Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Its the authoritarian clap back againts the hyper woke. The world went hard left now we going hard right.
Define woke.
As far as I can tell it now means "anything mush-brained right wingers don't like" but maybe you can do better.
Woke ideology is a social and philosophical movement that prioritizes identity politics, cultural Marxism, and social constructivism.
It emphasises:
Basicly
This then meads to:
I love that you've tried so hard to lead a veneer of intellectualism to the contradictory and reactionary thought processes of the far right.
To sum up your post, you're describing “anything mush-brained right wingers don’t like” but with fancy bullet points.
I wasnt aware that using a word then providing a definition when asked was was a contradictory and reactionary thought proccess of the far right.
Do u have an alternative word u would prefer me to use instead of woke to describe the outlined definition i provided?
You didn't provide a definition, for instance "The importance of group identity over individual identity". You might as well be talking about communism, or the military, or a sports team.
Thats how words work u use combine multiple concepts together to create a new things that encapsules the whole. For instance if u where to define a table as having legs a table top etc then some moron claimed well i have legs ur definition sucks that wouldnt be a good faith interpretation would it?
Sure, you didn't do that though. Let's take the second item, "The existence of systemic oppression and power imbalances"
That's the original definition, not what right wingers use to deflect away from the original. You're all over the place.
I'm interpreting in good faith, the problem is on your side. You're trying (and failing) to assign a definition to something that doesn't have one other than “anything mush-brained right wingers don’t like”. Just accept it instead of tying your brain in knots.
So yep, it's a catch all for every bullshit boogeyman that mush brain trash people don't understand.
I would prefer if you would critique the ideas, instead of calling me a mush brained trash person. Insults are not good faith engagement of ideas.
Yea but they're all you deserve for being dumb enough to believe the fascist firehose of horseshit.
So now ur calling me a fascist cos i disagree about the definition of a word? That is the most immature load of horse shit in the history horse shit.
No, you're a fascist because you're supporting fascism.
