Yes it is. Woke is feelings over facts. And when you look at homelessness through the lense of wokeness all that is allowed is feeling bad for them. That is, of course, spun as empathy by the woke cult. And from the perspective of "empathy" your hands are tied to do anything that feels like it might hurt the "victims". Ironically you are not allowed to feel bad about all the evil those victims are doing.

No it's not. The 'woke' approach it not defined in this odd circular mental gymnastic way. By definition, a "woke" person is merely "alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination." That's it. No convoluted theory about empathy as a spin tactic (WTF). All "woke" people would side with the lady in the video who had her place attacked, because she's a victim of "injustice". Regarding homess encampments, that's a problem for the city to solve. Because rent it too expensive for many in the US, thanks to late stage capitalism and a lack of regulations, each city is required to sort out it's homeless population problem. This has absolutely nothing to do with wokeness. And that lady was a victim of it. What far right assholes want you to believe is that the homeless encampments and victims burglaries are somehow related to protesting black people four years ago. It's not related. What's needed is for politicians to do their fucking jobs, rather than rely on wealthy donors to promote online stupid unlerelated theories about wokeness.

By definition,

By who's definition? There is a reason studies that are based on self reporting are mostly wrong. Obviously the woke are going to insist on a definition that enforces their propaganda and self delusions. That definition is undescriptive at best, and absolutely inconsistent with reality. Literally everyone is aware of discrimination and injustice and everyone cares. The difference comes down to believing the most incorrect and radical claims about those things. So what defines the woke are those things that make them say and act in ways divorced from the general public. Divorced from reality.

Arguably the woke are less concerned about injustice than others. For starters the woke are absolutely unconcerned with injustices and discrimination against white people. They think racism against white people is a valid tool to "correct the injustices of the past". Nearly everything the woke do is designed to be anti white. And when it comes to justifying that racism they regularly use racist tools like group guilt and unsubstantiated and racist claims of group privilege.

When it comes to discussions about what the causes and solutions are to any problem the woke distinguish themselves from everyone else by being completely hostile towards provable facts when those facts challenge their race theory propaganda. The woke stand in the way of viable long term solution. There is no valuable definition of woke that does not include that fundamental nature of those engulfed in that ideology. That is the part of the woke most relevant to the definition because that is what distinguishes them the most from everyone else.

Your "definition" is nothing more than an accusation that those who are not woke don't care. That is a lie. Your "definition" is nothing more than propaganda.

Your "definition" is nothing more than an accusation that those who are not woke don't care. That is a lie. Your "definition" is nothing more than propaganda.

This is an accurate summary of the cognitive dissonance.
