Ok cool so you can't define it either. Maybe we should stop flinging around a nebulous term that means absolutely nothing until someone can define it in any way

Ok cool so you can't define it either. Maybe we should stop flinging around a nebulous term that means absolutely nothing until someone can define it in any way, shape, or form.
- distracted_boy 2y agoYou'll find plenty of definitions if you google the term[1]. If you would like a more long form explanation I recommend reading what Paul Graham[2] wrote about it. But to quickly answer your question, being woke means being extremely political correct, to the point where it is just a performance. Paul defined it clearly: > An aggressively performative focus on social justice. But don't focus on the word "woke" in my comment. 1. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke 2. https://paulgraham.com/woke.html https://paulgraham.com/woke.html
- CartyBoston 2y agoIt's a pretty good definition if for some reason you think Paul Graham is in a position to decide what's "performative".
