"Anti-woke" author asked to define what "woke" means; brain melts & goes mega viral

[Bloodflowers.]

 

This has been old for few days now but nobody on ATRL made a thread for this conservative grifter author who throws around word "woke" without knowing what it means

“Sorry it’s har to explain in 15 seconds sounbite” 

 

“You take your time”

LMAOO the word has lost all meaning at this point. it used to mean being empathetic towards others who are different from you, but it's just lost all meaning atp

 

"this is gonna be one of those clips that goes viral"  at least she could clearly define what was gonna happen bc of this clip

Honestly. These people are so stupid, they've made their entire persona about being the antithesis of something they either can't define, or won't define, because they know the meaning of "woke" is to be knowledgeable, or supportive of minority communities. But they're out here being openly bigoted. What a joke.

[Da Vinci]

That's how I see anti-woke people in general tbh

CLEARLY there's a reason why "wokeness" triggers them but they can't say it out loud

The way Ken Klippenstein trolled her by going through her old tweets and found the grossest ****.

I am positive it meant acknowledging and being aware of systematic racism, discrimination, and the political and societal climate. I don't know why she flubbed up the answer. It's quite simple

The interviewer from the OP made a great follow-up video explaining how it got to the point of asking her to define what "woke" means to her, and the discussion around the terminology in general

The word "woke" has completely lost its meaning due to the disconnect between what it originally was meant to entail. As someone else said above, it was just being knowledgable and supportive of minority groups. But now it seems like even people who are woke by that definition hate "wokeness" because they associate it with all of the ridiculously chronically-online twitter/tiktok/etc. takes.

but what does it really mean? 

[slik]

it means being aware of injustices and inequality

There was some lady on tiktok who was harassing target employees because the boys section had pastel and neon shirts...apparently that is now WOKE and not just a current trend, like it was in the early 90s during the era of Fresh Prince and Saved By The Bell

Yes mama. She said "take your time." I'm dead. 

[JustLikeHoney]

The part where she says "redo the heiarchy." She means get rid of white privilege and she will not stand for that. 

 

This *****, I can't even. 

[elevate]

Anti wokeness at this point is just synonymous with bullying / cruelty to the point of barely being human, which a lot of people still like unfortunately.

 

It's not that surprising that this group talks a lot but has nothing to say. Haven't we gotten bored yet? lol.

Something tells me this woman is not someone "woke by that definition". Not sure calling for genociee is "caring about minorities":

For those who are still trying to attack "wokeness", just know you're on the side of the "let's befriend nazis" lady.
