Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

What? They push the woke bullshit, or actively support the oppressors. If anything, they take the neutral position so they don't have to justify supporting oppression when they can pretend to be neutral.

i was gonna say something to this effect. big tech firms aren't pushing woke anything. they're the most anti-woke shit out there. they want us isolated and divided so we never learn our true power as a populace. if this poster keeps drilling down this insane "woke people are just as ignorant as fascists" bullshit i'm going to block them because their entire argument hinges on assuming white usage of a Black term is correct when it is overtly and intentionally incorrect.

but what else would i expect from a .ml poster. it's always performative leftist outrage trying to shut down anti-authoritarian thought rather than contributing anything meaningful or useful.

Yeah, I was meaning more the 'woke narrative' shit. The tech firms are working hand in glove with conservatives to push the narratives that get ignorant twats all riled up about 'wokeness'. I updated that part for clarity.
