Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it’s not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

Reminder that woke was originally used as a positive term.
Not really. It was just another fart sniffer word some groups liked to use.
Still is if you aren’t a twat
Nowadays I prefer the term “correct”.
I honestly don’t see people using “woke” positively these days.
Also a reminder that woke is used negatively by the same people who cannot tell the difference between badly photoshopped letters and a gang tattoo.
I think it’s wild that the word ‘woke’ entirely replaced the selective outrage on the 2010s over “CRT,” a bogyman that most white conservatives still cannot define.
My stupid ass: “why did the conservatives have an issue with Cathode Ray Tube TVs?”
Because super smash brothers is woke
Fuck yeah it is.
Lol, yeah that was constantly the problem I had back then, especially since MAGA was using “CRT” as the scare word, and not nothing to mention that it means “Critical Race Theory,” a phrase well in-line with other subjects in other fields, like Biblical Critical Theory.
See also: politically correct (PC) and social justice warrior (SJW)…all just fancy ways to call someone a commie pinko bleeding heart socialist. The Red Scare never really stopped, and neither did the Lavender Scare
That was depressing. I knew our president was dumb, but I still didn’t think he could be that dumb.
I struggle to understand how you guys in the US missed the signs. I mean… stuff like “they are eating the dogs” should sparkle some doubts, right?
No reminder needed for me, but for those who might want to do a deep dive:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke#20th_century
I wince any time someone says something like “Wake up!”, “Take the red pill!” etc.
It invariably means “Start believing the shite I believe”
What’s amusing is that the Wikipedia article traces its origin back to the Republican Party.
