In case it isn't already abundantly clear, when they say "woke", they mean "treating people who aren't white males with fairness".

@mattblaze So apparently, one is considered 'woke' by birth now.
Skin color or gender seems to automatically make you so in the usa.
And still, come november, some 40% will still be voting for the Male Chauvinist Pig Party regardless.
Incredible.

"Anti-woke" also implies a preference for a nation of sleepwalkers.

@mattblaze We have to remember these aren't white males like you or me. People like Hegseth and Trump can't possibly compete on a level playing field. White-male supremacists are always the absolute dregs.

It is the post woke post DEI world of incompetent white men chosen only for their identity politics.

If there will ever be a silver lining in any of this hell hole, it will be a nation transformed by the idea that yeah we want competent people and I really don’t give a shit how they look or what pronouns they use

@mattblaze Godwin's second law applies: "Anyone who uses 'woke' as a pejorative will turn out to have been a fuckhead"
