Richard Littler"I am neither conventionally right nor left... but let me go on to say something that sounds exactly like the words of an indoctrinated far-right extremist..."
Snim@Richard_Littler There already is a counter-narrative: that woke culture is functionally a non-thiestic religion. At least that counter-narrative has support from both lefties and righties. It is also a position I share as I am agnostic and see the same weak arguments that theists make.
EyalL@EyalL @Richard_Littler Depends on who you ask. I use it in a general, neutral sense to cover all aspects of the woke/stay woke movement where it transitioned from Black communities into the cultural and political mainstream. The progressive activists would likely give a different definition.
Being aware of systemic racism? That's the definition I know.
But lots of people say various different things when I ask so I don't think there's actual agreed meaning behind this word.
And I think the vagueness is a tool to rally conservatives against an undefined enemy.
@EyalL @Richard_Littler I find that definition problematic, people have opposed systematic racism for decades (and I am one of those people). At a minimum, I would characterize your definition as incomplete.
