Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
What is the issue with ‘woke’ and the rightwing fascination of it?
A lot of people don’t even know what ‘woke’ means. Apparently it means…
“Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights”.
So, it does beg the question as to why ‘woke’ is bad, and why would you want to be ‘anti-woke’? It’s be like wanting to be a racists, sexist, or bigot. But I suppose there are some who’d proudly be a member of the KKK (providing they can keep their face and identity concealed!).
And have a look at the current Disney share prices (you can do so for yourself). They are still hovering at about the same level, so it’s a stretch the equate any particular dip or rise to any particular announcement.
The only real plus I take from hearing the word ‘woke’ is that when I hear it I’m alerted to the probability that someone has been listening (and probably deceived by) Sky News or News Corp where ‘woke’ (and ‘elite’) seem to be used often - without any thought as to what the word/s actually means. They are actually inviting their viewers/listeners/readers to be bigots.
Do you want me to use baizuo instead of woke? Just for you.
I’d settle for you thinking critically and not just seeing everything as a “woke” agenda of the left.

… and ironically, ‘woke’ is a right wing thing. I hardly ever hear ‘woke’ being used from the left, even though the word had left origins. Perhaps it is one of those words that has been hijacked?
Yep, saw this happen during the drought of the 80’s and 90’s. Many a concrete slab moved due to ground shrinkage, causing relatively new houses to crack.What ever any of you do .don't ever bother to look here its got the lot mentioned above.
When the concrete slab cracks or sinks 10 years later what happens then?
So I call you woke and you call me a bigoted kkk member..... tell us all what you really think.Why don’t you have a go at rereading anything with ‘woke’ in it, but substitute ‘woke’ with ‘alert to racial prejudice and discrimination’ and see if you really want to repost/believe/agree before reposting/agreeing/believing.
Why would you want to be ‘anti-woke’? Being anti-woke is like wanting to be a bigot - you can be if you want, but I wouldn’t be proud of it at all. Hell, you might like to cover you face the same way as a KKK member.
Or the shorter version... look up the meaning of a word before using it!
