Replace the second panel red with “woke and gay”

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Yup they think they are the open minded ones or whomever doesn’t immediately fall down to them and refer to their words as gospel as not open minded or interested in ‘a discussion’.

I still haven't looked into what "woke" actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don't like.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

In left-leaning spaces it means "cognizant of the injustice pervading society". On the right it means "uppity".

[–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

cognizant of the injustice pervading society

I mean that's what it means to people on the right also they just think that's a bad thing.

Yeah, seems like "woke" is anything we're not supposed to approve of this month.

I do find the word "woke" incredibly useful.

The moment the word exits someone's mouth (as a complaint), I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).

Edit: I've actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it's "wokeness", too.

[–] josefo@leminal.space 35 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

that's why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago

It's why the word was co-opted by the Far Right, and popularised as an insult. Otherwise they'd have to say "kind".

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Hahahah that's what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It's pretty interesting.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Actually in ancient etruscan...

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 21 hours ago

... person meant mask. If you call someone a person, you accuse them of playing a role. Fact.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

So it doesn't mean awake anymore?

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah he thinks it means whatever the fuck the American fat right media says it does.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Don’t you dare fix that typo.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

Hahahaha no sir

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 17 hours ago

Yeah that's definitely going into my vocab now.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

are you saying you're woke on the subject? I thought it was from rap culture.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 4 points 20 hours ago

It's from black culture. You tell your friends to stay woke so that when the cops stop them for no good reason, they remember to treat the cop like a wild animal and be careful around them. If you're black and you treat a cop like a human being, you'll get shot. So you gotta stay woke.

[–] ByteOnBikes 13 points 19 hours ago

Hey buddy! I may be woke. And I may be gay! And... What was the third thing you called me?

[–] bradd@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Also there is no way the second dude isn't going. He's going and hes going to bs and eat and drink beer and belch, no matter who else is going to be there.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

If it's anything like my brothers family they'll be the first ones in line for food and the first ones to leave too.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

That’s probably being kind compared to what would be said if it actually were a problem.
