> Your definition of "woke" is one that has been applied to a set of concerns, ideas and strategies from the outside. It is how those who wish to reject those concerns, defeat those ideas and strategies define it. You're quite welcome to do that - it's not as if this is the first time this has happened. But "woke" (an almost absurd term that seems rarely by anyone outside of the conservative right at this point) doesn't have anything to do with the way you define it to the people you actually consider "woke". I think that's worth reflecting on.
I found it to to be the exact opposite. GP has written of the best descriptions of wokeness and gets to the core issue without beating about the bush.

It may get to your perception of the core issue. It does not get to the publically stated perspectives of the people to whom the term is generally actually applied.
- systemvoltage 5y agoThat’s a strange perception you have. You see what I did? Arguments need to be argued through merits, content and logic; not though ad-hominem attacks if my perception is wrong or right.
