    Woke is awesome, and I'll own the "negative" connotation. Fuck MAGA asshat fascists; they seek to eliminate what little democracy was even there.

    Woke means: not being an asshat. Woke means: caring for the environment, caring for labour rights, caring to fight oligarchy.

    It has a negative connotation only for nazis and racists. For everyone else it has a clear, well defined meaning. Anyone who uses it as pejorative is a racist, nazi propagandist.

    I've never heard anyone say either of those things but I don't have an argument against the first one based my understanding of gender.

    I think that parts of your statement are likely correct but I doubt a lot of it. The comment you replied to was correct though it is likely more nuanced. That is where your point could play in (which is what enables much exaggeration used by opponents) but your examples show me that you are quite biased (not that I am not) and not necessarily part of those who would be willing to listen to the whole thing.

    That reason is right wing propogandists who have a long history of trying to appropriate language others are using and using it as a negative label within their own community to try to distract from all the bullshit they're doing to those bigots they are distracting.

    That's it.
