This weekly thread will focus on the word "Woke" and its meaning, use, and misuse.
Some Starters (and don’t feel you have to speak on all or any of them if you don’t care to):
- What does the word mean to you?
- Is it applied correctly or incorrectly?
- Is it even applicable any longer?
- Do you feel that Conservative media misapplies it, and is "everything I don't like is woke" an appropriate sentiment or simply uncharitable?
Yes. Which I agree with and feeds into what I said.
If someone is passing (or is perceived to be passing) a moral judgement because of what they feel is right, and someone else doesn't feel they deserve that scorn, there's no doubt that those judged react negatively. This is true no matter the sides involved.
The examples I gave don't disregard this in any way. Are you able to articulate why they might?
Also, speaking as a mod, we don't downvote people we disagree with here, only people who don't add to the discussion or who go on the attack.
