“Backlash to woke” is shorthand for people with unprocessed traumas adhering to reactionary tendencies.

If you've heard of #WEBDuBois's concept of "double-consciousness", that's how I view "woke".

The crucifix is the oppressive symbol of how the #RomanSenate punished enemies of their republic and then imperial state.

The symbol was subverted and owned by those whom it oppressed for centuries (first Jews, then Christians).

Jesus was Jewish and #woke.

Never forget: “backlash to #woke” is shorthand for people with unprocessed traumas adhering to reactionary tendencies.

Every time.

@paninid Sometimes they're just grifting though. (Which could come back to trauma too of course)
