Nope. One side are Nazis, dude. If you're not opposed to fascism, got some bad news for you...

Do we need our reading checked?
Choosing neither (as they wrote) doesn't mean choosing fascism: it can still be opposed. -
Many self described woke people are in fact ignorant fucking twats. One political outlook does not make u not an ignorant twat. You can be both. U can be neither. This is a false dichotomy. And ur attempt to put people in one of 2 boxes without acknowledging any sort of nuance around it clearly indicates the box you fall into.
Lemmy loves fallacies & circlejerks.

When did we decide that the worst people in the world get to decide what words mean
We didn't.
Woke has gotten a bad name from online activity that mostly consists of self-congratulatory behavior & discussions that primarily reinforce their existing beliefs without fostering genuine debate, critical self-reflection, or engagement with diverse perspectives.
Dogmatic self-righteousness of those online voices can often seem more focused on mutual validation & alienating others (for personal validation) than on winning people over (changing their minds) to achieve real change.
It gives an impression of phony, performative activism for self-gratification that may make progressivism & good causes look fake & insincere.Some people are arguably woke (in the older sense) enough to acknowledge faults & critically reflect on them.

Self-confirmation bias is quite a rush. -
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.
Twas an obvious superimposition of letters to (likely) lie about the meaning of the tattoo, no?
Know MANY people saw:

After seeing pixels over years I saw:
Obviously the fact that you & 66 others just in this thread, and hundreds or thousands online are upset about the superimposition, indicate it was stupid/dishonest. Sigh what else is new w/current admin!

Self-confirmation bias is quite a rush.I have no idea what the hell you're even on about, dude.
But, no, if you do not oppose fascism, then you damn well do enable it. Whether you likes this or not doesn't change the fact that it's true. So go whine about your your moral high ground or where the hell you're on about as much as you want.
But since you are honestly sounding like you are attempting to defend fascism, I'm going to go ahead and permanently ignore your dumbass now...

That's called illiteracy.
Please learn to read & comprehend reading.
Maybe look shit up or crack open a book or just look at the words written in the comments carefully: where did anyone claim to defend fascism?Just another illiterate narcissist confirming why woke has a bad reputation.

If you're not woke your eyes are closed
Or stuffed with wool.

The anti woke crowd .. hear that it is in someway anti racist
And dismiss it . They like their racism... It makes them feel important and powerful
Bully them into submission, racism and anti woke is not accepted, rather have peaceful people being themselves, than the people getting angry for people loving the same gender or trying to love themselves

I honestly don't see people using "woke" positively these days.

But they’re trying to make that a pejorative too now.

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.
"Drawing Bayesian inferences after extensive sampling, I've determined that it's 99-percent certain that anyone who uses 'woke' as pejorative will turn out to be a fuckhead. Please don't blame me for pointing this out—it's just science." — Mike Godwin

well.. sure yeah. My point still stands about "woke" though.
