A whole lot of the reasonable parts of "woke" boil down to a few things:
(1) Don't be an asshole.
(2) Don't meddle in the affairs of others if those affairs do not concern you.
(3) Evaluate other people from first principles and starting with a positive assumption, and check yourself for subconscious biases against groups of people that you might have picked up without really thinking about them. This is really a subset of checking oneself for irrational cognitive biases, which is a good practice in all areas.
- skinkestek 5y agoDid you miss a word or something: If this was part of being woke it wouldn't be considered a slur by anyone..?

- tharne 5y agoWokism is precisely about being an asshole, and using the language of social justice justify bullying and intimidating people. I think we're a little late to the game recognizing this because historically authoritarian and bullying behavior has been more likely to come from the right than from the left. I generally avoid projects with a CoC because it signifies that the people in charge are more interested in picking fights than they are in developing great software.
