No it isn't, and saying things like this just adds noise. What they mean by the word "woke" is a worldview that delegitimises the things they aspire to or worked hard for (status based on power based on individual agency), and prioritises other forms of social currency (victimisation by external forces) in a way they find performative.

- akoboldfrying 2y agoI can't tell if this is trolling. If you genuinely don't think that each side has principles, which in fact overlap considerably, you aren't very curious about the world. ETA: In case you are genuinely interested in learning about how liberal and conservative people differ psychologically, Jonathan Haidt is a very good person to read.
- kristopolous 2y agoOne groups principles are hierarchy, control, and cruelty. Arbitrary corrupt incompetency is what they're looking for. Caring about other, having respect, being sensitive, these are all 'woke' things from the "great awakening" cult. I want more affordable college and the people in charge want to send people like me to concentration camps through kangaroo courts. This is the difference.
- supplied_demand 2y agoThe people who go on about “woke” are the most performative victims of all. Invoking the word “woke” for things they don’t like is a form of that performative victimization.
