    a few problems with this comment:

    1. woke is net a left wing counterpart to “redpilled” it’s a term at least 160 years old
    2. anyone who claims to be woke is instantly not woke. you have to earn being called woke by an oppressed person. you can claim to be conscious to aspects of this system of oppression, but you cannot claim to be woke or conscious without instantly demonstrating yourself to be a performative ally
    3. your issue is not with whether or not being woke is good, your issue is with whether or not claiming to be woke is good, in which case, see point 2
    4. conservatives use redpilled wrong just like they use woke wrong. they just generally use any terms of consciousness wrong because fascism is a scam that promises progressive benefits through status quo, an obvious logical fallacy

    your issue isn’t with “woke” your issue is with how conservatives use the word woke, literally the point of the OP

      Okay, I know when it’s a waste of time to keep reading a comment. This is Advanced Bad Faith, lol.

        i’m being for real. and that you deny real history and say real history is “bad faith” is terrifying. you’re being willfully unaware of what’s going on around here and declaring yourself to be superior in knowing what’s going on
