I prefer the one with Elon's face:

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

That's a good one

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 18 points 3 days ago

Because according to the definition by Fox News, everything is woke.

Even calling something woke, is woke.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Fascism 101.

They always turn on each other, don't they?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because "woke" has no hard definition and is just used as a derogatory term for anyone who doesn't agree with them. For them being "woke" is the worst thing someone can be. If that happens to be another right-winger then all well.

On top of that Trump has been courting every type of right-winger that even vaguely has a pulse to bolster his support. Essentially diluting whatever meaning "woke" had even further.

Imagine thinking that having your eyes open and your brain engaged is automatically bad.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I dunno, I lived through the 80's and 90's where something like 90% of people identified as Christian.

I also lived through the Bush II years where 70% of the country thought that Saddam Hussein was directly involved in the attacks and wanted to invade Iraq two years after 9/11

Thinking having your eyes open and your brain engaged is a bad thing is basically Americas modus operandi.

Those were the olden days, when we still had a slight bit of faith in our government to do the right things. Since then, we've learned the hard way that ALL Republicans are liars and traitors, and MOST Democrats are spineless weenies.

Nobody trusts either party to support the best interests of American citizens.

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 days ago

Because it's one of the ten adjectives they know?

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can we all abuse the word woke until it's like a common replacement for shit?

Like;

  • This coffee is fucking woke
  • I dumped a massive woke today
  • This president is a fucking woke hitler
  • Elon is as woke as it gets
[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

Sorry bro I don't drink woke coffee, I know how to brew the good woke

Woke War One?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

The term has yet to develop a consensus definition. The psychologist Jordan Peterson, who was one of the main figures popularizing the term, told Joe Rogan in April that the “woke right” was really a matter of “psychopaths” on social media who care mostly about being inflammatory and publicly antisemitic and only pretend to care about the conservative movement. Peterson and those like him see this phenomenon as the bile of the internet, rather than a matter for real political analysis.

We're all looking for the guy who did this!

The right has routed the left; its individual factions do not, at this moment, need their allies as they once did. The time is right instead for them to advocate for their own political projects.

The "left" has also routed the left. The two sides should team up to stamp out leftists altogether! Oh wait ..

haha, interesting.

Woke derives from the Middle English “woak”, meaning a particularly stout and deep-rooted tree.
