      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.

          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.

              Interesting, since that’s textbook income inequality.

              What sorts of inequalities do you think of, from the perspective of critical theory?

        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.
