Woke is the new sheeple. In that if anyone describes anything as “woke” you know their argument is utter bullshit
During a trial in Florida, DeSantis’ officials were actually asked to define ‘woke’ and, for example, this is the answer General Counsel gave:
“it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
The horror! Wanting to make things better? Terrorists, obviously, all of them.

The reason they don’t like it is because they’re the ones responsible for the systematic injustices, and they’re in denial about it.
They are not in denial. They just don’t want to face that justice.
Hence the denial.
Their stance is essentially that racism, sexism, etc. is dead, therefore belaboring it is akin to McCarthyism hunting for KGB spies from the dead USSR.
Their stance is essentially that racism, sexism, etc. is dead,
Racism is dead. Now let’s blatantly redraw district lines to ensure the absolute disenfranchisement of voters based solely on race
I guess, but they never come right out and say that.
They do, but it’s rare because they think it’s common sense.
Liberals, leftists, and others maligned by the abuse of the word “woke” also don’t usually explain why that isn’t a bad thing, because to us it’s common sense.
In a
wordphrase? Echo chambers.
I always enjoy seeing old school examples of “wokeness”, and while I’m the farthest thing from patriotic I like seeing the fighting of prejudice framed as a patriotic duty as well
you know, that shit felt so good when we were young and being patriotic didn’t mean we were self serving everyone hating bastards :)
Yeah. Being woke requires you to be aware of what is happening.
Superman just shows up, and says “TIME TO SAVE PEOPLE!!!”. But he in general doesn’t know anything.
To be woke, he’d need knowledge of WHY the orphanage is on fire. He just happened to be flying around, saw a fire, and saved the orphans.
He’d be much angrier if he knew the orphanage was on fire because state legislatures cut funding to support the orphanage all so some dipship govenor can buy a 6th yacht.
I mean… he is also a reporter and a genius. Chances are he’s well aware of inequalities.
Superman got his start beating up slum lords. That’s not a joke. Superman started out as the sort of guy who rooted out corruption. The “aw, shucks” version of Superman is both a bit of a later development (and also kind of the persona that he takes on as Clark Kent)
The Netflix ‘daredevil’ season 1 really did a much better version of this.
He’s all too aware. As powerful as he is, he doesn’t have the ability to solve everyone’s problems everywhere all the time. This is a source of tremendous grief for him. That’s the whole reason he’s a compelling character and not just wish fulfillment.
I mean, ge did try to solve all the problems once, that lead to the injustice story.
The latest one smashed a few planes and tanks, and dropped a dictator on a cactus. I don’t think he was just stopping by for a rescue.
I didn’t know superman had wings and swung a mace around.
She dropped him on a roof from high up. He was more gentle.
He was fighting a billionaire and got his friends to do it.
Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you’re against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.
The unemployed auto sector worker believes “woke” means Chinese EVs.
The bigots believe “woke” means allowing gay people to exist.
The wealthy believe “woke” means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.
It’s a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that “woke” means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate “woke”, then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.
Woke is the new ‘unamerican’ label, which was used to criticize protests, equality, etc.
Yeah “Woke” is basically how “Trotskyite” was used during Stalin’s regime. Everyone they don’t like and opposes them just gets the label. It’s a word they can use to give their followers permission to hate someone without having their followers use their own fucking brains.
This is why their interlocutors should always be asking what they mean by woke but apparently that’s too hard for a journalist
In the 90s it was “political correctness.” Then it was “critical race theory.” Then it was “woke.” Now it’s “DEI.”
What hasn’t changed is the people spouting off this bullshit- Americans have had 30 years or so to deal with them and refuse to. When the victims can potentially be armed to the teeth, it’s hard not to victim blame.
Wife woke, phones woke, kids woke
please just let me snooze for 10 more minutes, I’m so tired
Not raping and howling slurs? Woke
Beat me to it
He seems delightfully woke to me.
Superman fought Nazis and the KKK.
My one critique on this countermovement is, I don’t like saying “It’s not woke!” Of course it’s woke - woke is a good thing. Woke means “I GET how shit is.”
The implied words by these grifters have been “woke…and being super naggy and preachy about it, and making all white men feel bad.” When I watch a movie like Django Unchained, and see a former slave slaughtering a bunch of slavers, I don’t feel preached to. I don’t get a sense it’s trying to make me feel bad. I just think: Yeah, man, fuck these slavers. I resolve to make the next generation better than them. And also: I’m glad this slight poetic statement on slavery was wrapped into a tense, action-packed, entertaining movie.
They tried this shit with feminism, diversity, equal opportunity, and every other word and term we like. Always inventing some context where all of them are bad. I don’t much like the retreat of saying “No no, this media isn’t woke!” Of course it’s woke! And that’s a good thing! People who hated “woke” need to take the L and wake up.
The antonym of ‘woke’ is ‘ignorant’. I know which one I’d rather be.
Woke means “aware of systemic inequality”. It’s been part of the English language for a hundred years, and the definition hasn’t shifted much.
When a Republican says they’re “anti-woke”, they mean that they are in favor of hiding systemic inequality, because they want to preserve it. They’re usually using the word correctly, even though they’ve failed to define it explicitly.
It’s the same as anti-antifa
That’s because the current iteration of Republicans rely on a perceived system of social hierarchies. There are in groups and out groups. The quiet part out loud is that inequality is the outcome being sought not some unfortunate byproduct of the system they intend to implement.
Used to mean. Now means just not being maximally gratuitously evil. Like get you thrown out of the RPG group evil.
It kinda is a targeted political agenda, but not all targeted political agendas are evil.
“Hey can you stop being a piece of shit and instead choose to be kind?” is the targeted political agenda, which is highly offensive to pieces of shit.
“Woke” just means something that they don’t like
Or something they know they they can’t respond to adequately. Which, is almost everything
usually its a placeholder for BIGOTED WORD, like N word, the deragotory trans word, or any anti-POC word or straight up misogyny. you see this most in current movies and SHOWS. such as referring to ANGELS as masculine in nature, while they are GENDERLESS for the most part. when its not referring to super specifc media like DCU.
Superman is an illegal immigrant1, who has stolen American jobs and fought the president2. Clearly woke.
- Kryptonian by birth though one can argue him being found and adopted by the Kents might make it moot.
- Lex Luthor was president for a while and that was a whole thing.
There’s no argument, Clark Kent is an illegal immigrant just like the kids who arrived here before they had memories and trump and ice are deporting them

Tweet von @CasioWiser:Anonymous got that woke mind virus @elonmusk Antwort von @YourAnonNews: You fools throw around the word “woke” like it’s some kind of slur, it’s actually quite funny. You probably don’t know the meaning of the word, so let us school your tiny little mind. The word means that we’re alert to social injustices - such as racism and discrimination, that we’re cool with LGBTQ+ rights, we’re aware of economic disparities between the super-rich and working class, and that we’re cool with equal rights for all people. So - when you use it as a slur, we understand that you are against these things - that you are pro racism and discrimination, that you are not ok with LGBTQ+ people and you’re cool with the super-rich raping the working class - and that you’re not ok with equal rights. Don’t hide, just come out and say it - tell everyone you’re a Nazi.
Understanding is woke
Superman is the very definition of woke, and that’s a good thing.
Didn’t watch, but I have to say I am super anti-woke in the morning; I really, really love sleep.
The only anti-woke cap I respect:
Why were those ever a thing?
Because houses were cold af in the winter.
Makes sense.
It’s fashion, daggermoon, you wouldn’t get it
I have a unique fashion sense.
I didn’t understand until I lived off-grid and the house was often below 50 degrees at bedtime.
I wore the modern version: sweatpants, hoodie and beanie. I tell you it’s nice to be warm in bed when it’s close to actually freezing inside.
