Whenever somebody uses the "woke" they are just saying they are weak. Use it "woke" against them.

To me when I now here the right using the term "woke" because intellectually the just can't keep up.

When you hear, "Oh that is woke." That shows that the speaker can't deal with the issues or the facts.
People like DeSantis and Josh Hawley despite their Ivy League degrees either can't keep on what is what
or I think more likely they know the side they are backing "shit is weak."

Woke = Dumbfuck

1. They are certainly weak when it comes to English composition

2. I would rather keep woke in its original meaning

"Woke" is destined to tale its place in English dictionaries no matter what. The right wing is putting an enotmous amount of effort to make it a derogatory term, bastardizing the original meaning of woke in the process.

I would rather see "woke" as a synonym to "enlightened", the way it was intended to be. To counter the right wing narrative, it may be more effective to describe "anti-woke" to be synonymous with "ignorant", which the rabid right wingers certainly are.

3. Me, too. Woke does not dumbfuck. Antiwoke dumbfuck.

4. I agree. The term is enlightened, aware, educated. All the things they hate.

It is the opposite of ignorant.

[Botany]

5. Whenever I hear "woke" used I just fast forward to "ignorant."

Agreed that using the adjective "woke" is much more elegant but I don't see that happening
so we should seize their use of "woke" as there are coming from the "no diving end of the
gene pool."

6. Proud to be "Woke"

8. As in a play, referring to Marcus Garvey.

I been sleeping all my life. And now that Mr Garvey done woke me up, I’m gon’ stay woke. And I’m gon’ help him wake up other black folk.

Feel free to replace "woke" by "weak."

Marcus Garvey done weaken him and he's gonna stay weak. And he's gon' help him weaken other black folk. (Yeah, yeah, double indirect speech. Whatever.)

Not my assertion. Just rather directly applying yours.

The word meant something for 60-70 years before it was taken up by (R). Suddenly it's meaningless.

The word had a meaning. That most can't give it a formal definition doesn't bother me. "Define in 20 words a scientific definition of 'momentum'. 'Element'? Define 'pig'." Most would hem, haw, and, you know, we'd think that nobody knew what the words means. " 'What's a pig?' I'm not a biologist'." Yeah, that's drivel. They ask people to do what people don't normally do and are aghast that people can't do quickly what they don't usually ever do.

My first question would have to be, "How do the older and the newer definitions differ? What's the overlap?" Critical thinking, that. *Then* we can usefully talk.

9. Truly and willfully ignorant.. that is what they have become
