Well that's the problem. The woke (remember the label started as a self-denominator, it wasn't given by opponents, just made into a parody) are the most intolerant group of people.

They hold radically hateful views of those who disagree with them and don't contemplate the idea of just let everyone be and do whatever the hell they want as long as they don't harm others. The excuse of course is that "being" a certain way is already an offense and an attack on them, so there's no escape from the hate.

I argue that in the end they are the other side of the coin of their Evangelical parents. They've been raised in an equally intolerant environment, and they react against it, but with the same mindset.

It was a term originating in the black community to mean switched on. I don't know who then brought it to the wider culture, maybe Jack Dorsey... Anyway, the pejorative use has got pretty lame, for the reasons stated before.

There's a lot of intolerant people about, Karl Popper said some shit on the subject...

All kinds of people have been labelled woke, this post is probably woke, the letter J is definitely woke and hair is wokest of all. I don't think it's just the rebellious children of evangelicals. All the things are true as are none of the things true.

Lumping loads of people into one group doesn't work for me. I'd rather deal with people on a case by case basis, although some will have a greater level of distrust from me at the outset (I'm thinking politicians and finance people on podcasts).

Before woke there was political correctness, after woke there DEI. A lot of people are always looking to 'other' people. Fortunately here's some Frank Zappa. #OtherPeople https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ffZ4aOXcGR8&listen=1
