Woke

You do realise that ‘woke’ is just conservative commentator’s talking point, progressive people really have little understanding as to what it is.

The conservative commentators had to give the ‘thing’ they are railing against a name, so when they are frothing on about all the things they are against, which is essentially any change in society, it is so much easier if they can call it something.

They can’t keep saying, ‘the thing we’re against”, as it just makes it too hard, as conservatives are essentially against everything that is new, unless, of course, it is going to make them money, and then they are all for it, it doesn’t matter what.

For the longest time, I had trouble identifying what conservatives are for, then I realised, anything that was around in their parent’s, or grandparent’s day, they are for, anything that deviates from that they are against, unless, of course, as I have already mention, it is going to make them money, then any moral outrage is instantly dropped.

And ‘woke’ is genius, as it essentially means nothing, and it gives the conservatives every one of their petty wants, and long held bigotries, a name that is short and easily said. It gives all of their prejudices a nice name to go by. They are not against policies that curtail racism, they are not against policies that curtail sexism, they are not against policies that curtail homophobia, they are not against policies against anti-transism – oh, no, they still feel safe enough to be against that one – they are simply against all this ‘woke’ nonsense, they just can’t abide that.
