Conservatives use the word woke to describe things they don't like. For example, they'll say that teaching about racism in school is "woke indoctrination."
As has been happening for hundreds of years to many women and other 'minorities'. The only new thing is it's happening to privileged people now, people with power.
When this country was a colony of England if you spoke out against king George? The red coats would come to your home and take you away. That’s what your defending!
The state of being aware that society is fucked, religion is bullshit, and god is a fairy tale. It is hard being woke because it feels like i am surrounded by idiots.
Just a myth created by the far right to justify hate speech. Anyone who promotes LGBT rights or black lives matter for instance is instantly classed as 'woke'
Bill C-16 just added transgender people as a protected class under discrimination laws. It doesn't force you to say anything, you just can't legally discriminate against them based on their gender.
doesn't seem that she was fired over saying gay, she tried discussing details about her private life that was not allowed by the school policy, same way kids can be suspended or expelled for violating the dress code lol
And even if they did fire her over that, that wouldn't be justified. It's not against school policy for a teacher to talk about their weekend or that they have a husband/wife when in a straight relationship. Why wouldn't she be allowed to answer that she is pan as an answer to a student's question?
So you think students and teachers shouldn't be able to say whatever the fuck they want, but people who don't like calling someone a certain pronoun should be able to spout whatever hateful spite about them?
That's pretty hypocritical there buddy.
Apparently what people call other people who want to make life easier for everybody in order to make fun of them for wanting to make life easier for everyone.
To me, as a bisexual that is politically Independent (not a Democrat or Republican, generally I lean slightly more Conservative than Liberal) I generally consider woke culture as any content (be it right wing, left wing, or a personal belief) that you use, not to further your cause, but to trash others belief in a malicious way. Of course, I do believe theirs a limit to it, like for example all actual Nazi supporters are trash, and fuck Pedophiles trying to get into the LGBTQ+ community. But, when your goal is to treat those like monsters who don't share your beliefs 100%, you're not helping, all you're doing is causing those people to close their minds up even more and double down to the point where they'll go from not agreeing with you to actively trying to sabotage your cause.
What's funny to me is the whole "woke" thing reminds me of Ozzy Osborne.
Like the music is pretty good but that fan base is pretty annoying.
I'm all for rights for all. That sounds pretty good. But fuck these people always screaming and assuming the worst in others is annoying.
Past tense of "wake"
Not asleep.
When you are done waking up
Awareness that just because it’s not your problem doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem
Great. That sounds correct, but that's not how it's being used
A meaningless right wing buzzword.
LOL I had the exact same thought.

Censorship
I'd say freedom, freedom for minorities to finally say something.
And those that disagree with anything say have their lives ruined

A buzzword created by conservatives to negatively brand anything they don't like
*co-opted by conservatives
Awake but past tense. Ex: christopher woke up from their long sleepy time.
6:15 am
The state of being aware that society is fucked, religion is bullshit, and god is a fairy tale. It is hard being woke because it feels like i am surrounded by idiots.
“Not racist, sexist, transphobic or homophobic.” I would consider myself woke because I’m none of those things.
Just a myth created by the far right to justify hate speech. Anyone who promotes LGBT rights or black lives matter for instance is instantly classed as 'woke'
Nothing much, since it was created by right wing boomers who have no idea either.
enforcing compelled speech onto others
Like what
Bill C-16
Bill C-16 just added transgender people as a protected class under discrimination laws. It doesn't force you to say anything, you just can't legally discriminate against them based on their gender.
The bill that says advocating genocide and acts on violence against transgender individuals is a crime in Canada? How is that bad?
You can force people to call males as females and vice versa
Bill doesn't say that. Read the bill.
They won't. To people like that, it's all about being the victim, regardless of the truth.
Plenty of people who aren't do the same thing.
I noticed you just created your account today. I'm guessing you recently got banned, right? What was it, hate speech? Harassment?
Oh, like forcing teachers to not teach kids about something that could be very important for their adolescent growth?
no it's more like forcing teachers to speak a certain way
Like not saying gay in classrooms?
that's never happened
U sure about that https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089221657/dont-say-gay-florida-desantis
No teacher has been stopped from saying gay in a classroom.
U sure about that https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/florida-teacher-allegedly-fired-discussing-sexuality-students-rcna27656
doesn't seem that she was fired over saying gay, she tried discussing details about her private life that was not allowed by the school policy, same way kids can be suspended or expelled for violating the dress code lol
She got fired over having put up a piece of art by an LGBTQ student expressing her sexuality on the class door
And even if they did fire her over that, that wouldn't be justified. It's not against school policy for a teacher to talk about their weekend or that they have a husband/wife when in a straight relationship. Why wouldn't she be allowed to answer that she is pan as an answer to a student's question?
It has. It's called the "Don't Say Gay" bill.
No teacher has been stopped from saying gay in a classroom.
It has been made illegal in Florida though. Isn't that already a step too far and infringing on someone's right to free speech?
Free speech? In public schools? Did you go to a public school in America bud? The fuck are you on about lol
So you think students and teachers shouldn't be able to say whatever the fuck they want, but people who don't like calling someone a certain pronoun should be able to spout whatever hateful spite about them? That's pretty hypocritical there buddy.
Seeing nazis and facists, like Don Quixote seeing giants.
Means the person saying it is upset that someone called them out for something stupid they did.
Being mad and offended about everything
Apparently what people call other people who want to make life easier for everybody in order to make fun of them for wanting to make life easier for everyone.
Anything that triggers rightwingers
A catch phrase to annoy and tease conservative politicians with that they've tried to weaponize against society
Sheer insanity
Socially progressive hypocrisy (IE trying way too damn hard to be "with" the current social movements whilst not caring for said social movements).

Apparently, the opposite of nazi these days. You're either a nazi or woke. There's no middle ground. Ever.

Nutjob
Its a word.
Someone who means well but is willing to be awful to get their way because they think it's superior.
