I still don't understand what is wrong with being Woke? Being woke basically means that we see the BS for what it is, BS? Basically, the premise of the movie "Don't look up"? So if someone cares for another person, is that now woke and somehow negative? So how can you even do a analysis of what is woke or not woke (I dont mean the BS stats that Cruz mentioned, i mean more in regards to the article). Its basically an impossible task to identify as it has been setup in a way where anything inconvenient to someone can be blamed as woke.

Yes, you absolutely right. The goal is to identify and suppress people who care about anyone beyond themselves.

Correct, the term comes from Black communities warning one another to “stay woke”, meaning stay aware of the bullshit ways this country tries to screw you. Of course, taking the language of the minority and flipping it to serve the oppressor is a very effective tool as we see here.

Almost nothing is problematic if you look at only the good things.

Yes, there's been a lot of talk about rejecting the sin of empathy in "Christian" circles. https://wonderingpilgrim.com/2025/01/28/the-sin-of-empathy/ https://wonderingpilgrim.com/2025/01/28/the-sin-of-empathy/ Goes over some of the arguments. The VP, who is a practicing Catholic, has also been pushing a medieval Catholic theology known as "ordo amoris" which was rebutted by the pope himself https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/letters/2025/documents/20250210-lettera-vescovi-usa.html https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/letters/2025/doc...
