media-engagement isn't obligatory.
That's a shit argument that casts aside billions of human beings and their rights as such. And your follow-up is even more trolly? Fuck off.

"MAGAt" works, too, FWIW

Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.
I'm fine with ignorants and some twats, but not both at once.

"Choosing to be neither" is choosing to be an ignorant twat but too afraid to own up to it.

Reminder that woke was originally used as a positive term.
What's amusing is that the Wikipedia article traces its origin back to the Republican Party.
-
Also a reminder that woke is used negatively by the same people who cannot tell the difference between badly photoshopped letters and a gang tattoo.
That was depressing. I knew our president was dumb, but I still didn't think he could be that dumb.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I absolutely agree. And, the shit part of it all? It's been going on for pretty much all of recorded history (class warfare, that is).
Edit: To clarify my position a little, I see choosing MAGA as willfully submitting to the parasitic "elites".

Saying a person is woke is like saying they are not a mindless sheep going through life asleep at the wheel.

So conservatives version of this is their deweaponization of the word nazi? Fuck this timeline.

But they call people on the left sheep? How can this be true? /s

This is how they view the entire non-hegemonic wprld. They admit it. -

I agree that wokeness is more enlightened than ignorance, but I also wonder how woke it is to scorn the less enlightened so hard.
-
what are you saying? because it reads like you think nazis are anti-fascist which is WILDLY out of pocket so i'm sure you're trying to say something else, it's just not clear what
Who has historically defeated fascists?
I don't think that's a hard question to understand.

La la la lava

I'm sure someone is somewhere grappling with that.
Since the politicians they support and voted in are actively dismantling the government, erecting a dictatorship, and enacting policies guaranteed to get people needlessly killed I don't find myself burdened by such concerns.
