But.. that's what woke is now, if it ever was anything different. It's the cosplaying, the signaling. It's very funny that they made the song and dance literal song and dances. Maybe you don't like that it be like it is, but it do. Ah, which is exactly what the urban dictionary entry tells you. Funny.

Urban dictionary explicitly states that there are two competing definitions. Much like fascists are trying to redefine critical race theory, ignoramuses are redefining woke because they can’t, or haven’t bothered, to grok intersectionality. To be clear, I think we’re both correct here, though your statement about the cosplaying is not an feature inherent to intersectional research and suggesting such shows your contempt for people doing work you know little of. If anything, pageantry is a time honed pastime of the vested interests so threatened by intersectional research, whose practitioners, by necessity, cannot rely on their audiences to understand the nuances of pageantry in the same way that Fox News can reliably evoke feelings from childhood by fear mongering about illegals destroying the world their viewers grew up in.

  This is how I know we're past "peak woke". The usual playbook of redefining words is cracking, and you lost control of your own word. Nature is healing.

    This is an interesting comment, in the same way that it is interesting to watch tucker Carlsons lawyers define woke on the record. What is peak woke to you? To me it passed long ago, as soon as normies started ignorantly appropriating it to be used antithetically to its roots. What’s this usual playbook of redefining words you speak of? It’s not my word, that’s how words work, and the language you use around possession of inanimate objects colors the rest of your comments in an unsavory light. Nature is healing? Expound please.
