Have You Ever Been Asked If You're Woke?
Forums:
A gentleman at my work asked me. We are, or were, normally cordial and only talked about non political stuff.
Same guy also asks thing like "Where do you get you news, CNN?" and "Do you see what Biden's doing!?"
All completely unprovoked and with a tone that seemed like he wanted to start a "debate".
I told him "yea, I woke this morning, took a shit, had some tea, took another shit, and came to work, how about you?"
Then "Na, all US news has an agenda and is biased so I get my info from The BBC".
And as for Biden, I said "Not trying to start a civil war?"
He just went "Huh". and walked away.
Hasn't talked to me much lately.
Life is good.

Good response. Funny, I run in pretty liberal circles and can't recall anyone I know using the phrase "woke."
One of my guilty pleasures is wasting time trolling the Fox News comment section and it is weird seeing so many people with a myopic view of the world broken down along the lines of "Liberal v. Conservative" and "Fox v. CNN," even when discussing completely apolitical events and world affairs that have nothing to do with US domestic policy.

Yep, the only idiots fixated on "wokeness" are those on the far right. Sounds about right and fitting I suppose.

Perhaps some more interesting questions are:
1. What is it about the human condition / cognitive apparatus that causes us to be "asleep"?
2. What is it to be "totally woke"; and is it something we can "handle"?

People who actually employ
People who actually employ the term "woke" in their lexicon are usually the same folks who also call people words like retarded or dike or snowflake.
you know, when they're not busy screaming about voter i.d. or gain of function research......
