I just read through the original thread where this came from, and wow, some people really don't know what "Woke" means and seem to think it's a good thing. As if it stands for understanding reality?! Wow!

The woke are the people who have been trained in "because I said so" and never question the narrative someone they look up to is telling them. Their reactions to being told actual reality is to scream until the other person backs off.

That lady's understand of woke is not at all what it is!

I've come across her before and noticed something was off so I didn't follow her. Makes more sense now.

She's conflating what she thinks she believes as a good thing and calls it woke?! Jikes!!!! 😬

It's a bit like saying "I'm a Christian" and then denying Jesus being God or His resurrection.

I think she actually is Swiss, who are a more intellectual country, so now I'm wondering if in their country they have all been taught my their news that woke has a different meaning than it does here in the US, or if it's just her 🤔😬

Woke is basically like "awake," it is usually used to mean understanding reality

You even seem to be using it that way here, but with a lot of lies and gaslighting mixed in because you don't like people who understand reality. Not sure though, I didn't read the thread

Just a quote, no comment:

"Woke is now defined in this dictionary as 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),' and identified as U.S. slang."

That's a particularly awful definition, intentionally watered down. I would go with the original, and, IMO, correct definition that centers on "critical consciousness."

I am reading through. Your link is maby an extension. But not a contradiction to my note. Woke is about awareness.

The Beave 4mo ago

Awareness of what, specifically?

That's the more important question, since when you dig down into how all those words are defined to be used by the ones who define and use "woke" "correctly" (in their minds), you find that it is just about the ultimate subversion of language as a means of usurping literally everything. It's disgusting.

Defnitly this word has been abused in the last years mostly to creat a monstrous diabolic group. But to have a discussion, one has to define a definition. This is the general problem with language always. That one can only understand the other side, when the used words are describing the same thing.

I am not a fan of the word woke and am not using it usually. I just do not like it, when it is critizised for attributes, that are far away from widly consensed definitions as you brought it up for example.

Dictionary's compromised

It amuses me when self-professed wokesters don't even know the origins of the word and also don't understand how the original definers manipulated words and continue to do so in order to manipulate people into accepting their twisted propoganda.

AnnSofiNovelist 4mo ago

Exactly. Redefining words to mean something other than what they actually mean is one of their core actions.

The Beave 4mo ago

Marx and Hegel are certainly the ones to blame for that.
