- ttpphd 4y agoHahahaha so it's illustrated by a triangle with three points of "maoists" (how dated, people are really showing their age), "Nazis", and "liberation" This is John Birch Society schizotypal stuff, not a definition of "woke".
- SuoDuanDao 4y agoAKA 'cancel culture' or 'political correctness gone mad'. I would glibly define it as 'high-stakes competitive virtue signaling by expressing empathy or acknowledging historic injustices harder than your rivals'.

- anonym29 4y agoIsn't it a bit unfair to paint such a massive group of people with such a harsh generalization? I know plenty of conservatives who don't see anyone as "below" them. That's not to say there aren't conservatives who do this (of course there are inconsiderate jerks among any group that size), but surely you don't think that EVERY conservative is a conservative just because of a hierarchical position attributable to circumstances of birth, none of them achieved anything by their own merit, and that they all view other types of people as "below" them, do you?
- icare_1er 4y agoA fairly recent form of social movement where, unlike previous historical social forces, the overarching principle is not religious ("the Church said") or ideological ("Communist Manifesto"), but solely based on the subjective feeling of "being offended". Example: "I am offended, this is non-negotiable, therefore the society must change its dictionary and add 35 pronouns."
