His approach to discourse is admirable. He’s woke, which I’m not a fan of, but he’s respectful and has so much empathy for people who disagree with him that one can’t help but respect and admire that.
You’re not a fan of being aware of social inequalities?
He doesn’t actually know what he’s talking about. He’s flailing around trying to reconcile what the word actually meant with Republicans deciding to make it a trigger word for reactionaries.
He can’t just say “I don’t like him because I’ve been told to not like him”, but that’s functionally what it boils down to.
In your own mind!
I am, but I’m not a fan of wokeness. I trust that you’re not so dense that you can’t tell the difference.
It’s not that you can’t define it, no…
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you are dense.
No, it’s certain that you’re wrong and they’re not dense.
You’d have to define it to be wrong, so take a leap rather than call people poo poo heads and run away.
Look, considering you don’t know what wokeness is, I’ll spell it out for you: wokeness is critical theory, which states that, among other things, inequality is inherently bad or wrong, and must be rectified. You don’t need to adhere to critical theory to observe that such inequalities exist though.
You can learn more about Critical Theory here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory
Or about critical theory applied to race, commonly known as Critical Race Theory or CRT, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory
That’s my serious answer, with everything you need to know. After this we can be as silly or goofy as you like.
Since your issue is with critical race theory, and you have stated in multiple comments that the problem with critical race theory is that it says inequality and hierarchy is bad, specifically when it comes to race, I guess its safe to assume you are a racist, then?
I promise you that you never knew anything about critical race theory before republicans told you to be afraid of it like a year ago.
Three years ago :)
It’s not the same as critical theory, but it does have a crossover in concerns
Perhaps; did wokeness precede critical theory? Or did they merge at some point?
Look, considering you don’t know what wokeness is, I’ll spell it out for you:

In a quick sentence, wokeness is critical theory, in particular applied to race, known as critical race theory.
To observe inequalities is not woke; what is woke is to believe that all inequalities or power hierarchies are inherently bad.
What are some “good” inequalities?
I think a variety of levels of pay depending on job position, effort, or skill is a great example. Not all jobs are equal, so they should not all yield the same amount of pay.
Yeah, that’s not what anybody means when they talk about inequalities.
Interesting, since that’s textbook income inequality.
What sorts of inequalities do you think of, from the perspective of critical theory?
Holy shit are you 12?
That sounds like a thinly veiled way of saying you’re a supremacist.
If we’re both the lens of wokeness I’d agree, even though I’m a black dude, as under that framework it’s inequality, not discrimination, that is racism.

You would have to provide your definition of social inequalities for me to answer, since you don’t think that my examples qualify as inequalities.
Could you define “wokeness”?
“Acknowledging that people who aren’t cis white males exist.”
🤦
Turn off fox news and go outside
no u
I hate Fox News. Newsnation is where it’s at if you MUST watch the mainstream media but most corporate media sucks to be honest.
What does woke mean?
What is a woman?
Do you only speak in riddles or something? What the fuck does woke mean lol
I’m surprised you’ve never heard of wokeness before, it’s pretty prominent in America. Do you live in America?

What a weird link. Also it’s wrong. The dictionary says aware of social and political issues, especially racism This word is often used in a disapproving way by people who think that some other people are too easily upset about these issues, or talk too much about them in a way that does not change anything.
You should do more reading so you don’t come across like a dumb ass online.
No I don’t live in that shit hole country thank God lol. Corporations are people and money is free speech.
Shoulda said progressive instead I guess 🤷🏾♂️
But I don’t really care if random Internet people think I’m done, I don’t live for the approval of people I don’t know
