Do you really expect universal understanding and agreement with a word/term that you felt necessary to put into air-quotes?
How about a proper definition to start with? Simply so that one can be clear on what they are agreeing or disagreeing with.
- Tiktaalik 3y agoPeople who use the word woke won't even define it themselves because doing so makes them look clearly like a bigot. That's why it's all nods and winks.

- smoothjazz 3y agoI put it in quotes because it's the term a certain set of people use (not me). It had a historical meaning to the Black community but that's been usurped by reactionaries.
- throwwwaway 3y agoHere's a definition that should be acceptable to both sides. Wokeness is the belief in three axioms: 1. Disparity is undesirable 2. Disparity is caused by discrimination 3. Applying different discrimination will reduce disparity Those on the "for" side will agree with these axioms. Those on the "against" side will disagree with these axioms.
