Comment on Why do people call it “woke”?
bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 days agoBeing woke: very cool.
Performative “wokeness”, specifically the overbearing type that attempts to impose your beliefs and opinions on other people: very uncool.
When those right-wing jackasses say woke, they mean the latter, even though they’re using the former.
Also, since the actual thing they are against is the “attempting to impose your belief and opinions on other people”, it’s hypocritical of them because that’s what they’re doing.
They’re just not doing it in a way that attempts to make everyone all peace, love, and joy.
The irony is that they expect to receive peace, love, and joy in exchange for their anti-performative wokeness stance against the peace love and joy types.
