Gotta stay aware, friend. I hate what the term has become, but that’s what “woke” actually is.

Definitely not what ‘woke’ is. Now these jerkoffs may be claiming these terms and doing what they want with them. But that’s not historically what the term means or is about.

It is historically what the term means and is about. It was first a call to wake up and recognize the power of the labor movement (early 1900s) and was then borrowed by black activists to stay aware of racial injustices (1920s). It means to pay the fuck attention to what the fuck is really going on. End of story.

Seriously, go look at their instance, especially the political stuff. It is exactly like the alt-right, except instead of trying to get conservatives to sympathize with Hitler, they’re trying to get liberals to sympathize with Pootin and Whinnie the Pooh.

That professed communists would support the CCP makes sense, though the CCP are not really communists anymore. For them to support Putin doesn’t make any sense in light of what they claim their ideological beliefs to be.
