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.

It's easier too. You don't gotta constantly be vigilant for the next way the woke industrial complex is trying to indoctrinate you. Because they won.

They go me already. We're doing unisex bathrooms? Ok then. Eighty new variants of pride flag just dropped yesterday? Well there's a lot of new colour combos I'll forget in 30 seconds but alright. Pronouns can be wholly silent, like the P in Pterodactyl? I cannot comprehend how that works but sure it literally will never affect me in a negative way.

Saying a person is woke is like saying they are not a mindless sheep going through life asleep at the wheel.

Yeah seriously I'll never understand how it's an insult. Conservatives call having empathy "woke" and I'm like "yes, yes it is woke. Your point?".

Petition to rename Twitter again, to Twatter. I know, I know, my intellect is frightening sometimes. /s

There are people who have not called it Twatter from day one? Huh...

It's been Xitter (pronounced "Shitter") since the rebranding

I agree that wokeness is more enlightened than ignorance, but I also wonder how woke it is to scorn the less enlightened so hard.

I'm sure someone is somewhere grappling with that.

Since the politicians they support and voted in are actively dismantling the government, erecting a dictatorship, and enacting policies guaranteed to get people needlessly killed I don't find myself burdened by such concerns.

Can we really reach MAGA racists with memes like this? Where’s the conversation about actually helping them awaken?
