I thought it was what we’re doing after we’re done sleeping. Apparently it means something else?!?

I really think the moderators should consider developing a trigger warning message once threads with sensitive and traumatic content are started. That way visitors will know whether or not it's safe to enter a thread.

If you are regularly using woke, it's probably a sign that you are over 50.

It went from something used earnestly by very dumb people describing their own political awakening to a way to mock those people to an inside joke about conspiracy theories to an overused insult by people who didn’t get the original joke from phase 2.

What even is "woke," anyway? What's a "social justice warrior"? What's "political correctness"? Who keeps coming up with these terms? I've never heard of them. I think it's just called being a good person.

Does being a good person mean you have to be perfect? Why is there a competition to make everyone a bad person?

:lol: Come on. If you want to excuse atrocious behavior because the perpetrators vaguely share some similar political goals with you, that's fine. Just don't try to tell me they're "good people."

I'm not talking specifically about those actions. I'm simply asking if a good person has to be perfect. There appears to be a competition to tear everyone down. With people making similar arguments as the one you made. "That person once did ______, so they're forever an awful person.

It’s tearing others down but also (or mostly) virtue signaling.

There’s a level of earnestness in replies here I find unbecoming for a Sprial post.

"Woke" is white people pretending to care about important social issues, human rights and equality for all on social media when in real life they don't really give a shit about any of it. These are the types that hope to never be around blacks, gays or trans but love to have the appearance of having a bleeding heart to impress their white friends who also don't give a shit. Then those white friends have to pretend to be impressed and subsequently have to join the "pretend game" to show their fake white friends they are like them.

Or do the "pretend act" on the radio like Dan Bernstein.

Yup, allows people who want to seem sympathetic act like they care, and then they go home and kick their dog, or belittle a local sports person for their physical apperance, yet pile on when another local sports person makes a joke about someones physical appearance.

You must carefully balance out the likes you get for appearing woke to make sure you can get away with saying something unwoke, very difficult "calculus" as our little pal Danny Parkins likes to say.

The main goal is to maintain the status quo by confusing people and obfuscating the issues so that nothing ever really gets done and problems never get solved, and if that is the goal then it has been incredibly successful.

It's like when you were a kid and you'd go to your grandparents house and afterwards your parents would have to have a discussion with you about some of the things they said but instead of your grandparents saying those things it is a few politicians, Roseanne Barr, and a pillow salesman.
