  It’s not that you can’t define it, no…

    Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you are dense.

      No, it’s certain that you’re wrong and they’re not dense.

      Good have to define it to be wrong, so take a leap rather than call pretty poo poo heads and run away.

        Look, considering you don't know what wokeness is, I'll spell it out for you: wokeness is critical theory, which states that, among other things, inequality is inherently bad or wrong, and must be rectified. You don't need to adhere to critical theory to observe that such inequalities exist though.

        You can learn more about Critical Theory here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory

        Or about critical theory applied to race, commonly known as Critical Race Theory or CRT, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory

        That's my serious answer, with everything you need to know. After this we can be as silly or goofy as you like.

  Wait, what is woke then

    In a quick sentence, wokeness is critical theory, in particular applied to race, known as critical race theory.

    To observe inequalities is not woke; what is woke is to believe that all inequalities or power hierarchies are inherently bad.

      What are some “good” inequalities?

        I think a variety of levels of pay depending on job position, effort, or skill is a great example. Not all jobs are equal, so they should not all yield the same amount of pay.

      That sounds like a thinly veiled way of saying you’re a supremacist.

        If we're both the lens of wokeness I'd agree, even though I'm a black dude, as under that framework it's inequality, not discrimination, that is racism.
    • stillwater@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      How can wokeness be a specific academic concept? That doesn’t make sense, CRT is CRT and it’s just an academic lens.

      But what are some examples of social inequalities that are not inherently bad? Your other examples are not social inequalities. You’re looking at something like suggesting what kinds of systematic racism are good actually, not looking at things like the difference in pay between an engineer and a janitor.

        You would have to provide your definition of social inequalities for me to answer, since you don't think that my examples qualify as inequalities.

  Could you define “wokeness”?
