I’m not looking to be for or against anything here but why that term? It’s like saying “pro-sleep”. This is weird.
minus-square18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·7 months ago Woke means aware. People who are aware of their surroundings tend to care about their surroundings. People who care are more likely to vote to protect the people around them. People who vote to protect other people are considered politically left, while people who vote to hurt other people are considered politically right. The “right” want to use a slur to describe/degrade the “left”. Woke is now used as a slur.
