A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I think people of all races should be treated equally, which is apparently considered racist according to the woke ideology.

I just gave you the definition of woke from the American politician who is the most "anti-woke". How in the world can you interpret that definition as meaning it's racist to treat all races equally?

[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say it based on the definition you posted; but bassd on my countless encounters with “woke” people.

So you're making your own definition of woke and you don't like the definition you've settled on. Got it.

Feel free to take the definition I've give you and use it to educate others.

Whatever definition you use doesn't change what actual "woke” people think.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe. But it does change what YOU know to be the definition. Makes it easier to separate the people from the word.
