That phrase is on par with "chemtrails" and "vaccine truther" with its ability to vaporize one's credibility, if used unironically as OP did in those emails.

- sanity 5mo agoYour need to sort people based on trigger phrases says it all.
- hn_go_brrrrr 5mo agoNo, it really doesn't. You're reacting super defensively throughout this entire thread. It's a really bad look.

- pessimizer 4mo agoHe's actually being measured and fair, even in the face of aggressive insults from strangers.
- evilos 4mo agoIt's not the phrase that's the issue, but you knew that.
- sanity 4mo agoWhat is the issue? Please be specific.
- evilos 4mo agoNo one can even agree on what woke even means. "Woke mind virus" 99% of the time is uttered by extremely unserious and contrarian people. It's a fantastic signal that screams "Ignore me, I'm not worth the trouble." So the issue is that you're insufficiently socialized to understand this or don't care, both of which are very poor signs for someone who wants to lead a long lived organization which stewards a open global platform. IMO your behavior in this thread is very strong evidence that any org you lead is unlikely to thrive. You seem to lack the disposition and people skills.
- sanity 4mo ago"Woke" refers to Critical Social Justice ideology, hope that helps.
- evilos 4mo agoThat's what it means to you, most users mean "something liberal/progressive I don't like".
- sanity 4mo agoMost people don't know the academic umbrella term, but if you ask for examples of "woke", it's usually pretty obvious they're referring to Critical Social Justice ideology and its associated norms. People can argue about the boundaries of the term, but pretending nobody knows what is being referred to is not a serious argument.
- evilos 4mo ago> but pretending nobody knows what is being referred to is not a serious argument The claim is that it's too broad to be useful. But as I said earlier, this is all besides the point.
- sanity 4mo agoIt's clearly an effective label, otherwise it wouldn't be so widely used. The real objection is that supporters of the ideology dislike the characterization embedded in the term.
- evilos 4mo agoEffective as a social signal, absolutely. Not for anything substantive. Again, besides the point.
