"wHaT iS wOkE aNyWay?" When idiots try to gaslight you. Woke: A Definition.

submitted by Mcheetah from (self.whatever)

Woke Culture (noun)

Woke (adjective)

Wokeness (noun)

Wokeness is legitimate bigotry and Marxist propaganda attacking the "approved targets" (white people, men, biological women, conservatives, Republicans, Christians, patriotic Americans, etc.) that far-left liberals use to project their insanity and Marxist ideology onto, while gaslighting people that it's all about "diversity and inclusivity" (something that's been around for more than half a century in Western media, at this point.)

Back in 2011-2012, it originally used to mean "to be aware of the bigotry directed at you by mainstream society." And it still does mean that. Only the bigotry and bullying comes from the powerful establishment political left, while they act like victims trying to cancel people and send them death threats over playing a Harry Potter video game.

People who criticize the criticism of woke content, are usually just disingenuous morons who want to pretend like this isn't being funded by BlackRock and some of the largest companies in the world and often like to gaslight and strawman people, as if being upset over wokeness is needless complaining from so-called "tinfoil hat-wearing, alt-right, MAGA Trumpers who celebrate January 6th like it's a holiday." It's disingenuous BS whenever they ask "wHaT iS wOkE? tHaT's aLl tHe RiGhT tAlKs aBoUt!" As if Larry Fink, Klaus Schwab, and The Great Reset don't exist.

This is the best definition I've seen made by the opposition of the Canadian parliament Pierre Poilievre.

“And as for the definition of woke, well, woke has one purpose, and only one purpose. It has plenty of pretext but only one purpose: control. It is designed to divide people by race, by gender, by ethnicity, by religion, by vaccine status, and any other way that they can divide people into groups because then you can justify having a government to control all those groups.”

Every since the faggot kikes on CNN ordered their braindead retards to retort by demanding for a definition, the sheep have relied on that as their failed gotcha attempt when confronted.

Wokeness is... Marxist propaganda

It isn't. "Wokeness" really has nothing to do with Karl Marx.

It's a word with a weird, twisting history. It started off exclusively meaning "aware the the police mean you harm if you're black." Then it spent like a year or two in 2014-2015 meaning "fanatically committed to all aspects of social justice," and then by the time Trump was in office it was used exclusively by the Right to insult the Left.

And it was such a Millennial word that, yeah, Zoomers are often like "What does that word even mean, it's just this weird random insult that crazy people keep hurling at me because I don't hate gay people."

Bit of an odd time jump you did there. Going directly from 1938 to 2014, and then on to Trump and the right wing, and then claiming it to be a Millennial slang, vs Zoomer?

You clearly need to Wake up.

[–]Mcheetah[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

The word "woke" was created by intersectional fourth wave feminist Bell Hooks. It started out as I stated: "to be aware 'they' are against you." Only the "they" were "Whitey" at the time, and the 'conservative' police state. It changed into meaning "social justice minded" around 2016 during Trump's first presidential run, and became a household name around 2019 or so when Hollywood started making shitty girl-boss movies like Captain Marvel.

The irony is that the original meaning of the word "woke" is now a right-leaning concept, now known as being "red-pilled." To be red-pilled is the right-wing equivalent of what woke originally meant 13 years ago. Only now, the liberals are the ones in power, so it's seen as a "bad" thing. It is 100% Marxist propaganda nowadays; it just didn't start out that way.

This is really spoken like someone who doesn't know any liberals. Let me help clue you in about how the word is perceived amongst the left-wing public.

First, only Millennials have ever used the word to self-identity. Left-leaning Boomers, X-ers, and Zoomers never used it. It was very much a Tumblr/Reddit phenomenon. Which means that unless the person you're talking to is about 35, they won't recognize it as anything but some random slur Ron DeSantis made up

Second, fewer than one percent of people who identify as left-wing have one flying fuck to give about Karl Marx, some centuries-dead philosopher who once predicted incorrectly that factory workers would one day overthrow the factory owners and run the factories collectively. Almost everyone recognizes it as an Industrial-Revolution philosophy with no relevance to modern economic or social issues.

Uh, no. Your assumption is wrong again. I'm not only from a super-liberal East Coast city with relatives (not "family" but relatives) who are super-liberal to the point of almost being woke, but up until 2015, I actually used to be a Liberal. You know, before they became fascist dipshits who talk about "victimhood" and "fighting the good fight" against innocent conservatives and rational people while being millionaires protected by the government, establishment media, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and the largest corporation on Earth, Blackrock. I know modern-day Liberals and I can't fucking stand them. (And no, I'm not a Conservative; they're sometimes just as stupid as the left with their religious dogma and pro-Life bullshit.)

And why are you bringing up Millennials? I never even argued against this point or brought up ages. I don't even disagree with that point. It is very much a Millennial buzzword.

You seem to be confusing traditional Marxism with modern Identity Politics, even though woke culture is literally rooted in Marxism. If anything, you can call it Neo-Marxism, if you prefer. I just left the gym and don't want to spend 30 minutes explaining all the minutia of identity politics Marxism, aka wokeness, so I'm just going to link you to a few relatively recent videos to explain it. Let me "clue you in" on it.

We have fairly similar stories. I identified as liberal until 2014, when I noticed a sudden seismic shift in the left wing and realized it had left me behind. And now I reject partisan politics entirely.

The fact that we have such similar stories makes me baffled as to why you believe this guy is insightful while I immediately identify him as full of shit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1814HNjVntA

He correctly reports that Karl Marx wrote that human history is about class struggle - about the tension between those with resources and those who have to work for a tiny slice of those resources. All the way back to the pharaohs and the artisans who had to build their tombs.

But then he takes this crazy turn out of nowhere and insists that that means that any conflict between two groups is therefore Marxist.

So... France versus Germany? Marxist.

Tory vs. Labour? Marxist.

Raiders vs. Giants? Marxist.

Gay vs. Straight? Marxist.

And frankly, this conclusion is stupid. It is mega fucking stupid.

[–]Mcheetah[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I remember our conversation from before. You said how you're into cuckolding and doing... "something" physical with lesbians; typically old ones near or over 40, and how actual straight women (biological women who'd actually want anything to do with men) and women who want actual relationships doesn't appeal to you. That grosses me out on a visceral level and I find it extremely emasculating. So no; we're nothing similar.

[He] insists that that means that any conflict between two groups is therefore Marxist.

I don't think that was the actual argument, as I don't think that was said at all. I think you're strawmanning. Either way, what about the other two videos? The whole point is that it's all about class warfare and "oppressors versus oppressed" and that the woke sees everything in victim vs privilege status, and instead of actual unity, they just want to become the new oppressors (and in some circles, like Hollywood, already have been for years.) That's the entire basis of Marxism.

I've been on the internet long enough to know not to waste too much time on someone who can't, or doesn't, want to have their mind changed, but that's the gist of it. Oppressed vs Oppressor, and seizing the so-called "power" from the oppressor, to "uplift" the oppressed. That's about as much as I feel like explaining it, cause it's not hard to Google the rest yourself and I'm tired right now.

[–]Hematomato 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Nah, I'm not into cuckolding. I'm polyamorous. Meaning I have three partners. And yeah, they're bisexual. Spoooooky scary bisexuals.

We're raising an eight year old child together. We own a house together. I'd say it's a real relationship.

I don't think that was the actual argument, as I don't think that was said at all. I think you're strawmanning

It was the actual argument. He said "See? Marxism is about conflict between groups! CRT is about conflict between groups! Therefore CRT IS MARXISM."

Which is the exact same logic as "humans have cells; trees have cells; therefore humans are trees."

Marx was concerned about how people born into property exploit the labor of people who aren't. He didn't write about race. He wasn't American. He certainly didn't give a shit about whether racism could be baked into an institution in ways that presented themselves decades later even in the absence of personal racial antipathy.

But, hey. Trees have cells. Humans have cells. Therefore: same thing. Google it, because I don't have time to educate you about biology.

He doesn't believe in bisexuality. He keeps on calling me queer and dyke 😂. He also thinks I'm a neoliberal despite me being centrist economically and nowhere near the authoritarian right quadrant 😂

[–]Hematomato 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

It's such a weird thing not to believe in. It's like refusing to believe in kangaroos because you aren't Australian. And no matter how many times people say: mate, I've seen them, they're very common, you just steadfastly insist that everyone's lying to you.

[–]gloomy_bear 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I know 😂. There's even some bisexuals that lie about being heterosexual or homosexual too. Like it's the second most common sexuality after heterosexual.

You actually don't know what you're talking about. Woke is an intellectual wedge to promote Marxist ideology

[–]Hematomato 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Unfortunately it's you who have no idea what you're talking about. The Left tends to believe that historically marginalized groups should be elevated because that's what's just. That's pretty much it. The idea that it all goes back to some conspiracy rooted in some centuries-dead philosopher's ideas is just right-wing batfuckery.

Did you support BLM?

https://nypost.com/2020/06/25/blm-co-founder-describes-herself-as-trained-marxist/

Keep looking, you'll see that Marxism has permeated what was once liberalism.

[–]Hematomato 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Did you support BLM?

No, I thought it was racist.

But here's the thing: 99% of people who support BLM have no idea who the founder is, or even that there is a founder.

They aren't secretly trying to seize the means of production and collectivize the factories. They just want black people to stop getting shot by police at higher rates.

[–]ID10T 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That is also a dubious claim

Yeah, I'm aware that records aren't kept vigorously enough to prove it one way or the other. I'm just telling you what the Left actually believes. It's that black people are killed at higher rates than white people. It is not that we should form a dictatorship of the proletariat.

At least you've spotted that Marxist ideology is a bad thing.

Which is why the world's democracies are supporting Ukraine against a Marxist–Leninist power, which, in turn, is supported by a communist superpower.

[–]ID10T 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Interesting that modern liberals support war to "stop the spread of communism". And the liberals of yesteryear fought to stop the war Vietnam. A war that was ostensibly about stopping the spread of communism. Why is that?

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Russia invaded Ukraine. Everyone is against the war, except Putin, supporting by Xi and his puppet Kim. That means resisting Russia's brutal expansionism, and genocide.

woke: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

Saidit: when TERFs and Trump supporters decide to make their platform separate from Reddit because they are being censored.

Yes. They worship whore like god

Did you forget that Jesus is in the Quran and you're calling him a whore like God? And if there's only one God, then that means that the Christian God and the Muslim God are the same God and you're cursing your God by saying this? Think about it.

Do you remember that Zakir naik plainly stated that the name of Muhammad is found in the Christian Bible and yet you are calling the Christian God a whore God?

You need to go back to stupid School.

Here is my definition:

Woke: The majority needs to subject their minds, speech, and behavior to appease the interests of human minorities.

(example: denying the fact that people are male and female to appease the sensibility of perverts)

Interestingly the republican party has a similar thing going on, but for them "human minorities" are replaced by "corporate special interests."

(example: denying climate change and the corrupting influence of money in politics.)
