Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you?

  There’s no woke groups, there’s only woke individuals in groups

  Woke individual leftists that vote fascists into power due to believing electoralism can never fail making their actions valid, going against empowering the people principles leftists stand for

  Woke individual LGBTQ members that scrutinize any work not favoring their agenda with belief it’s done to normalize it making their actions valid, going against principles of inclusivity the movements stands for

  Woke individual religious members that advocate for enforcing their beliefs and traditions on others or turning blind eye to violence from their members with the idea that spreading the belief is the right thing, going against the aspect of free will and choice advocated by the religions

  Woke individual nationalists that target minorities in their own country as not fitting the right identity or image the country stands for for the sake of establishing unity, going against national pride with all it’s diversity of culture that “nationalism” stands for(i have to put this one in quotes as the word’s meaning has been completely ruined from this by now)

  Woke individual competitors that in pursuit of being the best at an activity decide to result to cheating or sabotaging other competitors for the sake of breaking records and making the competitive scene more competitive, going against the fairness principles that those activities and competitors in it stood for

  This is how i see the word woke, nothing to do with any group, any title, any identity, i see it as individuals who violate the principles they claim to stand for, and it always gets done with the belief it’s right, the “woke” in my definition are people i have to actively disassociate from their identities no matter how hard they try to make the two inseparable

    You’re only ever going to find matches for this in places that lack suffering, leftists in struggle never compromise in for stability, struggling inclusivity movements never isolate people, religions under antisemitism never enforce their beliefs, countries in crisis never infight over identity, competitors in dying or new activity never indulge or tolerate unfairness

    Struggle is what kills wokeness, it brings people back to the roots of their beliefs, i think there’s nothing more pure than niche communities because they stand behind the principles that brought them all there 10 times out of 10 or they end up dissolving
