Am I Woke?

Post by Turkeytop » Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:24 pm

"Woke." I keep seeing and hearing the term, but I have no idea what it means.

Am I woke? If I'm not woke, is it something I should aspire to become?

Is woke a good thing? Or is woke a bad thing?


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

It's a silly right wing talking point, up on the same level as Hunter Bidens laptop.

You don't want to be woke, and don't listen to peabrains, it is NOT a right wing talking point.


Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Woke is just a slur for someone who is progressive.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.

Also, I like how liberals have rebranded themselves inaccurately as progressives...

That's the only place you hear it from, right wing hacks like yourself.

A segment of the party has rebranded that way. Just as some Republicans are populists…. Even while pushing unpopular ideas.

Are things all out of "Matt's Order" again? People using different word to describe things.... Shame on them.

Woke is if you think replacing pancake syrup bottles will help solve humanity.

The use of preferred pronouns but you really only use them in their presence about 1% of the time. Where's Bob? He is out of the office. Anyone see Nancy? She is upstairs. I like Joe he is funny to laugh at especially when he walks like he has a loaded diaper....

Don't ask me. Sometime around 1998 a popular rapper turned actor extolled the virtues of "getting jiggy with it." He made it seem like it was important, almost necessary, to "get jiggy."

After many inquiry's, to try and find out what I needed to do should I at some point desire to become "jiggy," I still haven't received a satisfactory answer.

Talk about a slap in the face.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Maybe this will help. From the Urban Dictionary....
Woke
Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and think of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.

Looks like I'm not woke. Is it something I should strive to become?
