Shitty people think "woke" is a derogatory term because they've yet to wake the fuck up.

@Alice

Same people who think anti-fascist is a derogatory term.

@karnevil9 Like back in the day when Trump would say "Antifa" with an inflection of disgust like...

So you're...PRO fascism?

Spoiler: Yes, yes he is.

My thoughts the first time I saw anything regarding "antifa".
"Hhmm... they look kinda violent in the news." [someone said the longer version of the name] "Oh! Yeah, that'd be why the news makes them look bad. Carry on!"

@karnevil9 @Alice If you're anti-anti-facism... a double negative means you're pro.... *pauses for the audience to complete the sentance*

@Alice and it’s been a bizarre pivot. They used to constantly spew crap about “the great awakening” until Ron “definitely not Q” Watkins fucked off to Australia after perhaps the most embarrassing political campaign in history.

It originated with Africans and their descendants, its pejorative use is boringly racist.

@cy @Alice I'm proud to be woke, I read books I don't burn them and I support human rights. The fact that the neo-nazis have hijacked the word to try and turn it into an insult means that actually being called woke is a compliment. https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/the-woke-movement-and-backlash/
The Woke Movement and Backlash

The "woke" movement is associated with a political drive for racial justice, but has faced backlash, including efforts to suppress speech about racism.

@Alice it's very confusing, they're supposed to be proud of having no idea wtf is going on in society?

@Alice The same people who use woke a pejorative literally say "Wake up sheeple!" without a fucking hint of irony. Walking talking cartoon characters, so fucking dumb.

@Alice Yep , I just replace the word “woke” with respect. People are idiots and there way of thinking is “their opinion “ sick of hearing that also.

@Alice Le seul point positif, c'est que quand vous êtes réveillés, vous ne pouvez plus faire marche arrière : Maintenant vous "savez".

Replace every use of the term "woke" with the phrase "aware of social inequalities, particularly in relation to race and ethnicity" and it quickly becomes clear why these people are awful.

@MamaLake @Alice I've recently noticed ReformUK using "Activist" as a derogatory term - presumably because they themselves don't ever do anything.

@Alice As I've been saying for a while, anyone who uses what amounts largely to 'giving a shit about other people' as an epithet has just told you everything you really need to know about them.
