Kind of surprised that Lemmy fell for it too.
What we fall for?
Woke
Going to need a little more than a word that seems to have lost all meaning.
I am saying what you said actually was in the original meaning.
Waking up from a snooze?
Aware of social dynamics that are just not quite right.
Like the existence of billionaire celebrities.
Anyway i guess this thread does settle it. I take full responsibility for this mess of a comment chain.
The term i considered at one point a uniting concept of progressive values is dead. If it no longer conveys the message we want to express it becomes useless. Propaganda seems to have won that battle.
But a good thing, we are still here and we still seem aware of social dynamics that are not quite right, like billionaire celebrities.
Stay woke ✊
