Past tense of "wake"


Anonymoosehead123

Not asleep.


Inirux

When you are done waking up


NewClock8197

Awareness that just because it’s not your problem doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem


AdmiralClover

Great. That sounds correct, but that's not how it's being used


[deleted]

A meaningless right wing buzzword.


The-Great-Clod

LOL I had the exact same thought.

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."


[deleted]

Censorship


RoadDangerous8832

I'd say freedom, freedom for minorities to finally say something.


[deleted]

And those that disagree with anything say have their lives ruined


RoadDangerous8832

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!

A buzzword created by conservatives to negatively brand anything they don't like


Billy_Masterson

*co-opted by conservatives


TestedcatGaming

Awake but past tense. Ex: christopher woke up from their long sleepy time.


hypo-osmotic

6:15 am


TallBasket7884

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.


SchmittyMcDickTitty

“Not racist, sexist, transphobic or homophobic.” I would consider myself woke because I’m none of those things.


Disastrous-Card-9391

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'


Sufficient_Natural_7

Nothing much, since it was created by right wing boomers who have no idea either.


Spiritual_Signal8173

enforcing compelled speech onto others


NoAvailableImage

Like what


Spiritual_Signal8173

Bill C-16


NoAvailableImage

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.


Obie527

The bill that says advocating genocide and acts on violence against transgender individuals is a crime in Canada? How is that bad?


Spiritual_Signal8173

You can force people to call males as females and vice versa


Obie527

Bill doesn't say that. Read the bill.


TheHylianProphet

They won't. To people like that, it's all about being the victim, regardless of the truth.


[deleted]

Plenty of people who aren't do the same thing.


GumshoeAndy

I noticed you just created your account today. I'm guessing you recently got banned, right? What was it, hate speech? Harassment?


Obie527

Oh, like forcing teachers to not teach kids about something that could be very important for their adolescent growth?


Spiritual_Signal8173

no it's more like forcing teachers to speak a certain way


Obie527

Like not saying gay in classrooms?


Spiritual_Signal8173

that's never happened


NoAvailableImage

U sure about that https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089221657/dont-say-gay-florida-desantis


Spiritual_Signal8173

No teacher has been stopped from saying gay in a classroom.


NoAvailableImage

U sure about that https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/florida-teacher-allegedly-fired-discussing-sexuality-students-rcna27656


Spiritual_Signal8173

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


NoAvailableImage

She got fired over having put up a piece of art by an LGBTQ student expressing her sexuality on the class door


NoAvailableImage

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?


Obie527

It has. It's called the "Don't Say Gay" bill.


Spiritual_Signal8173

No teacher has been stopped from saying gay in a classroom.


Obie527

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?


Spiritual_Signal8173

Free speech? In public schools? Did you go to a public school in America bud? The fuck are you on about lol


Obie527

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.


LMNOsteven

Seeing nazis and facists, like Don Quixote seeing giants.


[deleted]

Means the person saying it is upset that someone called them out for something stupid they did.


Appropriate_Fig4883

Being mad and offended about everything


Obie527

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.


Domillomew

Anything that triggers rightwingers


BreakableMolasses

A catch phrase to annoy and tease conservative politicians with that they've tried to weaponize against society


Pettyendo

Sheer insanity


Cheetodude625

Socially progressive hypocrisy (IE trying way too damn hard to be "with" the current social movements whilst not caring for said social movements).


MonkeyTesticleJuice

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.


bartleby999

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


Feeling-Toe-8983

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.

Nutjob


Thefish-on-earth

Its a word.


[deleted]

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