Comment on What's the difference between Woke and Political Correctness?

Depends on if you’re talking about actual woke, ironic woke, or Trump 2.0 era woke. Actual woke is opening your third eye to see what’s really going on around you, making you based. Ironic woke is calling someone/something woke that is clearly not as a joke. In reality, the person being referenced is probably getting their opinions from the hive mind of public consensus like most people, but a different hive mind that makes them THINK they’re enlightened and woke. Trump 2.0 era woke is “anything the most diabolical far right supporter doesn’t like or makes them slightly uncomfortable” which is just about everything. Politically correct aligns most with ironic woke because it relies on consensus on what is deemed “unprofessional” or “offensive”. It’s not inherently a bad thing though, it involves avoiding outdated terminology like “negro” or “retarded” which we should all do at this point despite them being the preferred politically correct term at one point. But it can go too far, and often leads to being politically incorrect to criticize certain groups at all, which is not actual woke. Being actually woke is aware of reality, even if it is offensive to bring up certain things.
